  • Where to eat in Utah Valley?

    Being the cool uncle that I am, I'm taking my 2 nephews, my niece, and their spouses out to dinner, while I'm in town, on Friday night. What non-chain restaurants are good in the UV? These are all college students so I'm sure they will be happy with anything. I'm thinking either steak/potatoes, seafood or oriental in the $20 entree range.

    Isn't there a really popular place in the Wilkinson Center? Do they still call it the Cougareat?

      There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        Oriental food hasn't been around for about 20 years or so.

              Try Gloria's Little Italy on Center Street and University. I ate there (IIRC Lebowski recommended it), and loved it. The food there is really delicious.
              Not that, sickos.

                Art, you can't possibly have a discussion on this topic without relentless mocking from DDD, Grace, the funks, etc. Give me a call and I can walk you through the options.

                      I'd go with Pizzeria 712. Spark has good gourmet burgers. Just make sure you get the Angus burgers. I wouldn't get anything else there.

                        Communal is great. Same owners as Pizzeria 712. And I'm not much of a mocker, JL. I just like good food.

                          I would recommend Communal as well. I'm not sure if you're rich enough for that though.

                              He said $20 per entree. Communal's current entrees are $16 to $19. The sides are separate, of course, but we usually order a few and share.
