“ Super good! Everything I saw on the table looked like youd never be disappointed. You could close your eyes and point at the menu when ordering and youd leave happy. I had the fried chicken and ordered some beignets to go. One thing to note the bigness neither tasted or looked like beignetsthey had an almost eggy taste. However, they were still very good. Fried chicken was as good as it looked. The picture was taken after I had ate 13rd of it there were 3 pieces originally I ended up spending about 50 after tip ”
“ Great food and unique recipes. Love the vibe also. One star deducted as there was one time I was mischarged for my meal their credit card machine was down I left my card number with them. ”
“ Were so happy we had dinner here on the last night of our SLC trip! Our server Thomas took great care of us and we ordered some of his recommendations. We got the mac and cheese, wings, stroganoff, and fish chips and liked every single thing. The wings were some of the best weve had in a long, long time. We also enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. Very fair prices for HUGE portions. I highly recommend it for locals and visitors!! ”
“ I dont review restaurants very often. Just found this place on a whim and went for my birthday. Went in with no expectations and WOW did it blow me away. Very unique but also very familiar. So impressed, we will be coming back for sure. The chicken hash was such an amazing dish. And you have to get the beignets, this is a must. So lucky we found this place! Staff was knowledgeable and kind. Will be coming back for sure! ”
“ Dining at Wildwood in Salt Lake City was nothing short of a culinary adventure, with their heavenly chicken dish that had us clucking with joy and a Little Gem Salad that was, frankly, the gem of our evening. The ambiance was as inviting as a warm hug, and the service? Impeccable. Thomas, our server, was not just a waiter but a wizard of hospitality, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our spirits always high. Its not every day you find a place where the food dances on your palate and the service sparkles brighter than the cutlery. Wildwood isnt just a meal its a performance, and Thomas deserves a standing ovation. Five stars are what we give, but a galaxy of stars is what they deserve! ”
“ Loved our experience at Wildwood! It was a busy night, but they took us on a walkin....always nice to see a restaurant make that extra effort. Service from our waiter was prompt and attentive, and he made some great menu recommendations. We split the mushroom toast for an app. I had no idea what to expect, but it was delicious! For mains, my wife got the risotto and I got the fried chicken on the servers recommendation. They did not disappoint! Both were extremely flavorful, wellprepared and generous portions. Lots more we want to try on the menu, so well definitely be back! ”
“ Great little place up in the avenues. Delicious food. It was fun to see the back of house in action. Croquettes had a great curry sauce. Fries were hot and seasoned well. Risotto was a large portion delicious. Meat Loaf was a large portion and also delicious. ”
“ Food and ambiance was excellent. Chef Kurt cooks real ingredients to their excellence. From appetizers to dessert, each dish was full of flavor with beautiful presentation. The service was attentive and very kind. Its definitely worth stopping in for a great dinner experience and not looking for traditional downtown food. ”
