Leatherby's

5 out of 5 forks

Leatherby's Family Creamery

1872 West 5400 South, Taylorsville, UT

Ice Cream

Saturday 8:50pm

$18.52 for three 

 

Once again we dragged our vegan friend along, wondering if our favorite ice cream shop could please him.  And they did!  

 

Even though the restaurant was extremely full and very busy, we were seated within 3 minutes.  This is a place that is quite hopping on weekend nights, and this makes for a very loud gathering.  If you don't mind the noise, you'll be in for an amazing treat.  We think the goods are well worth the noise.  

We were served by Traci, who happens to be part of the family who owns Leatherby's.  We could tell since her photo is on the front of the menu with the rest of the Cooley bunch.  She was quite friendly and attentive. 

Kim ordered Rob's banana split with no nuts, Kelly ordered Traci's peanut butter cup with pecans, and Kendall ordered Sue's ice cream soda with raspberry sorbet, pineapple syrup, and no whipped cream.  Regardless of the packed restaurant, the order came fairly quickly, and they got our special requests just right. 

Our treats totaled $18.52, which does not seem a lot once you've tasted the goodness.  We left feeling very filled and quite satisfied after this wonderful adventure.  Highly recommending this place and will surely be returning!  I think they have another set of regulars.

Guadalahonky's

5 out of 5 forks

Guadalahonky's Restaurant

136 East 12300 South Draper, Utah

Dinner

Saturday 7:20pm

$35.54 for three

 

This is actually one of Kelly's favorite restaurants, so obviously it's going to get 5 forks!  Kim may have given it four forks, but only because the air conditioning was broken that day and it was quite warm.  The cleanliness also wasn't up to her standards, but almost.  

We took our vegan friend, Kendall, this time, so there was going to be some proving to do.  They did quite well.  We arrived at 7:20 and were seated in three minutes, even though we requested a circular booth rather than what was readily available.  Our server was Rochelle, and she was nice and attentive, and apologized for the broken air conditioning.  

At Mexican restaurants, Kim is hard to please with the chips and salsa, but Guadalahonky's passed her test.  The salsa was quite good, in her opinion, which means it tasted right and was not too spicy.  Readers should be aware that "spicy" to Kim is likely not spicy to most.  It's always a treat when the chips and salsa pass the Kim test! 

 

Our orders were hard to fill, but Guadalahonky's was nearly perfect.  Kim ordered a pulled beef chimichanga with enchilada sauce and found it quite delicious.  Kelly ordered a veggie chimichanga (this is one of the few places she can get one of these) without peppers and onions, and the filling is actually from a mix.  The cooks had to pick out the peppers and onions to fill this order, and they did it!  She also ordered it with guacamole on the side and no sauce.   Kendall ordered veggie fajitas with cheese and sour cream on the side (to share with Kelly, of course).  This restaurant filled the requests without a hitch.  We were served our meal at 7:49, only having to wait 20 minutes.  

The only complaint was when Kendall had to order more tortillas for his fajitas, as they only delivered three with his order.  He paid $1.49 for three more.  

Our total bill was $35.54 for three entrees, no appetizers and no desserts.  We felt it was a decent price for the meal we received and enjoyed.  This is definitely a place we'll visit again!
