Sitting at the base of the Wasatch Front and blessed with fresh mountain air, Sandy is where Utah’s wilderness meets bustling suburb.
Its food scene is both cozy and unexpected—a place for outdoor families, corporate types, and global transplants to enjoy equal measures of comfort, creativity, and community spirit.
1. Tin Roof Grill
At Tin Roof Grill, award-winning chef-driven tapas meet approachable neighborhood energy.
Start with bacon-wrapped dates, tangy shrimp ceviche, and Spanish meatballs.
Entrees range from lamb lollipops to wood-fired pizzas and cioppino bursting with fresh seafood.
The desserts—a rotating selection of cheesecakes and bread puddings—have a cult following (and frequent mentions in “best of Utah” contests).
2. Slackwater Pizzeria & Pub
This laid-back, lively spot takes pizza and beer to gourmet heights.
From their creative pies (“Buffalo Soldier” or “Thai Curry Chicken”) to the fresh salads and vegan nachos, everything is made from scratch and full of uncommon flavor.
The tap list showcases mountain towns and national craft brewers, and on trivia nights, it seems the whole neighborhood is in attendance.
3. Sansu Sushi
A standout in Sandy’s growing Asian dining scene, Sansu delivers both quality and spectacle. Sushi is generous—fatty toro, spicy tuna, crispy tempura rolls, and sashimi boats for special occasions.
Beyond the fish, there’s a full izakaya menu: skewers, gyoza, fried rice, and miso soup.
4. Granary Bakery & Café
A haven for early risers and lovers of European hospitality, Granary bakes fresh bread, gooey cinnamon rolls, kolaches, perfectly flaky croissants, and robust coffee seven days a week.
Breakfast sandwiches are towering and hearty, the pastry case is a daily temptation, and the owners insist on greeting every visitor with a smile.
5. Tandoor Indian Grill
A true neighborhood favorite, Tandoor’s menu encompasses North and South Indian classics, from creamy tikka masala to spicy goat curry and dosa.
Their naan is fluffy, their lamb korma unforgettable, and the weekday lunch buffet is a value feast.
