    The burgers tasted like a&w burgers did when I was a kid. Great clam chowder. I hope they will be open for the summer of 2026.

    Oh boy what a disaster. Coming back from a family trip my father in law really wanted to come here…read moreonly for us to find out it's been bought out. First red flag was there was only one person on the staff in there. Once we walked in and were seated the rest of the staff came in to cook. That was a little alarming. The food wasn't spectacular other than the scone fry bread was really good. Definitely not what it once was.

    Triple D needs to stop running the episode with this place immediately! The Pie Dump no longer…read moreexists & what's left in its rotting corpse bares zero resemblance to it. If the new owners want to do their own thing, which is definitely their prerogative, separate and clearly differentiate yourself from it as thoroughly as possible. Everything on their Yelp page carried over from the original restaurant and not a single bit of it is still accurate. Making matters worse, they seemed visibly annoyed when we asked them about items from the original menu. It was weird and very off-putting. Additionally, make your phone number very easy to find. My family drove a couple of hours to get to this place and we had concerns, as there was mixed info as to whether this was still the same thing it was when Triple D filmed there. Everyone in my family looked for a number and tried to call them and none of us were able to reach them. We mentioned this and I don't feel that they were honest with us when they insisted that their number was readily available on the internet. It most definitely was not. It very much seemed to us like they are trying to take advantage of all the great publicity and buzz the original place received from Triple D and Yelp and they are hoping to trick people into coming and trying them and being wowed by the new product so much the old won't matter. So how'd they do with that? I was with my wife, two of my daughters, one of their husbands and my two grandkids. We all agreed that we felt like we were somehow in an episode of Seinfeld. As mentioned, we drove a long distance and waited to eat so we could try this and everyone was too hungry to push on to Ogden and try to find something else. Perhaps this is part of the plan for them as well. Hostage eating. There really aren't any other options around there. We finally hit a point where we were all so annoyed, we agreed that we were just going to go where the experience took us and then share it online. The menu is mostly breakfast food, which no one really wanted at 2PM. My wife ordered a club sandwich, which she said wasn't terrible but was clearly made with packaged deli meat like you'd buy at a supermarket. Nothing special at all. The two high points were the Utah scones and the pork chops that my daughters ordered. They were very fatty and low-grade but one of my daughters lived in the Philippines for a while and low grade pork is a staple food there so it brought her happy memories. The other daughter is just delighted to eat anything served with easy-over eggs and runny yolks so that made it all edible for her. My SiL was pretty unimpressed with his food but will be writing his own review. My grandkids are too young to care but growing up in this family, I'm fairly certain the'd have pretty specific feelings about it if they were a little older. I ended up ordering a breakfast burrito because literally nothing else on the menu looked vaguely appetizing after I hyped myself up for the menu I saw on Triple D. They charged me an extra $4 to include bacon, ham and sausage and adamantly refused to swap out green peppers for jalapenos. I agreed to pay extra for the jalapenos but there was not a single jalapeno in the entire burrito once it arrived. I opted to not bother mentioning it to our server since she'd been standoffish about every single thing we'd asked her about to that point so I just figured I'd let her know in this review that she pretty much bought with their weak hospitality. There was also a random bone shard in the burrito. How cheap does the sausage you use in your restaurant have to be to have bone shards in it?!!. If you look at the pic of it I posted, it looks like something purchased in the frozen section at Winco with some rubbery cheese melted on it in the microwave. One of the worst breakfast burritos I've ever eaten. I also paid nearly $6 for some appetizer pot stickers that were very overcooked and clearly straight out of a bag of frozen potstickers purchased from a food supplier. For contrast, we went to our favorite UT pho spot in Orem for dinner where they give you a dozen or more potstickers for less than $6 and if they're not making them themselves, they at least know how long to fry them so the won't chip a tooth. I realize that potstickers and breakfast burritos are a weird combo but the menu didn't give me much to work with. After many years of cooking for my family, I've developed a style I call "hybrid cooking" where I combine 100% homemade components with some pre-made items to create a meal that tastes completely homemade in much less time. If I owned a restaurant, I would try to do as much fully homemade as possible because that's your whole deal. Otherwise you're just low-grade fast food. The majority of bad restaurants I try overestimate their quality and abilities and it works for them because many people have simple palates and aren't as put off as I am. That's how the Jack in the Box's of the world exist

    I came in a week prior to my review, the experience was unlike any I've had in Utah so i wanted too…read morecome a second time and have a different server to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Let me start with the servers the first time in i was greeted promptly with a smile by Laken, my server. The atmosphere was cozy with defined areas. Everything was clean and and cared for right down to the bathrooms. i could tell ownership has a quirky sense of humor based on the merchandise they sell. As i waited for the meal i watched the two servers working diligently with a smile, they didn't miss a beat with being attentive to their patrons and all of the other aspects of their job. Honestly i watched too see if they could keep the same place throughout my time there they worked like a fine oiled machine. Without having to say a word to each other they knew what to do to help each other. I can't imagine this being an easy task.. The second time coming in, i really wanted to see if the excellence was a fluke, but to my delight it was the same great experience as the first time. Serenity, My server worked with the same diligence as the first time i watched her working and again without missing a beat of the friendly service as i had with Laken, the first time in. Now here's the kicker the service was so good, i asked to speak with a manager or owner, I was told there wasn't a manager or owner present. They were self monitoring, that blew me away, these young ladies working like they were on their own, it screams volumes for their work ethics and management. Now for the food, presentation was just like the menu pics. I apologize i failed to take pics as it was served so it is pics from the menu. The was good, the breakfast i had was cooked, in my opinion, perfectly. There breakfast sausage was different than any other I've had. I've been to a lot of places. I highly recommend this place even the locals were really friendly with conversation they made me laugh, one of the locals went out to his truck and brought this spoon guy to me. I live over an hour away but i will say well worth the drive mainly for the experience. Now if i have to say anything that i would like to see different it would be the fly traps. They aren't intrusive but i would maybe use an alternative. But I'm not a fly expert and it's not a deal breaker. This is my honest review, i don't know and have never met anyone from this establishment have never met any of the

We made our way in & were greeted & seated right away despite being very busy & full. The servers were bustling around the whole time we were there with big parties of people coming in for lunch as well. It appeared locals & travelers alike were enjoying their meals & the hometown atmosphere. Our server (I wish I remembered her name) was fast, friendly, & efficient. We ordered a patty melt, scone, breakfast burrito, & open face beef roast special. It was all hot & delicious. Portions were just right & priced well. I would recommend anyone passing through to stop & have a meal. Our family hopes to come by again in the near future!

    Moose Buns was hands down one of my favorite food discoveries in Garden City! We stopped here early…read morein the morning before heading out to kayak Bear Lake, planning to simply grab a coffee and something quick for breakfast. I had no idea I was about to become completely jaded when it comes to cinnamon rolls! I ordered the caramel walnut cinnamon roll, and WOW. It was absolutely incredible. The roll was soft, warm, gooey, and covered with delicious caramel and walnuts. Every bite was ridiculously good. I honestly have no idea what they do differently here, but this cinnamon roll has officially become the standard that every other cinnamon roll will now have to compete against. The coffee was also a great addition and made this the perfect quick breakfast before starting our day at Bear Lake. I love finding local places like this when we travel, especially when something as simple as stopping for breakfast turns into one of the most memorable parts of the trip. Moose Buns has officially earned a spot on our Bear Lake must-visit list. From now on, whenever we're staying in Garden City, this will be my first stop in the morning. If you love cinnamon rolls, do yourself a favor and try the caramel walnut. Just be warned--you may never look at another cinnamon roll the same way again!

    Thank you so much to Emma and the other ladies working this morning. It was so nice chatting with…read morethem while my daughter and I placed our order. They even offered my dog a pup cup. My daughter got an artic freeze that was yummy and we shared a raspberry cinnamon bun which we pecked at all day basically. I also got a cute Bear Lake postcard from their selection of cards pins and stickers. This place had some construction going on nearby but we really wanted to try it so we parked our RV across the street and walked. Also love the Bible verses in their window!!

Be patient as it takes a while to receive orders. They are known for their traditional danish Æbleskiver's which are essentially pancake balls. They have a variety of flavors and toppings, sweet and savory. They also have a lunch menu as well as breakfast items besides the pancake balls and an assortment of drinks, juices, coffees, housemade flavored waters. I got the beach babe water, very strawberry forward. I will try something different next time. The Æbleskivers were well prepared and my entire family enjoyed them. I'm not a big fan of pancakes, I prefer a crispy waffle. The stand out of our experience however was the friendly service from the woman taking our orders. She was so welcoming and talkative even though they were very busy. It was our first time here and she treated us like local friends. Once she spotted our dog she immediately searched for her dog treats and offered one. While we were waiting for our food I asked for a small cup of water for our dog. A minute later the woman who took our order walked out with a large, clean dog bowl filled with cool water. It really put a special touch to this darling place. Even though I dont even like pancakes we will return just because of the hospitality. BTW, check out the adorable shack filled with crystals, candles and lovely jewelry. You won't be disappointed!
