In 1986, Brad Turner opened the first One Man Band in Pleasant Grove, Utah.¬  His business has grown over the years and he now owns the franchise.¬  "I had worked in the food industry for about ten years and always wanted to start my own place.¬  I wanted to have a visible kitchen, where you can sit in the dining room and see the chef cook the food.¬  Now we have nine One Man Bands total.¬  We have them in Layton, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Payson, Santaquin, Nephi, Clearfield, Spanish Fork, and Hill Air Force Base.¬  Soon there will be two more, but we can't disclose those locations yet," says Turner.

One Man Band is a nowadays diner.¬  "We were in the diner business before it was popular again to be a diner.¬  You know, diners died out in the '70's.¬  Then we opened.¬  We were in the diner business before Galaxy and Wingers started their diner business.¬  We serve all American breakfast, lunch, and dinner.¬  The traditional diner cuisine." says Turner.

There are a couple things that set One Man Band apart from the other restaurants.¬  "People would be surprised at our prices.¬  We are more like a full service restaurant but our plates are two or three dollars less than other places.¬  We are even cheaper than some fast food.¬  We also serve breakfast all day," says Turner.

One Man Ban is located at 97 West 100 North in Payson, Utah.¬  You may call at (801)465-0430.¬  Restaurant hours are seven days a week 8:00 am to 10:00 pm.
