Local Secrets, Big Finds 2007 Pick

  • March 18, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Local Secrets from New York, New York
After a few years as a cabaret singer, Ruth opened a hamburger joint in 1930. Today it’s the second-oldest restaurant in Utah--although it was relocated up Emigration Canyon in 1949 by way of the Salt Lake trolley car. Now all it takes is a 10-minute drive from Salt Lake City to make it to this "very charming" roadside diner with a "lovely patio." Comfort food is the house specialty. Breakfast is served until 4pm, and Ruth's signature mile-high biscuits accompany both breakfast and lunch orders. Although Ruth passed away at age 94, loyal customer and new owner Dan swears he won't change a thing--including the recipe of Ruth’s award-winning brownie sundae.
