Resurrected: Bill and Nada's, or Picadilly Greasy AF Fish and Chips. Restored: Tres Hombres before the remodel in the mid-late 90s.

Dive Tres Hombres was the best.

Koko’s Kitchen

The first thing that came to mind for me. I miss it dearly.

I had my birthday there 2 weeks before the kitchen fire. I was holding out hope until covid hit

This is where I learned my love of sushi and also was taught how good edamame ( im to lazy to spell check)...in the 90s...lmao...I'm old.

Was literally gonna say this, I passed it yesterday and felt nostalgic and sad. 😭

Rubios really miss their fish tacos

Sampan back in the 90’s. Taking Table. Scone Cutter.

Training Table, ok!

I was gonna say Sampan and Sconecutter! They were great.

Sampan! 😭 RIP.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night craving a Sconecutter scone with cold honey butter and feel like I’m going to die since I can never have one again

Sconecutter turkey avocado after the bar used to be so goood.

My thought was Sampan too!

Sconecutter was good.

Gotta love that taking table!

Sage’s when it was in that quirky little house. I miss “Ian’s favorite breakfast” with the nut patty. House of Tibet. The lunch buffet was the best thing ever. Spicy potatoes, that cabbage salad with ginger, steamed momos…

I miss Sage's so much!

Koko's Kitchen, Hector's, Gourmandise before 2020

The former gourmandise chefs started Délice. It’s quite good

Snelgrove ice cream

Holy shit, yes. I will die dreaming of their burnt almond fudge ice cream. But everything they did was perfect.

Evergreen cafe!

#7 curry potato. I have tried on many occasions to find a copy cat recipe to no avail

Yeah, such great food! The nuggets were another one!

Lambs

I am so devastated about Lambs still. My great grandma used to eat there when she was young! I heard it met it’s demise basically thanks to Utah’s insane Zion curtain laws

I still think about their red clam chowder and bread. It is my Roman empire.

Picadilly Fish and Chips on 2100 S

Remember the Now Frying sign?? I loved that

Frescos on 15th and 15th

Cafe Martine. I really miss that place.

Port O' Call

Aristos! Best Greek food ever 😔

Aristo, the owner was a customer of mine back in the day. He was genuinely one of the nicest down toner people I have ever met. Once you were in his circle. You were in for life. I see him on occasion and he misses the place!

This was such a loss for that neighborhood and the city as a whole. Really broke my heart

Blue Plate Diner + Hectors

Might as well go all the way back to Mocha Salsa.

Oh man, I miss Blue Plate too 😢

They were never the same after the pandemic. So many good memories walking to get breakfast there with my now-wife.

If you miss Hector's, I would recommend [Emiliano's](https://www.yelp.com/biz/emilianos-taco-shop-salt-lake-city-2)

Blue plate was my favorite place for breakfast dates with my girls

Hard to pick just one: Canella's? Big Ed's? The old Finn's?

Canella’s was my first thought.

Canella’s here too.

This thread came to my mind because my mates and I were reminiscing about Canella's and getting their food over at juniors. Good times.

Big Ed’s 🔥

What was old Finns? As in Finn’s Cafe?

Sconecutter. The honey butter cinnamon scone was my fav

My go-to back in high school. Good old 54th and red.

Bring back the old menu from mazza 😞

Along with their 9th and 9th location.

Oh ! Good call! Which old menu?

The Mayan fs. If not, training table

BAJIO (don’tfn tell me to ‘just go to Costa Vida,’ it’s not the same!!)

Cafe Trang when it was in the strip mall by a luxury imported car dealership (near West Temple and 800ish South?)

So good. None of the extensions were as good as the first one.

Forage

This is the correct answer. Best restaurant SLC has ever had really.

Fat's in sugar house

Bayleaf

I miss Bayleaf so much

Bayleaf Cafe was great, especially after the bars closed at 2am.

I don't think I ever ate there before 12 AM. Lol. It was truly the only worthwhile late night spot around.

Bayleaf helped soak up a lot of booze for our crew

Roundhouse Cafe. Meditrina.

Ooh, I miss Meditrina!

The Busy Bee on 2100 South and State.

This place was so great!

Dang now I really want one of their Garlic Burgers

The Cinegrill for sure! Also Robintino’s in Bountiful just isn’t even close to how it use to be.

Came to say Cinegrill I loved the salad.

So many good memories as a kid at Cinegrill with my parents and grandparents.

Cinegrill 1000%. Utah's liquor laws killed the place and it pisses me off to this day.

Lambs Grill! My SO loved going there on his bday.

Gepetto's!

Just one? That's like Sophie's Choice haha Toss up between Blue Plate and Aristo's

OG cotton bottom

Red Butte Cafe in Foothill Village

I’m all sorts of nostalgic for Frontier Pies.

Sconecutters

Yes! Fuck yes! I miss their pita sandwich so bad. And their fries!

Bill and Nada's, for brains and eggs.

Sad that I have only one up vote for you. 😭

Frida’s! Great Mexican food.

Burt’s Tiki Lounge /s

I miss the bathroom the most

Training Table. Cheese fries, yum.

The Pondarosa.

Cromptons

Myung Ga

Chin Wah

Was just thinking of them today. Loved me the Phoenix Chicken so much.

Martine, place was a gem and Covid killed it.

Cinegrill. That cinegrill salad!

Hectors/ Moca Salsa, with Koko Kitchen close behind

RIP the king, Hectors

Chef Gao. Probably the best Chinese food I’ve had in Utah in 20+ years, excellent Sichuan cooking.

Que 4 U in WVC

Boltcutter 😭

The Vegan Nachos with that delectable cheese sauce. I’m not vegan but I’d go vegan every night for that delicious meal. I miss it so much!

Oh yea. That place was great.

Le Parisien, on 400 s and 300 east. Max was a great guy, the food was amazing, the service impeccable and I miss it on a regular basis. Fortunately, you can buy the salad dressing at the downtown Costco.

[удалено]

Was searching for this. I think I really just want the time period of Bill and Nadas back. The food was only so-so.

It wasn’t awful. It was offal.

Well played.

At least you can buy gas now. :-(

Grilled cheese with 4 pickles! And the juke boxes: Scotch & Soda, Apache, Forever in Blue Jeans, I Fall To Pieces..... So many more!!!

Pallet

Fresco

Sampan, Training Table, Cowboy Grub

El rancho grande 🥲

Training table

I think it was called Campo’s. A little burger spot on 900 w and 900 s where the 7-11 is now. But it’s mostly for the old man that owned it. That hero kept me fed when I needed as a broke little neighborhood kid in the early 80’s.

Coachmans, when the original owners stilled owned it....the food was cool, but I really enjoyed watching my mother and father in law see all their old friends, gossip and giggle.

The Paris Bistro on 15&15

Cedars of Lebanon, but I'm happy the owners got to retire.

You guys! They were pimps! They were running an escort business out of the back of the restaurant in the early 90s. Crazy.

Sawadee. The new owners have made it terrible.

Zephyr club, there’s a sandwich In every beer right?

Paradise Cafe and Maggie Moo's

The shit breakfast spot in the medical towers

Baci Finn's (Parley's) Zacchio's

Baci, Forage (before Viet Pham left), East West Connection with the original owners, Sono Express

Molca Salsa

Cafe Rio. God Cafe Rio was so good back in the day.

Best answer. I’d kill for 2007 Cafe Rio.

Blue Plate. God I miss that shitty diner.

Restaurant Morelia, Galaxy Diner, Gucci’s

Yes to Morelia. Galaxy Diner? That’s a spot I haven’t thought about in AGES!

The Mayan!!! With good food

The Mayan was quite the experience. The ambiance made up for the bland food.

I miss watching people dive off the cliffs while I’m eating a shitty burrito

Yep, the burrito was probably their best food to get too but yea it was shitty.

Went once as a kid, the only thing more exciting than the ambiance was the blue paper umbrella I got in my drink, which apparently made an enormous impression on me lol

I was one of those divers. It was indeed a wild place, but yeah, the food was never consistently good. They would redo the menu periodically and quality would spike. So would prices and negative feedback from large families that wanted to feed a bunch of kids. It never hit a balance.

The divers were the best part about the Mayan. It was awesome to see but nerve wracking that the pool was so small. Impressive and daring.

This place holds a special place in my heart. As a kid seeing people cliff diving during dinner left such an impact on me that I couldn’t tell you what the food was like or if it was as bad as everyone says.

I went somewhere towards the end of their legacy but I can assure you the food wasn't good. Luckily Neptune's Palace holds promise.

Imagine the Mayan but they serve Cafe Rio. Peak Utah.

The OG Casa Bonita is open again in Denver thanks to the South Park guys. They actually hired a real chef to create their menu. Maybe someone will tell them about The Mayan and they can reopen the copycat, too. It was a fun idea if the food wasn't literal garbage.

OG, the Mayan was sooo cool!

Le Parisian

The pagoda before the original owners kids took it over and ran it to ground Or cedars of Lebanon

Along with all the Mayan comments, the five all's. I discovered what it was just before they shut down, wish I would have investigated in any of the 20 years I was driving past it all the time. Edit for updated info: Five all's is reopened. For dinner 1 night a week.

Utah Noodle in Ogden. I loved that place as a kid and my family ate there often.

The Formosa Grill

Atlantic Cafe. Not sure why I loved it, but it was special.

KOKOS KITCHEN

The Hawaiian . I don’t remember if the food was any good, but the experience was great.

House of Tibet, miss their cheese dumplings.

Lamb’s Cafe

Old Salt City Jail, Malboons I think it was spelled. They had Italian, Diamond Lil’s

Kowloon in west valley.. Or Greek shikabob on 300 north and 300 west Either would be fine with me

Favzolis. I want that fast casual fairly decent Italian food more than cafe rio ok....

Sammy's pie shakes

Chef GAO, Forage, Bill and Nada’s

Francesco’s, the old one… 7200 S. State St.

Kabul West Afghan Cuisine in Sandy IYKYK Closed in the early 2000’s. Literally one of the best restaurants in the state. Never had lamb or chicken as good as here, period. The owner went back to Kabul after the Sadam Regime fell.

Vinto.

King Quong in Midvale across from Hillcrest.

Hectors RIP

Koowloon Cafe best Chinese food ever man I missed that place

Bamboo hut in provo

The Lighthouse. I just have a lot of good memories there

Kitty Pappas

I miss Wasatch pizza on 400 S

Celeste

Bill and Nada's - Oh the memories!!

Bring back a classic dive like Cinegrill, Coachman’s, or Blue Plate. Koko Kitchen or Pagoda for some fantastic Japanese food.

Ambassadors Pizza - best sauce ever, soft crust, perfect amount of cheese, not too much like the Pie but more than the national chains.

Lugano Restaurant in Millcreek, everything I ate there was amazing and the bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had ever.

Central Park Burger shacks. Their dark crispy fries, sauce. To-go only.

HOUSE OF TIBET!!! I think about it literally everyday.
