This was my first time here! My mother in law brought me here for my birthday lunch... I was very impressed with the service, atmosphere, service and food! This is a great place to bring your friends or family, for any occasion :) After enjoying your meal and visitation with your company, you can go enjoy the wonderful gift shops! I had the Pancho Villa, it was really good. Mil had Turkey enchilada, she loved it. My husband had the Cobb salad, he said it was good, except the chicken tasted like it was reheated and he didn't care for it... Other than that, this is a great place!! Ps, caramel Apple pie.... Two thumbs up read more

The Greenery Restaurant - Great atmosphere - American Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Service is fine. Food is mediocre. Not great, not bad... Fun to visit and walk around the gift shops read more

When you go to the Greenery, you must get the famous Mormon Muffins and honey butter. They are to die for! Warm and fresh from the oven they met in your mouth. The daily special was pulled pork sandwich, with coleslaw. The flavor of the meat was fantastic and the slaw added just the right amount of crunch. Fun and local eatery near the base of Ogden Canyon. read more

My family and I come here often really good service Mormon muffins to die for my favorite things to order are the clam chowder and the turkey enchilada both amazing. My niece ordered a burger at that look really good as well as my brothers steak just fun weird atmosphere with lots to do!! Just go and explore. read more

I haven't been here in years. We had good service and decent food. Nothing that really stood out though. Since this restaurant is in Rainbow Gardens I finally caved and went in again. My kids liked it because the menu had variety and they serve Coca-Cola. read more

My wife loves this place so we go here a few times a year. This is my review and I think it is pretty good. I don't think it is as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be. My wife always gets the divan and loves it every time. I try something different each time. So far nothing has failed me. I have not tried all the dishes though. Their muffins are really good but are expensive. I think 6 of them are about 10 bucks. That is my only complaint is the high prices on some of the good items. I like the atmosphere and the service has always been good. Go here for a new experience. read more

Salmon and noodles with mushrooms special was wonderful. Start with a cup of their clam chowder. Clam chowder is always the best. Chinese chicken salad was what my mother in law ordered. It is very large and she took enough home for another meal. She orders it a lot. The dressing is GF and very delicious. Husband ordered French dip. It was also very good. The shops are always a fun treat to browse in after dinner too! Always decorated for each holiday and so many fun and unique gifts to buy! Love it! read more

I went to The Greenery for brunch. The wait staff was very friendly and attended to my needs quickly. I brought home some of their Mormon Muffins and honey butter. I love their muffins. All their food is good homemade tasting fare. It is off the beaten path, and a little hard to find, but it is worth the drive. With the mountains as the backdrop, it is a nice place to go for a quiet meal. The portion sizes are good and they have a variety of options. The prices are reasonable. If you are looking for a unique place to enjoy good food, I recommend The Greenery. read more

Love this place and meet up with a lot of my lady friends here too Catch up on old times! I love all of their food; but especially love their mormon muffins! Never leave without a Box to take home to have with my coffee or share with those at home! Great place to eat and then browse and shop!!!! read more

I Love The Greenery! The soups and deserts are homemade & made fresh every morning & the salad bar is always fresh and ready to go for lunch at 11am. I think some of these reviews are unfair because first of all they are not a breakfast establishment like Jeremiahs and not a drive thru like McDonalds. If you want a friendly quiet quaint lunch and cozy dinner enviornment with a pretty view of the canyon this is more for you! The servers are always polite friendly and efficient! They try very hard to seat quickly and provide the best friendliest service possible! The food is reasonably priced and consistently good! They have been in business along with Rainbow Gardens GiftShop for over 40 years, they must be doing something right! I and my friends and family will continue to go there!! read more

I have so many wonderful memories spent at The Greenery/Rainbow Gardens! I've gone here many times, and have so many wonderful memories. It's always been one of my favorite places to go. Such a unique, fun, and special place. The vintage look of The Greenery is so charming. The staff is always cheerful and willing to help. The food is always so good! You can never go wrong with their famous Mormon Muffins! I don't know what they put in those muffins, but they're amazing! Everything there is delicious and its a great place to have a wonderful time! read more

The only reason I didn't give The Greenery 5 stars is my disappointment each and every one of the 30 times I've eaten here... No fries, onion rings or other traditional side choices with sandwiches and burgers. (Just heard a guy ask for them as well) Aside from this, The Greenery is one of my favorite places to eat. There are many good places in Ogden and many more are continuing to open, but this remains as the most comfortable restaurant with a delicious choice of food! With windows all around, each dining area is well lit while each table has its own overhead light. This light isn't overpowering but refreshing. The refreshing feelings are maintained by all the plants and flowers in and around the dining area. The music is light and easy. The colors are all complimentary. The ambience is perfect! My server was the shorter Jake. He was very friendly! Though he admitted to being a vegetarian he knew all aspects of the menu and was very confident in his approach as quirky as it may have been. Every person I come in contact with here is just enough "friendly" and willing to help in any way. This truly is a Ogden gem! Enjoy! :) read more

Gross. Don't order the clam chowder as it's way too thick and over cooked so the carrots are mush. ya I ordered the halibut tonight and it was not editable. It was so overcooked that it was rubbery and gross. Not flaky at all. I complained and they brought out another halibut that was just as rubbery. This restaurant has gone downhill. I used to love The Greenery but I'll never go back. read more

Great location to the mouth of Ogden canyon. Views are fantastic. Small patio dining. Top Choices- Chile Verde and Mormon Muffins are a must. Hamburgers and pasta are mediocre. Nothing special. read more

My family and I always come here for Christmas tea, we absolutely love it! The service is a little slower but the food is to die for. I'm absolutely appalled by some of the poor reviews that this place has received, we have gone since I was a child and have never had a negative experience. I love the atmosphere here, very friendly. I usually get the Shrimp Louie with mint tea and my husband likes the burgers, I recommend the pie as well. read more

We stopped by for a holiday dinner with the family at 7 pm. Ordered appetizers and a glass of wine with our dinner; server replied "Our manager has left and no one is 21 so we can't serve any alcohol to you". What? There is beer and wine on the menu, it is 7 pm, and we cannot order a glass of wine because "the manager left for the night". So ridiculous. Food was mediocre, love Rainbow Gardens to browse through the beautiful shop but will not return to Greenery. read more

Service is always slow. Food is always great. Table touching and returning to check on tables is less than adequate. Drink do not get refilled...why buy one. read more

Bad food high prices. My sons chicken Alfredo was barely warm and bland. The pesto chicken penne was way too oily and tasted horrible. They gave us a piece of cake instead of taking an entree off. Will never go here again read more

My daughter and I went to the Greenery last week. We ordered the Pink Lady and the Marco Polo and shared them. We thought they were very good. We also each got a six pack of Mormon muffins I like them with the honey sauce. read more

Great for lunch with girlfriends! Lots of variety and a super fresh salad bar. Mormon muffins are a must. Arrive before noon if you want to avoid the rush. I recommend the restaurant for entertainng out of town visitors followed by a drive up the canyon and a stroll through the gift shops. Avoid the late lunch window if possible. This is the senior citizen hotspot from 12-2 ! They know a good thing. Service is fast and the clam chowder is wonderful. Also don't miss the carrot cake. We often order 6 muffins with honey butter to go. read more

My servers, Amber and Summer, were top notch. Honestly, they were some of the best servers I have ever had experience with. They were so kind, thoughtful, fun, sweet, caring, and hardworking. Thank you both SO much. You two deserve a raise!!!!! read more

About a quarter of the way through the meal, my found a piece of metal in her food. We both stopped eating immediately, How can you trust anything that comes out of a kitchen with such low standards. Pointed out the metal to management. Got a less than satisfactory apology, they offered to take my wife's entree' off the bill. Seriously? Why would they think, I would pay for food that's untrustworthy. My wife could have been seriously injured and who knows what else could have been in our food. Very poor experience. read more

Tried this establishment for the first time and went for the Turkey Divan. Was excellent. Great balance of curry, hollandaise and tender turkey. Broccoli was firm, fresh and cooked perfectly. read more

Went for my birthday. We ordered potato skins for appetizer. It was nothing but raw parts of bottom of potato with cheese. Asked if they could cook them longer and add chives or something to give taste. He forgot and went about business. The soup was so thick you could use for wall paper. Over charged for muffins which was the only edible thing to eat. He put birthday cake in to go box. When we arrived home the cake was so dry and stale I don't know why they bothered. Never again. High prices, bad food and poor service. Overall these people need to learn math, listening to people, and fresh good food. read more

We ordered the salmon with baked potatoes. The salmon was cooked perfectly! So tender and scrumptious! The baked potato was delicious. They serve it with butter and sour cream on the side. We will definitely be going back next time we are in Utah! read more

My mom and sister and I went to the Greenery for lunch on 11/3/18. It had been awhile since I had been there. I always remember the Mormon muffins as my favorite and as always had one and brought home a half dozen. Our waitress talked us into ordering the Chili Verde Enchilada. It was delicious down to the last bite. The Greenery is such a fun atmosphere with homestyle cooking. Take the time to stop by this cute little restaurant at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. You won't be disappointed and don't forget a Mormon muffin. read more

Sad to say, I can't leave a good review. I have been coming here since I was a kid and I am a senior citizen now. My husband and I have been coming here for years as well, but I don't think we will be back. My husband ordered the chicken Alfredo dish and was expecting something with nice grilled chicken on top. What he got was ground up dark meat chicken. I thought it was chopped mushrooms or something.He said the sauce on it was tasteless and he felt like he was eating a tuna casserole or something. It didn't look good. We asked the waitress about it and she went back and asked the cook and he said they got the wrong meat order in, ground up dark meat, what the heck? On the menu it says it is grilled chicken breast. If you don't have the right food as advertised then tell the customers to pick something else. We went there for my husband's birthday dinner. What a disappointment! I got the enchilada and mine wasn't any better. I wanted to try something new and boy I wish I wouldn't have done that. It was a small portion size but I didn't care to eat it anyway. It just wasn't very good. What a disappointment, we have come here for years and almost always had a pretty good experience. We love being up near the canyon and we enjoy walking around rainbow Gardens for a few minutes afterwards. But, we just didn't have a very good time this time. I don't think we will be back. The waitress was nice enough but the food just wasn't good at all. read more

The food is always great, although I confess I almost always get the same thing--the turkey enchilada. It's so good I have a hard time ordering anything else, but I have tried other things, and it's all good. We were stunned at how fast we got our food, which has been the case before. read more

The date I ate (8-8-18) was not as good as the previous Saturday. The salad was bland and there were lots of flies. The waitress wasn't as friendly as the one before. But the Saturday before ordered the chicken enchilada with mormon muffins that was a great lunch and the waitress was especially nice. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant to go to. Doesn't matter what the occasion, birthday, date night, or casual lunch, the vibe here is just friendly and the food is amazing. I get the verde chili burrito every single time. The wait staff is always attentive and care about your food being fresh and you liking your meal. I have never had to send anything back. There has never been a wait when I go and they always get me or my large party seated quickly. If you have never been here you are missing out on a piece of Ogden. And try the Mormon muffins, they are scrumptious. Lastly would be the cost. I don't get to go out as often as I would like cause I don't like paying ridiculous prices. The greenery is very well priced and always has coupons or free cake on your birthday. I love this place. read more

This is by far one of my favorite places to eat. Great for lunch and dinner. I love dining here with family and friends. It's located right at the mouth of Ogden canyon. The service is amazing. They have a beautiful view of the mountains. My favorite menu item is the beef and things sandwich. I also really like the Mormon muffins and chocolate cake. They also have a few gift shops that are really fun to explore. I definitely reccomend this restaurant. They are delicious!!!! read more

I have been to the Greenery twice in the last month. Each time I went I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is very friendly and inviting. I love the decor inside. It is full of plants and has quaint tables and chairs. I ordered the ahh! vocado sandwich. It is truly one of the best veggie sandwiches I have had. It is a toasted sandwich with large mozzarella cheese slices sitting atop tomato slices and broiled until the cheese is toasty golden brown. All the veggies underneath include avocado, mushroom and sprouts. The sprouts add a touch of flavor that makes this sandwich so delicious. I ordered the pasta salad as a side. It is a light, refreshing, somewhat sweet pasta salad that pairs itself perfectly with the ahh! vocado sandwich. I recommend taking some time to drive to this restaurant for lunch and giving it a try. read more

I'm sorry folks, but the place smells like a convalescent hospital. I wouldn't even get take out from here.

The best sour cream Turkey enchiladas I have ever had, and I love their sautéed mushrooms. I do wish they had more to choose from on the salad bar though. The other people I've been here with are not fans of their food, but for what I get there, I love it! read more

Wow I thought I was the only one that disliked this place until I saw all of these reviews. In my opinion this place is just really really bad. The clientele is a much older crowd. That is how they survive. By serving people who's taste buds no longer work like they used too. Nothing on the menu is good. I really mean nothing! Everything is soooo bland! Spend a bit more money and go to the Timbermine that is close by. read more

Had a great lunch here after a morning at the Dinosaur Park, service was awesome. The Mormon muffins were wonderful. I had the vegetable soup which was very salty but I liked it. My family liked their burgers. I ate half of my kiddo's grilled cheese which was very yummy. Then we wandered the gift shops, so plan to spend a couple hours here! read more

Only eaten there once, and the wife and I agree- never again. Both plates were only half eaten when we asked for the check. Tolerable, yes, but when you eat out, you should want to finish your plate, right? Yuck. read more

While visiting from LA, I wanted to introduce a friend to The Greenery. It was sentimental favorite from my Utah days. We were with a group of adults. The food was fine, but the service and management were very disappointing. The server accidentally spilled a carafe of water. It ran straight into my fiend's purse, completely dousing her iPad, Blackberry and cell phone. We tried to clean it up as quickly as possible, but the Blackberry wouldn't work. The waitress although embarrassed, didn't seem very concerned. So, we decided to talk with the manager. After explaining what had happened, he replied, "Well, now I know" and dismissed her, completely. I was stunned and embarrassed. I couldn't believe he didn't even offer to comp her meal (our combined lunches were $35, so it wasn't a fortune. When I asked him why he hadn't even comped her bill, he blamed it on her, for not asking. I was stunned. Ogden has plenty of other places with better food and services. Last time I feel sentimental about The Greenery. read more

I have gone to the greenery many times over the years of visiting Utah. It was always a fun little place to eat and the food was good. Their salads with seafood are the best really. I ordered a simple baked potato this time and my husband ordered a burger. The potato was small and loaded with so much cheese, I couldn't cut through because of how hard it got by the time it was placed in front of me. I did have a seafood bisque to start my meal and it was delicious (I should've ordered it for my whole meal). Our service was terrible. The waitress couldn't have cared less about us. She would talk to a customer at another table, turn around and roll her eyes. She ignored me half the time I tried to get her attention. The bus boy I ran into on my way out was really nice and helpful, so I wouldn't say it's an overall service thing, just our waitress had a chip on her shoulder. read more
