Leatherby's family creamery is a favorite! They have the biggest most extra ice cream creations. There was also a time we went here one a week. The food is alright nothing too special and I wouldn't go just for the food but the ice cream hits the spot. I always ask for a side of peanut butter or caramel sauce. They dump little bits over your ice cream. read more

Ok, I don't know how many locations in SLC Leatherby's has (there are only 2 listed on their website), but I have yet to have a negative experience at all three that I've visited (Taylorvile, Draper and Midvale). We decided to take our twin daughters to have an afternoon snack after arriving in SLC after a two week camper van (RV) adventure to Glacier, Boise, Shoshone, and Yellowstone national parks. On a hot summer day, ice cream was definitely on the "must have" snack list, and Leatherby's was our first (and only) choice. Please refer to my two other Leatherby's reviews and you can simply copy and paste my opinion of their ice cream creations. This particular location has the added Mexican food option on their menu (tamales and ice cream seem an odd combo to me, but, hey, it seems to work here). This location, also, has absolutely NO PARKING - except the few street spots that you may come upon if you're lucky. Sadly, minus one star for being a pain to park. The staff were super fantastic, attentive, friendly and generally excellent. Small (but cozy) shop. The location, however, seemingly dictates the severe space limitation. Almost empty when we were there, but that might be because we visited quite early (about 4p or so). The ice cream scoop sizes were ENORMOUS!!! I might avoid this location after dark, but otherwise if you're early you'll have the whole joint to yourself. read more

Leatherby's Family Creamery - Me wishing they made ice creams this big! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Midvale, Utah

What can I say the ice cream is always amazing and fully hits the spot if you have a sweet tooth. The food is also great as well. I was given the incorrect food order but it was an honest error that they fixed right away. The atmosphere here is warming and inviting for the whole family. read more

Tamales? Really? At Leatherbys? Yes, really. Mexican food may not be the first thing you think of when you think of Leatherby's, but I'm here to tell you that the fine folks at this location make a mean tamale. After several visits I find myself really digging their style. They've got pork, chicken, green chicken, beef, mole, and probably another kind or two that I'm forgetting about. Get the green chicken if you're only having one. It's got a kick to it, but you'll appreciate the extra spice among the corny goodness. That said, don't just get one. You can order a whole dozen and get a few ready-to-eat and the others frozen. Try them all! I haven't tried any of the other Mexican food on the menu. They've got tacos and tostadas, and probably a few other things I can't remember right now. Back to the creamery part. The ice cream here is pretty simple. Most just come in for a scoop and there are several flaves to choose from. You can get a little fancier. Last time in I saw the Golden Nugget which was a wafflecone bowl with ice cream and nutty goodness. I'm intrigued enough to try it. Sundaes too. There's not much to the place. A simple counter and a few tables inside. It's charming enough. Park on the street out front. Make it a post-meal dessert stop, or enjoy any of the Mexican food there and make it an epic epicurean journey by adding dessert. read more

Leatherby's Family Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I feel like my taste buds are broken from the other reviews... We got the Rocky Road with Carmel, the Brownie Sundae, and the Black and Tan. I swear everything tasted like pure sugar. No flavor. The carmel sauce was thick and pale and very grainy. The hot fudge was sugar with a hint of chocolate and the same for the chocolate sauce. The ice cream itself was ok. Like a low quality store brand. We threw it away after about 6 bites of each. Bummer and Money waisted. read more

Nice little location of Leatherby's. I didn't realize before arriving that it was a the hobbit version of the Family dine-in store I'm so used to. It is definitely set up as a to-go store. They serve all their ice cream in to-go containers anticipating your quick getaway. I actually prefer the original sit-down store feel but this is a nice way to spread their fantastic ice cream without as big of a store. Don't expect a lot of seating room or the usual atmosphere you'd get at a typical or original Leatherby's restaurant and their menu options are much fewer. But you can expect the same quality of ice cream and that's good. read more

Good icecream but not amazing food. The food is enough to satisfy your need for something with your icecream but I won't be coming here for dinner anytime soon. However I am not judging them on their food but rather their treats. They have solid icecream that won't break the bank. I'd recommend for a treat read more

I've driven past the "Mexican Leatherbys" many times, but it always looked like it was closed (either for the day or permanently). But at the urging of some other Yelp friends, I gave the tamale and ice cream joint a try. The tamales were surprisingly good - fresh, a wide variety of flavors, and all under $2. The ice cream flavors are the same as the original Taylorsville location, but much less expensive. My "Gretchen's Golden Nugget" sundae was only $3.85 (about half of the Taylorsville location price) The ambiance isn't terribly family-friendly. The interior is cramped with wobbly tables and chairs. I can see myself getting tamales to go for a party or family dinner. It's a part of town I don't venture into alone at night, so bring your friends when you visit Mexi-Leatherbys. read more

Leatherby's Family Creamery - The Golden Nugget - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Midvale, Utah

We had a banana split and there was way more ice cream than what two guys can handle lol. Toasted almonds is amazing!

The store front still pays homage to the unique feel that is old Midvale city center near 7800 and 700 west. Very brick and mortar, mom and pop shop type feel. Then upon entering that same idea continues with the simple yet delicious offerings they have on their menu. They offer two subjects: classic ice cream selections from leatherbys (which include hot fudge brownie sundaes, black and white shake set ups, banana splits, basically nothing to go wrong with) And flavorfully prepared latino street cuisine. (Which include tortas, tamales, quesadillas, and street tacos!) Yes it's a bizarre combination but the quality of the products speak for themselves. The service is friendly, the environment relaxed. Really..... What more are you looking for in a small town taqueria ice cream shop. Get in the doors now folks. read more

I came to this ice cream place on a Saturday evening, and it was a really big place and it was absolutely packed! This place is definitely family friendly, and a lot of people seem to use this as a place to catch up and hang out with their family and friends. I got the chocolate peanut butter ice cream, and my friends got the mint chocolate chip and the butter pecan. The peanut butter was by far my favorite and it was very chocolately and I liked the peanut butter cups. However, I felt that the ice cream could have been a little creamier, and there were some icy parts of the ice cream, as if it had been partially thawed and then refrozen. The butter pecan was pretty good, and I didn't like the mint chocolate chip at all. The portion sizes are HUGE! You get SO MUCH ice cream in the small. This is a pretty good ice cream cone, and a good place to take kids/groups/family. read more

The cheese fries are pretty good and the sauce very creamy. Ice cream comes in large portions, check this before ordering. Only a few ice crystals in the Brunt Almond Fudge. The decor lacks sparkle, could use a good scrub down and it took a bit to get the employees attention. Small establishment. Needs some upgrades in style and service. Thanks. read more

I love Leatherby's ice-cream but always struggle with this particular location. The food and service are excellent but the shop is very small with extremely limited seating and parking can be very tricky. If I'm craving their ice-cream and can't make it to the Draper location this is perfect for to go orders. read more

Did you know there's a place where you can get gigantic scoops of delicious ice cream AND authentic Mexican food? The Leatherby's in Midvale answers all of your hot and spicy AND smooth and creamy cravings in one cute little shop. I went there with some friends recently. We went JUST for the food and shared a few of the delicious tamales and a chicken quesadilla. The chicken was a little 'suspect', and I'm picky about my bird, so the quesadilla wasn't my favorite. But I've had the tamales a few times and am never disappointed. They are cheap, but they are even cheaper if you buy them by the dozen. They serve them cooked or frozen so hey, eat 6 now and take 6 home for later! The shop is right on what was, what could be, and what hopefully will be again, a cute little downtown area. It's not the most beautifully decorated, or the most spacious (just a few small tables) but it has character. Of course the ice cream is good. And the caramel sauce. Hurray for caramel sauce....wow, thinking about it is making me hungry. Maybe I'd better go an' get me some!! read more

Not what I was expecting. The Taylorsville location couldn't be more different from this location. The only similarity is the ice... nothing. Almost nothing. This is not the Leatherby's I know and... kind of like. The people working here are nice enough, but it feels like a location Leatherby's decided to abandon. I ordered a chocolate, peanut butter and banana shake. It was a huge portion and it was ok. read more

The good. -my favorite ice cream. Get the banana split. -This place has never been busy. -The people are nice. The bad. -The location can be a bit shady at times. Bad neighborhood. The truth. I'll admit. This place is a secret. No lines, good service and fair prices. This location is my go to when I'm after a treat. read more

The tacos are great although the portions could be a little bigger and the tamales are fantastic. Love the mole and also the green. If you have kids they might like the sweet pineapple tamales as well. It's the most authentic Mexican I know of besides a taco stand in the salt lake area, plus there's ice cream. read more

Leatherby's Family Creamery - Tacos Al Pastor - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Midvale, Utah

My siblings and I always go here after a play or movie. The best ice cream in all of Utah. The flavors are unique, the ice cream is rich and creamy. The food here is really good as well. Alan's Black and tan, Almond Joy, It always seems busy with family's and high schoolers. Will definitely be back here. read more

Simply yummy! With ice cream and Mexican food in one shop. What more could one ask for? Y'all should try the horcata flavored ice cream. I can't wait to back and have a ice cream social. read more

Oh wow!! This caramel was fantastic. I got the banana split with cherry chocolate ice cream, cookies and cream and vanilla with the caramel sauce. When I finished my dessert, I dipped my fries in the sauce and it was so good! I would absolutely come again and get any of the ice cream desserts! read more

Tiny store , a hidden treasure. They make and bottle caramel topping on site. They also have homemade Mexican food made on site. Yeah this is really a hidden gem be sure to try their black and tan or black and white ice cream Sundays. While you're there you might want to take home some homemade tamales. Prices are affordable $. Took a hot fudge sundae home from there last night. Yummy read more

Always friendly service and delicious ice cream! Sad they don't have tamales anymore though

THE PLACE TO BE FOR ICE CREAM. The fat kid inside (and outside) me craves this place. The serving sizes are large enough to serve at least 2 people depending on how big of an ice cream lover you are. My wife and I always get the chocolate brownie sundae and it is plenty for us to share. Love this place, go check it out read more

Good Ice cream.... And Mexican. Odd but good. the ice cream is decent. there were a lot of people there eating the Mexican food so it must be decent too. the ice cream was decent. not bad but not great either. read more

Great authentic Mexican food combined with my favorite ice cream franchise. The al pastor tacos are really good and the red salsa is one of the few good red salsa's in the valley. The jalapeño & cheese tamales are exceptional. The only down side is the ice cream options. They have everything needed for the Black & Tan, which is my favorite, but they may lack other flavors and combinations. read more

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. You quit selling tacos and quesadillas. I was a regular customer just coming in for those and now you are not. Lost a customer. read more

Okay, I did not come here for mexican food, thought I'm sure it's wonderful. I came for ice-cream. Old-fashioned scoop ice-cream that is the bloody flavor you want and you leave it alone. No cramming gummie-bears or sprinkles in there. You want mint-chocolate chip you order mint chocolate-chip. The ice-cream is good. Very good. But don't order ice-cream. You will order the hot-fudge sundae. The hot fudge is so freaking good. And it's just a nice place. Nice people, small, old-school business. Not a lot of flash or dazzle. They put it into the ice-cream. read more

Leatherbys is fantastic. The only place that I can think of where you can experience a traditional ice cream parlor. The flavors are amazing, the toppings are great too, some of the creations are so over the top that they're just amazing. Love this place, highly recommend read more

The ice cream was pretty good, but the fries were crusty as f~ck and the "restaurant" is pretty small.

Great ice cream. Fun little family atmosphere. Banana split is my weakness... Every time but they have fantastic other options. I'm just a romantic and think banana splits are too cute. read more

Literally the only thing within a mile walking distance that was open on a Friday night. The nearby Mexican place was rented out for a family party and I wasn't looking to test my chances on a food cart, so Leatherby's was our only choice. The service was very friendly, food was better than expected considering it's basically an ice cream shop. Be warned: if you order something with cheese, it will be smothered in cheese. read more

Es muy bueno. A bit confusing and nothing like other locations, but a great taco stand and delicious Leatherby's ice cream combined into one entity of tastiness. No parking, but the amazing Almond Joy ice cream makes up for that. read more
