    We've been here 10+ times and the food is excellent as always but wow idk if this is the new normal but the doors were propped open with screens so it was 95 degrees outside 100 inside with a million flies. I just can't bring myself to eat a greasy cheeseburger in those conditions

    Last stop on our way out of Utah and it did not disappoint! This burger was juicy and flavorful. The ambiance is giving a classic burger vibe; the name of the place is so fitting. The fries were yummy too which was a nice bonus. Service was also great, not too busy, and we got our food pretty quickly.

    Amazing burgers in a hole of a restaurant filled with greasy smoke! The old time feel of the place is nostalgic with simple menus and good food. I wish we had taken our food to go, but we were hungry!

    When we opened the front door and walked in to Patty Shack, we were greeted by a significant wafting cloud of grill smoke that led us to the kitchen in the back. This place serves burgers, BLTs and grilled cheeses with lots of customizable toppings to choose from. Burger sizes range from single, double, and triple patties. Piping hot fries. At the register, there's a straightforward glowing yellow menu to order from. You can't miss it. Our burger patties were made fresh, not pre-formed/frozen - I appreciated that they started cooking 'em on the flat top right as soon as we placed our order. They have fountain drinks and ice maker. We opted for water, which tasted a little funky. :-/ Our cheeseburgers were quite flavorful and juicy, and both came with a side of fries (single-patty pastrami $12, bacon $12). The food arrived to our table piping hot and delicious. Burgers wrapped in foil, served on 4" potato buns. Great texture, nice bite. The hot fries had a pleasant crispness to them, nice saltiness, and were accompanied by a small chilled fry sauce.. Tasty. Patty Shack is a greasy hole-in-the-wall, with dim lighting, dusty footprint tracked linoleum floors, and wood walls reminiscent of decades past. So come as you are! :) Outside there's a parking lot wrapped around the place, along with some outdoor seating. I read reviews where others have favorably compared Patty Shack to a certain customizable burger chain. Not exact...but kinda close, I guess... If I had to compare, Patty Shack is the greasy spoon "neighborhood dive" version of 5G, with fewer options.

    This is the real definition of a back water dive. While not a bar it is in a neighborhood. You would not expect to see. It is in a run down house with an old truck in the front. It looks like they tried to fix it up at one point but it has seen better days. With that the food was pretty good. I would compare it to a 5 guys burger in taste without the huge price. They don't use premade patties. The fries are really good as well. If you want something different but good give them a try.

    The food was good. There was no air conditioning so it was very hot inside. The young colored lady who took our order was not friendly. No smile . Very little greeting. When I didn't include a tip, it was obvious she was upset. Kind of like she's entitled to a tip for a takeout with poor service. The triple burgers and fries were great, which is what the 3 stars are for. I'm not sure why they had no AC going so people could sit inside. This could have been a good all around experience, but due to the points above it was a bad experience for us.

    Pastrami Cheeseburger with Fries

    Patty Shack Heard pastrami burgers and fry sauce were an Utah staple, so I had to try it, and Patty Shack did not disappoint. I got the pastrami cheeseburger (with everything) & fries meal, and for $12 it was super filling and flavorful. The fry sauce was a great compliment to the fries, and the burger was made fresh and juicy. This shouldn't have came as a surprise as their wall was filled with awards they've gotten for their burgers. A tasty break from the usual burger chains

    I took my daughter here after a day up a Brighton skiing and snowboarding. We love a greasy meal after burning over 1000 calories riding. This place hit the spot. It's tucked away in the middle of a neighborhood in Murray and when you walk in, it's a complete dive, wood plank walls and floors, smoke from the flattop hits you. But damn the food is good. I got the daddy patty, but with two instead of three patties. This thing is piled high with bacon and pastrami. Every burger is to order, you choose all your toppings and condiments. We got fries and they're fries are so good, they're battered do that extra crunch and flavor. And of course they have to have fry sauce. The logo is modern and doesn't fit the building and vibe but I could care less about that. Give me another daddy patty burger now!

    Patty shack is exactly what you think of when you think a little hole in the wall burger place! It's small and they don't even have a number system for your order. They just remember who ordered what and brought it out. The burger was great! I would compare it to a local five guys burger. The fries are fried in beef tallow and to the perfect brown crispy crunch !

    gotta love that burger flipper behind the Coke sign
    Dan R.

    I loved this place so much that I came here two days in a row and brought a friend the second time. It is such a little jewel that many will drive by and never stop at. Unfortunately, that is their loss, and it keeps it a special spot for the rest of us because we can get in and out with a hidden treat. The folks behind the counter are friendly and have big smiles. Ordering is easy, and you can have the burger your way. Once your order is placed, you go get your drink. A welcoming sign is hanging there, letting you know the refills are free. They bring your burger out to you, and the fun begins. The burger is hot off the grill, the cheese is melted to perfection, and that first taste is oh-so-good. It's hot and juicy, and the beef is top-notch when it comes to flavor. Get out of the traditional fast-food burger chains and head to this joint. You will be glad you did.

    Is it gluten free?

    No. They have fries but I don't think they have their own fryer. I can't remember if they fries anything but fries because we have only purchased hamburgers. I usually eat gluten-free but when I come here I take a digestive enzyme (not celiac over…

    I can sum this review up in five words: THE best country fried steak…read more As a breakfast food lover, I can honestly say this is the best CFS I've had. Crunchy on the outside but tender on the inside. You can tell this chopped steak isn't frozen. Add that to a great diner run by great people, and it's a great visit overall. I highly recommend it.

    The Food: Me and my 30 friends (We're a dinner group) set out each week to try new places, and…read moresocialize. So I think in talking to most of my friends I got a good view on the food, and presentation. I had a starter of Totchos, and the Beef Dipper for my entrée. Both were excellent, I shared my Totchos. These are tater tot nachos, they were excellent, normally I don't like cheese sauce on Nachos, but given the consistency and flavor of this sauce (house made, I'm guessing. Not canned) They were excellent. The Beef Dipper and Au Jus, also top notch! Generally in a French dip, there is a lot of fatty pieces, this was not that. Also at my table was the Chile Verde bowl, this one has a kick... but my friend having it really enjoyed it. The fish and chips was great, smelled fresh. Lets talk about the sides. Choice of Fries (appeared to be battered fries, always a favorite of mine.) Tots, or house made potato chips. I had the Potato Chips with mine, these were excellent, crisp and tender on the inside. The Athena (Lamb Burger) got rave reviews from one at the table The Service: Because we were in a large group they advised us they were going to be taking our orders as we came in so not to overwhelm the kitchen staff. Excellent communication throughout service given that we were a large group. I talked to one of the Owners, Laurie, I could tell she had a huge sense of pride in the place. Very friendly! The Restaurant: Great atmosphere, Fun artwork, best of all, VERY Clean, nothing sticky or no grease buildup on any surface. The glass ware on the wall behind the bar as all polished. In the bar area they stack their silver, tableware, condiments etc. in a cute little cozy box on the table, with the main dining area setup as a diner with the traditional paper napkin and silverware. For a diner motif to have shined silver and glassware is a nice touch! Summary: Eat here! The prices are reasonable, the food is excellent, when I looked at the menu online I was a little put off by no actual entrée's on the dinner menu, however the in house experience made up for that, it's a pub food vibe and they are doing it well!

However, additional details create a loving connection - its off-Broadway central location, the copper-paneled ceiling that mimics warm conversations in varied spaces (cocktail, chef's counter, expandable tables for groups, and outdoor), fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with service to match. It's the place where I had my first glass of Turley Zinfandel (education alongside), and the place I will always return for my favorite Wagyu Beef Stroganoff (a comfort from home, but upscale). This one delivered with large, firm, expertly seasoned portobello & forest mushrooms over wide, freshly handmade pappardelle pasta that soaks up rich beef stock (a touch of black pepper) blended with crème fraîche. A generous portion of wagyu is tender and rich. PRO TIP: Mix then let it sit & marinade a minute - flavor pays in dividends. For dessert, a Valhrona Chocolate Pudding topped with whip cream and Maldon flake salt - exquisite, but expensive. The texture is comforting and delicious - olive oil adds a lingering finish with slight fruit.

    Host name is Carleigh…read more We had a reservation for 8:00 PM and arrived around 7:50 PM. When we checked in, the host, Carleigh, immediately told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait. I informed her that we had a reservation under my name, John, but she simply looked at her list, seemed annoyed, and told us to wait anyway. While we were waiting, we watched several parties of two arrive after us with reservations at 8:10, 8:15, and even 8:20, and they were seated before us. After waiting about 20 minutes, I went back to ask how much longer it would be. I was told it would be another 20 minutes. I reminded Carleigh that we had a reservation, and her response was, "Oh, you did?" She then asked for my full name and phone number, looked up the reservation, apologized, and immediately escorted us to a table that appeared to have been ready the entire time. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing. Reservations are made so guests don't have to wait behind people who arrive later. It felt like our reservation had been completely ignored until I spoke up a second time. Whether this was poor organization or a lack of attention, the level of service at the front desk was unacceptable. We came looking forward to a nice family dinner, but the experience started with unnecessary frustration and left a very poor first impression. I sincerely hope additional training is provided so this doesn't happen to other guests.
