In 1930, the feisty Ruth Evans opened Ruth’s Hamburgers downtown and immediately began attracting a wealth of loyal customers (many of whom knew her from her days as a cabaret singer). Despite the restaurant’s move to a converted trolley car in nearby scenic Emigration Canyon in 1949, Ruth’s Diner remains a popular Salt Lake fixture for belly-warming, down-home eats. Whether chicken-fried steak and eggs for breakfast, meat loaf and Swiss cheese burgers for lunch, or spicy Jamaican chicken for dinner, the menu reflects its founder’s classic yet undeniably saucy personality.
