This restaurant and pub is about a 10-minute drive from our home. Everything I have ordered here has been amazing. I often get the pesto quesadilla for my meal. The fries are amazing and I hear the sliders are also good.

This restaurant is about a 10-minute drive from our home. You order at the counter then seat yourself. It's very casual and kind of weird how you order items all separately. No chips and salsa available. I have to admit I was very skeptical when I first walked in and ordered. BUT, the meat is delicious. The street tacos and quesadillas are awesome!

Ever think of buying cookies from a bakery in a gas station convenience store? Neither did I. If you like big, soft cookies, plan to pick up a few or a dozen. This place is in Santa Clara--probably a 20-25 min drive from our house so I always plan a pick up when I'm doing something out that way like watching my son play baseball or hiking in Snow Canyon.

A pricier but delicious, nice sit-down restaurant. You can get a raw steak and cook each piece on a hot stone at your seat. Each bite is hot and cooked just the way you want it--raw through well done. 20-25 min drive from our house.

Also pasta!! In fact, I always get pasta. They also have amazing, huge breadsticks twisted on a stick. My favorite order is zucchini noodles with creamy pesto, chicken and artichoke hearts and mushrooms. The closest place to our home, on Red Cliffs Drive, is my favorite location of this restaurant--they seat you and take your order at the table at the one on St. George Blvd.
