A Crown-Worthy Legacy
A Crown-Worthy Legacy
It all began with a passion for flavor and a dream to create more than just food—an experience. From our humble beginnings as a small hot dog stand serving burgers with heart, to becoming a local hotspot, our journey has been all about bringing people together over great food and unforgettable moments. Every step we’ve taken is fueled by a love for craft, creativity, and community.
As demand grew, the original building was replaced with a larger space, and the menu expanded from 65 items to over 100—burgers, fries, homemade onion rings, chicken, fish, dinners, salads, and a touch of Greek flavor, including gyros, souvlaki, and lemon rice. Everything is made fresh daily, with burgers grilled up front where customers can watch the action.
Our signature? The original Crown Burger—a juicy quarter-pound cheeseburger loaded with pastrami, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Thousand Island dressing on a sesame bun. It’s a must-try and now a Utah classic.
Today, Crown Burgers is still proudly family-run, with 1 to 5 family members working in each location. No matter which one you visit, you’ll find fresh, made-to-order food, friendly service, and a team that treats you like family.
