Ripple's Drive Inn - On Canyon Rd in Provo, UT

A pretty typical cheap drive inn place. They serve burger, fries, corn dogs, shakes, fish n chips, etc. The food is pretty good, especially for what you pay; however, you are getting what you pay for and it is a drive inn. There are better places to eat nearby if you are willing to pay a little more. There are also more expensive places nearby that aren't as good.

Magleby's Fresh - On University Ave in Provo, UT

This place has amazing breakfast!! Probably super fattening too, but as good as it is, who really cares?

Gandolfo's New York Deli - On the corner of University Ave and Center St in Provo, UT

This is a great place with good prices on a fairly large selection of delicious sandwiches. They have some pasta sides that are good too, but the selection is very limited. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious, probably my favorite menu items, though I can't speak as to how healthy they may or may not be...

It's in a basement, which gives it an interesting subterranean deli ambiance that I really enjoy.

There's also a newer one at 3230 N on University Ave

Kneaders Bakery - On Bulldog Blvd in Provo, UT

This is a great soup-sandwich place - good breads, good meats and greens, great desserts, good service. I'm very picky about turkey, but they even do that right. I've never had a bad experience here.

Café Zupas - On the corner of University Pkwy and 2230 N in Provo, UT

A really good, although fairly typical, soup-salad-sandwich place. I refused to go for a long time because the patrons seemed to be of a stock that I prefer not to be around - the sort of neanderthal that travels in herds and know very little about anything other than how to consume. It usually isn't a problem because that sort tend to stick to places like Chili's and Appleby's. However, once I went here, I realized that I had been missing out.

Despite the fun name and the Ciabatta bread they make their sandwiches with, the food is more American than anything else. They use some good ingredients and have some great menu items. Their desserts are dang good too.

Malt Shoppe - On University Ave in Provo, UT

I like their food, but I love their malts. It's pretty typical food for a burger-and-shake kind of place, and the quality is on the higher end compared to other similar places in the area. A lot of people complain about the place not being "clean" but it never bothered me. I didn't find the state of things concerning. If it was a five-star restaurant I would expect more. The hot, dry Utah summer makes this a great summer-time place.

Yelp

Brick Oven Restaurant - Near the corner of 800 N and University Ave in Provo, UT

A Provo classic. It's pretty basic and generic - pizza, pasta, salads, etc - but still pretty good. My favorite items are the Ranch Chicken Pizza and the oven-fired garlic bread. The M&M cookies are delightful as well. Try the Brown Cow if you want a drink-treat.

Shirley's Homemades Bakery - On Freedom Blvd in Provo, UT

This place has changed a lot, but their baked goods are still delicious. Once upon a time, they had a sandwich area where they would build you a custom for a very reasonable price. The sandwiches were among the best in town. It was a sad day when they were done away with. Their pull-aparts are to die for...

Yelp

Hickory Kist Deli - Near the corner of Center and Freedom blvd in Provo, UT

This is one of those places where you get a list of items available - bread, meats, toppings, dressings, etc - and you check what you want. I've read some unfortunate reviews, but last time I was in town, this place was still delicious. I hope people are just being haters and they haven't really destroyed another good place. I remember the breads and meats being fresh and not tasting like preservatives, and the service being good.

Yelp

The Pizza Factory - On University Pkwy in Provo, UT

A Provo classic and one of the first nicer places I ate at in this town as a starving college student. On par with Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill, etc. It's reasonably good food, but pretty generic in terms of the menu - pizza, pasta, salads, etc. Get some breadtwists, they are easily the best part of this place.
