Ruth's Diner Restaurant Review: In 1930, an attitudinal ex-cabaret singer opened up a burger stand in downtown Salt Lake City. Three-quarters of a century, two ownership changes, and one move (to the current location in historic Emigration Canyon) later, the place is a bona fide local legend. People willingly drive ten minutes out of town and wait a half-hour or more for Ruth's old-fashioned, home-style food, especially the Mile High biscuits. Three-egg omelets, breakfast burritos, banana-walnut french toast and other goodies come with deep-fried potatoes and those signature lumps of fluffy dough. Breakfast is served till 4 p.m. every day. For dinner, we recommend a burger, Ruth's meatloaf or, if you really crave old country cooking, a helping of homemade chicken and dumplings. Everything's made from scratch on-site. The Thursday evening barbecues held in the summer should not be missed. |
