I hear really good things about it. Brand new joint that is getting really good reviews. They're right by the Olive Garden I believe.

What’s the best burger in Utah right now?

Is anybody serving burgers right now? Seems a bit early in the day

Hickory Burger at JCWs

Apr 26, 8:33am

JCW's buns ruin what would be good burgers. They are dry and just disintegrate immediately

Crazy Joe Davola

Well, and the burger patty is dry and flavorless

You go to JCW for the Training Table hickory sauce. And you're better off going to Tonyburgers instead.

Didn’t know there was a Hickory at Tonys

Rich's - their Mac n Cheese burger is amazing

Once upon a time I thought this was about the best burger in the country. Went back last year and seems they have new

That's too bad. I haven't been to Rich's in more than 7 years but I remember it being very good.

kccougar

Apr 26, 8:42am

The new fries they serve aren't very enjoyable either. It's a shame.

For me it’s still crown burger. That pastrami makes it perfect

I like the pastrami burger for the novelty of it. But it is not close to a great burger.

Pastrami burgers are great (and a state treasure). But Crown Burger is just the most easily accessible good one

kccougar

Apr 26, 8:37am

It is a good burger. It may be considered a great burger in Utah seems like not many options out there.

Baron

Apr 26, 8:48am

You're kidding right? Utah is saturated with burger joints.

kccougar

Apr 26, 8:50am

I basing it on the fact that people listed crown bigger as the best in Utah. If that is considered the best then you

One guy in a thread listing dozens of places.

Care to share your favorite pastrami burger places in Utah?

dilbert

Apr 26, 9:39am

The two pictures I posted are from Capitol Burger and Lucky 13 and they are both great

kccougar

Apr 26, 9:47am

I like Crown Burger, but I only eat there when going to the Delta Center

RockyBalboa

Apr 26, 8:40am

I like the pastrami on the burger, but it's not a great burger. It's just ok.

jdub

People will say Copper Onion, but I think it is actually Capitol Burger.

Burgers & Barley is legit

Chom would be my favorite right now.

I understand Mooyah's is under new management. The last pics I saw from them look very good. Can anyone confirm?

kccougar

Apr 26, 8:43am

I love Mooyah's, probably my favorite place in Provo/Orem area for a burger

Celestial burger at lucky 13

Capital Burger in Torrey

TheHop

This is the correct answer.

kccougar

That sounds like a great option when I'm in that area.

So good. Wish I had more reasons to be down there.

My favorite readily available burger is a loaded 5 guys. Downside: it costs $386

Two burger places I miss: Bar X in Springville and a little place in SLC on about 800 S and 200 E, I think

The Scaddy's in Murray was pretty good, I haven't tried the Lehi one

RockyBalboa

Apr 26, 9:14am

I haven't been in years, but I don't think they are the same as they were originally - on 900 E.

kccougar

Brand X was awesome, until the son took over and ran it to the ground.

TheHop

Apr 26, 9:18am

Brand X, that's right.

kccougar

Doc Brundy’s was pretty solid as well, gone now unfortunately.
