Patty Shack absolutely delivered in every way. The burgers are incredible, juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. I went with the "everything on it" burger like they recommended, and honestly, that's the move. Don't overthink it, just get it that way, you won't be disappointed. The fries deserve their own shoutout too. Easily the best I've had in years: crispy on the outside, soft inside, and seasoned perfectly. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Super friendly, welcoming, and you can tell it's a true mom-and-pop spot that actually cares about what they're serving. Food was amazing across the board. If you're thinking about it just go. Support your local burger joint and treat yourself. read more

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. read more

I came in to salt lake for work. Patty Shack was mentioned as a good burger place and it's somewhat off the beaten path. The restaurant is a classic dive with excellent customer service and perfectly cooked cheeseburgers and crispy fries! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a unique dining experience! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Patty Shack - Outside front - American Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

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. read more

Ok, here's the deal. Food 1000% amazing and it's basically a greasy spoon. It smells like good old grilled and fried food in this LITTLE old house turned burger place. The front door can stick a little and there is not a TON of parking. It has indoor seating (about 12 boothes I think) one unisex bathroom. When we have gone the bathroom isn't sparkling (too busy making amazing food, I guess). They have some sticker books for kids to play in while waiting. We think it's worth the drive if you're within 30 min drive or in the area. read more

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 read more

Patty Shack - Pastrami Cheeseburger with Fries - American Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

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! read more

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 ! read more

Patty Shack - Pastrami burger with bacon and fried egg - American Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

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. read more

Exactly what you want when craving a no frills burger and fries. Ambiance: Looks to be what use to a be house, plenty of seating and space. Service: You order at the front and then they bring the food to you. Quicky and friendly. Food: Got the cheeseburger w/ fries. Toppings included ketchup, grilled onions, lettuce, and pickles. The cheese burger was delicious and is exactly what you want when looking for a simple burger. The fries were definitely the highlight though with crispy outsides and soft inside. Perfect fries. Overall, great, low-key place when looking for a burger. Will definitely be back! read more

Excellent burger shack. Very classic burgers - so yummy! Excellent fries!!!!! Get the pastrami burger. Initially, we ordered bacon cheese burger which was excellent. Then we saw the pastrami burger - and HAD to order that too. If you are debating between bacon cheese burger vs pastrami, get the pastrami. They fry the pastrami perfectly with a little crisp to it. We will be back as it is close to the Jordan River Parkway trail. Nice pit stop! read more

They absolutely nail it. Burgers are a 10. Fries are really good. The Patty daddy is a monster burger. Def must try

Best burgers in Utah! The place is a little restaurant and inside is giving me nostalgic vibes. The employees are kind and friendly. The burgers looked good and the fries were Devine! I'll recommend getting burgers with family or friends! read more

Im from the deep South & let me just say...this is the place you drive 30 min in the wrong direction for; finding it off the side of a country road & the inside feels like a bit of home. The food is made right there in front of you, tasting like it was made at your grandmamas house with a bit of love. the ranch is homemade- something that's hard to find made right out here. Priced very fair! $10-12 for a meal. Keep it up yall, southern approved! read more

I searched Burger and Shake near me and Patty Shack was near the top. Menu is not easy to pull up so when I drive here i learn they don't serve Milk Shakes. I wanted the shake more then the burger. Either Yelp or Patty Shake should fix this. Burger was great. read more

Really good hole in the wall spot for burgers and fries. I ordered the bacon cheese burger with grilled onions, mayo, catchup, lettuce and it was really good. The bacon was a little more crunchy than I prefer but still good. Fries were nice and crispy, which I do prefer. My wife ordered the BLT. It's what it sounds like but on a hamburger bun. My wife usually doesn't like crunchy bacon either but said it worked here. I would have liked it a little warmer. Owner/cook/cashier/server, Tyler, was very friendly and did a great job. We were in a bit of a hurry and even solo got us out quickly. read more

Oooh this is a little hole in the wall! Im surprised I've never heard of it before! Their burgers were delicious. They had a variety of toppings you can add to your burger! I liked the big selection that they had. I got a bacon cheeseburger burger and added almost everything! It does take a bit to make the burgers but it's worth the wait. Staff is friendly and give good recommendations. Overall I would eat here again. read more

Great burgers and fries. The tables weren't clean and had to seek for a clean table. I'd only do take out for this restaurant

I came here last week in between my son's baseball games. I got the cheeseburger and fries. It's a small place, kind of a hole in the wall. I was pleasantly surprised with the food and the quick and efficient service. My son had another baseball game at vista park, so guess where I had to come eat? Lol read more

Had issues tonight. First time ever and honestly shocked. Missing items from order Ranch dumped out in the bag ( that I paid extra for) Do not like the flimsy paper fry bags now vs the cups that allowed the fry's to stay crunchy No fry sauce with order ( a free item) Loyal customer but totally disappointed tonight. read more

What a great place. Delicious fresh made burgers and fries, friendly service, old school burger shack. Will absolutely be back.

Discovered this place last month and now all other burgers pale in comparison. Anytime I eat a burger or fries now I find myself thinking, "it's no Patty Shack." The burger is so flavorful and they cook their bacon to perfection. The fries are the most phenomenal fries I've ever had- I now don't care or feel sad that I missed out on the pre-90s McDonalds tallow fries everyone talks about because I'm convinced nothing could be better than these. We've never stayed to eat, just order takeout, but it's worth the 20 min drive for us any day of the week. Service is always exceptionally friendly, and although it's slightly embarrassing they recognize my name on the takeout order, nothing will keep me away. Please never change, Patty Shack! read more

Super disappointed in this place. The food was great, but I had a problem and emailed the management. They emailed me back to give them more information which I did and they never responded. I send a follow up email to make sure they got the email and nothing. Even though the food was great, and the price was pretty good, I will never go back there and have told others about my experience. Update on my review. Management emailed me back as soon as they got my email and has been amazing and will look into the situation. Thank you for being such a great leader and owner. read more

Tastest Burger in town! I know. I love burgers so much I asked my kin to serve burgers at my funeral because I know I will miss them above all other tasteful delights. Nothing fancy, just busting with toppings, flavorful meat patty with that smoked grilled taste. And the taste delight doesn't stop there. The french fries are crispy and delicious as well. They're only lacking is that Rootbeer lovers have to BYO because it's not offered as a soft drink. My solution, bring it home to pair with a Root Beer float, and you have..."Hamburger Heaven " read more

Patty Shack - Single Patty with the works, comes with fries, delicious fry sauce too. - American Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

You would drive past this place, thinking it's gone out of business- if there wasn't any cars Parker in front. It's like the other reviews of how it looks like it belongs in some small country town. Not modern brick & mortar restaurant. But!! Plenty of inside seating( for 50 people) coke products.. and at typical times- it can get busy FAST and stay busy.. The burgers are pretty good, the thick steak fries are typical but hot!! I opted for a double cheese burger and fries.. it takes from placing your order till served to your table.. is 15 mins on avg. The Fries are good, but you don't get a lot.. so if you like good fries.. may ask for an extra portion. The burger in size like a typical cheese burger at say McD.. little smaller than INO burger.. but The Bun steals the show.. So good!! I'd say I'd come back just because I could see this as some place to come and have a solid meal... from time to time... read more

Patty Shack - Dbl cheeseburger and fries - American Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

Last night all I wanted was a greasy burger and fries and I wanted it quickly. I've been wanting to check out Patty Shack for a while now and was excited to come here and see what the hype was about! It's an old school interior and vibe with a simple menu. You order at the counter and can sit down in their dining room area. They unfortunately don't have a veggie burger on their menu, but they do have a regular grilled cheese option and a Maddie Veggie Melt, which is an elevated grilled cheese option with caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. It comes on a buttered/grilled bun and was really delicious and just what I wanted and needed, even though there wasn't a veggie burger option. I didn't get a photo of the fries because, let's be honest, they were gone in 30 seconds because they were so delicious. Perfectly cooked and crispy and they come with fry sauce. The staff was super friendly and the food came out quickly. Excited to come back here! read more
