Cafe Zupas

Reviewed By MakeMineMocha

We ordered the summer special salad and were not told it cannot be included in the combo meal until after we were charged for it. We also ordered the pork bbq sandwich; what we got was a cabbage sandwich with a little pork on it. When we expressed our dissatisfaction we were told "have a fine day." Tables were not bussed so we had to wait for a seat. Zupas continues to go downhill; they serve watered down soups instead of the delicious thick creamy soups we used to enjoy, cabbage salads pretending to be filled with meat, and salads that are half the size they used to be and all lettuce, very little else. The chocolate covered strawberries are puny and the quality of the chocolate has diminished. There are no longer baguettes, but cheap dinner rolls. Just an overall disappointing experience. In an area full of choices, Zupas is fast leaving our short list.

Corner Bakery Cafe

Reviewed By Motivator535

We stopped in the Corner Bakery Cafe and enjoyed the well made sandwiches and meals.It was clean, run well, family friendly, and moderately priced. If I am back in the area I would come again. The panini and the Turkey, bacon, avocado were a great combo.

Black Bear Diner

Sitting at the edge of Orem’s newly refurbished University Mall and just minutes from BYU’s Provo campus, this diner makes the perfect stop for shoppers, game-goers, and families. Our spacious dining area will accommodate large groups while our teams prov

Stopped here for brunch on a weekend. The restaurant was rather crowded, but we took seats at the counter instead of having to wait. The staff is very friendly and service was quick. I ordered basic eggs, sausage & hash browns. Hubby had a western omelet. My son ordered a bowl that had eggs, vegetables and potatoes. The portions were massive and the quality of the food was very good.

Red Lobster

Several Red Lobster Resturants in Utah are NOT listed.

Reviewed By Dinolady

We were late getting to the restaurant and that might be the reason we found some of the meal disappointing. Both of the salads - one garden and one caesar were wilted and tasteless. The coconut shrimp was excellent but the lobster was slightly undercooked. The broccoli was over cooked for both meals. Dessert was great.cor some reason I can't do the rating but would rate the service as excellent, the food as average and the value average

TRUreligion Pancake & Steakhouse

Reviewed By TandLseeingtheworld

We were hesitant to try this place, because we aren't breakfast restaurant lovers (thank IHOP and Village Inn for that opinion). But this place was fantastic. You feel like you had a meal, not a breakfast. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was quite nice. We've been back several times in the past month and plan to return soon. Prices are quite decent as well.

Don't let the unconventional building ( a house converted to a restaurant) fool you - this place is awesome. The food is delicious. The brisket is extremely tender and flavorful. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. If you like smoked chicken or brisket, you will love this place!

Reviewed By Gregory T

We had heard of La Jolla Groves but had not tried it until this last Friday, our anniversary. We made reservations ahead of time but no sure if they were needed as it wasn't super busy. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service was excellent. Everyone from the hostess, the busser, and our server did an excellent job of ensuring we had a great experience. Our food was good, however the only complaint was that my wife's salmon was dry, which was a bit of a disappointment but overall it was a great restaurant with great decor and wonderful service. We would go back for sure!

Joe's Cafe

Reviewed By Stevan D

There's something about a local eatery that speaks to you before you even order your meal. We took a small group of business associates out to a birthday brunch. None of us had ever been to Joe's Cafe before this experience. The food was everything you'd expect and more. The service (fast-casual style), and the table service were just fine, if you're okay with getting your own drink, tableware, and napkins. The portions were larger than anyone should eat in one sitting (you can always take some home if so inclined). The prices were full-fare restaurant level, notwithstanding the serve-yourself style. So here's the rub: Everything was sticky. The dining table; The ketchup container; The salt and pepper shakers; The service table; the chair back and seat. It felt like they needed to close for a day and power-wash the entire place top to bottom. Great food. Grimey environment. Southern comfort doesn't need to be sticky. But we did get a good meal and enjoyed our visit.

I don’t find Texas Roadhouse overly compelling. Their bread with honey butter is the bomb but the food apart from that is just okay. I don’t go there if I don’t want a headache because the atmosphere is LOUD and the cowboy Birthday shout-out is obnoxious.

Bam Bams BBQ

Reviewed By jim b

Based in an old army surplus building Bam Bam's does a pretty good fare of bar-b-que meats and side dishes. It is informal with most seating on indoor picnic tables. Their sauce is really good and side dishes are also very good. There is a good selection to choose from. I think the turkey is their best offering.
