Loco Burger – SLC
As I write, the vivid yellow facade of this burger biz in SLC (1702 S Main St) has now been replaced by a more sedate grey. While I’m not aware of any formal announcement from Loco on the closure of its Salt Lake location, the aforementioned respray comes courtesy of the new tenants for the spot – Beast From The East.
The Beast is Kris Davis’ ode to the East Coast via way of bread, cheese, and a grill. His signature sandwich shop has until now been operating out of Holladay’s Cruzrs Saloon (and will continue to do so, according to the company’s social media) and has been scooping up plenty of accolades along the way.
Loco Burger – massively loaded Mexican-inspired burgers – lives on, though, with another location over in Kearns (5470 S 4220 W). According to the Trib’s Sean Means, the owners are actively searching for another location at this time.
Charlotte Rose’s Carolina Rose BBQ
After some six years at their Millcreek spot, this long-lived BBQ restaurant took to Facebook to confirm October 25th would be their last day offering dine-in. The business wrote, “Hey everyone. Saturday, October 25th will be our final day as a restaurant. We will be a catering only business after that. We cannot adequately express our gratitude for your support over the years. We look forward to catering your next event. Thank you!”
The restaurant opened at the spot back in 2019, an expansion from an original location in Bountiful. Per the social media update, CRCRBBQ will live on via catering.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
