In case Clark's grandmother is too busy to bake cookies

[smokymountainrain]

I need some suggestions for good food in O-Town. I searched old threads diligently and for the most part came up empty. There was a thread from back in '09 with about 7 posts about Ogden eats - I think our current group can do better. TIA

The last time I ate in Ogden, which was a couple of years ago, it was here: http://tonarestaurant.com/

It's way better than you think a sushi restaurant in the middle of Ogden is going to be.

I had to do a search to understand the reference (the comment about the cookies is true, though).

As it so happens, I was in Ogden about 4 weeks ago visiting my grandmother. She recently moved into an assisted living center, so we took her out to eat. We went to a place called Danny's, in case you want to look into it (it was my grandmother's choice).

Drive 15 minutes north to Brigham City to Maddox.

Maddox is good.

This place is good as well: http://uniongrillogden.com/

It's your typical lunch/dinner place with sandwiches, soup, pasta, etc.

The chips with salsa and chile con queso was quite good. I've had several of the sandwiches and have enjoyed them all.

I thought Maddox was expensive and not worth the money. I was unimpressed by the fried chicken that was one of their specialties.

I wondered if you would remember the cookie comment. It was 3.5 years ago. Thanks for the Danny's suggestion, btw. I may check it out.

Actually, that was a typo. It was Denny's, so you may not want to check it out.

Thanks. Maybe I'll go get some sushi.

3 suggestions:

Jasoh's is pretty good, but expensive, though you can get big discounts on restaurants.com
The Bistro on 34th St (IIRC) is pretty OK
That fancy Mexican place across the street from the Megaplex can also be pretty good.

Lee's Mongolian BBQ

I'll second the Union Grill - been there a couple of times and liked what I had each time.

Another is a small place called the Hug Hes Cafe on Harrison just south of Weber St. I've had someone take me there 2-3 times and really enjoyed the meal.

There is a little Japanese restaurant at 40th and Washington called Temari that is really good. If I remember right, they are only open for lunch during the week, and only open for dinner on Saturday. I didn't have the sushi, but the teriyaki was awesome.

Union Grille is safe.

Prarie Schooner is an old chop house dive with a lot of pioneer kitch. Good steaks, though.

There is a new soushi place that I like:

I like both Union Grill and its' sister restaurant - Roosters.

For Mexican I like Sonora Grill:

They have a good selection of ceviches.

For steaks either the Timbermine or Prarie Schooner are decent or Ruby River as an alternate.

If you are ever in the mood to branch out for Mexican in Ogden, there is a place called Ventanas.

Both times we have been there, were were the only caucasians in the place.

The menu has things on it that I had not seen before, but the basics are pretty good.

FM would probably like it. It appears to be much more "authentic" Mexican than many other places in Utah.

It's pretty inexpensive.

Not very high on ambience, though.

Union Grill is a safe bet but I have been disappointed the last couple of times I've been there. The quality and service seem to have dropped with the economy.

You might find the greek restaurant on 25th might be interesting to you.

Roosters is similar to Union, they are sister joints. Roosters has a brew pub feel while Union is more of a casual diner feel.
