The new Earth Fruits Nuts Restaurant in Provo!

What's for dinner tonight? Well, it may not be dinner, but it's the perfect after dinner restaurant. Perhaps you've heard about the new restaurant on University Ave. and Bulldog called Earth Fruits Nuts. Upon entering the restaurant, you realize that the feel is very retro. The ceiling is unlike any other restaurant ceiling you've experienced. Located in the middle of the store is an extremely large selection of toppings. My personal favorite were the cheesecake bites and graham cracker powder. The process is simple, you grab your 8 oz. cup and fill it up with yogurt and toppings as full as you want it. I've only been once, so I can only recommend what I ordered. Fill up your bowl with a moderate amount of tangy yogurts (I recommend the Pomegranate flavor + mango). Then, mix in a good amount of cheesecake bites, graham cracker, and juice poppers.

Be careful not to fill it up too much, you pay by the weight and it is extremely easy to order more than what suffices. So go, try it out, it's one of the best restaurants in Provo!

Texas Roadhouse Restaurant

What’s for dinner tonight?  How about trying Texas Roadhouse, one of the best and most popular steak places around.  I say popular because The Roadhouse is always full.  Luckily, they handle the crowds well.  This is a GOOD sign.  When I go, I usually get the 12 oz. Rib-eye for $15.49 and then split it with my significant other.  We each get one delicious side and our fair share of amazing free rolls with delicious honey butter.  Also there are free peanuts! I promise you that you will not leave this restaurant hungry even if you are splitting the meal.

Settebello Pizzeria Napoletan Restaurant

Wondering what’s for dinner?  I highly suggest a fun night in downtown Salt Lake at the new Settebello Pizzeria restaurant. It’s a fun spin on a pizzeria.  They cook the pizzas in a fire stove and the chef is from Italy.  Needless to say, the pizzas are very authentic.  It has fresh, thin crust with delicious ingredients.  Most of my party ordered the Margarita Pizza, which was delicious.  I highly recommend it.  I ordered the Davola, and it was very tasty.  It’s a little spicy and has all sorts of peppers and spicy sausage.  Not great for the waistline, but terrific for a special occasion or fun date night. 

We had a huge party-around 20 of us- and our server was quick and very nice.  They were very gracious in accommodating such a large party as well.  Pizzas come in a “personal” size and cost about 12 to 14 dollars per.  Most couples could share one pizza, which is pretty phenomenal for dinner downtown.

Zubs Subs and Pizza Restaurant

I have found it. After searching for my entire life, I have found the perfect sandwich place. This is what's for dinner tonight and every night you want a sandwich.  These are the BEST sandwiches anywhere, better than what I have had in Europe, California, or Chicago.  It is one of those places that has been there forever and everyone in the area knows and loves it. It is not a franchise, there isn't even a dining area so you just pick up your sandwich and go.  Five dollars for a 6" may seem steep but that 6" is almost as much food as an entire foot long anywhere else. The restaurant is located in Utah Valley, specifically, in Springville--just a 12 minute drive south of campus.

SmashBurger Restaurant

If you're in the mood for a burger and fries then we have the perfect restaurant for you! What's for dinner tonight? A Smashburger and Smashfries at Smashburger. Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing that impressed me was the ambiance. Teetering between the high-class and the fast food settings, the restaurant itself portrays affordable sophistication perfectly. The second aspect that truly appealed to me was the service. The workers are highly service-oriented. They allow you to be seated while waiting for your food and are careful to ask you for your input on the quality of the food. It is clear that they value your experience there.

The food itself is tremendous. The fries are, hands down, the best fries that you'll find in Provo, UT. I could not believe the tasty flavor that I was able to enjoy by eating these fries. In fact, I was disappointed when I finished my fries. The hostess was kind enough to walk around and ask me how I was enjoying my food. Upon mentioning the splendid taste of the french fries, she told me how they were prepared. The fries are seasoned in garlic, thyme, and rosemary while being tossed in olive oil. I was happily surprised that they were tossed in olive oil instead of another substitute oil. Olive oil, as you may know, is much healthier than any other oil which fries are usually cooked in.

The burger was delicious as well! Admittedly, I did not choose my ideal burger--but that was purely my mistake. I don't traditionally love barbecue sauce on burgers, and my burger had BBQ sauce. So, words of weary, order what you prefer in a burger before experimenting with new kinds. However, the barbecue sauce notwithstanding; the burger was of an extremely high quality. The patty itself was juicy and tasty. It was not dry and flavorless like many other burgers around Provo, *ahem* 5 Guys *ahem*. My favorite part of the burger were the crispy, small onion rings in the burger. They complemented the flavor perfectly while adding a different element of added texture. It was the perfect touch to the perfect burger and fry meal.

The best part about the meal was the value. If you go to BYU Athletics (one of Smashburger's principal sponsors), you can get a number of coupons that allow you the purchase of free Smashfries with the purchase of a Smashburger. There are no tips required, though there is a tip jar at the cash register--so you can leave Smashburger by paying a total of $6.00ish dollars. Without the coupon, you'll only pay $9.00 for the entire meal. A great deal and highly recommended!

Sizzler Restaurant

What's for dinner tonight? The best gourmet burger in town! Just head on down to the nearest Sizzler restaurant. In my opinion, it's one of the most underrated restaurants in Orem or Provo. In Provo, there's one on S. University Avenue, and in Orem there is one on State Street. Sizzler is popular for their all you can eat salad bar, but don't waste money there. Flip to the burger section of the menu and feast your eyes on the Mushroom Swiss Burger.

Perhaps the best part of your meal comes even before you get your entree. A large supply of garlic toast will be served to you throughout the meal. The toast is delicious, savory, and salivating. Be careful not to eat too much of this so as not to ruin your appetite for the rest of the meal however!This is particularly difficult considering the deliciousness of the toast. The burger takes about 10-15 minutes to arrive so make sure to bring a date, group, or just a friend.

Now to the burger itself. Forget about the side of fries, they're okay; they're also not the reason why you order the meal--the burger is. The burger is the tastiest burger you'll ever eat. The key to the burger's salivation is the bun. The bun is lightly toasted with butter and garlic so as to make it soft and juicy. Within the bun you'll find thinly cut onion rings that accentuate the taste of the bun and burger. The portobello mushrooms are juicy and are neither dry nor flavor-eaters. The Swiss cheese also is another tasty treat. It's of a high quality and will add the needed cheesy flavor to the burger. Taken all together, this burger is the tastiest, juiciest, and hunger-quenching burger you'll ever eat. The best part about it all is that it's only $6.99! After tip, you'll spend just under $10.00. A very affordable dinner for all you gourmet dinner lovers.

Mi Ranchito Restaurant

What’s for dinner tonight?  Mi Ranchito, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Orem or Provo. It's a nice sit-down restaurant with an authentic Mexican feel to it. This is no taco-bell; their food is good and the price is even better. The service is more than adequate as well. For years I have gone there on double dates or other excursions.  They give you so much food that it really forces you to split a meal. Even after splitting, you might even have left over food.   If you're looking for a really inexpensive, but still amazing dish, I recommend getting the beef/chicken nachos; they cost $10.00 and feed up to four people comfortably.

Carrabba's Italian Grill Restaurant

Whats for dinner tonight?  One of the best restaurants in Orem Utah, Carrabba's Italian Grill, located next to the University Mall.  When we go there (which is often) we order the Italian Chicken Pizza. It's one of our favorite meals and it is absolutely delicious! The pizza is topped with grilled chicken in an Italian-style sweet and sour sauce with pine nuts, scallions, romano, fontina and mozzarella. It only costs $10.00, so we usually just split one pizza and eat their amazing free bread.  Including the tip, we usually get out of there for under $13.00. Aside from the incredible food, the service at Carrabba's is outstanding as well. Each time we go, we are seated quickly and the waiters/waitresses respond promptly to our requests. We get to eat like the rich even though we're simple college students. The place is simply amazing. So, if you want a great dinner tonight, then try the Italian Chicken Pizza at Carrabba's Italian Grill! It will not disappoint.
