There used to be a burger drive in place north of LES on canyon road. May have been Hawkins? We went there after BYU

Ripples

May 26, 9:03am

That’s the one from the phone call but I could swear that’s a different place. I could be wrong of course

byuTX

May 26, 9:04am

Could be a different one. Do you remember where on Canyon Road it was?

sethj250

May 26, 9:09am

Maybe by the little grocery store? It’s been like 30 years so I could be way off

byuTX

May 26, 9:13am

Yeah, it was Ripples;)

CougGolf

May 26, 9:21am

It was next to Day’s Market. Definitely was called Ripple’s and definitely was

I think I’m confusing two places.

byuTX

May 26, 9:31am

It was overrated.

Superkid

May 26, 8:59am

It was fantastic. The best onion rings I've ever had. To this day I haven't been

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

May 26, 9:43am

It was fantastic because they had good onion rings? It was a greasy quantity

Superkid

May 26, 10:11am

The burgers were awesome, the lime rickeys were amazing. The whole experience

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

May 26, 10:36am

I don’t think the burgers were ever anything other than just OK

byuTX

May 26, 10:45am

Snelgroves.

Florwood

It was just ok. Kinda gimmicky. Good cheese fries though

byuTX

Hickory burger and cheese fries + dollar movie

bruincoug

I don’t. New places are better than the old restaurants.

The trolley

delinquentcoug

May 26, 9:06am

I didn’t know Art City Trolley closed. This Reddit thread is interesting

Superkid

May 26, 9:09am

Was it in Springville?

byuTX

May 26, 9:14am

Yeah. Main Street. It wasn’t very good, just unique since it was a Trolley

Superkid

CBaass

For nostalgia and family memories, Mulboons, Bella Fontana, Ponderosa, and

J-Rod

May 26, 9:11am

They still have ponderosa back East and maybe in Canada? Frontier pies was great. I think all my friends worked there

byuTX

May 26, 9:15am

Gandolfo’s- always Gandolfo’s in the basement in downtown Provo

SBB

May 26, 9:12am

Didn’t it come back? Maybe a new owner?

byuTX

May 26, 9:16am

It’s been a while so I don’t know- there was a franchise- the owner sold it and

SBB

May 26, 9:21am

There’s a Gandolfos in Orem and PG still. Amazing owner and cougar fan

kerm

May 26, 9:28am

Really? Is it like the original? I would absolutely check that out

SBB

May 26, 9:32am

Yes. Just the same. Been in PG for years

Those were awesome

byuTX

May 26, 9:18am

El Azteca. The restaurant was a family tradition, but their taco shop was also

russkiejedi

May 26, 9:18am

That was a decent place for sure. Where was the Italian place?

byuTX

May 26, 9:19am

There was one on Bulldog, but the OG was on state street in Orem, just north of

russkiejedi

May 26, 9:21am

I had a room mate who worked at the Italian Place.

mottman

May 26, 9:43am

That’s how you know it was a good place. Slovenly, unkempt sandwich maker? Yes please

byuTX

May 26, 10:46am

El Azteca was great. First mexican place in Provo when it opened in the early

vegasnative

May 26, 10:03pm

Stevenettes/Malt Shoppe or whether it was called did have great

kotacoug

May 26, 9:20am

Isn’t it a Sweeto Burrito?

russkiejedi

May 26, 9:23am

Same building. There at two or three places there.

kotacoug

May 26, 9:27am

I’ll second Stevenettes. Bamboo Hut was another go to place

ledfoot

May 26, 9:30am

49th street galleria and the The Mayan

SuperTank

May 26, 9:22am

The Mayan? Some of the worst food I've ever had on a restaurant.

fattycoug

May 26, 9:24am

I don’t remember the food. I liked the cliff divers and the overall feel of

SuperTank

May 26, 9:28am

The food just had to be mediocre to make it okay. Instead it was AWFUL

fattycoug

May 26, 10:33am

Yes. Environment was fun but the food was embarrassingly bad. Can’t believe

Burger bar is still there. Still great

byuTX

May 26, 9:41am

I’m not sure if it would make my list today, but as a cheap meal, Rice King on

russkiejedi

May 26, 9:39am

Is teriyaki stix still around?

byuTX

May 26, 9:41am

Only at lagoon, I think

fattycoug

May 26, 12:44pm

I worked close to there for 7 years and we’d go regularly.

Superkid

May 26, 9:46am

Rice King was my favorite cheap chinese place in Provo.

shakarocks

May 26, 10:16am

Rusty Nail Pizza in Provo.

Sil’s Seafood

SierraCoug

May 26, 10:09am

Stan's on 9th was underrated

fattycoug

May 26, 10:41am

Super grinders had the best sandwich I have ever had in my life still to this

boctabulous

May 26, 10:49am

I alternated between the Turkey and the pepper steak. Closest I’ve found to it is in Dallas

byuTX

May 26, 1:54pm

Ya their turkey was wife's favorite. So good. Their onions were the best.

boctabulous

May 26, 4:46pm

Docs Pizza Buffet was cheap and terrible but we loved going there. I’d go again

May 26, 10:54am

It was PizzaPieCafe before PizzaPieCafe was in Utah.

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

May 26, 11:09am

Pizza Pipeline was great student food, too.

russkiejedi

National parks, and lakes without the huge crowds
