Breakfast at Ruth’s Diner in Emigration Canyon

Itinerary tips

• 1Plan for a 1.5 to 2-hour dining experience to account for the popular kitchen service and leisurely canyon atmosphere.
• 2Arrive at least 30 minutes before you want to eat on weekends, as this historic landmark does not take reservations and wait times can be significant.
• 3Bring a light jacket or sweater even in summer, as temperatures in Emigration Canyon are typically 10 degrees cooler than the Salt Lake Valley.
• 4Use the free dedicated parking lot directly across the street from the diner, but watch for cyclists frequently traversing the canyon road.
• 5Order the signature Mile High Biscuits with honey butter immediately upon sitting down to enjoy them while they are steaming hot.
• 6Combine your meal with a scenic drive further up Emigration Canyon toward Little Dell Reservoir for excellent bird watching and photography.
