When you’re craving a burger, one of Utah’s little, old-fashioned drive in restaurants is the place to go. Instead of the run-of-the-mill burgers you’ll find at fast-food chains, you’ll get juicy, delicious hamburgers made from scratch. Here’s a tiny drive in that’s one of the Beehive State’s best kept secrets.
Cluff’s Car Hop Cafe got its start in 1950, and now it’s run by the 5th generation of the Cluff family. If you’re looking for delicious, homemade burgers, fries, and onion rings, this is the place to stop. You’ll find Cluff’s just off the I-15 exit in Fillmore.

The large patio under the front awning is a nice, shady spot to enjoy your meal on a hot day, but when the weather’s cold, you can head inside.

You probably haven’t enjoyed a burger this tasty in awhile. Everything on the menu is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients; you won’t find a frozen, mass-produced beef patty here. Instead, you’ll get locally-grown beef, fresh vegetables, and quality buns on your burger.

If you love pickles, get a side of fried pickle spears with your meal. They’re tangy and delicious!

The onion rings here are particularly popular. They’re hand-cut and deep-fried with a homemade batter. Dip ’em in ketchup, or choose fry sauce for a true Utah experience.

You can always sip on a Coke while you enjoy your burger, but you really need to try one of Cluff’s fresh limes or lemonades.
