Any place worth visiting has food it’s famous for – Philadelphia has cheesesteaks, Chicago has deep-dish pizza, and Maryland has crabs. In Utah, the unofficial state food is the pastrami cheeseburger. Many proprietors attempt the perfect blend of meats and warm melted cheese on a buttery bun, but none do it better than Crown Burgers.

Crown Burgers is a small chain in the Salt Lake City area. All locations boast the same exceptional pastrami burger.

The hands-down favorite at this Utah establishment is the “Crown Burger.” It features delicious char-broiled beef, melted cheese, and of course, pastrami.

For variety’s sake, you don’t always have to have your top-notch pastrami on a burger. Some patrons love it solo in a more traditional sandwich.

Many say the best finish to a Crown Burger is a cold, thick milkshake. Try the Oreo, pineapple, or caramel shake.

It should be noted that Crown Burgers offers an extensive menu of tasty fare beyond their incredible burgers. Souvlaki, halibut, and vegetarian options are available if you simply must forgo the Crown Burger.

Though Crown Burgers pepper Salt Lake City, unique elements in the pristine stores help customers remember its more humble, family-owned beginning.
