  I had the turkey sandwich and my wife had the sprang chicken sandwich. We shared and I tell you – they both were excellent. We are from out of town and I have heard about Even Stevens so we saw the location as we were driving in Sugarhouse and we pulled in and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. I’m going to search out other Even Stevens.This location is in an old garage – but it is a fun setting, with vintage decor and amazing old time photos or the area. The washrooms are 1st class and clean (that’s important to me in an eating establishment). We worth a visit.

  I’m not normally a sandwich person, but I was intrigued by this place that gives back to the community and seems so involved! I decided to meet a friend there for lunch and check it out and I was very delighted. My companion was a bit late so I got to spend some time seated taking in the fun atmosphere. I love their interior design that’s modern and industrial with the garage doors and car rims as decor with toolboxes used throughout. But it was fun too with pops of lime green and orange with the cartoony graffiti everywhere.I noticed what looked like the manager getting involved everywhere. He was bringing food out to the patrons and being so friendly and thoughtful to them, particularly to a family that had a few small kids. He was chatting with everyone and the people that I thought might have been good friends were new patrons that he was just THAT nice to. It’s so refreshing to go to a place where you feel like you are really wanted and appreciated there. I’ll keep going back for that atmosphere.And thankfully, since I’d already decided to come back again and again, the food was delicious. I got the pot roast sandwich with a side of chips (though it was quite a tough choice when their salads sound amazing). The sandwich was delicious, the roast and the pepper jelly pairing perfectly for a juicy sweet, savory, and spicy bite. The au jus was clever and tasted wonderful especially on that colder day. My only complaint (a small one) with the sandwich was that my sourdough had holes in it, of course, and the sticky pepper jelly and roast juices were getting ALLLLL over my hands and unfortunately trying to use the napkins to de-stickify my fingers didn’t help at all. Maybe they should consider having wet ones around for sandwiches like that or serving them wrapped inside parchment paper so our hands are protected. Otherwise I loved my lunch and the chips were a light and perfect side for the heavier sandwich.I came back again for a weekday breakfast as I couldn’t resist bringing another friend and their breakfast menu caught my eye. I ordered the stuffed french toast as I was intrigued by the banana cream cheese filling. But unfortunately I wasn’t as impressed with my breakfast as I was with the lunch. The banana cream cheese filling just seemed to be bananas between two slices of bread. I didn’t get any cream cheese flavor and I was rather expecting it to be mixed in a little better- more like a mashed banana and cream cheese mixture- so it wouldn’t slide around (as of course it did since bananas are slimier). It was also swimming in the blueberry compote that was a bit too sweet for my liking and overwhelmed the whole plate. The bread wasn’t anything spectacular and seemed to have more of a savory flavor than a sweeter breakfast flavor that would’ve been nice. Overall it was fine, but not something I’d come back for. Maybe it’s a personal preference thing. That’s just my two cents.But you can bet I’ll be returning for lunch! I’m so impressed with this place, for their obvious kindness that I find to be the star in all that they do. I’m so glad to have such a giving place like this in my neighborhood and that when I enjoy a meal there, I can be happy knowing that my indulgence helps to feed others.
