Overview
- Yelp released its 2026 Top 100 Places to Eat on Wednesday, placing Slackwater ninth nationwide as Utah’s sole entrant.
- Yelp highlighted rotating pop-culture specials, a 15-year-old yeast starter and an extensive beer program, noting a 4.6 out of 5 rating.
- Founded in Ogden in 2011, Slackwater has expanded along the Wasatch Front to Salt Lake City, Sandy, Provo and Herriman.
- Co-owner Blake Hirschi called the recognition humbling and credited employees and customers for the chain’s success.
