We have been to The Three Amigos Mexican food restaurant few times now, and have to say it’s been great each time. The environment is clean, spacious, and somewhat thematic. The servers are friendly and efficient, the food is tasty and ample, and it’s kid-friendly overall. (more…)

We cruised over to Dooners, the new restaurant on 12600 down the road from Bangerter. They are a new food location and we hoped to find a new place to eat. Despite being disorganized and not being able to serve everything on their menu, the place seemed clean and fresh. The food, however, was a whole different experience. (more…)

Hey, South Jordan pizza fans: We love pizza and seek great pizza restaurants. We’ve been trying them slowly and were losing faith that Utah could provide a decent pizza.

Pier 49 Pizza has so far demonstrated the best quality crust and toppings. Still a little bland, their pizza compares very well.

Pier 49 Pizza does not compete well with California or New York gourmet pizza, but for the local venue, it does very well

Pier 49 has a large (”Jumbo” 16″) single topping pizza for roughly $15, but add another topping and a single drink and you’re over $20 at checkout. They have a great selection of food options and do a good job overall. The dining areas are semi-kid friendly, but they lack the simple things like crackers and paper napkins, and it would be great if they cleaned the high chairs once in awhile.
