Sweet Lake Biscuits Limeade

I had a craving for a special breakfast this morning. My travels took me to Sweet Lake Biscuits Limeade.Ladies and gentlemen, if this restaurant were a book, it would be a romance novel.I received a warm, friendly welcome and was seated immediately and provided with water and utensils. The mint limeade arrived and I already knew this was going to be an uncommonly remarkable meal. A tall frosty, sugar-rimmed glass overflowing with muddled mint greeted me. I settled in and let the anticipation begin. In just a few minutes, my entree arrived. It was love at first sight.The Hoss is a large fluffy split biscuit, towered with a succulent fried chicken breast, perfectly cooked bacon strips, sausage gravy, a fried egg, and crowned with the biscuit top. It tasted as glorious as it sounds. The room is attractive, simply furnished, and very clean. Staff are friendly and eager to serve. This is not a breakfast for the timid. I urge you to boldly proceed there, hungry with anticipation, for I give this spot my highest recommendation.

My oh my! We were angling for a second visit yesterday before our flight east but the traffic gods were probably there imbibing extremely satisfying and refreshing limeade instead of minding the roads. We were happy not to feel like tourists on a recent Sunday morning when friendly staff indulged our desire for paper menus. The waitress confessed that almost every one was new (a recent expansion) and their good cheer made up for minor missteps. The biscuits! What is a word that means “more than perfect”? The hall smells like butter when you walk to the restroom. And the yogurt with fruit was far more varied than you usually see. And the limeade: my oh my!

Now with three locations including a frequently-packed space in Salt Lake City Hasen Cone’s Sweet Lake Biscuits Limeaid is nothing short of a Utah landmark, the fact that everything on the menu is made from scratch less surprising than just how good the Biscuits actually are. Begun as a Limeade stand inside the Downtown Farmer’s Market, but now the sort of spot with an hour-plus Yelp! waitlist, guests visiting Sweet Lake will be greeted by friendly staff in a sparse room where the Limeaid Bar and partially-open Kitchen are in full focus. Rumored to serve the city’s best Fried Chicken, both that and the Limeaid saved for a later date, Sunday’s order included one “Biscuit Bar” topped with peppery Tooele Valley Sausage Gravy plus Sweet Lake’s “Strawberry Tall Cake” that sees plump and buttery Biscuits Sugar-shellacked amidst Fresh Cream and locally-grown Berries. Locally sourced whenever possible, a tall glass of Coldbrew Coffee earthy with mellow notes of Cocoa, it was while waiting that Sweet Lake Biscuits Limeade’s story became all the more compelling thanks to a mission statement that pays employees real living wages while also giving back to the community through green policies.

I always leave satisfied, tummy warm with comfort food. During peak hours we use the app to get on the wait list, so we are always seated immediately. They have great hot sauce and a large assortment of flavored teas and lemonade.

My new favorite place for breakfast or brunch. They have a really fun menu with tons of great options. The portion sizes were generous without putting me into a food coma!Is a really nice environment. I met a couple of guys there for a work meeting and it was quiet enough to talk and strategize. The staff was really nice. I'm going to become a regular!
