Here is MORE in depth Master List of restaurants in the Ogden, Utah area

Bella’s Fresh Mexican Grill

Our first contender is right off the highway and is Mexican cuisine and it’s fabulous.

So good in fact, we had our wedding luncheon catered by them!

My go-to is

The Burrito Gordito – with shredded beef, is my favorite. (but chicken is good too) It’s smothered with the red enchilada sauce, it is to die for!
Another favorite is their Chimichangas – they are crispy and delicious. (add a side of mama’s white sauce to dip your chimi into, it’s pretty freaking fantastic and it mixes well their enchilada sauce to boot!)
A family favorite is their fresh homemade Guacamole Fresco, which is an avocado salsa made table-side. It has ALL fresh ingredients, it is a very fun experience to watch them make it!

An assortment of plated food from Bella's Mexican Grill. Homemade guacamole, red sauce jumbo burrito and a white sauce enchiladas with a side of refried beans.

Pro tip: If you are a sauce person, get any burrito, chimichanga etc. etc… and add the mama’s creamy, cheesy white sauce!!!!! Sometimes I’ll order the Burrito Gordito with chicken and then add the mama’s white sauce, instead of the enchilada sauce!

Can we say delicious? Yes, yes we can!

*Just FYI for some reason the shredded beef, doesn’t go as well with the mama’s white sauce. I thinks it’s because the beef is cooked with the red sauce.🤷‍♀️

Burly Burger – American

Oh my goodness! Burly Burger is the BEST!!!

Can we talk for a sec about their burgers? They have such unique and different burgers. The Farley Burger, Paul Bunyan, Mr T, the Duke, with names like that how could they NOT be great?!

My absolute favorite is the

Farley Burger – A whole buffalo chicken strip, with buffalo sauce, hamburger and blue cheese. It’s so fabulous,

My husband prefers

Paul Bunyan – hamburger topped with a beef frank, cheese, grilled onions and grilled mushrooms.
Mr T – hamburger topped with pastrami, cheese and burly sauce.

If you’re looking for a “lighter” options try their Chicken Cob Salad

Their sides are equally at delectable!

Don’t let me get started OR let me get started, you won’t regret it ha!

Their battered fries are to die for! AND… the fried cheese curds are so bubbly and crispy! I haven’t ever had fried cheese like these before, they don’t have any batter but they are the bubbliest yumminess ever!

Dip them in the Utah fry sauce as well, they are so Aaaaammmmaazzing! Just try them, you can thank me later!

Now top of your burly burger experience and end with dessert! Shakes, ice cream is always the answer, no matter the question!

The caramel and cookie dough shakes are super creamy and yummy to the tummy! But you can get any flavor you prefer.

Two ice cream shakes from burly burgers. One is vanilla cookie dough and the other is caramel.

Now just dip your battered fries in the shakes and call it a day!

I mean if you like fries and ice cream together, which I personally do!

Crown Burger – American

Do you see that pastrami goodness?

Crown Burger has the most amazing Pastrami Burger – Just look how stuffed those burgers are!!!

Hamburger with sliced pastrami, cheese and mustard.

Their shakes are pretty good too, but I would wait and get Nielsen’s Frozen Custard for dessert instead!

BUT really if you don’t want to go to two different places, their shake are really quite yummy!

It’s just nigh to impossible to compete with custard, in my opinion.

My mom really always gets their Fish & Chips – she loves it and it’s loaded with all different kinds of things: salad, fish & chips and pita bread.

The Pizza Man – Italian

They have THE best Breadtwist!

You will want a whole box to yourself!

Breadtwist – They are garlicy, parmesany and delicious! I mean just look at them!

Bread sticks and marinara sauce at the pizzaman, in North Ogden, Utah.

Believe me, I take my carbs VERY seriously!

If I’m going to add some inches to my waistline it had better be WORTH it! I’m kinda picky in that regard;) Weird I know!

This last time we decided to try their

Chinese Chicken pizza – it had an sweetish sauce with a creamy ranch mixed in and chicken and peanuts (remember to add the peanuts). It’s sounds really odd…

BUT…. OH. MY. GOODNESS it was amazing!

Tony’s Grill and Sushi Bar – Japanese

Three people out for lunch at Tony's Grill and sushi bar in Layton Utah. — Impatiently awaiting our sushi rolls!

They have a deal for “all you can eat” sushi!

It comes with so much… where to start hmmm

Well let’s start with the appetizer, upon request it comes with rangoons, tempura fried vegetables and miso soup.

Just remember you have to tell them you want to order them AND the biggest thing to remember is that if you don’t eat everything you order you have to pay extra, so be aware and don’t get order happy.

Make sure to go hungry, so you can try all the different rolls.

The server will give you this ⬇ paper for you to order your first batch of rolls.

Ordering sushi paper at Tony's grill and sushi bar in Layton Utah. — We like the long rolls best, but the hand rolls are good too just different. The long rolls are what you see in all the pictures.

TIP: I would suggest, if you know what rolls you want to start with order asap, sometimes they take a minute to get out to you. (like the popper took extra time)

I would only order 1-2 to start with. Then once those rolls come out, be ready with your next order paper (another 1-3 rolls) and have them put in your next order, then you’ll get the next batch pretty soon after finishing the first one.

Does that make sense? or is it “as clear as mud?” as my dad use to say!

A woman that has a mouthful of sushi. — Shoving a whole piece of sushi in my mouth, because I couldn’t wait!

A man about to eat a piece of sushi. — Justin was a “little” more eager than me, he needed two pieces of sushi!

Our favorite rolls:

Three sushi rolls, 1. Angry Lion Kind 2. New Yorker 3. TNT — The mighty 3 most favorites! We order them first so we know we won’t get too full!
Left-*Angry Lion King* Middle-*New Yorker* Right-*TNT*

Angry Lion King – Is tempura fried, with cream cheese, shrimp, crab stick, jalapeno, house spicy sauce and eel sauce. This is my #1 roll I love the most!
New Yorker – is pretty similar to the Angry Lion King, but has spicy mayo instead of the house spicy sauce and the seaweed wrap is under the rice, where as the Angry Lion is over the rice.
TNT – spicy crab salad, jalapeno, cream cheese, cucumber, crunchies and house spicy sauce. It’s tempura fried, but has these really yummy crunchies on top. The flavor of the crab salad is delicious too!
Rock Shrimp – Sweet bay shrimp tempura, crunchies, Tony’s sauce and sesame seeds. I can take or leave this roll personally, but this is one of Justin’s favorites.
Kona – Mango, cucumber, crab stick, crunchies, passion sauce and toasted coconut. (we call this our dessert roll) A new favorite we added to the “Favorites List” last time we went!

It was super yummy and just the right amount of sweet.

The passion sauce was divine!!!!

The only thing that would have made it even better…. was if they added more fruit and would take out the crab, but it still was amazing!

Two cut up sushi rolls, one with yellow sauce on top (kona) the other with white sauce on top (winter) at Tony's grill and sushi bar in Layton Utah. — The bottom roll is the Kona, see that mouthwatering yellow passion sauce?! mmm heavenly! The top roll is the Rock Shrimp (One of Justin’s favorites)

Popper – it’s tempura AND panko fried, with salmon, cream cheese, jalapeno, crab stick and topped with thai chili sauce. (The Popper is only on the dinner menu just FYI) Another new addition to the list.

It was good, Justin really liked it and would order again.

I liked it but, I’m not sure if I’d order again, but this was our last roll.

So maybe I was just super full and HAD to finish the roll so it was as tasty to me???

Four different sushi rolls, three are tempura fried and one is not — Bottom roll-*New Yorker*
Top roll-*Angry Lion King*

The one we did NOT like and was really bland was the Winter we will NOT be ordering that roll again.

A couple leaning on each a shoulder, looking happy. — The look of a contented sushi coma!

I hope you will love Tony’s sushi as much as we do!

Plus just one more… you can’t end without dessert!

La Crepe – Modern/ice cream

A woman taking a bite out of a soft pretzel, that's on a ice cream shake with a brownie, churro and caramel At la crepes in Ogden ut — Cinnamon Pretzel Shake, look at that crazy goodness!

La Crepe has that the funnest desserts! They are so HUGE, sweet and very unique HA that even rhymes! I got the Cinnamon Pretzel Shake, it was soooo yummy, but as you can imagine I couldn’t eat it all by myself, my sister helped me.

My hubby got their Bubble Waffle ohmyoreo, it was divine!

My mom got the seasonal Peppermint Shake, I can take or leave peppermint, but I really liked the flavor in this shake.

It has a yummy peppermint ice cream, with TONS of whipped cream, sprinkle, chocolate spoons and pop rocks, which was a fun twist.

The other fun thing about La Crepe was the environment, that have flowers covering the walls, they even have a social media/take pictures room, if you’re into stuff like that.
