I drove by this place, repeatedly, not recognizing it for what it was for months, without giving it a second thought and then when I finally was looking for it, drove by it again because I thought it said Chugs, which seemed like either another one of those cutesy fountain drink places or a coffee place, neither of which has much use to me. So, signage definitely could use some improvement, but I would strongly reconsider calling it "Hugs", which could mean several different businesses but does not call to mind food exactly. This is basically a scaled-down version of the full restaurant in Ogden. Inside are mostly desserts and lunch-type items, which is what you have to choose from should you want breakfast, for instance. Inside is a room much longer than wide, but which is also kind of an off-putting space. I'm not sure what they're going for, but if comfort is one of those things, they missed pretty wildly. Bathrooms are great, however, which is a nice bonus. Soda selection is also fantastic as was the staff, who gets this the push. The food is more or less along the lines of the full scale place in Ogden, which is to say excellent. Everything we had was great, from the fish & chips to the BBQ pork sandwich to the fries to the bread and all of the fried appetizers. No shame in the game there and though I'd probably choose the British place over this for fish & chips, I wasn't at all upset by what I had here. The menu is a touch on the eclectic side, which is great if you're in the mood for it, which I wasn't and so my choices were thereby limited. This brings up the conundrum of this place, namely that the menu is generally stuff that is more or less angling towards comfort (read: slow) food, but the space is not conducive to a languidly paced eating experience. As such, it doesn't fit either the role of get in, grab it, get out on the menu side or the hang out for a while role on the food side. You definitely could do worse than to go here, but a slight redirection of interior space to intent would work wonders, in addition to the aforementioned sign and name of the place. read more

I was in Layton for a brief moment and was starving.. found this place on yelp and just happened to stumble into the drive thru. Ordered the chicken sandwich and a tigers blood to go. Both tasted amazing and I was so happy that I didn't have to go into the place and wait in the line. I will definitely come back next time I'm around. read more

Great food. I had the buffalo ranch chicken sandwich and it was excellent. The sweet potato fries were great as well. We will definitely come back. read more

We ordered salads...food was not fresh. Avocados were brown. If you want strip mall food that's what you can expect.

The oil was old, so my chicken fried steak was disgusting. My husband's burger was mediocre. It just isn't a place I'm going to be going back to again. read more

Nicely hospitable family friendly restaurant with smiling staff. I had the chicken fried steak dinner and it hit the spot. Crispy chicken with delicious gravy. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

If you're in Layton and looking for something good, fresh and quick, look no further. The fish and chips were the way I like them, slightly battered, crispy on the outside and moist and tender inside, awesome. Had the yogurt smoothie and it was fantastic and the chocolate chip cookie was really good. They give you a taste of their beer bread and sweet butter on the side, too. The place has a really clean, modern look, with free fast wifi and was showing Monday Night Football on the flat screen. Will definitely come back again. read more

Club is great, Reubens are tasty, fries are good and the fry sauce is classic. Cookies are good. Friendly staff. Menu is simple but it's all stuff I really like so it's everything I would want in a little sandwich joint. read more

This place is great! In addition to excellent sandwiches they also have really good cookies and specialty drinks (similar to what you would find at "Fizz" and "Swig". I also really like the beer bread and the honey butter. read more

American food. Had the Chicken fried steak and gravy. Yummy. One of us had the pastrami burger a-ok. Also the portabello burger and it was good but the sauce was not very good. But the winner meal was Chicken Alfredo. Best ever! read more

I gotta give these guys 5 stars for a great lunch. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich with the sweet potato fries. Outstanding. Reasonable price. They make amazing sodas too. The server made me a rage cream soda that tasted like a creamcicle. It was amazing. Was it small place with a cozy decor but its modern current and clean. Food is not really that gourmet but thats not what i came in here for. It was sandwiches, salads and friendly staff. So 5 stars for doing exactly what they promised to do at the price points. read more

They are so consistent! I get the chicken pasta salad and every time it is so incredible. Quick service, great food, great bread! Customer for life! read more

Loved this place. Great service and even tweeted the menu to add horseradish to my Reuben. The sweet potato fries are delicious. Also I highly recommend the Italian Creme Sodas with purée. The BBQ pork was great. Kids menu fish n chips was a good size. My only negative was price. It is worth it. I just wasn't expecting the fries as add on. read more

Always friendly with prompt service! Tried the BBQ sandwich today and it was fantastic!! Always love the sweet potato fries too. Toffee was yummy too read more

We stopped by tonight and had the Prime Rib sandwich with shoestring fries and the Roasted Turkey and Avocado sandwich. Both were so yummy and so fresh. I'm picky about how my bread is toasted, and it was perfect. I love both sandwiches at all the Hug Hes locations, but for some reason the sandwiches taste exceptionally good here! Also, the two girls working were super friendly, got our food out quick, offered to clear our baskets, and made my dirty Diet Coke perfectly. We left super happy! read more

The appearance is great. Sweets look enticing. The food... only had one sandwich, but it was tasty. Buffalo ranch chicken didn't change my life but was 4 stars good. read more

Hugs by Hug-Hes is amazing, were already a huge fan of hug-hes cafe. We love the comfort style version of their restaurants! Cookies are amazing and food always tastes great! We love Hugs and highly recommend ! read more

The staff did not seem pretty friendly, my boyfriend and I walked in and not a word was said to us until we actually went up to the cash register (which was there feet from where we were deciding what exactly two get). We ordered takeout, but the food was rather disappointing. I got the fettuccine alfredo and my boyfriend tried the French dip, and we got some fried mushrooms to share. The alfredo was okay, maybe a little bit bland, and the chicken should have been in smaller pieces instead of long strips. My alfredo was suppose to come with a salad, but once we got home realized it wasn't there. The French dip sandwich was okay, but the actual dip was too salty. I thought the best thing was the mushrooms. The food came with some bread and strawberry cream mix which was okay, it was just a bit too sweet for me. I'll probably give other locations a try, but won't be coming back. read more

I've eaten at a lot of places in Davis County and this has become an instant favorite. Great simple food and great treats. It's a must go if you like cafe food. read more

Today was my first visit to this Hug-Hes location. I called my order in and was able to go to the drive thru to pick up, which was very fast and convenient. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich, a side of pasta salad - which came with beer bread and spread, and a sugar cookie. All of it was delicious and portions were great. Keep in mind, this location does not have all the menu items that Ogden or Syracuse do. I tried ordering a couple menu items from their website, only to find that they do not offer those here. That is the reason for my deduction of a star. They should be more clear on their website/menu. But no doubt about it, I will be back. read more

I loved the Turkey Club Sandwich. The sugar cookie was so good. I'd say better than other places! I will for sure be back!

Well I'm now eating my words. I once left a review that talked down on the service I got over the phone of Hugs Cafe. I have decided to change my mind about this little piece of heaven. I recently took my wife there for lunch and the staff was amazing that day. One of the supervisors was very helpful making sure I was taken care of and that my food was top notch. Although after seeing how every customer that came in after us were treated I can tell I was no exception. This place is now my favorite. The price is perfect the options are just enough. I apologize for my past review and 100% recommend this as a must have. If your not eating at this place then your missing out. read more

I'm a regular. The group at Hugs are part of the reason I come by each week. Thanks for always making my Cobb salad perfectly ;)

I really don't understand why this place gets such high ratings. I am not sure if it is a Utah thing or not. They have you tip before serving you. As far as I saw the waitress was not only messing up our order but other tables as well. I really thought Maid Rite was much better and wished it would have stayed but, this Hughes has taken it's place. The salad was pretty good and the cookies were ok. Way too much frosting for my taste. The chocolate chip cookies are decent. For fast food it has healthier options and good servings. The staff lacked. I would be willing to try it again though, maybe she just had a bad day. read more

Pasta salad supreme is amazing! I get extra yummy vinaigrette dressing. A must try!

This shop is suppose to be an extension of the other larger Hug-Hes restaurants in Syracuse and Ogden. I always order the smoked chicken pasta salad when I go to the other two spots, but here at the Layton store, the dressing is NOT the same, if fact, it has no flavor at all! When I placed my order, I told the gal that my friends had complained about the dressing when they had been there. She told to make sure that I shake it really well. Well, that didn't work. My friend told me that they have mentioned the problem to the Ogden store, but nothing has been done to fix the problem. Until then, don't order the pasta salad! read more

Oh man! I ate here when I was staying with my grandparents. My grandma suggested that we go here and It was great! My grandpa and I both ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and it was amazing! The best chicken fried steak I've ever had! I also had to order my daily Dew there and it was perfectly mixed! read more
