Is Lucky 13 really the best burger in Utah? Sometimes things are overhyped. Sometimes things are past their prime (me). Have no fear, although this wasn’t the best burger in Salt Lake City on this particular day, I’ll go back to Lucky 13 and give them another shot!

Reviews Summary

Lucky 13 is lauded for its delicious and creative gourmet burgers, with unique flavor combinations that keep customers coming back. Diners also praise the lively atmosphere and attentive service, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. However, some reviews mention long wait times, especially during peak hours or events, and occasional issues with parking can be a minor inconvenience.

"Great place for a burger and fries—the food was excellent, and I really loved the lively atmosphere. It’s a pretty busy spot, so booking ahead for the evening is definitely a good idea. Service was efficient, though it did feel a bit rushed at times to turn the table. That said, I’d absolutely go back. They also have an extensive beer list, which was a nice bonus! I was dubious about the pickle spears.....however you need to try them turned out great"

Iain Rundle

"The atmosphere is very pleasant, good music, the attention and service are excellent. The food is very delicious. The chips with salsa are great, I loved the chips, the burgers are amazing, the fries and onion rings are very good. I want to go back to try other burgers that look incredibly delicious."

Eduardo Espinoza

"Our server was awesome. Super nice and checked on us plenty of times. The grill staff…not so great. We waited 1 hour 30 minutes! I was baffled. Our server was so sorry but we came hungry because we wanted to eat burgers and fries and wow…waiting for so long made me just want to leave. They said it was because they were catering for the Bees so I think I wish I knew to plan around that. Definitely don’t go on game night or when the Utes have a baseball game. They had plenty of seating on a Friday. I don’t think many people waited to get in. The Bees won’t be playing at this stadium for long though so maybe moving forward most people will be good.

The food was good- I don’t think I’ll be back for a while for the food specifically. The bacon was extremely salty for some reason. But otherwise the burger itself was good. The rosemary garlic fries felt sloppily seasoned (not enough). The Cajun fries were over seasoned. I’m not trying to be so picky but I think I noticed more since the food took so long and people rave about how good their burgers are. Is it overhyped? Not sure. I definitely think these burgers are good, I just don’t know if I would go out of my way to wait an hour and a half again.

Women’s restroom is weird. The door is so high…when you sit, the bottom of the door is at your knees."

24 Best Restaurants in Salt Lake City, By Locals

Part sports bar, part happening patio, part biker destination, this award-winning burger joint just blocks from Smith’s Ballpark defies categorization. A foot-tall burger is just one of the many culinary trials that await. If you don’t feel like consuming 28 ounces of fresh ground chuck in one sitting, there are many more reasonably sized options, from the Fungus Amoungus to the Pigpen, topped with bacon smoked in-house, ham, cheddar, Swiss and Lucky 13 sauce.

Lucky 13 goes beyond a collection of draft beers and into the world of amazing burgers with quirky names such as the Breath Enhancer ($7.50). The bar is staffed with down-to-earth bartenders who are eager to chat with you while they wait for you to decide what you want to order. You can choose to dine inside at the comfortable bar, where you can watch a game on TV or check out the vintage décor adorning the walls of the bar, or go out on the patio (which is marred by the traffic on 13th South, so you'll want to sit far enough away from the street to enjoy a conversation).

7 Salt Lake City Dishes I Miss Most

Yes, I live within walking distance of the best burger in the country. But before trying it, I was doubtful it could beat any burger at Lucky 13. And even still, I find myself dreaming about Lucky 13’s Stinky Bacon Cheese burger and the way its salty peppered bacon contrasts with the rich blue cheese paired perfectly with the oh-so-lovely garlic fries and it seriously makes my mouth water.

One of my favorites is a dirty biker bar called Lucky 13 that's known for it's awesome burgers—even rad veggie burgers. It's this weird crossover between burly biker dudes and hip coffee snobs, but the food is amazing—and so is the craft beer selection. On the higher end, Pago is not casual at all, but it lives up to the price.
