Dead & Gone: The St. George Restaurants We REALLY MISS!

If you've been in St. George for a while, you probably have fond memories of a few restaurants that are no longer here. Maybe you cry yourself to sleep at night that you can't taste them again. That's perfectly normal!

Here are the Restaurants that the REAL OG's Of St. George miss really bad!

SHONEY'S:

Shoney's was a little restaurant where Cafe Zupas is now! They had a Breakfast Buffet and it was AMAZING! This was... at least 20 years ago, and I still think about it today!

Burger Place:

The Burger Place in Washington was an absolute staple in Washington! It's been torn down and is now a car dealership? Or maybe it's a dirt lot? Either way I wish it never left us!

Godfather's Pizza:

Godfather's Pizza was a pizza place at the same location of Cafe Sabor. They had a Pizza Buffet with TONS of different types of pizza. It was awesome. Before Godfather's it was Andelin's Gable House! That location has some amazing history!

The Boat Chinese Restaurant:

I have NO CLUE what the real name of the Chinese Restaurant that was here in the mid 90's, but it SLAPPED! I used to go with my dad and sister every Tuesday night! It's now St. George Auto, located right next to the Picklr, formerly Rite Aid.

TwentyFive Main:

TwentyFive Main was a cute little cafe on Main Street in St. George. It's only been gone MAYBE two years, but a lot of people really enjoyed it. They had cupcakes, salads, sandwiches, pastas, and more. It was great, and it's missed!

Weinerschnitzel:

That's right, St. George used to have a Weinerschnitzel! I miss it so much, cheap hotdogs, chili cheese dogs, corndogs. It was good. It's currently La Botana on St. George Boulevard, next to PinkBox Donuts.

One Hot Grill:

One Hot Grill was a really cool burger place on Tabernacle close to Judd's. They had burgers, hotdogs, and sandwiches. It's currently Kairos Mediterranean.

Fazoli's:

Pasta? Yum. Drive-Thru's? Yum! That's what Fazoli's was. An Italian restaurant with a drive through. Fast food Italian food. It's now Five Guys, across from Chick-Fil-A on River Road.

Sconecutter:

I've seen a lot of people mention that they miss Sconecutter! Sconecutter was here for YEARS, and I never ever saw anyone inside. I was shocked they were in business. They weren't selling drugs right? I mean, their tagline was "Let's Get Sconed!"

Scaldoni's:

Confession! I've never been to Scaldoni's before, but SO MANY PEOPLE nominated this place, saying how much they missed it. I remember my aunt was a server there for a while! It was located in the Phoenix Plaza off of Sunset Boulevard.

Orange Julius:

Orange Julius was in the Food Court at the mall. The Food Court that LITERALLY doesn't exist anymore, directly outside of Bohme and Dillards. I miss you, Orange Julius.

Sizzler:

Yes, I know Cedar City still has Sizzler, but St. George used to have one too! Right on St. George Boulevard. The current location is home to Alta Bank and looks NOTHING like a Sizzler!

JB's:

St. George had a JB's, and even Hurricane had a JB's. It was like, a little Dennys, kind of... But they had a buffet! The breakfast buffet was MY FAVORITE! The JB's location is currently home to Black Bear Diner on Main Street & Bluff.

2 Fat Guys Pizza:

2 Fat Guys Pizza had a HORRIBLE location, but AMAZING pizza! It was in the little shopping center to the south of Walmart in Bloomington. Hungry Howies and Peppers Cantina are in the same spot that 2 Fat Guys used to be in. It was wood fired pizza, and delicious. After 2 Fat Guys left, MULTIPLE pizza places came into the same location and just couldn't make it work.

Charlie's:

Charlie's was a cute little restaurant that had ice cream, and soup, and sandwiches and always had a jukebox playing music. I miss Charlie's ALL THE TIME! Especially when I get sick. I miss that Chicken Noodle Soup. Charlie's location is now home to Swig on St. George Boulevard.
