Leslie was so welcoming and showed the best hospitality to my friends and I after a long day on the lake. The Star burger is to die for and highly recommend! read more

Once again, it was like coming home from a long time being away. The beer was ice cold and star burger the best.

A great experience. Food is really good, atmosphere is very good, history of bar is terrific. I've driven there from Salt Lake City and have never been disappointed. read more

Awesome little cash only dive bar. If you are in the area it is for sure worth a visit. The bartender and staff were very friendly. My buddies had some burgers and said they were good. The food menu is small, but it's a dive bar not a restaurant. Their beer selection is pretty good too. Tap wise it's small but they have a good selection of bottles. read more

Shooting Star Saloon - Shiner Bock in Utah, - Burgers Near Me - Huntsville, Utah

So, we took a drive from Oakley just to have lunch here and it was worth it! First the place is the oldest bar in Utah so right there it is monument of sorts, worth seeing as an homage to drinking. The atmosphere is just terrific. Old, funky and just fun. Some locals were playing pool and the waitress treated us like we were in that same category. Onto the food - they server two mains, burgers and hot dogs. We both went with the burgers. Cooked perfectly and we savored every bite. The wife went with a double cheeseburger with bacon and I went with the classic Star burger - two patties and a krautwurst. Notably my wife doesn't like bacon all that much but she ate every single bite of the double burger and did not even give me wee bit of bacon. Chips were chips, just fine. It is a cash only (and Venmo) and they even have an ATM, just in case. Have not seen one of those outside of Vegas in years. Can't say enough good things about stopping in to grab a burger or dog, soak up the atmosphere and just relax for it. Comprehensive beer menu but we did not partake that day. read more

About 15 miles from Ogden in Huntsville UT (if it took you 55 hours to get there, you might be in Alabama) is an amazing old Saloon with so much character, and absolutely some of the best burgers you will ever have. I had the Star Burger, their signature offering and it lived up to expectations--- no question. With two juicy patties and a Knackwurst sausage in-between with grilled onion and melted cheese, what's not to love? This was a simple thing done SO well...I was thinking about this burger all the way back home and for days after. In fact, I'm almost tasting it while I'm writing this and can hardly wait to come back. 10/10 (and maybe more just for sheer character). Not sure if you'll see the house dog but so so so cute and trust me, I would have had a dining partner if it were up to the pup. I don't suggest straying too far from your burger if you make the acquaintance. Haha! Run by an all female team in the kitchen and at the bar (at least when I was there), great warm and friendly service and I can hardly wait to return and take others. Thanks Shooting Star!! read more

food was average and the worker wouldn't take special orders for example no pickles or sauce.

Food: Of course, the Star Burger is a must. Two huge meat patties and a hot dog. They serve everything with Lay's potato chips. It is delicious. Service: If you have not had the experience of eating here you may get confused. You need to order at the bar. They do bring the food to your table. If you choose to clean off your table, you can. It's not required. They get very busy, so the service is outstanding, all things considered. Ambiance: This place is nostalgic and fun. They have dollars stapled to the ceiling. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. Choose your own music using the old jut box. It's fun and gets the entire place up to play the songs they love. Note: You must be 21. read more

Shooting Star Saloon - Burgers Near Me - Huntsville, Utah

I've been here 3-6 times per year for the past six years. It's seen better days. There's only 2 things on the menu: burgers and hot dogs. The burgers used to be really good, but the past two times I'd come here, they were massively over-salted, and also overcooked. Nearly inedible. There is no music in the place. Just a jukebox that is only sometimes used, and the songs are very old and played super quiet. They serve only beer & wine (no spirits). The past few years, I've seen fewer and fewer customers, even on a Friday evening at dinner time. There used to be a bit of a positive energy, but not in the past couple of years. The employees these days make a lot of negative comments and are outwardly unwelcoming to outsiders. I've seen it many times. Given that the place promotes itself to tourists, this really is not acceptable. I would recommend hiring a new cook (who can cook) and new staff who are at least moderately welcoming and positive. The place only accepts cash, and charges $3.50 to withdraw $40 from its ATM. I don't understand what they can't accept a credit card and/or ApplePay. A lot of places nowadays accept only digital payments and have eliminated cash. In terms of "ambiance," I've never been a fan of its interior. It's 146 years old and looks it, with freebie beer logo stuff tacked to the walls, and decades old dollar bills hanging from the ceiling. But others probably find it kitschy. One thing going for it: it's the only place to eat after 4 pm in all of Huntsville, Utah--which is a whole other conversation. Lack of competition often leads to a decline in food quality, service and atmosphere. And I think that's what happened when the BBQ joint down the street closed 2 years ago. The town needs some additional eateries, and maybe Shooting Star will realize it needs to improve to survive. read more

Friends brought us to this hidden gem. This place was originally built as a trading post in 1850's and converted to a saloon in 1879. They only accept cash and have a very limited menu but it's worth a trip in to check it out. The crazy decor is amazing. It has dollar bills all over the ceiling. There is a stuffed St Bernard head on the wall along with tons of other animals. read more

Great lil spot near salt lake! We popped in here after a day at Snowbasin and it hit the spot. It's a cash only joint but they do have an ATM inside if you don't carry cash usually. I had the double bacon cheeseburger and some of my friends got the star burger, which had two Pattie's and kielbasa. Beer was cheap and food was good!! read more

The Star Burger was excellent, and HUGE. It's messy so you may need to take a shower afterwards, or at least wash your face!

This is one of our favorite burger places. It is not what you would expect when you walk in the door you are going to want to turn around and leave Don't. This place is great! I think it is the oldest saloon in Utah. They have a very limited menu of burgers and hot dog. No fries or anything else. The shooting star burger is great a hot dog on the burger. The place is small about eight booths and a few tables and of course, the bar. Nice selection of both tap and bottled varieties. Give them a try and you will probably like it. No kids or anyone under 21. Be sure and bring your camera. read more

Shooting Star Saloon - Bacon Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Huntsville, Utah

Bartender was rude when we first walked in. All I wanted was food and made me feel unwelcome.

I used to drop by after a day of skiing and loved the previous owners. The lady was from Sweden and was always a joy to see. Today, it feels like a tourist attraction. The beers are good, the burgers are not as good and it doesn't feel as warm and welcoming as it used to be. It seems understaffed and the staff seem over worked and unhappy to be there. The taxidermized dogs' head stretched over a bear's frame hasn't moved since my first visit in 1983. If you do go, bring some quarters for the jukebox and enjoy your beer for the full experience, cause you probably won't be back again. Food:3/5 Service:2/5 Ambiance 4/5 read more

A small dive bar in Huntsville, UT. Crusty vibe. Only restaurant that was open when we stayed in town. Very limited menu with good hamburgers, just don't ask for any variation to the food. Good beer selection. We'd go back. read more

I have heard many good things about the Shooting Star from many car and motorcycle enthusiasts. This was my first visit. As the rest of my party went inside, I stayed back to get some outside photos. A local patron walking by gave me a quick history lesson about how this is the longest continuously operating bar in Utah going back to the 1930's. He also mentioned that they are the only one with a dog head on the wall. This I had to see. Much to my surprise as I walked through the door there it was looking right back at me. Being a big dog lover I hope there is a sentimental story behind this beautiful stuffed dog head that looks back smiling at everyone that enters and exits the building. The service was fast and friendly. We did have to remind our server about the coffee order, but it did finally make it to the table. The burgers were massive, moist, and delicious. Needless to say we all left full and happy. Highly recommend you take the ride up the canyon if you have never been. If you have been there before, isn't about time you went back? read more

It's a dive bar with delicious burgers and dogs. Lots of bikers enjoy riding here to grab a bite and a cold one. We heard about it from the campground nearby. It was unfortunately too hot to sit on the back patio area. Luckily we were able to grab a table near the bar, and the bartender took good care of us. My love decided to try the Mini Star Burger--a burger and a hot dog together on a bun. It was surprisingly good! I had the Cheeseburger and it was tasty too. The only side available is a bag of Lay's chips that comes with each order. Would definitely go here again. read more

Jane, our server on this stop, was terrific. Attentive, thoughtful, timely, pleasant. I've been been here several times for burgers (excellent) and ambiance (distinctive), but Jane made this the best visit yet. read more

A cash-only smashburger joint with good beer in the little town of Huntsville. Oh, and they have an old school jukebox with old school country music. I think I dumped five bucks worth of quarters into that thing just so I could play Patsy Cline for hours. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the burgers themselves were hot and juicy. The menu is simple enough that it's on the side of the napkin box. This isn't some fancy burger joint, this is a straight-up greaseball smashburger bonanza. If you're in the area, stop in and get a bite. You won't be disappointed. read more

The shooting star - perfect ambiance and food for a mid day burger and beer - the menu is simple -burgers and chips (not English chips, don't be daft!) and a great selection of beers with Coors on tap. Service is prompt, payment is cash. Sit back and soak in nearly 150 years - enjoy your star burger and a food coma! read more

Don't show up here if you want a meal without being harassed by the bartender and others. Came here to have a meal with friends and was made a joke out of. Avoid this place. Many more places that have a friendly staff that actually want you to enjoy your time and spend your money without making you feel like a bad person and don't involve a crappy environment. Would rate a -1 if possible. Go to American legion. 10-10 service. read more

One Star Saloon Historic bar in a cute little town by the reservoir that serves a decent burger. Now that the good is out of the way, I'll focus in on why this is a one star review. I rarely give out one star reviews--so it's safe to say the one star was fully earned. I wish I'd gotten the gals name who was our waitress today, but she's the older gal with the Karen haircut and somewhat of a hunched back (worked the lunch shift on 06/20/2024). Absolutely dreadful customer service skills. Extremely rude. I don't think I've ever encountered a server who was *actively* trying to antagonize me by snide comment after snide comment. So incredibly unwelcoming and unkind towards visitors. I couldn't imagine employing someone who treats customers the way she treated us. That is the complete opposite of what any business should want from their employees. Oof! read more

Oldest bar in Utah, no frills as expected, simple menu (burgers, hot dogs, and chips) but they deliver! Their burgers are delicious and hit the spot after a day on the slopes. Multiple beers on tap, very reasonable prices for pints or pitchers. 1st visit was several years ago, it wasn't too crowded the first time service was quick. My second and most recent visit a different story, it was packed! I think they were short a person, felt bad for the serve as she had to take care of all the tables she was working her butt off and was still super friendly. Will be back! read more

I've always wanted to go here and I finally got the chance a week or so back. I wasn't sure what the procedure was, but I was immediately encouraged to grab a table. Check the beer case before you sit, though, cause the table menu may not match what's in stock. I went with the straightforward cheeseburger and then the bells went off and my brain's lightbulbs lit up. It's the meat! Phenomenal! Sure this place is priced for its simplicity but I'm confident the popularity is all because of the tender fresh juiciness. The ambiance is cozy funny old timey. I put a quarter in the juke box and played a country song I'm convinced is older than me (and I'm gen X, lol). read more

This is truly one of my favorite bars on the planet but after today I don't think I will go back. When we got there it was around 2:30 and it was packed but it soon started clearing out and two seats opened up at the bar. As we sat there we noticed that there seemed to be only two people who were working the bar, one person in the kitchen and "Shelby" who seemed to be the bartender/server. They were still pretty busy so we understood that it was going to take a few minutes for Shelby to get to us. However the bar is small and we were sitting right in front of her and there was absolutely no acknowledgment whatsoever, but again we understood that it was busy. After almost 15 minutes she finally greeted us and took our order. The bar stayed quite busy so again we understood that it was going to take awhile to get our food. 45 minutes was what the estimated time for a burger was. Again no problem. But after watching the gentleman who arrived after us get his burger and eat it, It was now a little after 4 and we had been there for over an hour and a half. We finally inquired after our order at which point we could see Shelby looking for our ticket and we realized that she most likely forgot to put our order in and informed us that she couldn't really say how long our order was going to be. She seemed completely indifferent and acted as if it was our fault for even being there. We both work in restaurants and understand better than most how taxing and difficult working a busy shift can be so we are much more forgiving than most. But it doesn't matter how busy you are you should still be hospitable and give good service, neither of which seemed to be in Shelby's purview. In fact i don't remember a worse form of hospitality than that given by Shelby. We realize that The Shooting Star Saloon is a destination spot-(we were starting off my birthday weekend there)- and that they will always be busy so who cares if the service is good right? It's really too bad because every other time I've been there the service has been great and the food even better. This time the service was the worst I've seen and I couldn't tell you about the food because we never got ours. read more

Used to be a favorite, but let's face it food is limited to burgers and chips and its a cute place if not grungy. Service is terrible. Maybe racist. My wife was checked out up and down when we entered and then ignored. Only one other customer in the place and we we were close enough to the bar where the bar tender could take our without stepping out from behind. Apparently, cleaning glassware was more important. I guess I'm supposed to stand up to order as the bar tender was actively avoiding any form of interaction...but as we got up to leave, that didn't garner any attention either. Maybe that's why the place is empty on a summer Friday at 630 while all the other eateries in the valley were packed. I'll never convince my wife to return again. read more

Ok, The French Laundry it aint. Apparently, it is oldest, continuously operated bar west of the Mississippi. So I asked, "what about prohibition??" Answer, "they'd arrest one bartender and the next would open up, business as usual." Dog was very good. Jukebox excellent. Sustainability: sure. Plastic baskets and wax paper. COVID: same as everywhere at this point. Worth going out of your way. read more

Great burger after a day of skiing at Snowbasin. Very close to a couple ski areas. Easy to find off the main road. When you are famished from skiing all day, this is the place to drive to for great prices on a simple menu of hearty burgers. Look up and notice all the dollar bills hanging from the ceiling and around the walls. Reminds us of Key West. You will think you've gone back in time to the 1800's in this historic part of town. The inside decor matches that thought. Hubby could hardly eat his Star Burger and Lays chips. I devoured my Mini-Star Burger and Lays chips. The flavor combination of the thin beef patty and butterflied knackwurst just hit the spot and I would order it again next visit. Clean restrooms in the back of the dining area. Covid: wear your face mask unless you are seated at the table. Waitress: Danielle Owner: Lesley read more

I've wanted to come for forever, but it's not exactly on the beaten path. We had recently eaten, so this was a visit to have a beer at the bar. The bar was empty, so we had our pick of seats. There is a nice selection of beer on tap. It's very cold, and our barkeep was friendly. Apparently COVID doesn't exist up here, so if you think a mask matters, this is the wrong place. It was just after opening and we were not near anybody. There is no question Shooting Star gets full points for character and friendliness. The beer was cold. Those that had burgers claimed they were good. Perhaps another time, I'll try a burger. read more

Nothing fancy at all here. It's your basic dive bar with a simple menu that is printed on the side of the napkin dispensers on each table. Burgers or hot dogs with chips to keep it simple. The Star Burger is their signature treat here. A delicious double burger with a knackwurst on top. It's messy and delicious and goes well with one of their ice cold beers. This place is cash only.
