Let’s be honest here: not all burger places are created equal. Most fast-food chains offer up thin, gray patties of mystery meat, so we’ll pass, thank you very much. When you’re craving a juicy, delicious burger with gourmet toppings, you need a local place.
Jack’s Tap House in Salt Lake City creates hand-crafted burgers with quality ingredients. Everything on the menu is amazing, but for a truly unique meal, sink your teeth into the Mormon Burger. Check it out:
You'll find Fat Jack's Tap House right in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, and it's a favorite with locals and visitors alike.
True to its name, Fat Jack's Tap House has plenty of beer on tap. Choose from 16 different beers, most of them from local brewers. Many more beers are available in bottles, too.
What pairs perfectly with an ice-cold beer? Burgers, of course! The burgers at Fat Jack's aren't your typical fast-food fare - they're gourmet creations made with fresh, creative ingredients.
While the burger menu has some classics like a BBQ bacon burger and a pastrami burger, it also has some unique offerings. Our favorite is the Mormon Burger. It includes bacon, pepperjack, Jack'd sauce, grilled onions, and funeral potatoes.
In case you don't know, funeral potatoes is a tradition Utah dish. It's a casserole made with hash brown potatoes and other savory ingredients. Folks of the Latter-Day Saint faith often serve it at funerals, which is how it got its name.
It turns out that funeral potatoes are the perfect topping on a gourmet burger! And did we mention that these burgers are made from 100 percent Niman Ranch beef and perched on a buttery, toasted brioche bun? You'll be in pure burger heaven when you sink your teeth into this Mormon Burger.
You'll want to come back several times to try all the tempting burgers on the menu. The PB&J Burger is just what you think it is...it's topped with peanut butter, grape jelly, smoked bacon, and grilled onion. It sounds weird, but you just might love it!
No matter which burger you choose at Fat Jack's, you definitely need to get some fries. They're serious about their fries here, and they have 10 different varieties. From Beer Cheese Bacon Fries to Greek Fries, these fries aren't just any old side-order.
