When a basic car or truck is purring alongside effortlessly, there’s no need for an overhaul.
It is the exact same situation for the Burger Quit in Layton, which celebrates classics, both equally in cars and trucks and delicacies.
After 30 a long time in business enterprise, the restaurant changed palms final April.
The new proprietors, the Wright relatives, saved the 1950s retro decor, the oldies qualifications music, the significant burgers and luscious shakes, even the monthly “Cruise Night” typical car exhibits.
In point, the restaurant’s most current Cruise Evening usually takes put Wednesday from 6-9 p.m. hosted by JC Hackett and Wasatch Rods & Customs.
“We want to continue on this legacy to provide Layton for the next 30 a long time,” reported Andrew Wright, a husband or wife with his brother, Nik Wright, and their mom and dad, Karen and Brent Wright.
The setting up at first opened in the 1970s as one particular of the Utah-dependent Dee’s Hamburger Drive-Ins. Just after Dee’s shut its generate-ins, the making was leased by a Hardee’s rapidly food franchise in the late ’80s.
In 1993, Mark and Deanna Theobald opened it as Burger Quit. When it arrived time to retire, “They needed to sell it to a family who would continue to keep it as a household-run organization,” reported Karen Wright.
At the very same time, the Wright family members was looking for a cafe to run alongside one another. Brent had been a locomotive engineer with Union Pacific Railroad, and worked 10 decades at Tony’s Pizza in Ogden. Karen experienced labored at Hill Air Drive Foundation, as did Andrew, who has a master’s degree in business enterprise. Nik graduated from the Le Cordon Bleu School of Culinary Arts in Scottsdale, Arizona, and labored in the cafe/meals sector.
“This has normally been a aspiration of ours, to individual a restaurant as a spouse and children, so we made the decision to chase the dream,” Andrew Wright stated.
As an alternative of starting off a new restaurant from scratch, “We required to mitigate some of the chance with a legacy cafe that has a crafted-in fan foundation,” extra Nik Wright.
So far, so good. “Layton is really supportive of compact enterprises,” Brent Wright reported. “This community goes out of their way to aid them.”
“I’ve been most surprised that every time we update our signs that we’re working a specific, these types of as lemon freezes, the general public seriously responds and arrives in for them,” stated Nik Wright. “When we place out an announcement about our Flat Tire Breakfast Burrito, a guy came in and explained he’d been coming below for years, but had no thought we served breakfast.”
The Wrights have ongoing with the Burger Stop’s coverage of receiving its meat and bread sent contemporary every working day, said Andrew Wright, introducing that the restaurant employs community vendors these as Farr’s ice product.
The bacon cheeseburger is the major-seller on the menu. It is a 1/3-pound patty topped with bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce and “Cruiser sauce,” the restaurant’s variation of fry sauce.
Pastrami burgers are a uniquely Utah issue, and “I would put ours up in opposition to anybody else’s pastrami burger. It’s truly excellent,” reported Andrew Wright.
There are a dozen various sandwiches, together with the Philly cheesesteak, with steak strips, Swiss cheese, inexperienced peppers and grilled onions on a hoagie roll.
Karen Wright’s favourite is the turkey bacon avocado sandwich, which comes with a alternative of white, wheat or a hoagie roll.
The prime-providing breakfast product is the meaty Flat Tire Breakfast Burrito, stuffed with ham, bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns and cheddar.
“We have a total breakfast menu, with omelets and pancakes, and we promote fairly a number of scones,” said Karen Wright.
The Large Block Breakfast Burger is a burger topped with a fried egg, so theoretically, you could have breakfast and lunch at the very same time.
The Wrights are continuing the famous Deuce Problem. It is a monster of a burger — a stack of 6 1/3-pound patties. All those who can try to eat it in just 30 minutes get a T-shirt and their photograph taken, “and then we drive you to the medical center,” quipped Nik Wright.
Menu tinkering has been minimal. Chicken wings — recognised as Warm Rod Wings — were being additional. Nik and Andrew established a riff on fry sauce with a smoky barbecue taste. Known as “Burnout” sauce, “It’s been a hit,” explained Andrew Wright.
With Layton High Faculty just a block away, students are a significant portion of the lunch hurry. The spouse and children installed a self-purchasing kiosk, “so children can skip the line and pay out at the kiosk. It allows us transfer them though more quickly,” Nik Wright mentioned.
The Wrights are also expanding their catering functions, including running a concession during previous summer’s Ogden Twilight live performance collection.
There also may be more Burger Stops in the foreseeable future, teased Nik Wright. “We are actively planning for number two,” he stated.
