Yelp review: “This biker restaurant has a great feel to it and our kids really enjoyed it, too! They loved their sliders, fries and the soda dispenser with never-ending choices, but they really seemed to get a kick out of seeing all the bikes in the shop being worked on.” – Stephanie C.
8. The Italian Place
The Italian Place, on 1086 S. State Street in Orem, is open between the hours of 11 a.m. and 10 p.m.. They accept call in orders, but do not deliever. Pictured is a ham sub sandwich with melted cheese, tomatoes, pickle and onions.
This chain of Italian style subs and cheesesteaks is a favorite of many locals, and it’s easy to see why, with such favorites as the classic Philly cheesesteak and their delicious pastrami.
Location: 569 N. State St., Lindon
Yelp review: “The Italian place is the best sandwich shop in the area. I've had a variety of their subs and have never walked away disappointed. The sandwiches are always packed with meat and delicious cheese.” – Nate B.
7. Island of Hawaii Restaurant
The Haupia Samcakes at Big Island Sams are a coconut lover's dream.
Formerly Big Island Sam's, this is another favorite for Polynesian cuisine. Island of Hawaii brings Asian-Polynesian food together for a delicious meal. Everything from Kalua pork to poi and even spam musubi.
Location: 133 S. State St., Lindon
Yelp review: “I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!! I wish I lived closer so I could go more often. I love how quirky and tropical the decor is inside. Kim, the owner, is so friendly and really passionate about what she does. She works very hard to make sure the food is amazing and that the customers are happy. The food is incredibly authentic and addictively good!” – Dannie F.
6. Elevated Grounds Coffee and Espresso

Coffee options in Utah County are pretty narrow, so elevate your options with Elevated Grounds. Their coffee is fantastic and their breakfast sandwiches are filling and delicious.
Location: 333 S. 520 West, Lindon
Yelp review: “This little coffee shop makes the best caramel lattes I've had in Utah County. I am so glad I found it on Yelp! It is down the street from my new office, and I come here way too often. It's a cute little shop, and they are only open during normal business hours, as they target the offices in the area. The couple of morning baristas I've had before are also great! Definitely better than Starbucks, so if you need a coffee during the day, hit up Elevated Grounds!” – Grace H.
5. Dalton’s Steakhouse
The Prime Rib plate with onion rings at Dalton's Steakhouse in Lindon.
No city in Utah is complete without a quality, family-owned barbecue or steakhouse. Dalton’s Steakhouse really takes the cake, with classics like a patty melt and roast beef sandwich, all the way to their staples, like ribeye steak and fillet mignon wrapped in Applewood bacon.
Location: 131 S. State St., Lindon
Yelp review: “Amazing! The food is good, they're generous portions, great prices. The service is incredible, the server was so knowledgeable and kind. The owner came out and said hello, brought us chicken, wanted to make sure everything was good. Such a great meal and a fun night and experience, we will be back again and again.” – Amanda E.
4. The Smoking Apple
The pulled pork sandwich with corn, cornbread and salad (front) and the cheese steak sandwich with sweet potato fries at the Smoking Apple BBQ in Lindon.
Nothing says quality like true dedication to a craft. At the Smoking Apple, each cut of meat is smoked for 12 to 14 hours, whether that’s the meat on your Philly cheesesteak or a rack of ribs.
Location: 70 N. State St., Lindon
Yelp review: “Found this place accidentally by driving by it looked nice so we swung in. We were immediately greeted by really nice help, and were offered samples of whatever we wanted to try. Ended up having the sweet pork which was amazing all the sides were delicious they even gave us a free drink. Super friendly mom and pops place with awesome food! We will definitely be going back.. we need to keep places like this in business.” – Bradley G.
3. Tacos CDMX
Carne Asada Tacos
The CDMX in Tacos CDMX stands for Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City). The quality of these street tacos will make you feel like you’re transported to Mexico City, with tender birria, delicate carne asada, and fantastic pescado.
Location: 569 N. State St., Suite D, Lindon
2. Oteo
With a classy yet casual vibe, you can almost feel the love and attention in every bite of Oteo’s quality Mexican food. Whether you’re in the mood for steak empanadas or molote, it’s pretty hard to find something at Oteo that doesn’t make you want to get up and salsa at your seat.

A charcuterie board at the Manhattan Restaurant.
You don’t have to go to Manhattan to get New York-style eats. During the week, everything from chicken picatta to sweet potato gnocchi is ready to thrill your taste buds. On Friday and Saturday, brace yourself (and your wallet) for an exciting, custom six-course meal, for $50 a plate.
