Blue Plate Diner

So, there is this really interesting little restaurant in SLC, it is called "The Blue Plate Diner." When my niece, Vanessa, graduated, we went there to eat. Aaron and I have wanted to go back when it was just us, or just our little family, so we went last week. We were not disappointed. It has a funky atmosphere that I appreciate, sort of a "ma & pa" type place, but not quite, it is actually hard to explain, you need to see it to understand it I guess I could kind of compare it to the old "Bill and Nada's." But then again there is really nothing like "Bill & Nada's." Or even "Ruth's Diner" up emigration.

Anyway they have three sorts of french fries that you can choose from: shoestring, steak or Cajun. The shoestring fries are just like regular fries, the steak fries are just like steak fries (imagine that) and the Cajun fries are HUGE, a potato cut into fourths, fried and salted with a Cajun salt, Aaron seemed to like them. The kids and I got the shoestring fries. The kids got Chicken Nuggets (of course), I got a Caprese type sandwich that was huge and wonderful, I loved it, I ate the whole thing. Aaron got a Reuben Sandwich.

The food was good, the menu is very interesting, a large variety of stuff. Apparently they are famous for their breakfasts. And you can't really ask for better service. I would suggest checking this place out if only for the interesting atmosphere.
