Patty Shack — Restaurant in Layton

First time coming here after passing it many times with my wife.

Walked in and the counter girl was nice. Being it was our first time we had some questions and she gracefully answered them.

I got a bacon cheeseburger. My wife got the pastrami burger and we both enjoyed it. I liked that I was able to add grilled onions and fresh jalapeños for no up charge . Tasted like the food was cooked fresh being it came out hot and didn’t have a long wait. The burger bun was one of those soft buns kinda like a Hawaiian role. Burger was flavorful but not greasy. I liked how it was served in foil wrap where we could food down the sides and eat without getting anything on our hands.

As for the ambience, the first table we sat at was super wobbly so we switched tables. Second table the napkin holder was really dusty which was kinda gross for us as we noticed it when we needed one while we were eating and it felt like it was going to get our food and hands dirty. We did look over at other napkin holders and the others didn’t look dusty. Though the overall restaurant felt and looked pretty clean.

Meals where convo comes with fries but drinks are ordered separately. They have fountain options and glass drink options.

Overall it was a good experience and if in the area I would...

UPDATE: Everything I said below remains the exact same! Super high quality deliciousness!

Today is opening day for Patty Shack in Layton, and I can't say enough good about this place! The energetic staff that get you when you enter the building set the tone for your experience here. This is not your sleepy-eyed franchised-chain restaurant employee. This is someone who loves their job and people.

The atmosphere is light and airy inside and unsurprisingly clean.

The thing to really write home about is the food! I love a good burger, but I never realized what I have been missing in a burger until I came here. This was truly a burger lovers place if ever there was one. The patties are hand made every day with fresh (never frozen) ground beef. And the toppings are so fresh they'll make you smack your momma! Even the pickles really impressed me as they were not too acidic like you get in a lot of places, but we're balanced and crisp. The buns were not the King and Clown's normal almost mealy buns; they were fresh and stood up to a really full double bacon cheeseburger with ease. The fries are so crisp and tasty as well, and the brownies are a real treat that you can not go without!

I heartily welcome Justin and his team to Layton and hope you are all here for...

Patty Shack has redefined my understanding of what a grilled cheese can be. The moment I bit into their masterpiece, I was transported to a world where every flavor was perfectly harmonized. The bread was flawlessly toasted to a golden crisp, with a buttery richness that complemented the gooey, melty cheese like a dream. But it was the toppings that truly set this grilled cheese apart—each ingredient was chosen with such precision and care that it felt like an explosion of flavor in every bite. From the tangy pickles to the perfectly caramelized onions, every element was harmoniously balanced. This wasn't just a grilled cheese; it was an extraordinary culinary experience that I would enthusiastically recommend to anyone. Patty Shack has set a new benchmark for gourmet grilled cheese, it tasted like it was created and blessed by our lord and savior Jesus Christ himself. I can’t wait until the day comes where I get to walk through those doors and...
