I read the reviews and thought it would be good. I just wanted a steak and a salad. This salad was ok, iceberg lettuce, so not great. The New York strip was thin, tough, and very grisly. Service was very friendly. But $18 for a thin mostly grisled steak and some lettuce. . . Just not worth it. And there is a bad odor in the restaurant. Carpet looks like it’s been there for 50 years. I only give 2 stars for the friendly service.

Oh boy. Where to start...Really bad food. I mean really, really bad. Maybe the Rueben and chili Verde smothered burrito were just terrible choices but the waitress confidently recommended them so that seems doubtful. Bad food can be partly remedied by great service but this was even worse. Our waitress was SO unfriendly and even rude to other customers. Actually didn't encounter any pleasant staff here at all.Very weird atmosphere. Grossly tacky decor. The hostess was literally vacuuming right next to our table as we ate.One last thing- we ended with a piece of pie hoping it might leave a good taste our mouths. I've never had such a weird pie. It was like eating chocolate pudding dumped on a tortilla crust.Save yourself some money and GI distress and pick another local spot.

I’ve been to Leftfork several times for breakfast. Food and service have been good. But my last visit was below average. Food was delayed. In fact, a patron seated by us left because he was tired of waiting. Our server mentioned there would be a wait as they were training new cooks and we were fine to wait. What bothered me was when I paid my bill I noticed they added a surcharge. It was a small amount, but no explanation was given and the cashier was clearly in a bad mood. Everyone has bad days, but you should tell customers about extra charges before they order. That’s common sense, not to mention common courtesy.

First time here. Fries were undercooked, but I'm sure just an oversight. The burger was very good. Service is excellent. One can tell this is a neighborhood restaurant. I was surprised by how busy it was on a weekend afternoon. It was unexpected, but one could tell, this is a neighborhood place. Everyone who came in were greeted by name, the servers knew what they were going to order, and I overheard a couple of guests mention what they were getting the next day when they would come in. The atmosphere is comfortable and honestly a bit nostalgic. I will be back. If you go, ask about the pie shelf at each table.

We went to Left Fork Grill because it is real close to our house AND it had rather good reviews and we like to support local businesses. Unfortunately, our experience was not worth raving about.. We ordered Biscuits and Gravy, Eggs in a Hole, and the Grilled Pastrami Sandwich. The Biscuits Gravy as well as the Eggs in a Hole were a bust! Seriously, they had absolutely ZERO flavor. When we suggested to our waitress that perhaps she should tell her cooks these dishes had no flavor the response we got was 'Put some seasoning on it.' We weren't trying to be rude or even make a fuss, but I thought we were paying from the food to not only be cooked for us but also seasoned to a degree.Now, the Grilled Pastrami was pretty flavorful. I didn't care for the bread it was made on but atleast it had good flavor. I don't know what all the great reviews the Left Fork Grill are all about but it's certainly not their Biscuits and Gravy, Eggs in a Hole NOR their customer service.

The food was good, but the service was lousy! I was there for Sunday brunch with a few friends. The server never even noticed I arrived or joined the table. I never got a glass of water. There was only one refill for my small cup of coffee. I suppose I'm supposed to be very grateful that she even took my order at all, but honestly, I expect much more than that from a server to count as great service. There are too many restaurants and diners in the area that actually value my business, so I'm not likely to return to this mediocre diner.

Stopped by the left fork grill tonight on our way home from mill creek to Provo , there was an Accident around bangerter so we got to blow some time . I’m glad we stopped there. The service was excellent ! The food was even better ! Thanks ladies ! We’ll definitely come back

Had the chili Verde Burrito, was very good I would probably rate it 4 or 4-1/2. Also had a side of home made sausage that was okay but have had a lot better.All in all a very good place.

Great little diner! We loved our breakfast specials (blueberry stuffed French toast, asparagus scramble) and are looking forward to going back.

Their service has gone down hill. I've attached a letter I sent them. I wasn't important enough to even get a call or the issue addressed. I don't think anyone, especially your mother should be treated like this. Left Fork Grill, 68 West 3900 South Dear Manager/Owner, I've been a patron of your establishment for several years. Your restaurant as been a stable place to get a bite to eat for lunch with co-workers, meeting up with friends and an easy place to take my mother for a bite to eat. On Thursday December 9, 2021, I brought my mother in for Lunch/Breakfast. The restaurant was not busy. Which was kind of a surprise because usually your place is hopping. I noted that there were only about five tables with customers in the whole restaurant. All sitting spread out in the front south section. We were promptly seated by the waitress and she escorted us back to the north room, which was completely empty of people. She said it was nice and cozy, but she seated us in a booth blowing cold air. My mother wanted to move to another table because she was cold, and I told her to wait for the waitress and we could ask to be moved to the front of the restaurant. We looked at the Menu, and decided what we wanted. As we sat there, looking at the menu, a couple came in and was seated in the booths up front. That's when I noted that there were two waitress's and they were talking about filling the fry sauce. I watched as the couple got their drink order. Then a group of three men came in, they were seated in the end booth to the far south. Those customers got their drinks promptly and their order taken. In the meantime, I watched the waitress who seated us refill coffees in her section, we made eye contact, I knotted my head indicating we were ready. My mother and I sat there chatting, as I notice the waitress bringing out the food for the table by the wall next to the front door. Again, I made eye contact with the same waitress. I just figured she was busy with getting the food out to everyone at one time. Then I could hear the two waitresses talk about someone's boyfriend, Again, the waitress brought something over to the table by the front door. She made complete eye contact with me again. My mother, who was freezing by now, wanted to move up to the front. I told her no, that we were leaving. The restaurant was very slow and that there is not excuse for this and I felt that it was purposely being done. We walked out of your establishment, VERY SLOWLY, because my mother is quite elderly and has a hard time walking. I watched the two waitresses as they both kept their backs to us and their heads down. Not once noticing someone leaving your restaurant. The experience was surreal. I felt the whole event was personal. But my mother loves the place. If you feel there is something that my mother or I have done to offend you or your staff, I would like to know. If that is the case, I take FULL responsibility for our actions or mishap's. However, I have given it some thought and I personally don't understand how we deserved that type of treatment. So, I called Friday, I talked to the waitress who seated us. She said the manger would not be in until 3 pm and the owner was out. She knew who I was. She claimed to have forgotten us and apologized. She said she didn't realize she left us back there until she saw the menus sitting on the table. She said if we came in, she would get us a free piece of pie. But the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I personally feel this was done on purpose: · She sat us in an empty room, by ourselves, when the restaurant was very dead. Completely away from everyone else. · We made eye contact with her at least three to four times. · We were seated beneath a cold airflow. · We were left setting there for 20 to 25 minutes (during a very slow period). · She knew who I was when I called and her indifference in her voice towards me. · The attitude that a piece of pie would justify the poor service. · Usually, the waitress asks for your drink order wh
