The Scene
A well-appointed patio area at the back of the pub is a treat during the summer months. An oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle, the patio plays host to live musicians on Friday nights throughout the summer. A healthy mix of 20- and 30-somethings gather at this original Salt Lake City brewpub for business and pleasure.
The Food
Pub fare like pizza, burgers and fish-and-chips mix with more ethnically diverse offerings served fresh from the kitchen. Squatters also has 12 of its own microbrews on tap. While you'll always find staple beers, brewmaster Jennifer Yohe likes to keep things interesting by seasonally brewing specials, nitro beers and cask-conditioned ales.

After being ignored by the hostess for 5 minutes, we sat down to dinner. I ordered the bourbon burger, but was disappointed with the quality- a processed, pre-made and frozen patty with a cheddar single and a dry bun. There was no bourbon flavor in the burger at all, and it was a low-medium quality burger at best. The steak fries were mushy and cold, but edible with enough salt and pepper. Service was poor, but that may be because it was fairly busy that night, being at the end of the Sundance Film Festival. The beer is good, but other local brewpubs (Redrock and Bohemian) have better beer and excellent food for the same price.

My husband and I frequent Squatters fairly regularly. Or, I should say we used to. I enjoy their turkey burgers. When they are done correctly, they are flavorful and incredible juicy. I generally choose the side salad rather than fries (fries are bland, even the garlic fries.) They ALWAYS insist on plating the salad with the burger. This would not be a problem if the salad were not sitting underneath the heat lamp until it is hot, wilted, and disgusting. Service - the service is poor and unattentive. I cannot tell you how many times we just have our menus thrown down at us while our waitstaff sips on her drink behind the bar. We can sit and gaze longingly at our food under the heat lamp while the wings become soft and lukewarm, or our sald become nice and warm. The hostesses and the wait staff are not concerned with customer service. And apparently as the service continually slides downhill, neither does management. I like the food and the location but the spotty quality and horrible service make it a difficult recommend.

A bad food night. My friends said their hamburgers were pallatable, but the rest of the meal was a total disaster. The food is bland, and uninspiring. I couldn't eat the pathetic artichoke dip- heavy cream served with very stale bread. The order was wrong, for everyone at the table. A true disaster of an evening. So bad, I didn't bother saying anything to the manager because there is no way this resturaunt can redeem itself. I will never go back.
