Ruth's Diner Review

Ruth’s has been serving breakfast up Emigration Canyon since 1930, which makes it one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants in Utah — and Ruth Evans herself, a chain-smoking former cabaret singer, ran it with a legendary sharp tongue for decades. The diner grew out of an old trolley car (still part of the building), the patio sits under the canyon cottonwoods, and the signature is the “mile-high biscuit,” a biscuit the size of your fist that arrives with every breakfast. It’s a Salt Lake ritual, especially for weekend brunch on the creekside patio.
