You’ve heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I’m no nutrition expert, but I think that starting your morning with a tasty (and often unhealthy) breakfast platter of pancakes, biscuits and gravy or waffles is always a good idea.

I’ve compiled my list using review sites such as Google, Yelp! and others. This list doesn’t RANK the breakfast spots - they’re listed alphabetically. Utah has SO many great breakfast spots that I couldn’t include them all. If your favorite isn’t listed here, give us a recommendation in the comments.
