A lot of character

by Joe173

This place has a lot of character, which I think is what has sustained it through the years. If you're looking for a place steeped in local tradition, this is it. If you're looking for exceptional food, there are better options.

Cotton Bottom is no longer "smoke filled" since, as of Jan 1, 2009, the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act also applies to taverns and private clubs. As of March 2, 2009 there was no detectable smoke odor.

The server was friendly, professional and efficient. I was there at 4:30pm (the bar was full and the tables about half full) and there was only one server/barkeep, but he kept up well with the patrons.

The garlic burger was above average but not exceptional. It was a little dry and lacked excitement. It had two layers of processed cheese--one orange (American) and one white (faux Swiss). It would really benefit from a thick layer of real cheese. Contrary to previous reviews, it was not served on sourdough. Rather, it was served on a large hunk of hoagie roll, much akin to french bread (only softer).

They do not serve fries at the Cotton Bottom, which I missed--only plain Lays chips. On the upside, the draft beer was ICE cold.

• Pros: Very cold beer, unique ambience
• Cons: Limited seating

Cotton Bottom beats all

by buggyburger

2 things to mention here. First, the Cotton Bottom is BY FAR one of the greatest places in the world, and trust me, being in the Navy for 20 years, I mean world. Great food, great service, great atmosphire and great staff. It's places like this that make any city great. Second, it's all about attitude when you go to a place like this. (If you drive a Volvo stay home) and let you mommy wipe your tush with a soft wipe. You go to a burger joint that serves beer and you complain that there is ciggy smoke in the air? Duh. Drive you Volvo to church if you want clean air. Our waiter was fantastic. Friendly, remembered names, orders and checked back very often. And the food was, as usual, out of this world. Trust me, if this place hasn't been featured on the food network, it soon will be. Crisp toppings, great fries all around great. How they abtain that great garlic flavor in the burgers I'll never know? Must be a very well seasoned grill? I have and always will recommend The Cotton Bottom to friends, family and strangers on the street. Friend come to town they don't even ask wher we are going to eat. And they love it. I think some come not because they like me but know that we will be eating there. Ten Stars if I could.

• Pros: All around great place
• Cons: None
