Over the Counter Cafe

Ate here with another couple on a Sunday late morning. The wait wasn’t too bad. Such a cozy breakfast spot! Food was super fresh. Friends got the spicy sausage scramble, and I got the veggie scramble. Highly recommend a scramble as they put your omelet scrambled on top of the potatoes! Coffee is great here as well.

Our experience for brunch was very disappointing. It was extremely loud (mostly from the open kitchen area) and cramped. But we stayed for the food. The omelettes we ordered were subpar. The veggies were rather large and hardly cooked. The egg portion was extremely small compared to omelettes we've had before. Aldo very bland. The potatoes were real, but really bland, dry and a little burnt. But the weirdest part was getting a croissant that had been toasted. So dry and disgusting. Wish I could say it was a good experience, but not our cup or tea. Wouldn't recommend to anyone who shares similar tastes.

My girlfriends came to SLC for a quick visit. We knew we wanted brunch so we headed to Over the Counter Cafe for our morning meal. We came at the right time which was around 10:20. There was a good size crowd already but we were able to find a table for us. We got coffee started while we breezed over the menu. For breakfast today I snagged the #2 with a side of country gravy for my home fries. Man it was perfect! I got all my favorite things. Home fries, eggs and bacon. Everything was cooked nicely! The bacon was crispy. The home fries had crunchy pieces and soft pieces mixed together. I love country gravy on my potatoes and this country gravy was so good! My eggs were jammy in the middle. Everything was so fabulous! I had a great meal here with my friends. A core memory for us. C

As a Salt Lake City local, this is one of my favorite greasy breakfast spots! You can never go wrong with any of the skillets or scrambles, and I love that any omelette can be made into a scramble. I love the OTC skillet! And I usually like to sub the bread for a multigrain pancake. Their pancakes are perfection. You have to know going in that the environment in there is a little hectic and crazy… But the service is always so fast with constant attention to making sure you have everything you need. After shiny places keep getting built, this is always my favorite.

Banana nut pancakes were really good. They are huge and I’d never order more than one. French toast was good but a little undercooked and mushy in the middle. Home fries were barely cooked so just raw potatoes
