This local favorite operates as a scratch kitchen where every slaw, sauce, and salsa is made in-house, so you’ll taste the quality in every bite — from gourmet burgers and creative tacos to Pacific Northwest–inspired (Street Eats originally started as a food truck in Seattle) classics like clam chowder and fish & chips. Street Eats blends casual street-food culture with real culinary craft, making it perfect for lunch after a hike or a fun dinner with friends while exploring downtown St. George.
5. Seven Brothers Burgers
Originally founded in Hawaii, Seven Brothers was actually started by a family of 7 brothers, and the local charm still clings to every new location. Their unique twist on a burger joint has taken the state of Utah by storm, with 8 locations either open now or coming very soon, including one in St. George. Combining Hawaiin and Soamoan flavors and the classic burger, each of their creations is one-of-a-kind! The Teri-Samoa burger, for example, features a thick burger patty dipped in thick caramelized teriyaki sauce and piled with crispy strips of bacon, grilled pineapple, American cheese, and house sauce.
