Little Wonder Cafe

We ended up traveling home from a family reunion on my daughters 6th birthday, so to try and make it special we stopped in Richfield at the Little Wonder Cafe. The food was wonderful, and the service was awesome! 2 years later, my daughter still talks about her "best birthday ever at the little wonder cafe". They helped us make what could have been a forgotten birthday amazing. In fact, we will be stopping there again this weekend on our way home from Boulder Ut, and probably on our way there too. My daughter is super excited! Hoping for just as good a visit as the last time, and Im sure it will be. more

If you want a home cooked meal this is a great place to go. not alot of money for good meal. the service is great and friendly. more

Possibly the worst food experience I've had. After a day of driving through the beautiful scenery of southern Utah, this meal was a sour end to a wonderful day. We ordered a vege-burger and a regular burger. The vege-burger was moist, dank, and tasted the way they did 14 years ago before people figured out how to make them palatable. The regular burger was obviously frozen, as it had the edges of a squat cylinder. What was left of the disc after the cooking process was a tough disc of cylinder. My wife and I returned to our hotel room to recuperate after this meal. Our stomachs were left in tatters by this meal. We went out of our way to give a local non-chain cafe a chance, and were not rewarded by our efforts. more

Craig Paterson is the owner and operator of the Little Wonder Cafe, a Richfield institution for decades, and a few years ago, he and his wife started a travel agency. They have a lot of experience traveling, for example, they recently got back from a cruise to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. They have a web site which can be found here: http://www.littlewondertravel.com/. They are affiliated with Morris Murdock (the two SLC behemoth travel services have merged), and so any deal offered by Morris Murdock is available through Little Wonder Travel. In fact on their web site, they list great weekly deals to several of the most popular destinations: Disneyland, Mexico and an inexpensive cruise. Plus their services are free to you! Highly recommended. more

What do Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, and Susan Saint James share in common? A love for the Little Wonder Cafe! Located just off I-70 in the middle of Main Street USA, uh, Richfield, Utah, the cafe has been offering "Home-style food when away from home" since the 1920's. The full menu is available at their website at http://richfieldmall.com/littlewonder . Order anything -- it will be perfect. The specials are always great, with generous portions, and the Early Bird Dinner, served between 3-5 p.m., is a particularly great value. Gourmet magazine, and many other food reviewers have recognized nearby Mom's Cafe as one of the nations best cafes, but locals will tell you that where Mom's is good, Little Wonder is *great.* Every single little thing has been so well-thought out -- from the batter on the Tempura Style Cod, to the pickled beet slice in your salad, to the flavorful homemade-that-day soups -- that food critic and weary traveler alike is sure to be impressed. Very casual, homey, and clean, with great, genuine service. more
