Reviews for Cotton Bottom Inn in Holladay, UT
There?s a crazy statistic about over 80% of business failing after two years. What does that say about a place celebrating... their 70th anniversary? They have a VERY small menu. Which should tell you one thing: they know what they?re good at and theydo it well. I got the single garlic burger which is actually 1&1/3 patties on a fantastic French hoagie roll. Fries are solid.But chips are too! Great bottle selection. Didn?t try a cocktail, but will next time. The coolest part? They literally met usin the parking lot and escorted us in. 10/5 stars.

We were really let down. This place came highly recommend, but we won?t be back. The BLT had three small pieces of bacon. It was... very dry and flavorless. Fries were just okay. There were flies everywhere and a very sour smell coming from the back of thebuilding, which didn?t help the atmosphere or our stomachs. The beers were warm - we had to sit outside because of a very longwait time. It?s in a cute area, but the price for what you?re getting (three dry slices of bacon on mediocre bread) is plainbad. I can?t recommend, unfortunately. Read more
I had heard legends about the famed Utah garlic burger, and heard that the Cotton Bottom Inn is THE place to try them. I was... almost turned away for the $18 price tag on a double, but am glad I gave it a shot. The menu is simple. The burgers come withchips or have an upcharge for fries. I should have stuck with chips, as the $3 upcharge was not worth it for the relativelysmall fry portion. Thankfully, the double garlic cheeseburger was huge and awesome. Literally about 3x bigger than a normalcheeseburger. It's served on half a loaf of french bread. It tasted delicious, and not as overpowering of garlic as I hadfeared. The restaurant is a total dive, though nicer if you sit outside. They don't have a ton of seating and were doublesitting parties together at picnic tables-not a fan of that at all. Service was poor. Our waitress was rude. You get your ownwater and boxes, which she did not even mention. I asked for cheese on my fries (reasonable, I'd think, for the large upcharge)and was told they didn't do that. I thought she was kidding, but she clarified the cheese "wouldn't melt" unless I got chilicheese fries. All around poor service and very dismissive. The burger is still worth it, but maybe get it to go! Read more
Naturally, I tried the garlic burger and it did not disappoint! Large portions, fast and friendly service, and great atmosphere.... Sitting inside and out. Front patio and back. The prices are reasonable. This little hole n the wall is a great hang out Read more
The garlic burgers are so freaking good. They added fries to the menu recently and they are amazing as well. Always good cold... beer and great service. The burger in the picture is a little more than half of a half of the double garlic burger !!! I hopethey have these burgers in heaven!!! Read more
Service was stellar! Garlic burger left a few things to be desired. Good ambience. Very interesting pocket of the valley here. I... bet the Nimbys have blocked multi-family zoning and development so many times lol. Biker-bar adjacent Read more
Had Mother?s Day lunch here. Great atmosphere with amazing live music on Sundays. Limited vegetarian options, but the impossible... burger and house salad were really good. The basket of fries was a huge portion. Read more
It was amazing, garlic burger is huge we should have ordered a single. Staff are really friendly, and it feels like home.
