The Junction

It’s the best burger place around! It’s lit and it has the chill park city vibe. Love the strongbow and the cowboy burger.

The Unilocal has asked me what keeps me coming back. Poutine! It is amazing. A wonderful invention that I had no idea existed until I came here. It was Unilocal that initially told me about this place and I knew I needed to try it after reading the reviews. They have some amazing pizza’s and burgers too. The wait for food can take some time, and if you order a side salad, chances are you will not get it before the rest of your food. The food is worth a bit of a wait, and if it’s busy, you may need a giant cookie for a snack while you wait. They have a frequent eater club which is great.
I will leave you with one last word. POUTINE POUTINE POUTINE., that is all

I was drawn to this place by a local radio station who was there on remote. I had the bbq pizza and garlic cheese sticks. The large pizza was very large. My family especially loved the garlic cheese sticks.

Burgers are descent a little over cooked for me and served with arugala. The poutine was good but could have a better dry made with frozen crinkle fry. Pizza was mediocre. For the price to good quality we won’t come back.

This place is amazing. Get the Diablo and the cheese fries. You won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be back. Only down side is there is no kids menu.

POUTINE ! POUTINE ! POUTINE
Bet you can’t guess my favorite menu item yet… I have had a Cowboy Burger and a Chicken club here. Both were very good. But oh that POUTINE on the side!!! I was in a state of POUTINE heaven the last time I was here, and I am not sure, but I think I told my wife I am leaving her for this POUTINE. If I remember correctly, she told me that wasn’t allowed because she already drew up divorce papers so she could leave me for the POUTINE. We decided on a three-​way and our marriage has never been stronger!

Awesome, quality driven food!!!
I love this local Joint! I was so excited when this location opened because I frequent the Kimball Junction & Heber spots… now I’ve three to choose from… booya!

Somewhat underwhelming. This seems very new and modern and somewhat pristine inside, which lends an air of sterility to it, not helped by the high-​ish ceiling and industrial ductwork. This location placement is actually somewhat odd, as there is no junction of anything over there. It’s shoved in the middle of a hodge-​podge mess of corporate chain-​y crap and may be the best of what’s over there, excepting the Popeye’s, natch, but it’s not really having to reach too high there.
Frankly, this is all kind of bland, boring food I’ve (and maybe you’ve) had a million times before. Burger is acceptable, but isn’t exactly scaling any heights and I wouldn’t drive past a Five Guys to go here for that. They have other sandwiches and salads and pizzas (and maybe those are better) as well, but there’s no one defining characteristic to this place, no specialty that I could tell on their single-​sided menu. Soda fountain goes as far as Diet Dr. Pepper and the sweet potato fries aren’t elevated to any degree at all, either.
I would consider going here again, but the location is bordering on dreadful and this is far, far away from what I would consider a comfortable or inviting place. It does have lots of beer choices, which is a plus, but having it there would be like cracking one open in the refrigerated section of your grocery, which is to say somewhat off-​putting. There are worse choices, surely, but definitely many better.

We actually wanted to stop by Phở Cali for some Vietnamese dishes. Unfortunately, it was closed for installing new kitchen equipment. FORTUNATELY, we ended up going to The Junction, which was next door.
Wow, this has got to be one of my new favorite places to get a burger!
I ended up ordering the «El Diablo» burger. It had ¹⁄₃ pound patty, cream cheese, jalapenos, fried onions, and bacon (which I opted out of).
My first reaction to the burger was it was hot! That tells me it was fresh off that fire grill! My second reaction was that it was also hot (spicy!!). There are lots of burgers that advertise as being spicy, but this one really was. The burger itself was juicy and was complemented well with the cream cheese and the yummy bun.
Second, the fries were amazing! They were so golden, crispy, and crunchy. Again, that tells me it was fresh out of the oil.
Now, it wasn’t very busy for lunch but I think that’s just because this is a new, up and coming restaurant. The area at the moment doesn’t have many parking spaces. But with restaurants like this, they’ll definitely need more!

I first ate at the junction at their location in Heber. I absolutely love it. And then they open up a new one RIGHT BY MY HOUSE!!! Couldn’t be happier. I have NEVER had a burger there that was not fresh and hot. Their fry sauce is also bomb.
I’m also a regular to this place. They recognize me when I come in and they know what I want. And today they amazed me again. I walked in and forgot my wallet… They know I come often and they covered me.
THE JUNCTION ROCKS! ⁶⁄₅ stars.

The first time I ever noticed The Junction, it was on my way into Heber. That location popped up and I made a mental note to try it out soon.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I whipped out the Unilocal app not too long ago and found this location just down the road from my house. What the what? How long has it been open? Why didn’t I know this? So many new places, so many to try.
This is their third location, as far as I know, and it’s a little bit hidden there among all the new development in Midvale.
What I like about this place is that it’s easy. It’s not trying to reinvent everything, but in doing so, it creates its own kind of uniqueness. The menu is full of classics – burgers, pizza, sandwiches, fries and none of it’s fancy. There are a few standouts that you’ll probably want to try. The garlic cheesy bread is massive, cheap, and delicious. I’m not a huge fan of crinkle fries, but theirs are as good as you’ll get for that inferior cut. Also, you may want to give the poutine a go. I didn’t order it as I was stuffed when I got here, but it’s on my list for next time.
The atmosphere is a little stark but definitely chill. A couple of young dudes were running the show, there were TVs all around, and they were really friendly about getting out our order after we made it at the counter. When you want to some good food without any pretense, it’s a solid spot.
Isn’t it about being comfortable, though? I mean, isn’t that a great feeling? Just being you, being in that space, and being happy?

Some coworkers and I picked up some food to go from here on Friday. Here is the consensus:
Cheesy Garlic Bread is the most amazing thing on the menu! It’s very delicious and well priced.
The pizzas were pretty good. There are definitely better pizzas out there, but these are still good and worth a return visit.
The burgers were delicious. They’re hand pressed and served on a delicious soft bun with fresh veggies.
The bbq chicken salad was a bust. Way way overpriced for what you’re getting. The lettuce was a crappy mix. There were only about 3 bites of chicken in the whole thing, and they forgot to put the ranch in with it. Not at all worth $ 8.
The service was great. We always get a little nervous calling in 10 – 15 orders to go, especially from a small new place. These guys were on top of it though! They were courteous on the phone, they were ready at the time of pick up, and (other than forgetting ranch for the salad) they didn’t screw up our order. This can’t be said for bigger chains we’ve been to recently. It’s safe to say we have added this to our Friday lunch rotation.

The Junction in midvale is amazing. Friendly staff great customer service and the owners are awesome. I got a pizza and wings when I was there the pizza was amazing just the right amount of crust and the marinara sauce is amazing, the wings are a good size I got the Bbq wings they were fantastic, way better then that dominos crap, oh and they cheesy garlic bread is a must have super good. Best part about the junction is the friendly environment. I will definitely be back many more times

When I saw that they’d opened a third location I about wept with joy, because it’s not everyday that I’m in Park City or Heber and I love this place so much!
The crinkle fries are perfectly crisp and awesome, but the sweet potato fries are to die for. Probably the best I’ve had. The fry sauce really kicks it up a notch though (it’s the Cajun seasoning that does it) so don’t skip it.
I love the cheesy garlic bread too. It’s not what you’d expect with a flakier crust, but it’s buttery and cheesy and well-​seasoned.
The service was really great as well. They’d run out of sweet potato fries, so they brought me what was left and made up the difference with plenty of regular crinkle fries. I was not upset one bit.
Can’t wait to come back!

I normally am not the biggest fan of comfort food, but I can’t resist the burgers and fries this place serves up.
The El Diablo burger is by far the best burger I’ve ever had, and surpasses the taste and quality of any competitor for the price point.
I recommend the sweet potato fries as your size, they’re delicious.
Their pizzas are also amazing, I love the Thai Chicken, personally.
The décor is Utah-​based and the Flatscreen TVs on the wall mean I never have to miss the game when I sneak away to my favorite comfort-​food guilty pleasure eatery! Local company, so I feel good supporting our local Utah economy!

Love this place! Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend any of the burgers. The poutine is a must, it’s a large portion, the fries are crispy and gravy is delicious.
Order at the counter and seat yourself. Perfect for large groups. Lots of TVs on every wall. Quick, friendly service.
Overall high quality pub food!

I ordered the most simple meal: cheeseburger, fries and drink. The total came to $ 10.66. Almost twice of what you’d pay at McDonald’s or Wendy’s. So I expect the quality to be on par with Red Robin or Fuddruckers.
But right off the bat, the décor is absolutely nothing like Red Robin or Fuddruckers. It’s so modestly simple. Frankly, I like it. But when you’re paying the much for a burger, it better be justified in quality and taste, if not in atmosphere.
The result: I’m torn. I thought the burger and cheese was excellent. However, I hated the bun. It reminded me if Wonder Bread. All fluff and sponge. No taste or substance. It felt so soft and absorbent, that I swear it felt like a layer of burger grease was soaked into the bottom bun. But again, the meat of the burger had great flavor, as well as the fries.
I wonder how their pizzas are? With Culver’s and Freddy’s being the competition, The Junction needs to do something to set itself apart. Because the other two are substantially cheaper.
The fact is: The Junction is nowhere near in league with Red Robin or Fuddruckers. They either need to lower their prices or up their game.

Dang this place is good! Fun, casual atmosphere, nice service, good local food. It’s quick but tastes nothing like fast food.
Husband and I shared–
Cheesy garlic bread. Comes with marinara dipping sauce, also good with the complimentary ranch they have by the fry sauce. It was really good! $ 4.99 and really a decent size.
Margherita pizza. So yummy! It’s not a traditional margherita since it has marinara but we loved it! It has some garlic sauce on top in spots and that topped it off perfectly. So good!
SBD burger with fries. Hands down the best burger we have ever had! The bun was the best we’ve ever had, lettuce was soft with the perfect mild taste, bacon was high quality thick cut and the blue cheese melted to perfection. If my husband says it’s the best burger it has to be good. He’s had burgers from pretty much every joint from Ogden to Provo. The handmade patty is thick, soft and perfectly cooked. I don’t usually like thick patties but this one was perfect. The bun was just so amazing I can’t wait to go back! Funny thing– last weekend we went to Porcupine Grill, paid twice as much for a burger. We both thought it was great and one of the best we’d ever had. This was by far so much better!
Now– go eat here! I was there at 8pm on a Saturday night and there was no one else there. It’s a new, local joint so go support them! I’d hate to see them not make enough profit here. You will not regret trying it!

I recently went to The Junction and I had their cheeseburger with fries. Their burger was pretty good, a little thicker than I expect but over all it was good, I still would like it a tiny bit thinner.
I also enjoyed their fries, they were not special but the fry sauce that they make is actually what makes it really good. It has a unique flavor that is very nice actually. I really liked their fry sauce. I also enjoyed the fluffy and flavorful buns that they have used on the burger, I thought it was a good choice.
Customer service was very helpful and very friendly, they actually helped me decide what to order and I was happy with that, and with their recommendations. This place is really good for taking your family or a group of people because they have pizza, burgers, wings, and a lot of other things to try. I think it is a smart way to compromise on what each person wants to eat.

This is the perfect lunch or dinner spot.
They have pizza, burgers, wings and salads. For my first trip I had a side salad and a personal veggie pizza.
The salad was fresh and crisp. The vinaigrette dressing was just right and the mozzarella cheese on top was full of flavor.
My pizza was cooked to perfection, the topping were plentiful and absolutely delicious.
A random thing I look for in pizza places is the parmesan cheese and pepper flake shakers. Not all are created equal. The junctions was top notch on this. The parm. Flowed freely from the shaker and was packed with flavor as was the pepper flakes.
I’ll see you again very soon, The Junction
