“ What a great restaurant. I was really impressed with their food. The staff was friendly! ”
“ Smaller place but nice. Get here early for best seating. Good variety on the menu. Got the gnocchi and the peri peri chicken. Both were really tasty. ”
“ Refreshing restaurant option in American Fork that's surrounded by chain restaurants and fast food joints. A nice menu of salads, sandwiches, and legit entrees. It's counter service but they deliver your meal to your table. I had the tri tip steak and beats and squash salad. The salad is a perfect blend of greens, toppings, and light dressing. The tri tip was super tender and flavorful, mashed potatoes were whipped nice and creamy and that broccolini ”
“ Kitchen Eighty-Eight is a fancy fast casual restaurant. My wife really enjoyed eating there and I did not. I got the burger and I thought it was very bland. I got to try some of the pork tenderloin and absolutely disliked the rub on it. For the price you're paying I feel this place is not worth it but again my wife enjoyed it so that is why we gave the four star rating. ”
“ I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. Didn't disappoint. I took my company here and I'm glad they made me look good. Great ambiance inside. Lots of natural light, a little blinding at sunset. Friendly service. Really open. I got the tri tip steak with mashed potatoes and chimchurri sauce. Delectable. I got a really good home meal here. All was warm. The broccoli was exquisite too... broccoli!!! The fried risotto are good. Not a must, but good. The sweet potato fries tho might be a must. So salty and tasty. ”
“ Wowowow food was amazing. No other way to put it. I'm a sucker for risotto and I think it was a seasonal thing. But man. Really good stuff. Their menu is a nice mix of classic and some new flavors, so a little bit for everyone. My biggest complaint was just the vibe. The food was fantastic, but it was very casual seating and difficult to find a place to sit. Having it so casual, it took the atmosphere down a notch for me. I hate when I've got a plate of warm food and I can't sit anywhere. But honestly, the meal was so good, I don't even care. I'd come back again in a heartbeat. ”
“ 10/10! Love this place. Has a little bit of a nicer vibe than a typical order and seat yourself restaurant. Their menu is amazing. Such fun and diverse options. We started with the Beehive fries and they were to die for! The Tex's Hot Chicken Sanwich might just be the best spicy chicken sandwich i've had. The bun and toppings on it were just right. The tri-tip sando was also delish! Highly recommend this place! ”
“ What is K88? It is a really nice, casual, fast, upscale dining experience. They offer really good food in almost a cafeteria atmosphere. When you first arrive you are filtered through their cashier line to order your food. Your selection are what you would find at a nicer restaurant like steak, chicken, pork with all of the sides. Mashed potatoes, broccolini, asparagus, salads and more. After you order you take your number and go sit at a table in their nicely furnished dining area and they bring you your food. There is no server, you have to get your own drinks and it's all very low key. I believe that by doing this they have been able to keep their costs down and provide good quality food. Their prices were very reasonable. At the suggestion of the, very friendly, cashier I ordered the Grilled Tri-Tip steak. Although it had more a sous vide cooking feel to it and they did not ask how I like my steak cooked it was very tender with good flavor. It came with two sauces to dip in from a selection of five. I chose the peri peri and chimchuri. I would have preferred it a little more rare, it was at least medium well, and it was only slightly warm when served, I would have preferred it warmer. I had the broccolini and a side salad as sides. All for less than $19.00. My wife had the peri peri chicken, perfectly cooked, nice and tender. Good flavor with rice that was also very good. I tried their lemonade with vanilla and rosemary. The rosemary blended surprisingly well, even with free refills I could only do one glass as it was very sweet. But it was excellent lemonade! ”
