We order in lunch every week at work for about 15 people and this is the best service we have ever had. Normally with other places we order, the food is cold when it should be hot, an order is missing etc. but man these guys DELIVERED the food to our office, the food was fresh, all the orders where there, and they threw in a TON of beer bread and sugar cookies. I know they are locally owned and man they are doing a great job! They will be getting our repeated business and referrals. read more

This gem is 5 minutes from my brothers house. I visit often from California. Beer bread is yummy but I'm sure not a friend to your waist line. Smoked Chicken Pasta Salad is the BOMB!! This dish is so good, my sister and I always make sure to buy a few orders for take out, to indulge in at home for lunch or dinner. The longer it's in the fridge with the DELICIOUS "Special Pasta Dressing" marinating on it, the better. You can buy the dressing, and or bring in your empty dressing jar for a discounted refill. I took a bottle back home to California, so I can continue to enjoy this salad. The sugar cookies they give you for free, are beyond TOO sweet. Frosting was so sweet I had to wipe it off with a napkin to eat the cookie. I like sweets, but frosting on these, made me feel (sugar sweet sick). However, the cookies in the display case, looked to DIE for, and not because they were too sweet. I wished I had tried the Chocolate Chip cookie! read more

Walking up to the cafe, I did not have high expectations and was just hoping for some good food. It was very well decorated and the front case full of yummy looking cookies got me excited to eat. Our waitress was extremely nice and recommended that I try the buffalo ranch chicken melt with buffalo fries. I know, it sounds like a lot of buffalo but it really isn't. The sandwich itself was heavenly-I loved how they lightly coated the fried chicken breast with buffalo sauce and didn't drench it. The cheese that they used was SO good! I also, really enjoyed the buffalo fries. Overall, this place has great food, great portions, great decor, and great service! read more

Hug-Hes American Kitchen - Buffalo Ranch Chicken Melt w/ Buffalo Fries and Fry Sauce! - Sandwiches Near Me - Ogden, Utah

I've never heard of this place before today, but its been around for a long time according to the folks I dined here with. The atmosphere here is "cozy cottage". That's the best way for me to describe it. The menu was on the larger side, lots of great choices and portions were generous. It's a great place to go for a dining experience that isn't a national cookie cutter chain. Their bread is amazing with and the spread served with it is even better. Going to come back to try the other dishes. read more

Hug-Hes American Kitchen - Philly Cheese Steak - Sandwiches Near Me - Ogden, Utah

See all

Unassuming exterior leads to this delicious eatery. Wife had the French dip and I had the burger. Everything was cooked great looked great and was very tasty. They cater also saw there specialty chicken pasta salad go out for delivery when we were there and it looked amazing. Fresh baked cookies and treats await you at the counter. Don't assume by the strip mall location that this place doesn't have great food read more

Always pleased when we eat here. Food is good. Service is friendly. Always on our list to go when we are near one of their locations. Can't say a specific menu item, every time I go I get something different and I am always happy. read more

Great food. Maji maji fish cooked to pefection. Made me forget that it was snowing outside. Great atmosphere, service and staff is just awesome. Glad my wife asked to try it. read more

Hug-Hes American Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Everything here is good. Rumor is the owner is a perfectionist and it shows through in everything we order. Even the chocolate chip cookies seem like they make them from scratch daily. I don't want to oversell it but it is great food in a nice place. We always think it is a good idea to eat hear whenever it is suggested. After reading the efy girls review I am convinced that she is to inexperienced to know what she is talking about. Also about the guy that did not like the Mexican dish, (he could be right) but I have never had the Mexican dish because this is an American cafe. Everything I order is like homemade if I had an awesome kitchen. Tips. Ask for the free cookies after dinner or buy an amazing dessert. They are all way way good. Try this place out as it is truly a one and only read more

Apparently a play on "Hughes", but pronounced Hug Hess, I literally had no idea what to make of this place, other than it was next to the now-defunct Hinomaru Sushi. What is inside is partly small-town café and partly bakery, with some fairly unique goodies to choose from. Menu is fairly standard pedestrian Americana (think hearty, "meat 'n' potatoes", "stick to your ribs" type things and you won't be far off), but they do a very nice job with most of it. Beer bread comes free to the table as well and all of the staff is very nice. They are also particularly proud of their cookies, but I couldn't really get past the frosting on the ones I tried, so maybe if I could get some without. They did seem to have a nice chew to them as well. Coke Zero is on tap as well, so good touch there. As to the food, they have a very fried "make your own appetizer" and the fried green beans were the clear winner there, though the other two were ok mozzarella sticks (again, somewhat pedestrian) and fried pickles, which were perhaps above average, but not among the best I've had of that particular food. Buffalo fries were also ok, though I don't know that I would get those again. Fried shrimp were likewise ok, but like nearly every single beer batter I've ever had on seafood, there was far too much of it. Cocktail sauce was also not to my liking. This is a very pleasant place to spend time, with tvs and a nice outdoor patio and a very comfortable feel to the interior atmosphere. I greatly enjoyed that part. If you're in the food for that sort "greasy spoon" food, but with a more upgraded sensibility to it, this is a good spot. read more

I rarely give a business five stars but I've been coming here for years and it is one of our favorite Ogden cafes. Whenever I bring a friend lunch or dine with visitors to Ogden I recommend Hug-Hes for lunch. You can't beat their smoked chicken/potpourri pasta, their beer bread, and their amazing sugar cookies. The price is reasonable and the portions are huge. They have a drive thru - which makes picking up lunch easy for those of us with kids. We've never had a problem with their service. read more

This is and has been a favorite cafe of ours for years, the drive through is so convenient, there Bakery always has a fresh beautiful variety of cookies and English toffee. The food is always colorful and fresh, with a wonderful taste to everything. read more

Great food! Not fast service. This place isn't good for rush hour lunch eating people. Other than that it's absolutely amazing!!

Had a lovely lunch here with my mom! The food was delicious & made with fresh ingredients. The service & atmosphere were great also. Highly recommended! read more

So good. Consistent for more than 20 years. Still some old favorites on the menu along with a handful of new and improved offerings. Took my kids here for the first time the other day and they loved it. Big burgers. Great salads. Fun drinks. Amazing beer bread. And the best sugar cookies you've ever had. read more

Landed here for a late breakfast though the menu offers lunch and dinner options only. A bit if an older diner vibe, fancy lighting, highback seating that was a tad uncomfortable. Started with a clam chowder bowl which was decent. Main entree was the poached salmon salad - a bit simple. The coffee however was cold, tasting like it had been sitting on the burner for awhile and someone turned it off. Hoped the refill would warm it up but it too was cold. Attentive service. read more

What a "hidden" gem... the food tastes amazing, is fresh, and is generously optioned. The service was outstanding and we were seated within moments of arriving in their friendly little cafe. I have a feeling this is going to be my mom and I'd new favorite place to get together for dinner. read more

I've always wanted to try Hug-Hes but didn't get a chance until today. The food exceeded my expectations and the portion size was on point! I ordered the turkey burger. It was delicious and juicy! The sides were superb, I especially love the pasta salad! Plus I was happily surprised when it came with a cookie and bread with spread. Thank you for fast and easy takeout service and yummy food! I will definitely be returning. read more

My favorite little place in Ogden! I take everyone new to Ogden or visit here! Pasta salad is to die for. Try the turkey avocado sandwich or the ranch buffalo melt. I would go this place very day if I could! read more

Bland, uninteresting, with a few things done poorly. This place screams local comfort food, just like mom used to make. That is, if mom overcooked the pork, forgot to season anything, and steams her broccoli stems with the woody parts still intact. read more

Lunch was solid. Big selection of salads, ample burgers and sandwiches. Buffalo fries were crispy little potato discs with buff seasoning. My turkey, burger came with a side salad and choice of sides. Service was prompt, friendly and earnest. As an out of towner, I was pleased for an honest meal. read more

We like it. No complaints really. I love the club on the beer bread. Burgers are huge! We also love the bbq chicken salad and pasta salad supreme. Get the house dressing! It's the best! We love that they have a drive through and you don't even have to pre-order! Just because of that, we go a lot! O.K. So I am changing my review from four stars to five stars and I will tell you why... Tonight my husband went to Hug Hes to pick up some food for our family. When he got home we opened our order to find several items missing. We were pretty disappointed since we knew we would not be able to drive back to have it fixed since we live 40 minutes away. I sent an email to Hug Hes explaining what had happened and if there was anything they could do. Within an hour (Katherine-I'm assuming the manager), called me. I missed her call but called her back. She was on her way home but still answered my call on her personal phone on her personal time. She was very apologetic and understanding. She pulled over on the side of the road to get my address so she could send me a nice credit that I was more than happy with. I ended my conversation with her feeling more than taken care of. There is no doubt in my mind that Hug Hes is an establishment that truly cares about their patrons. To take the time to get back with me on my complaint almost immediately and then to use her personal time to take care of me was extraordinary customer service! I was more than impressed and will recommend Hug Hes to all of my friends, family and co-workers. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem. Me and my friends always go to Hug-Hes after school just because it's delicious and it's not that pricey. The beer bread with the strawberry butter is to die for and the bread pudding is delicious! Make sure you try to Cobb salad with poppy seed dressing. I would definitely recommend it to everyone that wants to enjoy good food at a good price. read more

Come here with my Wife often. Never had a bad meal here. Service is always good, cookies are the highlight!!! Pumpkin with cream cheese icing is the BEST!!! Reuben is killer, chicken salad croissant is good, beer bread sandwich is a Monster! Chicken and biscuits was tasty, salads are good and the menu variety is good. The potpourri chicken salad was not what I expected. It's literally a bowl of pasta salad topped with fettuccine noodles and diced chicken. Tasty but the pasta on pasta was strange, I expected some greens in there!!! I've never left hungry and I've never had a meal that wasn't tasty. We dig it!!! read more

My favorite restaurant in all of Utah. Excellent food and service. My waitress, Talia is an extremely sweet and cute woman. She's so nice to me every time I come in and they have the best cookies on this planet. Would recommend this restaurant to any person dead or alive on this Earth. read more

Excellent service, great food for both kids and adults. The beer bread is so good! Great place for lunch and dinner.

My daughter and I stopped for dinner on our way Christmas shopping. She got the amazing smoked chicken salad which is normally what I get. I decided to get a sandwich with a side of the pasta. The sandwich was less than amazing. The bread was a little dry and the bacon was very over cooked. But the turkey on the sandwich was tasty as was the side of pasta salad. When our server came back to check on us we asked for a box for my daughter. She saw my mostly untouched sandwich and asked why I didn't want a box. Long story short she offered me something else but I was full. The pasta salad was great. We ordered a sugar cookie to go and when she brought back the box for my daughter and the check she brought a bag with 2 to go containers in it. I asked "what's in here" and she just smiled a walked away quickly. A quick glance at my check revealed that she took off my sandwich and charged us for a cookie. The bag contained TWO cookies and a full order of the smoked chicken salad. When she came to collect the check I told her she was being too generous and her reply was "I want you to be happy"! I'm so impressed with the lengths they are willing to go to please! We don't eat out often but I guarantee we will return to Hug-Hes!! read more

First time visit here as it is extremely difficult to bypass Totto right next door! Had heard good things about this place and decided to stop in for some lunch. Kyler, my server, was spot on and very attentive to the table needs. He even made a few recommendations, brought some scrumptious bread as well as kept my glass full......also gave me a complimentary sugar cookie as it was my first time! I had the Buffalo Chicken Melt with steak fries and it was absolutely fantastic. This is quite a gem in the South Ogden area and well worth trying. Triple thumbs up here! read more

I have eaten at this location once, on a date night. I ordered the ribs, and they were perfect. I loved the italian sodas, fries, but what I keep going back for is the pumkpin cookies. Somehow, it was their pink frosting sugar cookies that won some award. Booo! Someone got it all wrong! The cream cheese frosting on the pumpkin cookie is just holier than the pink frosting. It's like celestial, perfected, resplendently beautiful. Wanna hear about the first time I tried it? My wife went out to eat here with her sister and mom. They ate a bunch of I don't know what, but somehow, a quarter of the pumpkin cookie survived and my blessed wife brought it home to me. I think I ended up eating it the next day. I almost cried. A day old pumpkin cookie? Yes! So shut up and eat there so the place stays open for business! And don't even think about buying my pumkpin cookie. Get the peanut butter bar or chocolate chip. read more

Always the freshest food. Very comfortable setting where you can sit and visit with friends outside in warm weather or around a fireplace in winter. The staff is always very willing to 'make it your way' . read more

What this place lacks for in ambiance it makes up for in the food. A tucked away location.

Service was ok. Ordered the fish and chips. The tartar sauce was not good at all. It didn't taste fresh. Waitress brought a new cup but it was just as bad as the first. This was our first time here and I wanted to try it after reading the reviews. Not sure what the hype is all about. Food was overpriced for the quality. We won't be back... Also, instead of closing off a section to clean, the employees were sweeping, moving tables away from the walls and vacuuming less than 5 feet away from our table. Glad they clean but it could have easily been done after we left. North Ogden location. read more

Tried this place for the first time today, and I am very happy that I did! The service was as amazing as the food, in a very comfortable setting. read more

I went to efy at Weber State and they catered hug he's. Let's just say it was really disgusting. I practically starved that week. Every single thing we had was gross. read more

First visit I had fish taco. Fish piece was small and over cooked. Went back a second time thinking I might have caught them on a bad day. Was equally disappointed with my meal read more

I have been coming here for years, and have. never been disappointed. All of the staff is super friendly and attentive to your needs. Everything on the menu has been good so far, but my absolute favorite is their pasta salad. You won't be disappointed when you eat here! read more

I'm in love with their new pan seared Salmon that I have them put on the Smoked Chicken Pasta Salad but substitute the chicken for Salmon--so yummy. I'm also a dessert snot and I love their Beer Bread Pudding-to die for and so worth the calories!! read more

The bread here is the best. food is pretty good and the oreo ball....well what else do I have to say. this place is worth a shot if you wanting to try it. read more

Had their pasta Had their cookies. Going back again and again. The potions are huge. I shared with my best buddy my hubby. He hates pasta but this convinced him there is no place like pasta. Went crazy over the sugar cookies. Yum read more

The smoked chicken pasta can't be beat! I love this classic comfort food and I could practically drink the dressing. Another favorite is the Philly! The beer bread is delicious and the sugar cookies are the perfect cookie to frosting ratio. read more
