Lamb's is Utah's oldest continually operating restaurant. The restaurant has remained unchanged since 1939. The booths, tables, wainscot, back bar, counters, counter stools, light fixtures and steam table, which are still in use today, came from a restaurant previously located on Main Street, known as Gunn's Cafe. One notable exception, the chairs in the main dining room, were imported from Vienna by Mr. Lamb in the 1920's. The antiques which decorate the restaurant have been collected from around the world.
Consistently good food and excellent service has made this the place to dine downtown for more than 60 years.
The Scene
The dining room has rich red colors, dark-wood wainscoting, chandeliers and antiques. Small intimate booths, white table linens and uniformed servers add to the atmosphere. Have a seat at the long counter or opt for a table.
The Food
For breakfast, there are several omelettes offered, as well as specialties like grilled red snapper and New York steak and eggs. It's also one of the few places around that you'll find steamed finnan haddie, a traditional Scottish breakfast dish made with haddock. Lunch and dinner favorites include the barbecued lamb shank and fresh grilled rainbow trout. There are also steamed frankfurters, grilled calf's liver and spaghetti with Lamb's meat sauce, in addition to several sandwiches, salads and daily specials. Save room for the famous rice pudding or decadent chocolate cake for dessert.
