    I'd like to consider myself a connoisseur of sandwiches and this place can put the meatball in meatball a sandwiches. The atmosphere is perfect for dripping marinara sauce onto your chin -which is great because once you take a bite of the perfectly cooked meatballs perfectly paired with a thick crusty bread.

    I've loved this place a lot over the 5 years I've been eating here. I also don't have any issue with successful businesses expanding. But just like Cafe Rio, as soon as they opened more locations the quality of the food has gone down. Whether it's a change in suppliers, process or lack of attention to detail, the quality here has dropped off significantly. Bread was dry and crumbled to pieces. Meat was flavorless, tough, and chunky not shredded. I'm not writing them off completely but the last 2 times I've been tell me the magic has left the family.

    The sandwiches are great. I always order the philly steak with grilled onions. The jalapeño sauce is awesome. I do worry that I am going to die every time I do eat here. Don't go if you are on a diet. Ha ha.

    I've been going here for years and have been a loyal cheesesteak fan! I always get the 12-inch Philly Cheesesteak with no additional toppings besides the Jumpin' Jalapeno Sauce. The sauce is mandatory! I have turned my car around to return to the restaurant to get sauce if I somehow forget it. I can't eat the entire 12-inch sandwich because it's huge but I always look forward to my leftovers. The fries are lightly seasoned and fried to golden perfection; I drool just thinking about how delicious they are. The restaurant has expanded to accommodate for the constant stream of customers, so finding a seat isn't as hard as it used to be. Parking is never an issue be it in the dirt lot behind the restaurant or on the street. I usually buy to take home to eat. The website is not the best at processing orders; I have shown up to pick up orders and the staff has no idea what I'm talking about. I'm so obsessed with the cheesesteaks that I won't dare try their other menu offerings. Sorry meatball subs, I'm in love with the Philly Cheesesteaks.

    After a disappointing initial visit, I decided to give Moochies another try. I've always been a fan of a good Reuben and decided to go out on a limb and give theirs a try. Seeing a Reuben on a 12 inch sub doesn't exactly build confidence, but after the first bite all of my doubts melted away. It's a great twist on a classic and if you haven't tried their jalapeño sauce, you haven't lived. You can buy it by the bottle, which I'm not ashamed to say, I have multiple times. If you're in the mood for a flavor-filled Reuben/sub hybrid, look no further.

    I'm not saying I had the meat sweats, but I did have protein induced systemic perspiration. Came here with 4 people for lunch and had the philly cheese steak, BBQ chicken, and meatball sub with fries and onion rings. You know, the American way. Cheese Steak was the star. The flavors will overwhelm your guilt. Try it.

    AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! Ordered 16 sandwiches for my office (last of several large orders for the staff), most of the office had already ate their sandwiches when one of my coworkers discovered the roach in his half eaten sandwich, needless to say we threw away the remaining sandwiches. I called and asked to speak to a manager to get our money back, and that's where the fiasco with this restaurant began. Not only did we find a cockroach in the food but the management was rude and called me a liar, even though I have photographic evidence of the cockroach in the cheese steak sandwich. A simple "sorry here's your money back" would have sufficed and no Yelp review would have been written, but Don was argumentative and rude. Do yourself a favor and avoid an illness by not eating here.

    Okay. You don't go here to eat healthy. Let's make this clear. With a name of Moochie's Meatballs, I would also hope this isn't your expectation. Now that common sense has been laid out, let me talk about their Philly Cheese Steak. I haven't been to Chicago or Philadelphia for the real deal, but until I go there, Moochie's Meatballs wins for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. A great blend of steak, peppers, mushrooms, and a melted cheese that almost seems like a condiment. Top notch fries, fried ravioli, and two different types of fry sauces. The location is even more special. A previous house, gutted out, and turned into this delicious restaurant. The parking area turned into a seating patio... Oh, and there's Red Cream Soda to take you back to your childhood. Yum.

    Eggplant parmesan sandwich is amazing! My son's loved the meatball and Philly. Both the SLC and Midvale locations menu and quality are the same. The ambiance in Salt Lake is a better locale in a turn of the century home to fit the Triple D moniker.

    Our group tried both the meatball and the Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Both were equally amazing! The sweet potato fries with the jalapeño sauce are highly recommended!

    Our office ordered lunch from these guys, and we found a cockroach in one of the sandwiches. Now, I am a tough guy and can handle the occasional bug, but when we called back, they claimed we were lying and put the bug in there ourselves. If they would have just said sorry we had a bad experience and tried to rectify it, no worries, but they were so rude about it. Yes, Moochies was rude about the bug they put in our sandwich. They earned this one star.

    Chicken Parm sandwich was wicked dry and lacking of flavor. People love it, we did not.

    I was so stoked to check this spot out while visiting. Look at the name "moochies,' plus it was on television, it cannot possibly go bad? But could the media be wrong and over hype a joint, surprisingly yes it can. The spot wasn't terribly bad, it was okay. Digged the fried ravioli accompanied with marinara sauce, that's all it had going for it. On a rainy day, we ventured into our old territory. It's mostly street parking and located in a mixture of business homes. Ordered the Ruben sandwich which was oozing with cheese. Unfortunately the cheese was too over powering that I could barely savor the pastrami. The bread was a bit chewy, nice for those that are teething. The cookies on sale were okay, can't go wrong with plain ole chocolate chip right. The service was prompt and quick, typical fast food service. Oh well, at least I tried the talk of the town. The crowd was a mix of old and new kids, nice little spot with an outdoor patio. Although I suggest they play some ambiance music, listening to orders can get rather bland. The seating is fit for small people, not that I'm big but prefer space enough to stretch. Its not ideal for big groups or families, at the end it was just okay.

    Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my face. After reading all of the reviews and seeing this restaurant featured on the Food Network Channel via "Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives", I had to check it out for myself. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was going to be great--seeing as I was hit with a wall of people waiting to order and a wall of delightful aromas as well. I went with a bunch of friends; we ordered many a sandwich, cut it up, and became professional taste testers. Here are some adjectives to describe it (shout out to my high school English professor for teaching me what an adjective even is). Philly Steak and Cheese: --Heavenly. I'm fairly certain angels shouted praises as I took my first bite. --Beautiful. The craftsmanship in each bite; the layering of mushrooms, peppers, and meat really make it picturesque. The Atomic Meatball Sub: --Mindblowing. The Jalepeño and Marinara sauce is what makes it so. --Messy. That's the only downfall, by the end of my meal, I had gone through 13 napkins and ended up looking like The Joker. Marinara lipstick anyone? We had some other sandwiches--a Ruben and Deli--but they did not hold a candle to those previously mentioned. TIPS & TRICKS: * Try the fried ravioli, it's pretty good for an appetizer; as well as the Birch Beer fountain drink. "Mmm" to it all. * Their outdoor seating is nice and fairly new, it's perfect--especially on warm days like today.

    First time here. I was torn between the meatball sandwich or the Philly cheese steak. I decided to go with the Philly cheese steak and it didn't disappoint! The bun was nice and soft. I can tell it was fresh too. I liked that the bun was crispy on the outside, but not so crispy that it would cut the roof of my mouth as I chewed. The steak had a nice flavor and was very tender. I also ordered the fried ravioli. They reminded me of mozzarella sticks, except in the shape of ravioli. They were good, but not something I NEED to order every time I'm here.

    Great meatball sub. The bread was spectacular and the fries were great. Servers were friendly and there was plenty of seating. Only gave 4 stars because while it was good, it wasn't anything particularly unique or memorable.

    I asked my foodie friend about her favorite restaurants in SLC, and she said only, "Moochie's." Now I know why. I never crave philly cheesteak, but the day we went in there it was the right day. I know they are famous for their meatball sub too, but we weren't wanting the mess so we split a 12" Philly. It was grilled with onions and topped with melted American cheese on a perfectly crispy-on-the-outside-squishy-on-the-inside hoagie bun, and it was one of the best things I've tasted in a long, long time. Perfect ratio of meat to bread and huge portion size (though we were starving that day and both ate our share of the cheesesteak and the fries!) They have "special" fry sauce that they included with the side of fries we ordered, and we also loved the spicy sauce they include with it too (not sure if that's for the fries or the sandwiches, but it was great with both!) Love the pepper bar next to the drinks where you can turn up the heat on your sandwich to your liking. Individual packets of ketchup are helpful for to-go orders and they also have a giant vat of self-serve ketchup. This is silly, but I love that they give you big, reusable yellow Moochie's cups when you order a fountain drink - every time I see it in my house it makes me crave that cheesteak again (great marketing ploy!) The outside of the restaurant is unassuming and a little run-down looking, but isn't every neighborhood staple like Moochie's? The inside is basic but clean, with small tables and those hard plastic booths. There is also a patio with picnic tables for warm weather which seems very nice. We did takeout which seems pretty popular. Already dreaming about the next time I can justify eating a giant sandwich with meat and bread...

    This 3 star review is based on the Chicken Parm 12" splitter today. I was disappointed in the chicken parm sandwich. The chicken inside was cut into very thin strips and barely had any breading. I actually had to open the sandwich and check that it was breaded chicken and not grilled. I love big giant breasts that are breaded nice and crisp. The bread to meat ratio was way off too...way to much bread for the little amount of meat. The bread is 5 star though...don't get me wrong. The service was friendly, efficient and fast. I have had great salads and cheese steaks here. And were else can you get Tastycakes?? I'll be back, but not for the Parm.

    The best Philly Cheesesteak you can have in town. First of all the bread that is used is pretty good. It holds the sandwich very well. All sandwiches are prepared freshly to order. You customize it the way you want by adding or taking certain ingredients. Also for those who are carb watchers, you can get a Philly cheesesteak without the bread. Basically comes in a container and eaten by fork. Good way to enjoy something delicious without all the extra carbs. And last but not least, their jumpin Jalapeño Sauce is just AMAZING. Really tasty specially when added to any meal. Also their 12 inch sandwich is huge. Perfect to be split by two people. So check out Moochie's and you will not be disappointed.

    I'd heard lots of people rave about Moochie's and their "authentic" cheese steaks. I'm always a little apprehensive when people tell me that they've found good cheese steaks in Utah. I spent a summer in Philly and fell in love with cheese steaks, each time I have one here I'm always disappointed. So, it was with great trepidation that I ordered a cheese steak. I had been assured by one of the employees that the owner is from Philly, so the cheese steaks are genuine and high quality. When I took a bite into it I was woefully disappointed. The meat was lukewarm, it was very flavorless, and the bun was as hard as a rock. I would say that I was surprised, but this has become a regular occurrence with cheese steaks in Utah. I had ordered their cheese bread as well, just in case their cheese steak sandwich was disappointing. The bread was very, very, soggy, with no cheese on it. The service was also lackluster. It took a very long time for the sandwiches that we ordered to get to us, and the woman manning the cash register severely botched charging one of my friends for his food. She spent five minutes trying to fix it, all the while insisting that it wasn't her fault that the wrong amount had been charged. During our whole time waiting for our order we could hear her loudly excusing her mistake to her co-workers. "It never does that, something must be wrong with the software." blah, blah, blah. It didn't exactly lend itself to the atmosphere. The foot long cheese steak costs $12, and it's definitely not worth even $5. Oh, and their doors violate safety codes, and slams loudly whenever someone comes in and out but that's neither here, nor there. I can't believe that they have the gall to call their food authentic. It wasn't even mediocre, the service was bad, the location was very rundown. TL;DR: Don't waste your time. Expensive, tasteless, bad service, and rundown. If you want a real, quality, cheese steak then go to Vito's in Bountiful.

    Ladies and bros, this is it. This is the place. When 'what's his name' came into the Salt Lake Valley and proclaimed that "This is the place", He literally meant "This is the place where the best meatball sandwich restaurant will be located." Trust me, I am a historian (no I'm not.) This place is OFF. THE. HOOK. Not only did the king of Bro's himself, Guy Fieri, give his backwards glasses spiky haired two thumbs up, but SO DID I. And my opinion is clearly just as or maybe even more important than his. Their bread is soft on the inside, with a little crunchy outside. Their meat is tender and full of flavor, and their sauces are incredible. They have awesome and inexpensive combo deals, and delicious sides like POTATO BANGIN' SALAD, POWER SLAMMING MACARONI SALAD, and TOASTY HOT FRENCH FRIES. Let me give you another selling point, even though I know you're already 5000% down with coming to this mecca of meatballs. THEY HAVE RED CREAM SODA. I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING YOU.

  • Thomas N.

    Definitely one of the more authentic cheesesteaks joints I've found outside of Philadelphia. Still prefer Pats King of Steaks over this any day but I'll have to settle for this. My one knock is the price!! It's even more expensive than the OG steaks in Philly steaks. And each additional topping is a dollar or something such a rip. Recommend if you're in the mood for one of these

  • Jessica H.

    Little upset by the service I just received, this is one of my favorite places to eat. I ordered 2 Phillys and a bottle of jalapeno sauce and I asked the employee if I could have some extra sides of the sauce and she said "you want more sauce you have a whole bottle...." and I said "oh sorry does it cost extra?" She replys "well no" I'm on my lunch break at work and didn't want to open the bottle until I was home to use on other meals I make at home and didn't want it to spill somehow in my car since there is no way to cap off the lid. I don't see why it matters weather I have a bottle or not if the sides are free... didn't find it necessary. The girl I talked too had pink hair I hope you don't keep her employed there I'm sure I'm not the only person she's been rude too. Thanks!

    First thing I'll say, I didn't try the cheesesteak so I have no comment on that. Yet. I'm a big advocate of supporting the small local places. The venue is old but unique. The seats were full in the main building so we ventured into the neighboring house that's been converted into table space. Only downside there is that someone from your party has to wait in the main building to grab the food. I went for the 12" Atomic Meatball sandwich. It felt a whole lot bigger than 12"! Which is fine by me (however next time I will do fine with a 6"). I don't have meatball subs often, so I'm no expert on them, but it was fantastic! And not too spicy either. As you would expect, keep your wet naps handy or you'll be a dripping mess of sauce. The fries were great, especially with their jalapeno fry sauce.

  • Erin J.

    Love this place. It's small and looks kind of run down but don't let that fool you. I always get the Philly cheesesteak and it NEVER disappoints. We got our son a grilled cheese and it's probably the best grilled cheese I've ever had. Top notch food at this place!

  • Emma B.

    Their meatball sandwiches are legendary! They're bursting with flavor. Its impossible to eat one of these babies with out getting at least a little goodness on your self - it's a super messy sandwich, but totally worth it. I wouldn't recommend this place for dates, however it's a perfect joint to hit up with friends.

  • Todd S.

    Damn it. Let's just start with that. The food was amazing. The Philly cheese steak was incredible. Hot fresh bread creamy cheese sauce and tons of meat onions and Peppers. The jalapeño sauce took this one over the top. I would buy that sauce take it home and try it on everything. Service was fast and friendly despite being very busy. You may have to wait a bit for a table but it's totally worth it. You will want more. Definitely money!!!!

    I always look for local, Mom and Pop, independent businesses when I travel and Yelp hooked me up with this one. Walked in, looked around and realized this place was also featured on DDD - score! Ordered the authentic Philly cheese steak with mushrooms added and a side of pasta salad. The sandwich was good - the pasta salad was crack in a cup - I would come back just for that. Kudos to Moochies for keeping it real in their food and "ambiance"!

  • Lisa N.

    Diners, Drive-in's and Dives directed us here and we certainly grateful they did! We loved the sandwiches and the ever popular meatball sub, was just what we were craving. Try the fried ravioli, similar to a moz stick but in a square shape. Try to philly steak and cheese but get the white cheese. The original has a yellow cheese and I think a swiss or moz would be better. Not a lot of space to eat inside, but they do have some outside tables if the weather is nice. Bring your friends, order a variety and be a professional snacker!

    My order was mistakenly taken as a call-in. After waiting 25 minutes and seeing a steady stream of orders, I asked. They apologized and gave me a free brownie. No biggie The place has a very local vibe. Had meatball sand with fries. Pretty messy sand - plan to use a lot of napkins - and don't wear anything white . As far as taste - average. My sandwich did sit a while but it was pretty mushy. Meatballs were good - not over the top, but good. I added grilled onions which were very nice. Sauce tastes like something from Sysco canned foods - not my favorite. Fries were on the small side - but jalapeño fry sauce is very unique and tasty - I really liked the fry sauce. Free brownie was really good. It's a local college hangout, very young and very busy. Not a chain so it's authentic and fun. I like the atmosphere but the food was just average. If you want local meatball sandwich I think Capitos is a little better. Capitos bread is thicker and crunchier - holds up better. But Caputos sandwiches cost much more and are much smaller. If you like to eat a lot for a little and taste isn't your top priority - Moochies is for you.

    Got the 12 inch classic philly cheesesteak, it was delicious. It's a small building with not many tables and don't sit by the door because the door slams shut every time. It's $10 for a footlong, a little pricey but it was good. They charge extra for more vegetables which is stupid. Would I come back? Probably. Little expensive for my taste though.

  • Sheyenne S.

    Sub par at best. I paid 15 dollars for a foot long philly cheese with mushrooms and a side Mac salad. The sandwich was one of the WORST Philly cheeses sandwiches I have ever had, and my Mac salad came from a box and was incredibly small. They are using their exposure on the food network to give subpar service and even worse quality food.

  • Louisa M.

    Guy Fieri has let me down in a BIG way. While I try to seek out places featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and the Food Network, I'm sad to report that I was served one of the worst cheesesteaks in my life at Moochie's. Yes folks, one of the WORST IN MY LIFE. Maybe I should've ordered the meatballs instead. There is no way these sandwiches are even close to the "best cheesesteaks;" this claim will not even hold water in Utah, which can be a culinary wasteland. Don't be fooled by the cool, divey vibe of this place. The atmosphere looks like their food would be killer tasty but it's the exact opposite. The employees on the night we were there were less than friendly. I ordered a large cheesesteak without the bun, low carb style. It wasn't a problem to do that here. The problem was the poor quality and bland taste of what I was served. Truly delicious cheesesteaks start with super high quality shaved meat. This meat was nasty. Very fatty and chewy and just horrible. The cheese and onions were okay but my meal was in dire need to some sort of seasoning -- give me ANYTHING for some flavor! The cook was so careless that my cheese wasn't even melted. Boo! It makes me melancholy to picture people eating here, thinking they are getting an "authentic" Philly cheesesteak. That makes the foodie and inner fat kid inside me cry for days and days. To add insult to injury, the prices are very high for what you get. Guess they are trying to wring as much money out of their customers like me who come in once for the novelty factor. I will not return to Moochie's.

    Moochies. Yes. My family is from Philly, so they're pretty harsh judges when it comes to Philly cheesesteaks. But we love this place! (Which is a HUGE deal coming from them.) For Utah, Moochies is as close as it gets to an authentic cheesesteak. The food is so good here. I've liked everything that I have tried. My favorite is the roast beef sandwich. The bread is yummy, and everything seems to be freshly made. I've never been a fan of spicy things, so I have yet to try their famous Jalapeno sauce. However, the husband cannot get enough of it. The atmosphere is fun and lively.The employees have always been friendly and helpful. It has been extremely busy every time I've visited, so I would suggest sitting outside if it's not too hot. I definitely recommend this place. Go give it a try; you will leave happy.

    I feel like this place is a bit overrated. The philly cheesesteak was not very good at all and the sauce for the meatballs tastes like came out of a cheap can. It is also on the pricey side for what you get, and I don't mind spending money on a good meal. The redeeming things are the bread is delicious, as are the fresh fries and the jalapeno sauce.

    On the list of my top ten places to eat while in town because my sister said so ( and frankly she's quite the boss of me) ... I stopped by moochies to catch up with old friends and grab a bite. I tried the phillycheese steak no whiz cheese for me just American loaded with peppers onions and shrooms. It was delicious juicy and pretty good flavor. However they have some lighter tangy fry sauce or this mayo jalapeño concoction that will shut you up as you devour your hoagie. Naturally I bathed my cheese steak in the jalapeño.... Dipped the crispy battered fries in fry sauce and quietly stuffed my face while everyone else caught up. This place was worth skipping breakfast for definitely.

    This place is the only reason I miss going to college. I loved coming here for lunch. Atomic MB is the best sandwich I have ever eaten. The Bread, feta, and MB go together so perfectly. I don't know what it is called but once I ate the Jalepeno fry sauce I could never respect Ketchup or normal fry sauce again. Thanks a lot Moochie's for ruining fries everywhere else. A little crowded sometimes but that's what you get for serving amazing food.

    They're known for their cheesesteaks so that's what I had to get! Ordered the 12 inch and added mushroom and peppers with the fries and drink combo. I try to eat at every cheesesteak place I can find. This wasn't the best cheesesteak I've ever had but it was a good sandwich. Crispy bread. Melty cheese. It could have added a pinch more of seasoning. Really liked the atmosphere that the building created. I ate outside at the bench under the tree. There was a nice breeze. Would definitely return.

    I was surprised that Moochies didn't have 4.5 - 5 starts! We love Moochies, the steaks taste great every time and the Jalapeño sauce makes the experience unlike any other. For those looking for a more mild but just as tasty alternative, try mixing a cup of their Jalapeño sauce with a few spoons of sour cream, delicious! They're always happy to start my call ahead orders, I show up, grab my steaks and head home. Very quick service, and everyone is friendly.

    The sandwiches are good but the service is sloppy. I ordered to-go from ChowNow via yelp. The steak and cheese is delicious, as is the mac salad. The salad was mediocre, average for what you'd expect from a pizza/sandwich shop. The food was ready when I arrived and the woman at the register instructed me to just go to the pick up area. Everyone was too busy to help, I waited about 10 minutes before the woman at the register had to come over to assist. I checked the bag --no drink. They said they didn't have the one I ordered (even though I'd already been charged and they were just going to let it slide) but I could pay extra for a fountain soda. Got home and found they hadn't given me salad dressing either. Overall, not a huge deal, but still an annoyance. I recommend the sandwiches, but double check your order before you leave.

    I would have to say that I'd agree with previous reviewers in saying that this place definitely serves up the best PHILLY's in SLC/surrounding areas! I haven't been anywhere else, but for a little mom & pop shop they have a good menu & I love a good philly! Big plus is their fry sauce/jalapeno version - sooo bomb! I also love that they have a little sink on the side for sanitary reasons & germa-phobes like myself to wash their hands before digging in :)

    Why hadn't anyone told me about this place!! Definitely try a meatball if its your first time here as they are delicious. My husband ordered the meatball sub and thought the bun was fantastic which is what of yelpers report. I got the meatball and salad, the salad had a good mix of ingredients and a light and tangy sauce. Also the fries and their famous fry sauce were a must to order. I'm definitely going back.

    1st time here. Ordered the veggie 6". Really good peppers, onions, mushrooms and the same cheese they use on their philly. Would definitely order again. Order the Mac and cheese as my side, seriously one of the best Mac and cheese I've had. Wish the side portion was a bit bigger, but I'll be back for more.

    I've eaten here years before I moved to the east coast. I ordered the six inch sausage and peppers and the philly cheesesteak. The sausage and peppers was so so, I've had better at Johnnie's Beef in Chicago, the sandwich was light on sausage and wasn't as spicy as I imagined. The philly was okay, I didn't use cheese whiz but it was something I wanted to try. My brother had the atomic meatball sub, it wasn't spicy and was so so. For the prices, I wouldn't make a priority to eat there but they made the sandwich fast and the cashier was nice. I'd like to try the rueben next, I'd recommend this place to anyone to try at least once.

    We came to Moochie's after using the Food Network's 'Diners, Drive-ins and Dives' app on our cross country road trip and boy were we disappointed. FOOD: We ordered the meatball sub and the Philly cheesesteak. The meatball sub was nothing special; I felt like we could have made it at home and been just as happy. The cheesesteak was mediocre as well. The meat was a tad dry and wasn't packing much of a flavor punch either. The fry sauce and jalapeño sauce were really the only notable things. SERVICE: Terrible. So incredibly rude. We came in 30 minutes before closing and listened to everyone on staff moan and groan incredibly loud every time someone walked in. The staff didn't even try to hide their frustrations. The guy behind the counter was short with each person that walked in. At one point, a couple walked in and the cook slammed his spatula on the grill and the whole staff whined a series of "ugh really?!" and "are you serious???!" It was incredibly unwelcoming. As a server myself I know that it's frustrating to have people walk in so close to closing. But gain some customer service skills and learn how to hide your frustrations when you're at work like the rest of us. Overall, the rude service did not make the mediocre food worth the trek. I'd suggest you all eat somewhere else.

    As a native Philadelphian I know cheesesteaks. Mooches is pretty good. I will say for Salt Lake City they are great. I think charging more for cheese wiz when their cheesesteak comes with provolone is very tacky. The meatball subs are good on certain days sometimes you can tell the person who prepped didn't care so it's a crapshoot. The staff are sloppy and at times have attitudes I notice when people have questions. Honestly surprised Diners drive-ins and dives visited, maybe they are getting desperate for places to film at. 3 stars only because I don't want to be mean.

    Such a great place for meatball sandwiches. When I am in SLC I will hit this place, Epic, and Red Iguana. It doesn't look like anything was lost by having national attention. A lot of this places on Guy's shows aren't really worth it. But this one is!

    Best Sub in UT by far- not a big meatball sub guy before- I'm now a fan! great sauces. building very run down, but like red iguana- a winner!

    Moochie's is a rare blend of fantastic atmosphere, great food, and good value. The place has a kind of ghetto 80's diner feel to it (in a good way). Friendly staff and an open air kitchen (you can watch your good being made) lend to the cool, casual atmosphere. The food is great. Two of us split one of their famous footling meatball subs, and it was delicious and more than enough to satisfy us. Between that and the fried ravioli we each had a couple of bites left at the end we couldn't finish. We got out of there for like 16 bucks, which is great for a sit-down place as good as this. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other subs and sides. If you're looking for a fun new place to try in downtown SLC, look no further.

  • Glenn B.

    The food here is great and offers great street quality food and atmosphere without any of the hassle of a several page menu. "Keep it simple" is the impression i get every time I come here. The staff are efficient but not the friendliest of folks. Extras are always offered however, Anything extra adds 50 cents - 1 dollar extra per item with no mention of the costs unless you are lucky enough to acquire a menu which is found on the ordering counter. In regards to customer service, the food comes fast which is great. But before I tip, I'd like to know what I'm tipping for and quite frankly it's like pulling teeth to get a smile from the cashier who cannot take care of the next customer until you sign the receipt. I have never even received a "thank you" from the cashier for tipping begging the question of why tip to begin with. My advice, come for the food, not the service. Sit on the patio and take in some rays or stay inside in one of the 2 structures to stay warm or dry.

  • Chris T.

    My favorite place to eat in all of Salt Lake City. The cheesesteak is delicious. One of the best cheesesteaks I have had. I have had the meatball sub once or twice and it is very good as well, but the cheesesteak is what you need to get. Once you order that cheesesteak, you need to walk over and grab the jalapeño sauce they have. Take the whole bottle to your table, and pour as much sauce as possible on every single bite you take of that cheesesteak. The sauce absolutely phenomenal, It makes the cheesesteak 10 times better. Even though the cheesesteak is already a 10/10, So it makes the 10/10 score 10 times better. So you do the math.

  • Rachel W.

    Some people say that Moochie's has the best Philly cheesesteaks in Utah. That may be true, with the emphasis on "best in Utah." But they are definitely not the BEST Philly cheesesteaks. I feel sorry for Utahns if they think these sandwiches are that great. Having tasted an authentic Philly cheesesteak from Philadelphia, I know that people are really missing out. But I have yet to find another good Philly cheesesteak place, so I guess Moochie's will have to do for now. Whenever I'm craving a Philly cheesesteak I go here. But I always find myself disappointed. It always seems to be missing something and sort of bland. I love their jalapeño sauce, but if their sandwiches were really that great I wouldn't have to drown it in jalapeño sauce to make it taste good. The steak and cheese should be amazing on their own. Also, I can't stand places that nickel and dime you for everything. There is an extra charge for substituting cheese, not adding, substituting. And if you take it to go, they charge for the jalapeño sauce! Their potato salad is actually really good, but again, you get the tiniest portion for how much you are paying. And overall I think they are a little overpriced for a sandwich place. Honestly, I'm really not cheap when it comes to dining out, but that is seriously one of my pet peeves when they charge extra for every little thing. It's just not good business. I'm sure I'll be back because like I said, it's the only Philly cheesesteak place I know of and it's close, but I just wish they were a little better.

    Moochie's is great! You really can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches. The meatball subs are awesome but are tricky to eat, there is so much sauce! The cheesesteak is pretty great too. Like I said, you can't go wrong.

    -Rude staff. -Nickel and dimed for things that should be a given (extra for peppers on a cheesesteak?! are you nuts?!) -Over salted, yet still bland meat on the cheesesteak, it was just salty, mushy and gross. Not even steak's long lost cousin. -Meatballs

    Sweet Jesus, Moochie's is God's greatest gift to Salt Lake City. This place gives Philadelphia itself a run for its money on a mother effin' philly cheese. The bread is fresh, warm and the perfect consistency- a lil' crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy in the center. I would highly recommend adding the peppers and onions to you sandwich. SUPERB. And how do they get the perfect amount of melty cheese on every sandwich? I have never ever been disappointed. I live off 800 S and let me tell you, it's real hard not to stop there every time I pass it.

    Sinfully delicious. These sandwiches come loaded with all kinds of ingredients. I typically order the Philly cheese or the meatball, and both are just too good to be true. This place is a sanctuary in the middle of SLC which isn't exactly known for good eats. So try this place, devour your order, fall in love, and keep coming back.

    Moochies is always a winning choice. Prices are average, quality is high. The Atomic Meatball is one you have to try. It's a little messy and gives some heat, but is very good.

  • Ben K.

    Who doesn't need a good gut-bomb every now and then? Moochie's is here to provide that artery clogging fix you need so badly. Chances are you're going for one of two things, the meatball sub or the philly. You're in for a treat with either, followed by a pressing desire to take a nap. This is heavy food, a large sandwich might well serve you for two meals. The fries, while nothing remarkable, are a welcome addition to the sandwiches and the jalapeño aioli is tasty. Beyond the obviously popular items, the menu spans a double sided page. One can't help but wonder why; but those who have various dietary restrictions will appreciate the choices while your friends get their cheesesteak fix.

    As always, I acknowledge up front that five star reviews should be rare unicorns, to be awarded infrequently. I don't deign to deliver five stars very often. So when you do - you know it's good. And BOOM! Moochies is the best hoagie you can get in Salt Lake City, no doubt about it. I had heard about Moochies for years and had just never made my way around to give it a whirl. Now I weep about those years wasted on subpar sandwiches. Do your tastebuds a favor, run - don't walk - to Moochies for your next meal.

  • Hannah L.

    Moochies is part of the reason I miss Salt Lake so much. You cannot go wrong with a Philly cheesesteak or meatball sub, but my personal favorite is the atomic meatball. It has feta and spicy jalapeño sauce.. Yum! Their sauce is so good you will want to dip everything in it. Portions are huge so this is a good place to share with someone.

  • Scott D.

    I remember when this place was known as the weird pottery place with a deli in the back...ah, good times. Having been to the Delaware Valley a couple of times and enjoying 'legit' Philly Cheesesteaks while there, I am so glad to have a local place with a cheesesteak right on par with anything I had back in Philadelphia. Of course you aren't going to be 'as good' as the original, but this place comes really close...pretty freaking close actually. Many reviews will talk about the cheesesteaks, but let me throw a couple other things your way...they have a 'hoagie' menu that is to die for. In the tradition of back east deli sandwiches, this place fits right in. They pile on the meats/toppings so you never feel like you're being ripped off at all. Another thing, is try their fries and onion rings. They are honestly some of the best I've ever had. THEN on top of that, they make their own fry sauce that is pretty killer. In order to truly enjoy your experience, grab a Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer from the fountain. You can thank me later for that. Oh, and two words...Jalapeno Sauce.

    Good..bread was soft and crisp.. the meat filled sandwich was very delicious. On a whim I looked up places to eat in Salt lake City, and sure enough this place was at the top of the list. The restaurant is pretty ghetto, and it gets crowded fast. I always say though, long lines means, someones doing something right. The sandwiches are nice and big, filled with goodness. I noticed many people had the meatball sandwich, I was the loner and had a cheese steak and I was enamored, especially with the spicy mayo sauce that was offered. This did wonders on my stomach the next day especially since I had a 3 day drive..lol. It was well worth it though.

    In reading some of the previous reviews, I am not sure what people who gave low ratings expected. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, not Michelin Best Restaurants. No, it is not fine dining, it is a sandwich shop, with its own ambience and atmosphere. Almost like something you would see on Seinfeld. Today I flew in from Cincinnati, Ohio the first place I had to stop was Moochie's. I had the 6" Meatball Sandwich advertised as Guy Fieri's Favorite. It has always been mine too. It was a 6 napkin experience as the sandwich was loaded with sauce. I like it so much that it is hard for me to order something else. If you pay attention to the staff it's like dinner and a show. I found them very friendly and entertaining. Looking around there were military, business men and women, locals you name it, an eclectic mix of patrons. I was touched seeing a Dad who was there with a young son who is hearing impaired, when I saw one if the female employes communicate with the boy using sign language I was impressed. I'm here all week, I will make a return trip or two.

    I have to start with a confession. You see, I love my wife very much. She's the world to me. But inching in at a close second may be my love of a good sandwich. I'm sorry you had to find out this way honey. You'll always be my favorite. Mostly because I can't marry a meatball sandwich, at least not in Utah. There's an incredible bond that you develop with a good sandwich. It's the great equalizer of food, because whether you're a Wall Street Executive, or a broke college student, usually people can find some common ground about what goes in between two slices of bread. All banter aside, I do love sandwiches, and I found a hole in the wall downtown in Salt Lake. Moochie's was recently featured on Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives, a show that encroaches on religious devotion for my family. While I don't have blind faith in Guy Fieri's picks, I usually find that they're worth a try. Much to my delight, Moochie's may have been the best Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives suggestion ever. They're famous for two things: Their authentic Philly Cheesesteaks, and their Meatball Subs. Naturally, I tried both. The Cheesesteak was everything that a cheesesteak should be. Thinly sliced beef, minced onions, grilled peppers, all held together by a tasty blanket of cheese and put on a freshly made bun. I said they're famous for two things, but they should be famous for another thing as well, namely their Jalapeno Fry Sauce. I think you could dip anything in it, and it would become instantly addicting. I must say that while the philly was good, it didn't give me the justification for Guy's rave reviews. Don't get me wrong, it was monstrously delicious, but when something makes national television, I'm expecting a near spiritual experience. I've had cheesesteaks that were nearly as good, some as good (not from Utah mind you) and I was ready to chalk up yet another Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives restaurant built up by hype. I was content to leave, having found a good place to eat, but nothing more. Than I tried my wife's meatball sub. To say that this was the best meatball sub I've ever had wouldn't do it justice. The giant meatballs were laced with garlic and basil, making them so flavorful that they could have made my italian ancestry rise from the grave just to get a taste. The sauce washed over the meat with an incredible taste, marrying the basil, garlic and tomato in a sandwich union unlike anything I've had before. The provolone melted over the top, the fresh baked bun, all of it was incredible. I left Moochie's vowing I would return for both sandwiches, as they were both fantastic. But the Meatball Sub Sandwich will go down as one of the best things I've ever eaten. If you have a love affair with sandwiches as I do, you must check this place out. It should be a mecca for all foodies in between Ogden and Provo. It's well worth your time. Drop this paper, or close the window (however you're reading this) and drive to Salt Lake now for the best sandwich of your life. For more foodie chatter, check me out at algerrish.yelp.com

    I always love a good sandwich and I love Moochie's. It's a real deal sandwich shop: small, slightly worn appearance (though they recently fixed it up a bit), and a friendly but no nonsense staff. Get the Philly; get the Meatball. Honestly, I went in several times meaning to try their Italian Combo, but always end up with a Philly or a Meatball. Jalapeno Sauce is superb as well.

    Just love this place! Was recommended this place by a friend a few years ago and now my husband and I have to go everytime we come to salt lake. We've only ever had the Philly cheese steak and meat ball sandwich because they're just to good to not get when we go there. No other Philly I've had comes close to this place, soooo good! It's super hole-in-the-wall and easy to miss from the street. For how good the food is its worth the price. And it was featured on diners drive-ins and dives from food network a few years ago!

  • Kristin F.

    Moochies should have their "Philly" cheesesteak title stripped. Not really so much a Philly cheesesteak. The bread, meat, and cheese...NOT similar to what a real Philly cheessteak is. If you go, do yourself a favor and get a meatball sub. The meatball sub is the best item on the menu. Also, I don't know if they've changed since I've last been there, but there is barely any seating. It's a very uncomfortable environment because you have to wait for a seat for awhile.

    There isn't too much more to be said about this place. I'll add my vote to everybody else's. Get the cheesesteak. You won't regret it. The only question is how big do you want to go? 6" or 12"? If you are on the fence, go for the gold.

    I have always driven by this place and am not sure why it took so long for me to try. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a little parking lot in the back. It's a strange thing to comment on but since it's on a main street (800 S), it's nice to know I don't have to worry about parallel parking or finding a spot on the street. I was a little thrown off at first because the overhang listed a few food items, but it obviously wasn't the menu. The menus are located next to the cashier himself, so if you're in a line or a first-timer, you won't see it instantly. The space indoors is small with a few tables, but there's an outdoor patio for nicer weather. My husband and I ordered the philly cheese steak and the meatball sandwiches. Both were very tasty and we absolutely loved the amount of gooey cheese in each. The meatballs were giant so you definitely don't feel cheated the way other meatball sandwiches can make you feel. The cheese steak was good and we added mushrooms to ours. My only minor complaint is that it is an extra dollar each to add other items to your sandwich such as mushrooms, bell peppers, lettuce, etc. Not that the sandwich isn't good as is, but it can add up at a dollar a piece. I do appreciate that you can make it a "combo" with 2 sides, but keep in mind that a drink is considered one of those sides. Otherwise, you can pick 2 sides of food. The fries were surprisingly good. We didn't expect anything either way, but they hit the spot particularly with a mix of their fry sauce and jalapeno sauce. Overall, it was a good meal. We ordered two foot long sandwiches and made them combos, which came to about $30. Not a bad deal considering we each only ate half and took the rest home so it really could have fed 4.

  • Andrew S.

    It's appropriate the acronym of the restaurant would be MMM. Because that's what I said as I bit into the great Philly Cheesesteak sandwich here. Someone at work told me about seeing this place on Diner's, Drive-In's and Dive's, and to be honest if it wasn't for that I seriously doubt we would ever have even stumbled on this place, at least not before Yelp! But a group of us decided to go, and I can definitely say for me, I was not disappointed. I've had Philly Cheesesteaks in a number of places, and honestly I don't know what constitutes an authentic one, though I'm told this is pretty much as good as it gets. All I know is it, and the fries I got with it were uber yummy, and that's good enough for me! Yep, it's a dive. But nothing wrong with that. When we went, which was a lunchtime, it was really busy (I'm assuming the TV episode featuring it may have just aired, but maybe it's always that way. I sincerely hope so for the store owners since it's a great little business, and I love to see places like this be succesful. As a result trying to find somewhere to park was a challenge. Also, it's a small establishment and I tend to get a little uncomfortable if I get crowded in by too many people - but enduring that while waiting for the food was well worth it, and they have outside seating which made everything all better once I had my food. I haven't tried the meatball sandwich, since it's in their name I would assume it's good and certainly plan to return to try it out at some point.

    Moochies is absolutely incredible. I came here with the wife and we got one foot long philly and one footlong meatball. I was blown away by both. They were so great. Definitely the best meatball sub i have ever had and the best philly that I have had in my time in Utah. Their jalapeno sauce was great on the philly so I recommend trying that. Try Moochies if you haven't. I don't think you will be disappointed.

  • Zach D.

    Love that they brought authentic philly cheesesteaks and meatballs to Salt Lake. Could do without the Philly attitude. Food was five stars, loses points for service. So, I liked the meatball sandwich I had a few weeks ago, but it was so smothered in marinara that it was a little soggy. I asked the cashier if I could have it unwrapped. You would have thought I asked for free sandwiches for life. She went and got the pit boss guy who gave me a lengthy explanation about why this was totally unacceptable and unreasonable. He even gave me a "seriously?". He reluctantly agreed to do it just this once. Didn't seem like a big deal and something that you shouldn't yell at a paying customer over. Excellent sandwich, need to up the customer service. Not sure when I'll be back.

    Good cheese steaks that are helped out by some seemingly 'utah-centric' sauces, good prices, and decent ambiance. Would be in the regular rotation if I worked in the area. The meatball sandwich is no slouch either. Get a decent parking lot and I expect to see Moochies serving SLC for the long haul.

    I really like this place because the employees are nice and friendly. The first time I stopped in, the dude taking my order was really helpful. The food wasn't as great as it was built up to be. The fries are above average. The sandwiches are okay. The bread is nothing special and sort of decreases the quality of the sandwich. 5 stars for the service. 3 stars for the food. 4 stars overall.

    OMG I love this place. I was first introduced to it on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" and thought, "hey a local option, I'll have to check it out." It took a couple of months but finally we went and checked it out. At first I was concerned, the exterior didn't look like much and the interior was quaint but not fancy. Then I got the cheesesteak and was in heaven. I'd been getting down that I hadn't found a good cheesesteak in Utah and this picked me right back up again. My wife got the chicken parm sandwich and it became the only thing she orders there because she likes it so much. If you like cheesesteaks, or sandwich food in general, do yourself a favor and go to Moochie's and see what all the fuss is about!

    Moochie's will melt your sould with their awesome Philly steaks and Meatball sandwiches. Not only they are famous for them, but they truly are a hidden treasure in Salt Lake City. The prices are pretty good, and the place is corky and fun to eat in. The staff is nothing but awesome. I've been there maybe like 7 times, and every time they have treated me really well. The bread they use is really nice, and if you are into sauces they have 2 types of sauces that will make you buy another sandwich just to put more sauce on something. The Jalapeño one is my favorite. Also, I didn't know, but they were featured in a food network show. All in all, the place is cheap, fun, chill, and delicious. Nothing fancy, just chill. Ps. their other sandwiches are really good too, but the philly and meatballs are by far their trademark.

    PRESENTATION: Is awesome, I love old places that has turned into something different. TASTE: I've been here twice and never have been disappointed. I got the philly and their fries. I always end up sharing cause they're really filling. I love eating mine with some jalapeno to give it a little kick of heat and their fries are so crispy and delicious. Their homemade fry sauce is pretty amazing. Good place to grab a nice sandwich. SERVICE: The service is always quick even when it get busy. I love the employees there. VALUE: Its a little pricey I might say for a 12" Philly

    SAUCE!! Oh my gosh the s-a-u-c-e!! I really just wanted to drink it... Being most likely mayo based, opted not to. Had a serious conversation about what else besides fries (the best battered crispy fries ever!) and sammie's this stuff could go on. One, the fry sauce, was a Big Mac spin off, soo good. The jalapeño sauce also awesome. Oh yeah, and the Philly san& meatball san, A+

    Best Meatball Sub? Sure. But make it Atomic, and have a flavor meltdown.

    A connoisseur of Phillies I am not. A connoisseur of food I like to eat I am. So let me just pronounce the sammiches at Moochie's as a fine and remarkable specimen I'd like to eat often. A pinnacle of pig-outtery. A green light to gluttons. A delight of divey proportions. Delish. The big draw is the cheese steak followed closely by the meatball sando. The cheese steak comes on what may be my new favorite bread which stood up the the juiciness of the Philly but may capitulate to the marinara on a meatball sandwich. The standard sliced steak, American cheese, and onion ride on top of the cheese steak, but they're happy to leave anything off, swap your cheese, or add mushrooms or peppers. There are some upcharges for that, so just read the board carefully. Really nice cheese steak. Like, gobble it up good. Feeling a little more spicy, I also shared a meatball sandwich. There was one meatball on my 6" sammy - cut in half and spread across the bread - which means when fully formed the original meatball is about the size of Delaware. The sauce overfloweth, so either a) bring an apron or bib b) wear a red shirt so the mess matches, or c) go topless. The space is pretty basic. Not fancy. Okay.. it's a dive. But in the good way. There are articles all over the walls from "Best sandwich" awards to "Voted #1 articles" and even the obligatory massive photo of the owners with old whatshisname from the Food Network. Patio or indoor, you're overdressed in Dockers. Side note: Who still wears Dockers? You really need to come back a few times and try a few of their sandwiches, hot or cold, and explore the menu. Problem is, with such a great staple like their Philly, you may not ever want to stray.

    Their cheese steak is the kind of sandwich you enjoy every succulent second, every sloppy bite of, licking your fingers clean and when you're done, you take a pause to reflect on the glory of what you just slugged down your gullet. About an hour after that, you begin plotting and planning, hoping and scheming, drooling and dreaming about when you can have another again. In several respects, it's a good thing for me, ultimately, that this place is not closer than it is...

    Born and raised in NY and then living in the Philly area for 15 years left me looking for a cheese steak which would remind me of home. After looking endlessly for an "authentic" Philly steak and not having any luck, a coworker suggested I head over to this place and check them out. That was 8 years ago and since that time I have stopped in for a steak about every other month! The steaks they serve are as close as you are going to get to the real thing in this area. The portions are good, it is made fresh, and tastes fantastic! This place gets VERY crowded at lunch time. I recommend that if you are stopping in for lunch that you head over early, around 11:30 or a bit late to avoid the lines. There is a bit of seating in the main area, they also have places to sit in the house that is next door. If you are looking for a great cheese steak I really recommend you give them a shot. I

    I messed up in going here and not getting the Philly cheese steak for our first visit, I instead got the hot wing chicken and it was good for sure. Not as spicy as I would have liked but it was good. My husband got the meatball and loved it! We also got a Philly to go to take to my brother and he said it was amazing as well. I need to go back for the Philly and try it out before I can make a better educated review, but as far as my experience went it was ok. The girl at the register I didn't like at first cause she was impatient and hurried us along, but later redeemed herself when I saw you could buy Tastykakes so I snagged a couple and she let me pay with my debit card even though there's supposed to be a $5 minimum. Other than that, as others have said, the inside is nothing fancy. I was actually a little put off by all the self love hanging on the walls, and the little sign as you pull up with Guy Fieri's ugly face greeting me. My disdain for Guy Fieri aside, the "Triple D" show has never really given me anything so amazing that I would base my eating there solely on that bragging right alone. I've eaten at "Triple D" visited places in Tucson and Spokane and it was always a huge thing people talked about, but it's more of a turn off for me. I will be back to try the Philly since it's their main sandwich and I blew it off.

    I've only been to Moochies once and of course since it was my first time going in, I had to get the ever famous "Guy Fieri" meatball sub. The sub itself was a mess to eat, but with added toppings of banana peppers, it made it sooo damn good. With the two sides, it totaled to about $15. I thought that was a little high for a "quick" food restaurant but you get what you pay for. The sub, I mean. The sub is worth every cent, but the sides, meh. They are just mediocre. I am usually not this picky but when it comes out to be $15, I think the whole meal should be "wow". I would like to try the other deli styled subs and the philly (of course) and I think I'll have to re-review this place when I do. Overall, it's got good food. It's messy, it's a sub, it's unhealthy, but hey, isn't that why we eat something that tastes good? Worth checking out and a staple to the SLC food community.

    Yeah, the sandwich is really that good. I might even get on a plane after this review just to have a sandwich. I have had cheesesteaks in Philly and Boston, and it is better. I will say that if you are going in off hour times it is not as good. You can not beat the freshness and flavor when it is the lunch hour rush. Hallmark of a good cheesesteak place? Tastykake's Butterscotch Krimpets. They have them flown in special.

    Tried Moochies for the first time today after a couple of recommendations. We tried the meatball sub and the philly cheese steak, and weren't disappointed. I proabably couldn't ask for more in a sub. The bread was great too--still crusty on the outside. The meatballs were gigantic, but cut in half, so you could actually eat the sandwich without everything falling out. Cheese was great. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the atmosphere. There weren't any menus on the walls to look at when we got there, only specials. The full menu was small and taped to the counter, but you can't see it when you're in line. The only reason we knew what to get was because we'd looked at their menu online before we went. Also I recognize the appeal of a dive, but it's really too bad there's not very much seating, especially during the lunch rush. They were fast though. And the jalepeno and fry sauces were actually really good. We spent $17 on two 6 inch subs, one fry, and one drink. Kinda on the pricey side, as far as lunch goes. Not TOTALLY sure I agree with all the signage that says they're cheap. They're tasty, for sure, though.

    I crave Moochies all the time. At least once a week, I want Moochies. I try not to give in that often since my waistline probably doesn't approve but I just can't get enough. I usually get the Philly cheesesteak but the meatball sub is pretty darn good too. On my cheesesteak, I put grilled mushrooms and a large helping of the jalapeno sauce. Don't be scared of the sqeeze bottle full of creamy sauce. It has delicious flavor though I wish it was spicier. The sandwich is piled so high with meat that I usually have to open it up and eat some of the meat alone or turn it into an open faced sandwich. No matter how you eat it, it satisfies. I have always adored Moochies but when I went to DC and Philadelphia last year, I thought to myself, "I get to try a real cheesesteak!" And can I tell you something? Moochies was just as good as the originals. Really. They have nailed it.

    I've only had Moochie's meatball sandwiches. They are huge and saucy, and the 4 large meatballs (8 halves) per 12-inch sandwich make me and my lunch partner happy, BUT, these days the texture of the hoagie are soggy when I open up the wrapping foil, and the center of the sandwiches really seems too wet. :( My husband has been enjoying their cheesesteak sandwiches and highly recommend them, so I may just have to try them out and update this review soon. With these said, the staff is always friendly and happy, and the seating areas (indoor and out) are always fun. Oh, and there's a bathtub full of plants in the restroom! How cool is that!?

    OMG the meatball sandwich!! I have always tried the philly here which is great. I'm not a huge fan of phillies, in general, because I don't like onions and peppers but Moochies is great for phillies. But...I had no idea about the meatball sandwich!! I tried it 2 days ago and have been craving that delectable sandwich ever since. I LOVE meatball sandwiches and this one is seriously the best I have ever had! I'm definitely going back. In fact, it might have to be a weekly occurrence!!

    I've heard a lot about Moochies from my fellow Sketchdining crew members, but I had yet to experience this famous cheesesteak joint until recently. As I have family in Philly, I had probably came in with ridiculously high of expectations for this joint. While Moochies wasn't dead on, they came seriously close. It might be that they were lacking the abrupt nature that the Philly cheesesteak houses have and thus I was missing a bit of the atmosphere, but there was something that made it not quite 5-star. However, the fact that I could get a cheesesteak in Utah made me pretty happy. The service is friendly and accommodating. My friend is a vegetarian and they were happy to help him with an alternative, which I found pretty incredible, considering this place is based around meat. Since it is famous with the underground in Salt Lake (and possibly not-so-underground, since it was featured on Dives and Diners) I would say this is a must hit joint if you're hankering for a big, sloppy sammy in SLC.

    This place is legit. Go for the Philly.. I haven't tried the meatball yet, but I hope to one of these days. The Philly is delicious. It melts in your mouth and is so good. There's just a lot of flavor in these sandwiches! The potato salad is pretty good. Moochies was one the first places I tried when we moved to SLC. We always get good service. We normally don't stay there and eat, because it is small.

    If you time it right, you can get a great sandwich in record time. We were driving through after the Christmas holiday. (Dec.28th) I ordered the philly cheese steak. It was flavorful and had plenty of meat...you can add peppers and onions. It was a delicious sandwich as is. My boyfriend ordered the meatball sandwich. He said it was a great sandwich. We shared bites and the bite of his meatball sandwich I had was quite yummy. The size of the main deli shop isn't that big, but there is overflow seating in the house next door, the bathroom is also located in the house. The fries are pretty good too...but the fry sauce is delicious, so you HAVE to get fries. We were not disappointed and will definitely stop by the next time we're in SLC.

    Been here a dozen times and it's always great. Philly cheese steak with grilled mushrooms and the famous jalapeno sauce on the side is unbeatable. Meatball sub, "atomic style", is also great.

    I am writing this in order to proclaim my heartfelt manifesto about Moochie's Meatballs and More, the best damn sandwich shop in the state of Utah and beyond. Please indulge me. These things have to be said. Moochie's Philly Cheesesteak is the best Cheesesteak in the valley. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Moochie's Meatball sub is a marvelous, meaty mess. And it's better than even your own Italian grandma would make. The Moochie Dog is the most innovative and kick ass hot dog I have ever tasted. I implore you to try this marvelous frank. The bread... this most blessed of wraps... that which holds all the goodness in any Moochie sandwich is, in a word . . . perfect. Fries are really good too; crisp and golden. The place has a great feel, and the service is uniformly friendly. The employees seem genuinely committed and loyal to the business. Then there is the Jalapeno sauce, free pepper bar, specialty sodas, and tons of napkins. Am I in heaven? I do have a few gripes. The lasagna is a disappointment. Stay away from it. I also don't dig Moochie's inexplicably popular potato salad. Way too much dill for me. A classic mayo and mustard based, chunky potato salad would work much better with their subs. I've tried some of their other sandwiches, which simply don't hold their own against the cheesesteak, meatball sub, and Moochie Dog. Also, it's odd to get a Reuben sandwich on a sub roll instead rye bread. I'll never again stray too far off the main menu. Nevertheless, there is no more debate. Moochie's is the number one, best of the best, top of the heap sandwich shop in our state. The Cheesesteak alone merits the five stars. Period. Done. End of story.

    Moochie's already has a well-known reputation for their delectable sandwiches, with which I concur. Highlights: Cheesesteak (no modifications) Pennsylvania Birch Beer Fries! They have excellent fries, and fry sauce. Things to be improved: Adding beer to the menu, or at least let me bring beer STAY OPEN LATER

    100% over rated! It's a good sandwich, but it would be better if you had bread options. The bread that I had on the meatball as well as the Philly was day old & very tough. The meat and peppers were very nicely done, but the key to a good sandwich is the bread. Maybe they have gotten better, but I will not make a return! Try Joni's on 1700 just west of state!

    I recently visited Moochie's Meatballs as I was in need of a taste of home. I have heard that they have some pretty amazing cheesesteaks in this little joint and after a week back in Salt Lake City, I was already yearning for a change of scenery or at the very least, something that would whisk me away, Calgon style. I checked out their website, which is awful by the way, and some of the Yelp reviews and decided to venture out. Upon arriving, I instantly realized that I timed my visit very badly. The parking was terrible and when I walked in the place, it was packed. Even the "overflow" dining, which is a awkward addition to the already crappy interior, was packed. The thing about this place is that they are trying to be a hipster cool steak shop but it comes off as a little dingy and way too cramped. Granted, I arrived at noon or thereabout but the line and the people packed into this little place was mind boggling. That being said, the wait to place my order was surprisingly quick. Some woman screamed out, "I can help the next person" at a decibel level that would make a train horn jealous and so I hurried to the counter. In true Philly fashion, she pretty much treated me like I was a bum as I placed my order. Now I know Philly cheesesteak joints can be pretty intimidating, but at least they have menus. This place had a whiteboard with some Sanskrit on it that was hardly discernible as to what they were offering and how much it cost. As a result, I just blurted out, "I'll take a cheesesteak." She asked what size and I chose a large. Not being here before, and not seeing many options, I asked he what kind of cheese they used. She replied, "American." Alright, let's take a moment to pause here. While I get it that American can be an option, most people would agree that it's either Cheese Whiz or provolone that goes on the genuine article. So, in my most polite demeanor, I inquired of this "lady", "do you have provolone?" She said in reply, "Do you want provolone?" to which I answered, "why would I ask you if you have provolone if I didn't want provolone on my cheesesteak?" Alright folks, I get it. She was trying to cut to the chase but give me a friggin' break. She doesn't live in Philly, probably wasn't from Philly, wasn't hot enough to cop that kind of attitude with me. Phew. That said, I got the f-in provolone. Oh, and for a large cheesesteak and a soda . . . $15. That is pretty spendy for a place in the middle of a state whose only contribution to the world is salt. So, I paid my money and gave the "lady" behind the counter my name and move onto get my beverage. To my surprise, they had PA Dutch Birch Beer. Now that was a pleasant shock. Kudos to you Moochie's. After a rather short wait, I heard my name called out and was presented with my cheesesteak. Grabbing said CS, I retreated to the accouterments section of the establishment and grabbed some ketchup. Then taking my loot, I searched for a seat. Ahhhh, lunch time. With nary a seat in the place, I was forced to sit outside in the 35 degree UT weather. Not that big of a deal. It was noon after all. I ripped open my CS and found what appeared to be a pretty good looking item. The cheese could have been a little more melted and I would have liked a little more of it, but all in all, things didn't look so bad. The meat was not the high quality stuff you will find at Jim's on South Street, nor what you would find at Frank's in Bozeman MT but it was ok I suppose. It was pretty bland however. I was forced to load up on the ketchup and even dove into the banana peppers for a little added zest. Don't get me wrong, the food was ok but calling this place an authentic Philly experience would be a stretch. The standout, however, was the roll. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, it was quite good. Not sure where they get them, but nice job guys. So, all in all, if you desperately need a Philly CS, this place should suffice, as long as you don't go around 12 and as long as you can deal with the service which was a little aloof and, quite frankly, a bit rude.

    How could a spikey, died-hair guy that wears arm bands be wrong?? We gave the Mooch a try and were very happy with the whole experience. The building has just enough "dive" going on that you don't feel quite so bad dripping sauce down the front of your tank top. All of the eco-friendly reminders around the place also make you feel so damned guilty that you end up wiping the rest on your pant legs. Eating the meatball sub, I left the place looking like a butcher after a long day. Speaking of the meatball sub, it = win. I ordered the 6" and was glad I didn't go bigger for fear of totally stuffing myself. The bread was crusty on the outside and mooshy on the inside making it perfect. I partnered my sammich with the sweet potatoe fries and loved the combo. Good stuff. My better half ordered the Philly loaded with 'shrooms. I didn't get to taste it because a.) I hate mushrooms and b.) it was loaded with them. Judging from the chipmunk cheeks and puddle of stuff dripping out of the sandwich, hers was good too. Mrs. B. ordered the regular fries and they went very well with the Jalepeno sauce offerred up around the place. The only criticism I have is all of the eco-reminders and stickers. Yeah, one planet... I get it. Now go get me another SAMMICH!!

    Yum! Best Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches! I always get the philly, sweet potato fries and jalapeño sauce. Yum! Sometimes I put a little jalapeño sauce on the sandwich but not all the time. Even my 3 yr old who is a picky eater loves the philly.

    These are the best philly cheesesteak sandwiches I've ever had! I don't know what magic they put into them but I've never had another compare to this! Their atomic jalapeno sauce is so yummy, I could practically drink it. The seating inside leaves a little to be desired but the sandwiches are so good you could just stand and eat them or pig out in your car!

    Ended up hearing about Mootchie's on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. I was really excited to try this. Went yesterday with a good friend. I had the 12" Meatball Sub with a homemade brownie and she had the 6" Philly Cheesesteak Sub, Tomato Basil Bisque Soup and a Chocolate Tastykake. The staff was extremely friendly, hard working and eager to please. When we arrived it was rather busy but within minutes we were helped, had our food and were digging in. In between the rushes of customers every one of the employees were cleaning and re stocking. Even the Coke machines were calibrated perfectly!! I cannot say enough positive things regarding this Diner. Very clean. Very friendly. Excellent food for a good price. We will definitely return.

    When I saw this place was on Triple D, I had to make it out for a try. The place has meatballs in the name, but their Philly Steak is far superior to their meatball sandwich. If you don't have the stomach for both (or someone to share with), do yourself a favor and get the philly. The only real knock I have on this joint is the food is stupid unhealthy. But I knew what I was getting into before I went. The service at this joint is acceptable, but you have to stand and wait at the counter for your sandwich to be made (which at Jimmy Johns is instant, here it can take 10 min). Having a number system and bringing it out to the table (a-la Jason's Deli) would be fantastic. SERVICE: 5/10 AMBIANCE: 4/10 FOOD: 6/10 PRICE: 6/10 UNIQUENESS: 6/10 OVERALL SCORE: 58 Service: Graded by the "Keep my cup full principle". Ambiance: Pretty self-explanatory Food: A high food score does not always indicate it is a place for foodies. It is weighted based upon the establishment - thus bar food can receive a high score Price: Price is graded based upon what I believe is fair value for the food you are receiving. A high score does not necessarily indicate the establishment is cheap. Uniqueness: Higher scores indicate desire to return.

    I suppose if I lived in Salt Lake I would have liked Moochie's a lot more than I did given the culinary choices the city offers. My wife and I were on a trip to SLC and wanted to hit Moochie's because we had seen it featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. After dining there all I can say is that Guy Fieri is a hell of a salesman. As we entered Moochie's I was immediately struck by the appearance of the girl at the cash register. She had the look of a person that might be better suited for juggling chainsaws at Venice Beach as opposed to being the face of a food establishment, but don't judge a book, right? The menu looked great and because the joint was on Triple D we figured the food would be good as well. We decided to go with cheesesteaks with fries as this sandwich was highlighted on the tv show. As we sat in the both I took notice of the kitchen staff most of whom appeared to not be doing much work. Given the length of time it took to get our food on a less than busy day I presume my assumption was correct. I also took note of the fact that they all had long hair and wore only baseball caps to cover their hair. This will come into play momentarily. When we got our cheesesteaks and dug in the vote was unanimous: they were pedestrian at best. Certainly edible but nothing I would go out of my way for. Then came the moment that every diner anywhere dreads: hair in your food. My wife took a bite of her sandwich and there it was. A short black hair smack dab in the middle of her cheesesteak! I offered to take it back and let the staff know what had happened, but at that point she had kind of lost her appetite and looking at the folks behind the counter I had to question how this incident would be handled. If not for the hair in the food we may have given Moochie's a second chance, but my guess is that that was our one and only trip there.

    I don't just order Moochie's, I HOARDER Moochie's. I will not leave without at least 12" of Atomic meatball and 12" of loaded Philly. That, gentle readers, is a "charge-my-jazzy, I-wash-myself-with-a-rag-on-a-stick, we're-gonna-need-a-bigger-crane-for-the-body" amount of food. No, I do not eat it all immediately, but I can't bear not having it in the case the zombie apocalypse befalls us. Trust me, they'll go for the Moochie's first. Morning, noon, and night, my mountain o' mooch gives me the strength to go on sitting and staring. I really should order something else, but then I'd just have to add it to my gastropod's bucket list. Oh, and I'll need at least five jalapeño sauces, please. Thank you and feel free to inject them directly into my left ventricle. So why only four stars? Is it just that I ran out of energy trying to move the mouse? No, it is simply a matter of beer, and there is no beer at Moochie's. Oh wait, here's one in my fridge next to the last 3" of Atomic! Mmmm, breakfast.

    Cheesesteaks are as good as you get in Utah. Better than Philly Cheesesteak in Clearfield, infinitely better than subway or little johns. Sure you need to wait for it to be cooked. Yeah, it can be slow and crowded. But, unless you are willing to drive to Wilmington Delaware for a better cheesesteak, suck it up, order, wait, pickup, and enjoy. I was there again on 7/9/13 and ordered my 2.5 year old the kid's hotdog. It was pricey, and she only ate a bit, but then I tried it. What a great hotdog. I took it for lunch the next day as well as the other half of my cheesesteak. What I want to know is where do these hotdogs come from?

    Philly cheese steak doesn't get much better than this! The bread was so great as well as the meat and cheese. I think next time I would get double meat. The jalapeno white sauce is a must too. I made my husband go back and order fries. They were crispy and had a lot of flavor. Plus there's sauce for that as well! We found out you can order cheese wiz on your sandwich if you want. Next time..... Meatball was good, no doubt, BUT don't pass up the steak for the meatball.

    I'm always amazed the number of "native" east-coasters who write about every sandwich shop and say "it's the best since me and Andy Reid hung out".

Everybody should stop by and dive in, you won't regret it!

    What can you say about Moochie's that has not been said already besides that Moochie's Meatball sandwiches are sensational. The frech fries are also very good and crispy. I have not yet tried any other one but I am sure they are just as good. Tip: a six inch meatball sandwich is more than enough food. If you order a 12 inch, make sure to share it with someone. My favorite thing about Moochie's is the in-house Jumpin Jalapeño sauce. This sauce is just so creamy and delicious that it compliments the sandwich so well. Moochie's has plenty of seating but try to avoid the lunchtime crowds. This place is very popular. Just in case you do not find a seat, you can try the patio or go into the building next door that has tables and booths.

    This place was ok, but I would never make a special trip to eat there. The Philly wasn't as good as Philadelphia Sub in Clearfield IMO. The sandwich was pretty bland and boring. It was crowded & noisy. The good news is there'll be more room for you there tomorrow, because I'm not going back anytime soon.

    Moochies is delicious. I don't care if it's not authentic enough for some of youse, it's GOOD! Ive had the philly and also a meatball. Both fabulous. My favorite thing about Moochies is the white jalapeno sauce. I drown my sandwich in that stuff and I am in heaven. With their new expanded hours, I will surely be visiting more often.

    Great service and awesome philly cheesesteak and meatball subs and loved their take on potato salad.

  • Travis W.

    Finally, a meatball sub I like after trying them every where else possible, it's delicious. They make the best Philly cheese-steaks in SLC too. Be sure to try their house made jalapeno sauce with your sub, and the house made fry sauce with their delicious fries. The jalapeno sauce on the meatball sub is a combination to die for.

    A must for anyone in Utah. I get the swiss on my philly and its to die for. The hype is well earned. I keep telling myself that I am going to try the meatball and all these years later I cant break away from the philly.

    Been coming here for years - Best Meatball and Phillys in the state! - don't forget to ask for the Jalapeño sauce. A friend told me I've got the try the Garlic Philly the next time.

    CHEESESTEAK CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!! Salt Lake City 2012 Moochies vs. DP's A coupla days ago we decided to compare the cheesesteak sandwiches from these two lovely establishments back to back....and by that I mean within a half hour of each other. Yes, we're fat. Yes, it was glorious. Heres whats up... 1. Cheesiness: While Moochies certainly doesn't skimp on the cheese, DP's steak is lavished with it. Winner: DP's 2. Steakiness: They both offer very tender and delicious steak, making this a tough call. Moochie's steak is more finely cut. DP's is somehow more steaky and there is more meat. Winner: DP's 3. Pepperiness: Moochies has their own pepper bar. Moochies pepper bar is awesome. Winner: Moochies 4. Breadiness: DP's bread was softer and more accepting of the steak all over it while Moochies seemed more like cheesesteak put on a bun. Winner: DP's 5. Atmosphere: DP's is a typical downtown restaurant in a new space, there is nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it is sterile...much like the city it resides in. Moochies is in a trashy little building, the employees are tatted and gauged, and there is a pepper bar. Winner: Moochies 6. Leftoveriness: Yeah, we couldn't finish it all. Next day they were both good but...Winner: Moochies. 7. Extras: DP's has TastyCakes, which are amazing little desert delights we did not expect to see outside of the east coast. We got fries at Moochies, which were delicious, but nothing particularly special. Moochies did seem to have much more to offer including different sides and a greater variety of sandwiches. Winner: Tie. Conclusion: These are both very very good in their own way. DP's wins out in individual categories when you break the sandwich down. Moochies, though, pulls the whole thing together better. Its close, but Moochies just makes an overall better cheesesteak. Loved it. (Eat at both of these places, its impressively good food.)

    Had the Philly my first visit and came back for the meatball less than 24 hours later. Great staff-fast and friendly service. Also fabulous fries and Mac n cheese. Very affordable. Definitely wish I lived closer. They deliver!

  • Kish M.

    As my faithful Yelp followers know (yes, the list is small ....... but growing) I love local small business establishments and Moochie's Meatballs and More fits that bill to a tee!! Local is great but the quality of the food still has to measure up and once again Moochie's fits the bill. Simply stated, this is a great place to eat .................... period!!! When you enter Moochie's you just know that you are going to like it there, occupying an old house in downtown SLC on 8th South the," there is no other place like this" radar kicks in and you have not even ordered yet. Step up to the counter and order the cheese steak with onions and peppers, don't forget to ask for a side of fries because the cheese steak is going to be awesome but the fries are going to surprise you, I love a really good cheese steak and I love really good french fries and Moochies delivers in a big way!!!!! When you sit down with your cheese steak you can unwrap it and start and your taste buds will thank you, or, you can grab the Jalapeno Sauce that they provide and put a splash on every bite and really enjoy lunch. Great food, great place, great people, good prices ............................... five stars!!! Remember, Be Local ~ Buy Local ~ Live Local, wherever your local may be. Until next time remember, you have to eat, so eat well!!

    I love my Philly Steak! It keeps me coming back every time. Their meatball sandwiches are great as well. I am always happy with the food and its always consistent. I am very happy they made extra seating next door. And added all the extra table out front.

  • Max G.

    We learned about Moochies from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. They make a pretty good Philly cheesesteak (good, but not great...I'm from the Philadelphia area) and a very good meatball sub. I was surprised to see Tastykakes available as well. Would definitely return for the meatballs, not the cheesesteak.

  • Grason R.

    I can't seem to get enough of this place. Even the building it is in is awesome! The owners come straight from Philly so they certainly can make you one of the best cheesesteaks you've ever had. If cheesesteaks aren't your thing, they have a bunch of other sandwiches and usually have some kind of pasta or lasagne special. Honestly, my favorite is the meatball... with tons of jalapeno sauce. Thats right, i said jalapeno sauce. The best thing about the meatball sandwich is the necessary shower afterward. Not only because it's the messiest sandwich to ever exist, but you are so happy with your day that you can't really be any more satisfied and are ready to end it. Ah yeah.

  • Rachel L.

    Maybe it's me. After all, I stem from a place where "heros", "grinders", and "subs" are simply called "sandwiches." But, I don't get the hype around this place. Sure, the bread was soft and doughy. Sure, the philly was steak-a-rific. Sure, the meatballs were meaty, But, it's nothing to write home about. Hell, I even debated about writing a review after my "meh" experience. If for some reason I had a future hankering for a sandwich and just so happened to be in the area, I'd hit it. But, the majority of the time, I'd rather just quit it.

    Awesome hole in the wall. An old, not so converted house. Hot pepper condiment bar. And the rarely seen Diet Dr. Pepper at the fountain. Ordered the classic meatball sub and lentel soup. Didn't need the soup. The sandwich was smothered in sauce and they're not stingy on the meatballs either. And while the typical meatball is just that, typical, these were nicely flavored to the point where the sauce would almost be a disservice if it weren't every bit as good. On a side note. The pictures of the food here don't do this place justice at all. It may not be pretty food, but it sure is delicious As my friend the terminator used to say, I'll be back.

    Feels like the perfect place for a great sandwich...and...IT IS! Everything I've tried is great. Everyone should try Moochie's at least once in their life and preferably more!

    We were considering Moochie's Catering for our Sugar Bowl party, based on the recommendation of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," but we thought we'd better try it for ourselves first. Thank goodness we did! The Philly tasted okay, but was extremely greasy. The sandwich was a "gut bomb" that continued to detonate inside my stomach for the rest of that day and into the next. Is grease poisoning a real thing? We also had the meatball sandwich. The meatballs were good, but the marinara was literally the worst I have ever had. It tastes exactly like Chef Boyardee ravioli sauce... Which is good if you're 6 years old or perhaps really drunk.

    They have a pepperoni pizza philly cheesesteak. It may be 5000000 calories, but its pure perfection.

  • Oscar A.

    I originally started going there for their Philly cheese steak but now I've gravitated over to the meatball sandwich after a recommendation from a friend. This is another one of my fixes I crave every other week. I wasn't a big fan of meatball sandwiches until I ran into this place. Also get the jalapeño sauce to put on it. Don't worry it's not very spicy. Just delicious.

  • Nicholas S.

    Moochies is legit. However, this place needs whiz. The bread for the cheesesteak is incredible and the meat is pretty good as well. The atmosphere is awesome however the clientele makes me laugh. Pepper bar is a huge plus! I love Moochies but I think DP wins on the steak.

  • Ashley B.

    I am from the east coast. Yes I know what a good cheesesteak is. No I do not go to Geno's and Pat's. Moochies was surprisingly very awesome. There sandwich was very big and all cook to order which is my favorite. I hate when the meat is laid out and grays cause it's just sitting on the heater. I was soo nervous at first cause this place claimed good philly cheese steaks in the middle of a land lock state out west but to my surprise it was actually really good. The staff is awesome and our cashier had a rocking sense of humor. I will go back again!

    This is the first restaurant i've visited that was featured on the Food Network's Diners Drive Ins and Dives. I hope to go to more! We were on a road trip heading to Montana and had to stop by Salt Lake City on the way there. We found out about Moochie's on the way up and was started to get excited about meatballs. When you are on the road, in the snow for as long as we were, you start getting excited about pretty much anything. When we got to Moochie's they were closed! Bummer. Luckily we had to stop in Salt Lake City on the way back, which is great, because now i can write a review on Moochie's. Even though we had eaten only a few hours ago, we knew that we weren't going to get another shot at this place in a long time, if ever. So we got our Meatball Sandwiches to go and ate them back at the hotel room later. Even though a couples of hours had past since we ordered our food, the Meatball sandwich held up with little to no sogginess. I was very pleased with Moochie's Meatball Sub and would love to go back, unfortunately there is nothing else in Salt Lake City for me to do. One of the best parts of the sandwich was the bread. It was toasted, but was not hard on the outside. The bread had a nice chewiness to it and was really fresh. It was really soft bread. Another highlight to the sandwich is the Jalapeño sauce that you can get on the side. Be sure to say 'yes' when they ask if you want it! It is on the spicey side, but is really good with any of your meatballs that fall out of the sandwich, which brings me to the only downside. These sandwiches are messy! I am not against messy food, that's why Jesus invented water and towels. When i opened my sandwich, it looked like a scene out of Scanners! As you can see from my picture, the sauce is everywhere and there was cheese all over the place. This isn't a big downside, i am just warning you if you are the white glove type. All in all, i am super fired up for being able to stop at Moochie's. It was a great place, fun atmosphere and the guys behind the counter were really nice. If you are stuck in the middle of Salt Lake City, i would say it is a must!

    My sister and I were feeling particularly fatty the other day and decided it had been a while since we've had Moochie's. I know I've been writing about a lot of fatty foods lately, but I have been in severe need of food therapy, soon to be followed by gym therapy. But in all seriousness, I think there are therapeutic effects from consuming copious amounts of fat. Not that I'm condoning food therapy on a regular basis, but for certain bad days, nothing beats a moochie's philly. Yes, it may have been featured on a certain Food Network television program, but it still deserves props for how good it is, despite not being in Philadelphia. [If you can't tell, I have a certain disdain for Guy Fieri featured dives]. Anyways, get the philly. It'll change your world, or at least expand your waist belt. I hear the meatballs are fine, I mean, it is in their name I suppose. But get the philly, with onions and mushrooms, and plenty of cheese, and if you so please, douse it with jalapeno sauce. You'll regret it later, but it's so worth it in the moment.

  • Leslie K.

    Oh my! these are some big sandwiches. Really big! My husband who always thinks he is hungrier than is humanly possible ordered the 12" meatball sub, its humongous, messy and impossible to pick up. He manages though and I have to say they have excellent meatballs, fantastic marinara and a bread thats super tasty and soft enough to tear right into. I opted for the much more moderate 6" philly and was not disappointed, they use real cheese the meat is juicy and I love grilled onions, same delicious bread as my husbands meatball sub. I'm not sure if I missed the kids menu, but I don't recall it. I ordered my three year a single meatball, they are huge and a side of fries for the table, by the way their fry sauce is quite unique with a spicy jalepeno quick to it. Everything was great. The only thing I was not keen on was their bread pudding, very eggy, to moist, strange after taste and I can't be sure but perhaps they used cool whip or another whipped topping, not to my liking. Plus it was served in a strange 8oz plastic cup with lid held askew by the whipped topping. On a tastier note I did enjoy the brownie and they have tasty cakes which my husband loves. We will definitely be back and perhaps get our meatballs and bread to go separately than combine at home for our own tasty feast.

    Amazing meatball subs! I'm Italian and from Philly and I'd have to say this place is on point with there meatball subs. Outstanding! But although the cheesesteak is good, id go with the meatball everytime!

  • Aimee C.

    I was scared of here because I didn't know how it worked, but lots of my friends go here and they have meat so I went for lunch with Vi T. one day and it was really good. I got the fries which are double coated and fried fries and they were a little salty for my taste, but you can bet I ate them anyway because obviously fries with extra fried on them are delicious no matter what. I got the philly cheese steak with the peppers and mushrooms and dumped a bunch of the jalepeno sauce on it and it was so good. I had to eat a bunch of it with a fork first before I could consider tackling it like a sandwich so I decided that it is like a special bonus meat salad in a bread bowl, which is then followed by a huge delicious sandwich, which I couldn't finish, so I brought part of it home to eat while I watched television later. It all worked out really well and I would like to do it again soon. I bet I could even do it all by myself, but I don't think that would be as fun as going with a friend or two.

  • Lisa D.

    OK - the cheese steak didn't suck, but it wasn't the best. If you've ever tried Pop's in Vegas, you know what I mean. What ruined it for me was the black hair I pulled out of the cheese. Ruined my appetite. The guys (and girl) working back there had hats on, but they still had tons of hair hanging out, so why bother?

  • Jesse C.

    I love the food and sauces here. If I didn't mind being morbidly obese I would eat here every day. Cheesesteak is better than the meatball but both are very good. The downside to this place is lack of easy sitting and parking.

  • Brad S.

    Hands down the best Philly Cheesesteak in Utah. Of course this is my review so it's a personal choice to place Moochies at the top of my Philly list, in fact in my opinion no one even comes close. Moochies is a great little place that you may miss if you're not careful. Parking and seating is a little bit of a pain if you go during peak hours but overall if you want a nice juicey mouth-watering Philly (get it with the Wiz) you can't go wrong with Moochies.

  • Ryan R.

    If you love sandwiches, meat, and spicy and Subway is not going to cut it then I can't say enough good things about Moochie's. My Fiance and I love it. My favorite is the Atomic Meatball Sub, Her's is the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. My only criticism is I think they need a second location say somewhere in North Salt Lake perhaps? That's more a personal Bias then anything else. Moochie's has never let me down and the Atomic Jalapeno Sauce I could literally drink from a hose so this is one condiment you wont want to forget. Moochie's is simply delicious and I highly endorse it thus the 5 star rating! If your a Vegetarian Moochie's is probably not for you otherwise enjoy.

  • Alison H.

    If you're looking for a cheesesteak in Salt Lake, this is the place to go. I certainly appreciate that they don't scoff at me too much for requesting my sandwiches plain (only cheese and meat). Bread, meat, and cheese are always steaming and delicious. Great resistance in the bread that can actually handle the juices in the meat. And the meat itself has delicious, meaty flavor. It's also a bonus that you can get the cheesesteak in a place that doesn't smell like old diapers. (as opposed to other places I have ventured to) Meatball sub is also awesome as is the fact that they carry Tastycakes imported from the East Coast.

  • Steve S.

    Came back to Bonneville this year, and yes, I went back to Moochies. Again. Again.... had requests to take sandwiches back to Los Angeles. (8 this time! The number grows every time!) Again... Moochies gladly performed my request for my sandwiches to be served [DISASSEMBLED] Again... my sandwiches arrived in LA the next day, still tasting great. You guys are a permanent stop whenever I am in SLC. My friend picked up his sandwiches from me tonight, and I have to set the scene.... It was me, a big Mexican dude, and him, a chubby white dude sitting in a blue Chevy Cavalier in the middle of a pretty rough neighborhood. Lights are off in the car and we were sitting there talking. Eventually, I pass him a bag loaded with Moochie sandwiches, and he passes me cash. It was like the worlds fattest drug deal going down. Awesome.

  • Tyler B.

    I've found that if moochies has it on the menu, they make it the best of anyone. The best phillys, the best onion rings, the best sweet potato fries, and the best brownies (these brownies are so good that they have been packed and consumed across 3 continents and both hemispheres)

    One of the things I look forward to when I am traveling on business is I get to try new joints that I would normally not be able to get to. The other part I like is every once in awhile you get to try a place that the locals believe should be showcased on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. The lucky part for me is this trip I got to do both. First off is Moochie's Meatballs in downtown Salt Lake City. This place is now on my favorites list. Moochie's is a fun little place that looks almost like a house in parts. I went to Moochie's last night straight from the airport. This place is known for their sandwiches and subs. I had a Philly cheese steak with mushrooms and onions. Great sandwich! I think it may be good enough for people that have lived in Philly. LOL (I am expecting some comments on that one) Also I have not been to Philly to try the "real thing" but this is one the best if not the best I have had. They also have meatball sandwiches as you would expect but when I walked in it was clear the Philly was the real deal! The thing that tipped me off most was the sign that told you how to order one. The people working there were super nice. I was not the only on there that had seen the episode on DDD which was cool. I chatted with one of the guys that worked there until my sandwich was ready. Turns out I came at the right time because if I was to try stopping in at lunch they usually have a line that goes out the door and down the block. You know they have kickin food if that is the case. I almost forgot you have a to try the Jumpin' Jalapeno Sauce on your cheese steak. This stuff was incredible. It really added some depth to their already super flavorful cheese steak. I wanted some for home. Yum Yum. You need to check this place out! However bring your appetite, as the sandwiches are tasty and big. Five stars!

  • Diane C.

    I don't understand why everyone loves Moochie's so much. I understand that isn't a lot of competitors in Utah, but that's not how I judge if I love a sandwich or a place. Maybe it's because it was on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Anyway, i tried the philly cheesesteak and couldn't even get through half of it I think it was overly greasy and lacked flavor. I admit i haven't had a meatball sub, so maybe that's why I haven't been converted. ...sorry.

    (2)
  • Todd D.

    My expectations might have been a weeee bit too high. And I probably went a little too crazy with yellow peppers and jalapenos because pickle flavor ended up dominating the sandwich. Still though, a damn fine Philly, probably best I've had in Utah though I haven't tried many. I wouldn't recommend going with a footlong, it's just a little too dense of a sandwich and packs a good amount of grease. I tapped out after six inches. The owner was a very pleasant fellow and very appreciative of my large order (take out for the office). He even threw in a whole bottle of jalapeno sauce.

    Let me just say, I LOVE Moochie's. When I moved to Salt Lake City, I ended up living right down the street from their location on 800 South. And One night I was hungry. I have enjoyed Philly sandwiches in Philadelphia, and Moochie's blows everything out of the water. I have enjoyed Meatball sandwiches in New York City, and Moochie's blows them out of the water. They also have great bottled drinks you normally can't find anywhere else. Including Huckleberry Soda from jackson hole. Their Macaroni and Potato Salad are also the bomb.

    This is one of my all time favorite places to get food. The meatballs and the philly are out of this world delicious and I can't get enough of the creamy jalapeno sauce. The bread is so soft and fresh! The dining room is small so don't come in a group or plan to take-out. Also try to know what you want before you go so you don't hold up the line.

    11.18.10 first visit ambience: B+ not much to look at. however, for what they do, and they do it well, all the condiments and amenities are laid out perfectly. you can even wash your hands without going to the restroom after your meal. bonus! service: A- order at the front, listen for your name when they call you. quick turn around. as the table we wanted was being vacated, an employee was right on the scene cleaning it off for us. food: A 4 words: cheese. steak. meat. balls. philly cheesesteak 1. bread. great bread. a super thin crispy crust, with a pillowy soft texture inside. so easy to bite through 2. ribeye steak. delicious. 3. onions that had been sweated out - sweet and a ever so slightly salty. 4. cheese. all these disparate elements came together in near perfection. great balance, not too salty or over seasoned. italian meatball as i've said in previous reviews, i'm not really into meatball sandwiches. moochies meatballs are REALLY well done. great flavor, moist, and great texture. and the sauce is good. combine all this with great bread and you've got yourself a winning combo. potato salad good potatoes. what makes this incarnation different from other Psalads? more dill, and sweet and hot peppers. not my favorite, but unique. worth trying. macaroni salad just really good. get it. overall: A- a solid 4 star effort. i don't care if guy fieri talked this place up, moochies isn't resting on its laurels. just solidly good food, with a great attitude behind the counter. i'll be back, with friends, and family.

    Driving through Salt Lake City, I'm so glad we found this place! The atmosphere is charming, and I really love the outside seating area - just a couple of picnic tables seemingly randomly placed on someone's front yard. I had the eggplant parm sandwich, which did not disappoint. And make sure you get the fries. Yum-O.

    Reputation stands for itself...the food is AWESOME! My favorite is the meatball, but the philly steaks are also good. Recommend if... A) The thought of eating a salad for a meal is outrageous. B) You broke up with your girlfriend and need a pick me up. C) You just ran a marathon, can't think of a better reward. D) Looking to eat at a SLC institution!

  • Dan T.

    You can do this the hard way or the easy way. I prefer this formula: Don't think. Don't look at the menu. Order a Philly CheeseSteak Sandwich, wait about 3 minutes, stuff the Philly into mouth and find yourself in beefy-gooey land. Not full? Go back and order their meatball sandwich. Tips: Their pepper bar in the back (south) of the shop rules. I add sliced cherry peppers and always grab a squeeze bottle of their white jalapeno sauce for my Philly. Don't get creative with your order. They are in a small group in Utah of master food purveyors with this philly sandwich... You catch some opinions on how they should make your cheesesteak, and you will get instant attitude from attending staff. They don't come to your job and take the mop out of your hands, do they? ;)

  • Diana L.

    Totally overrated meatballs and extremely mediocre philly cheesesteak. Bland, soggy and generally disappointing ingredients. I couldn't even finish my meatball sandwich. I tried to push it on my boyfriend, who gave up after a few bites, too. And the meatballs were actually better than the philly cheesestake, if you can believe it. One thing I'll say is the fried pickles were pretty good. If I get dragged back there, that's all I'm going to have. Maybe a bag of Maui Onion potato chips. But a sandwich? You couldn't pay me to eat another Moochie's sammy.

    You know those people who say that they have been going to a place since WAY before it was popular. Yeah, I am that guy and my place is Moochies. I used to live about 4 blocks away and I remember seriously considering buying a ceramic mug while waiting for my awesome sandwich to arrive. I can't say I went in before they started serving the best meatball and Philly sandwiches in Salt Lake City but back in the day, this was a pottery shop that served great sandwiches more than it was a sandwich shop. I could go on about how it used to be but now it is a great sandwich shop. The service is friendly and it is nice to see Joanna, the owner, every once in a while behind the counter. I usually get the 6 inch Philly with onions and mushrooms in the meal with potato salad and bread pudding. I always take a side of Jalapeño sauce . This is the perfect big meal. The Philly is the perfect mix of dark steak, cheese, onions, and mushrooms. The sauce is not spicy but has a really great cream flavor that mixes with the beefiness of the sandwich. I have eaten a 12 inch sandwich before and though it was delicious, you don't feel good after doing it. You also need a nap. The potato salad is hands down my favorite in SLC. It is a spicy dill version that I haven't ever had before. At times, it can be too "wet" but the flavor is always right on. The bread pudding is a simple but well executed dessert that always a nice finish to the meal. There are times when I diverge from the usual. The meatball sandwich is excellent if messy. My kids love the spaghetti. It has a very good Italian-american marinara sauce. Go here.

    After seeing this place on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and reading yelp reviews, we decided to try it. DEFINITELY didn't live up to the hype. We got the meatball and the philly, the two most popular, ti share. Meatball was decent, not as flavorful as I expected, the sauce was bland. The philly was extremely disappointing. It wasnt hot, it was almost room temperature. Its supposed to come with onions and cheese, saw maybe one onion and barely there cheese which was smushed in the corner of the bun. The meat was super dry, I didnt finish it. When I went to grab napkins, I looked back at the grill and saw why my sandwich was unsatisfactory. They have a pile of steak on the grill in the corner, sitting there. I understand you need to make batches at a time but having a huge pile sitting there? No wonder my sandwich was a cold, dry mess. Also, we realize you were on a Food Network show, but all of the posters about it get a little annoying.

    Food was AMAZING! Fry sauce was scrumptious...service SUCKED. I am from the Bay Area visiting my brother who raved about this place! When we entered we grabbed menus and immediately were beckoned to register two by an employee who's tone sounded like he'd rather be some place else. We said give us a minute to look at the menu...that went in one ear and out the other because he said in a louder voice, "register 2 is ready for your order." When we approached the register, the employee was less than charming as we ordered our food. $33 dollars later, and 5 min later our food was ready. My brothers meatball sandwich was a cheesesteak...so he took it back to get the proper sandwich. The same dude who took our order actually argued with my brother and than made a smug comment to the chef about the order. Seriously, this guy was a dick! Totally ruined the experience of eating at this place that apparently Guy Fieri was at not too long ago. I will never come back when I visit my brother again!

    Finally, finally, finally, got to try Moochie's! Did it live up to the hype? Abso-effing-lutely! Philly was delicious! I highly suggest adding the mushrooms and peppers,and go with the melted cheddr... mmm! Is it wrong that I want to have an affair with a sandwich? I will be back sooner than later...

    First time in - had to try BOTH the meatball and cheesesteak subs... Ok having lived in Philly for several years...this is not what I considered a Philly Cheesesteak...(not like Pats, Geno's or Jim's) - it had sort of a brown gravy over it...taste wasn't bad - good rib eye - not as fatty as I like it. Yes I like it a bit fatty. They had an interesting jalepeno mayo in squeeze bottles on the tables - which actually matched up well - recommend trying it. The bread which I think is an important part of the equation that is a cheesesteak was not at all like Amoroso's awesome toothy chewy rolls but it wasn't bad had a dense bite to it - not at all bready - which is a good thing Now for the meatball sub... Ok it just so happens that I lived in NYC as well and one of my favorite memories was sharing a whole meatball sub with moms in Queens - so needless to say I'm used to meatball subs as well. This bread this time was a good match for it (same roll) - unlike my previous post on their cheesesteaks - the meatballs were good - soft and big - it could have used more spices for my liking (maybe some marjoram) but now I'm just getting picky - the sauce was good - not bitter like you would see with sub-standard marinaras that rely too much on tomato paste...it could have even used more sauce but that would have made this almost messy uneatable - almost...overall not bad

    The food is fantastic. My daughter loved the cheesetake, my son loved the meatballs and we loved the eggplant. It was the best meal we ate in Salt Lake City while we were visiting! We hit up several restaraunts from the Diners, Drive-Ins and dives and this was by far the best one we visited.

    In my quest to find the worlds best Cheese Steak, Moochie's holds the #1 spot. A couple of months ago I happened to be in Philadelphia. I went to both Geno's and Pat's. Additionally I have been to several places in Utah that say they have cheese steaks. There is no doubt in my mind that Moochies is the best cheese steak I have ever had. The bun had the right amount of crunch on the outside with plenty of heft to hold the meat in. Onions and peppers were perfect. The meat and cheese were delicious. I was full, but sad when I finished, because I wanted more. I tried the fries this last trip. Excellent. The spicy dip was great! We arrived at 11:30am an there was already a big line out the door. Seating is a bit of a problem, but I noticed that some people took their trays outside and went next door. I guess there is seating over there. Who da thunk it? Bottom line. I don't care if the place is poorly laid out, doesn't have enough seating and lacks a bit on ambiance. The food is what matters and this place has it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. (unlike the rudeness you get in Philly). All I can say is, "Moochie, open a second shop up north so I don't have to drive so far!" UPDATE: I went to Moochies again after many months of not going. On the surface, not much has changed. It is still crowded at lunch. However, the experience today was less than what I had hoped. It seems that the quality has fallen off a bit and the price is definitely gone up. It got a 12" steak with provy, onions, peppers, and mushrooms it cost just over $14 with tax. Also, it just didn't seem as good at the first time I went there. Don't get me wrong, it was still excellent, just not outstanding.

    LOVE this place! It's so tasty, but so heavy! I usually am interested in getting foot long sandwiches, but this beast of a resturaunt only serves in sizes that are full meals. Even the 6 in sandwich could be too much for some people! All in all, I really like the sandwiches. I got mine to go and man, if I've got one complaint about the place, it's that their sandwiches do not keep. I wish they'd have given us a container of cheesesteak and the buns seperately because by the time I actually ate my sandwich after a 15 minute drive, it was soaked through with the oily deliciousnes of the cheesesteak. I like to keep clean when I eat. ;) Of all the places I've tried in SLC, this place is the best and rivals cheesesteaks I've had just about anywhere else! Not for the health conscious!

    So, back in December my co-worker found out that I am going to Salt Lake to board, he requested a philly cheesesteaks from Moochie's because he saw them on Diner, Drive-ins and Dives. I headed toward to Moochies's on my way back to the airport on Sunday...... Darn, they are closed! I forgot this is Utah! So this past Friday I made an efford to hit the place when I landed in Salt Lake again. We barely got there before it closed at 7:30pm! Well, the meatball sandwich is saucey and delicous! So is the cheesesteaks. It worked out perfectly when my friend and I share a 12" of each. Yummmmm.... I barely finished the 6" cheesesteak, and had to take a break to sample the meatball sandwich. It lived up to its name, and it was a great way to load up some caleries before hitting the slope. Oh... the price is fair, and it beats dinning at some fancy place in Park City. It used to be only a potery studio, but the owner starting to make the cheesesteak since she was from philly, it gotten so popular now that they have a full cafe area that sells potery on the side. Make sure you take a picture with the John Wayne cutout. My only complain? Can't pick up a sandwich on Sunday for my co-worker! Sorry Tom!

  • Zach F.

    Once again Moochies killed it! Great cheesesteak! The bread today was absolute perfection. Soft, but the crust had a little crunch. Seriously the best. With their new digs you have your sandwich almost as soon as you pay, which is nice for lunchtime. Everyone working here was pleasant as well. Only downside is parking can be a bear sometimes.

    Is it wrong of me to admit I'd secretly hoped Moochie's wouldn't live up to its reputation? I dated a guy from Philly who wouldn't shut up about Moochie's throughout the entirety of the two months we spent with each other. The only thing we managed to discuss more was where he wanted our relationship to go, thus kiboshing both a future together and my plans to eat cheesesteaks at any time in it. So I was reluctant to visit Moochie's at all (lest I run into its number one fan), and only did so under a cloud of intense scrutiny. I don't know that I've ever had a real Philly cheesesteak anyway, so I certainly wasn't searching for some local version to satisfy cravings. Nor am I much of a sandwich fan in general. Let's put it this way: very little was working in favor of an exceptional rating here. Then I tried the food. A gargantuan pile of grilled steak, onions, peppers, and mushrooms smothered in Cheez Whiz and homemade marinara changed my mind instantly--to my utter astonishment. And a quarter of that footlong was only half of the equation. Another split of an Atomic meatball sub, peppered with creamy feta and a just-spicy-enough jalapeno sauce, had me wondering if a future with Philly guy would have really been so bad. The eclectic variety of other items offered here is a tad superfluous but kitschily charming, especially via handwritten menu boards and countertop package displays. I tried nothing but those two sandwiches and a soda, but may be enticed to purchase a Tasty Cake next time I visit. And there will be a next time. Just don't let the natives know I'll go slightly less authentic on my second round--the only thing I'd change about a cheesesteak at Moochie's is a hold on the marinara. Which, to their credit, is how their signature sandwich is served if you don't go out of your way.

    Being that at one point in time I lived on Philly's doorstep, I am a bit of a snob when it comes to Philly Cheese Steaks. Moocie's was a pleasent surprise out west. The steaks are hot, tasty and come quick. Though it looks quiet and humble from the outside, Moochie's is a phenominal place to sit down and have some good old Philadelphia Comfort food. Every time I head out to Salt Lake the first thing on my mind is "When am I going to get to run back to Moochie's?" The staff is laid back and cool about everything. Just about the only thing that this place does which is not cool is not accepting American Express for any order under $50. Other than that this place takes the cake, the meaty cheesy cake that is.

    This place does it right. Great subs with good customer service. Moochie really knows her stuff. I like the pizza steak which is a philly cheesesteak sandwich with peperoni and marinara sauce added. Hot, fresh, delish. The meatballs are awesome. They are so big she cuts them in half to get them on the sub. The italian sub is huge with nice, fresh deli style meats. I recommend calling a head then by passing the ordering line and going straight to the pick up counter.

    Authentic and delicious, Moochie's delivers great cheesesteaks and amazing comfort food. I'm a dedicated Moochie's fan for about four years running after living in the neighborhood nearby and being introduced by a friend. They used to have a punch card program, which I miss, and I made it through a few punch cards in what must have been record time. The staple items are the meatball sandwich, which is great, and the cheesesteak, to which you can add mushrooms or peppers. I prefer it plain (steak, onions, cheese) with extra cheese on occasion. Other menu items have also been great - the salami sandwich comes immediately to mind. It's the cheesesteak that keeps me coming back, and to me, Moochie's is the only cheesesteak in town.

    Went for the meatball. Came away with a big smile. The seasonings and the sauce are excellent. I could hardly finish a 6". We wanted to take these to go, but there is no way you can eat these messy things in the car. We killed a lot of trees with the amount of napkins we used. Potato salad and brownie were pretty good. Nice selection of chips. And they have little cokes in the glass bottle. No ice tea? This place is run with machine-like precision. It has to be that way with the crowds pouring in. Fortunately it was nice and sunny out so we could sit outside. Very strange layout with the adjoining house for extra seating. You have to go outside after picking up your order to go to the other house where the bathroom is. Sounded like they were doing some construction in back. Maybe this odd architecture will be remedied.

    I've never liked Cheesesteaks until Moochie's. Seriously delicous, each and everytime I go I have to order a foot long. Even though I know that half way through it I will be stuffed, its so good you have to power your way through the other half. They also have a killer reuben, when I go it's always between the Cheesesteak and the Reuben. Both are perfection.

  • Matt M.

    The atomic meatball sub was By far the best meatball sandwich I've ever had. It had the perfect amount of heat and lots of delicious feta cheese. The Philly Cheesesteak was also delicious. The bread was yummy and the meat was juicy and tender. I would definitely go back.

    Great - must try meatball sandwich - definitely try the Jalapeno sauce - you will not regret it. The heat can vary but it enhances the sandwich perfectly. They're known for their philly cheese steak but I just found it to be pretty good...

    This is the best steak and cheese sandwich I have had in Utah of the places I have tried so far! And it's going to be very hard to beat! I know that the "Philly cheesesteak" sub is called that for an affiliation with Philly etc etc but I never had one in Philly so I can't compare but I will say that the cheesesteak sub is a popular sandwich on the east coast and you can get a great one anywhere in the Boston area which is where I moved from. Moochies steak and cheese sandwiches are served in bread that is baked crisp which is nice. The thing is just HUGE!!! It took me awhile to eat it - even a 6 inch one - and I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day!!! The service there is great, can't wait to go back!

    (5)
  • Merie H.

    Just awesome. This place has really great character. Even though I am a Philly cheesesteak fanatic, I opted for a ham and swiss sandwich and it wasn't disappointing. The bread they use there is great and don't get me started on the jalapeño sauce. I'm definitely making it a point to come back here for lunch in the near future.

    I went in here with the excitement that it's been on TV, so if Guy liked it, I have to try it. I got the Philly Cheesesteak. It was HUGE, I ate about half of it. Loved the jalepeno sauce. Use that for a dip for any of the sides and your good to go. My boyfriend has since bought me a Moochie's shirt to show our love for the place.

  • Karen C.

    I've been waiting to try this place after hearing about it from my friend and all I have to say is "totally awesome!!" It reminds me of the philly cheese steaks I had in Philadelphia. One thing that I was a bit upset about was NO FRIED PICKLES - they don't offer it anymore, so the menu I was looking at was probably old. They redeem themselves with the sweet potatoes fries, which was delicious with the fries sauce. The pickled jalapeno peppers was a little too hot for my liking but it was yummy. Sandwiches are ginormous, so if you eat like a bird... share. I was only able to finish half of the 6" philly sandwich. I'll be back next time

  • Dustin B.

    Considering how much people rave about this place it's hard to say how it compares. Frankly I think it's over-rated, but only because people talk as if God himself is making the sandwiches. Its not THAT good, but they are really good cheesesteaks. So many places I get cheesesteaks they are just too peppery, pepper can be great but I should be able to taste something else besides that. These were just perfect, you could taste pepper but you didn't feel like you were sucking on a pepper shaker. I got the cheesesteak loaded with mushroom pepper and onion, and with all that veg it was pretty juicy. You'll need lots of napkins but it's worth it. The optional jalapeno sauce is also good but in high amounts hides the flavor of the sandwich. I'd recommend trying some but use it to augment and enhance the flavor, not overwhelm it. Lastly you might want to avoid the prime lunch hour because of lines, come in about 2pm and you'll be fine.

    I have not found a better cheese steak in SLC yet, these are the best. With all the fixings (onions, mushrooms and bell peppers) I can even rationalize getting a fair share of my daily servings of vegetables when I have one of these!

  • Jenn W.

    My husband and I decided to give this place a try as we tried to remember the last time we had a good Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and couldn't recall!! These sandwiches are to die for!!! The shop itself is super small and seating is very limited, and parking is also very difficult as well. The sandwiches are meaty and a 6 inch will more than fill you up. When we are back in Salt Lake we will definitely be stopping in again!

    Good but not super impressed. I have had both the meatball sub and the cheesesteak, and neither one was all that great. Decent food but probably won't be coming back here with better options nearby.

    You can often tell how good the food is in a restaurant by how busy it seems during lunchtime. I really enjoy finding the "hole in the wall" or "hidden diner" that although tucked away in a remote neighborhood has awesome food. If you see a lot of cars lined up outside around the lunch hour then its probably a safe bet that the food is pretty good inside. Thus is the case for my inaugural foodar review post at Moochies off of 800 South and 250 East. Moochies wasn't always the cult lunchtime spot in Salt Lake City, located just a few blocks West of Liberty Park. It used to be just a small pottery shop called Circle Pottery. I remember a friend and I were having some Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches over at East Coast Subs on State Street and while reading through a copy of City Weekly, we noticed a small advertisement for Moochies Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches located in the back of a pottery shop. Being fans of the Philly Cheesesteak we were intrigued to go try this new place out. A few days later I drove by and found the place, although you would never know there was a restaurant there, I went in not knowing what to expect. Walking in for the first time, the walls were lined with pottery creations with small price tags as well as classic garage tin signs for sale. I walked up to the counter in the back of the store and ordered my first Moochies cheesesteak sandwich, and thus history was made. The lady asked if I would like mushrooms on my sandwich, which my reply was of course "yes". She then explained that the original cheesesteak sandwiches over in Philly made their sandwiches with Cheese Whiz American cheese, and she asked if I would like to get mine with provolone. I opted for the provolone cheese. Sometimes I think back on that day. What if I would of gotten my sandwich without the mushrooms or without provolone cheese? Although still awesome tasting, would it of been the same life changing event that transpired that day? No my sandwich was a masterpiece, but it would only get better. I was also introduced to Moochies famous jalapeno sauce. Jalapeno Sauce deserves it's own paragraph, tome, volume, discussion, thesis... all by itself. I'm not even sure what it is really made off, other than I'm pretty sure there are ground up jalapeno bits inside. Scholars have researched for years its contents and all the major universities and institutions in the world still don't fully agree what is in the sauce. Maybe fairy dust, maybe some reminent of a highly addictive drug, or perhaps gypsy tears. This stuff is AWESOME!!! They handed me my own bottle of Jalapeno Sauce and I walked over to my table with Jalapeno Sauce, 12 inch Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, and a batch of fresh garlic cheese bread and marinara sauce. As I begin to eat, a small tear came to my eye. Not because the jalapeno sauce was spicy hot (it wasn't) but because the food was so good I though I had been trasported to Philadephia heaven. I asked myself "I can't believe this is happening to me". The japalpeno sauce was so good. The bread was so fresh and crunchy on the outside, but chewy on the inside. I made sure that as I took every carefully selected bite, that each morsel was properly garnished with jalapeno sauce as to achieve the proper meat to sauce ratio in my mouth. I wasn't going to let a single bite go to waste, or enter my mouth unprepared. Now these sandwiches are a foot of carnivore bliss and even though I was getting so full and my belly was despertly begging my mouth to stop, I just had to continue on it was so good. The meat was tender and juicy. The cheese intertwined with the meat, and with mushrooms and sauce. Every bite was better and better. The garlic bread side didn't play second-fiddle either. You have two slices of toasted sandwich bread, with a handful of shredded cheese inside, that was naturally melting inside the warm epicenter of the package. You read that right. They don't melt the cheese on for you, they let the natural heat melt the cheese. What resulted was cheesy, garlicy, toasty, delicousy, heavnly, yum-yum-ness that is beyound description. I somehow managed to fit all this food into my stomach. I leaned back in my chair and let out a nice solid burp that really was a nice cap to my meal. or so I thought. I got up from my chair and went over to look in the display case and noticed there were some packages of "Tasty Cakes" that were imported from Philadelphia. I asked the lady behind the counter to tell me about the "Tasty Cakes". She just looked at me and asked me in a sweet angelic voice. "Do you want some Tasty Cakes". Uhhhhh. Duh? You mean to tell me there is something called a "Tasty Cake" and I'm not going to try it. I again whipped out my debit card and ordered me some tasty cakes to take with me on my trip back to the office.

    "Bout time ya got around ta writ'n a revoo a' dis joint! Hell Pa, It's been a cupple months, ya lazee old fart! (This, from Ma Megabyte, who is The Captain's Spouse, Partner in Crime, and Chief Tormentor) Sigh... Well here I am Ma! And for the love of meat balls, please stop calling me Pa! "Oops sorry Capn'n Cheeze Hole, or whuttever yer a' callin yerself these days." Ahem! Loyal Pie Holers, near and far, especially those residing in Salt Lake City, Utah! You locals already pretty well know what I am about to relate about this quirky, loveable eatery, which was featured some time ago on "Diners Drive Ins and Dives", by the redoubtable Guy Fieri. The Captain tried one of their meatball sammies back in Jan, 09. Knowing he would return for the holidays at the end of that year, he wanted Ma to be there with him so the review could be thorough and well rounded... "Jist like you Cap'n... Hee Hee." SEE HERE! Write your own review of this joint if you want to, but stop butting into mine! "Okay Pa! Sheesh! Crunching through frozen slush, Ma and CPH approached the joint noting the large galvanized smokestack poking through the roof, which was positively glistening with streaming meat fat! "Yah Cap'n, hopez they gotz their insurance paid up!" Umm... Yes, Ma. Believing this boded well for a meal of sensual, voluptuous splendor, promising a sumptous, gluttonous gastronomy, we entered, apparently only minutes before the day's lunch rush hit. We secured a table for two with little trouble. The Captain gallantly allowed Ma to take her ease as he que'd up with the other ravenous reprobates, and called out the menu choices across the room to her, ignoring the frowns of the other patrons elicited by his West Coast bravado. Encouraged by the knowing grins being exchanged by the staff, He ordered a cheese steak sandwich with onions and mushrooms, and with slight trepidation, the eggplant marinara sandwich, which Ma insisted on. Availing themselves heartily of the self serve condiments, they fell upon their subs with lusty abandon. The Captain was mesmerized by the fatty unctuousness and savory glories of the thin sliced steak, the cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms, nestled in a fresh french roll. Ma wasn't quite as thrilled with hers. The bread and marinara were perfect, but the eggplant was mushy and lacked flavor. The Captain reminded her, he had recommended the meatball sub, but... NOOoo! "Yah Pa, ya stingy basterd! Ya wouldn't even give me more than a nibble o' yer cheesesteak!" Well, I offered to order you one of those, or a meat ball sub, but... NOoo! "Awright, Blow Hole! Quit steel'n John Belushi's mateeryal! Steel'n from the livin's bad enuff, but ripp'n off the dead? That's just wrong!" So! Ma Megabyte agrees to agree, a five star review is in order here and... "Whut? Like hell, ya overstuffed bilge bunny, I think.. MPHH! MPHH! Git yer hand offa my... MPHH! MPHH! Mphh... mmm... ZZZZZZZZ!" My! That chloroform is smelly stuff... Oh! Err... Umm. Ma Megabyte and The Captain nodding... I mean signing off. This and all other reviews posted on yelp.com by "Captain Pie Hole" are copyrighted 2009/2010 by Pie Hole Publishing. All rights reserved.

    Best Philly in SLC and the jalapeño sauce is spectacular. The meatball sub is big and messy but very flavorful as well. There is usually a long wait around lunch time but if you go a little early or late you should be fine.

    Being from the around the Philly area, we had to try Moochies after all the good reviews. The meatball sub is good but they were a little too spicy for me. Good cheese and bread. The cheesesteak was a 7 out of 10. Fries were good and the fry sauce hot. Interesting atmosphere what atmosphere there is. Lots of folks who saw it on DDD are there. Quick service.

    We had never heard of the place. We decided to go because of a friend told us it was a great place to eat. We went and had one of their awesome cheesesteaks and the amazing fries. Their jalapeno sauce was amazing, I dipped everything in it. I will definitely go again when I'm back in town.

    Moochie's is DA' BOMB! As a native Philadelphia and a current Angeleno, I am a sucker for all types of food - but there is nothing like a taste of the hometown. Moochie's is the perfect spot for this. All of their sandwiches are homemade and fresh! The Cheesesteak (also known as a Philly) is delicious! The meat is moistened amazingly and with the fresh sauteed veggies - you pick which you want on your sandwhich but I LOVE the mushrooms and peppers! SO GOOD! My next favorite is the meatballs! These are as close to getting Mom's homemade meatballs and gravy as you are going to find. It's the real deal ladies and germs. These homemade Italian delicasies will leave you wanting more. And worth the 1,000 mile travel to get. I highly recommend a fountain soda (coke) and Tastycake to go with your sandwich. The ambiance of the place is just like being at home. Being greeted with a "Hi, how are ya?" and leaving with a full-tummy! Totally worth crossing time zones to get to Moochies!

    I've been here several times now, and I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I think the sandwiches are decent, but not worth the price. Service is very hit or miss- sometimes it is very fast, but on my latest visit I called my order in ahead. I got there 15 minutes after I called it in, and they hadn't even started (the place was pretty empty too)- they did have my order. Then as I waited, the cooks were just playing around in the kitchen, I noticed them set my order on a shelf in the kitchen and not say a word to the cashier. I had to ask for it, and they didn't apologize for the wait. I won't be back again.

    I'm not sure what else i can add regarding the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, but that it really lives up to the reviews. Something about the meat or bread or both is wonderful! Try some of their potato salad too and you get a great little kick the completes the meal. Must try in SLC! p.s. I appreciated the directions to order my sandwich, made me feel less like tourist :)

    Quite honestly I didnt expect much out of Utah. But after trying places like Moochies I had to bite my tongue! This was the best philly cheese steak I have ever had! Now im no Cheese steak aficionado, however I know when something is good, and this was far better than good! Kinda odd decor, but it adds to the charm of this small family run place.

  • Peter B.

    OK. Moochie's is located in Salt Lake City. Salt Lake shouldn't be held to the same standard as Gino's in Philly. You don't order your cheesesteak "whiz whit" or "whiz whit-out". With that being said, the cheesesteaks at Moochie's are very very good. The Meatball sandwiches are great as well. However, I'm very much partial to the cheesesteak. I have to mention that I laughed out loud at the review that stated that they didn't think it was fitting for a cheesesteak to have "american cheese" or a Velveeta taste. Ha! I bet you've never been to Philly. An authentic Philly Cheesesteak has warm Cheese Whiz liberally applied .

    TV can make my frickin underwear look good enough to eat. I am such a sucker for anything on the Food Network but I am quickly realizing that looks can be very deceiving when it comes to food. They are famous for 2 things. The Meatball and the Philly. We ordered both, and both were disappointing. Both were way too bread heavy and severely lacked sauce, grease, something man! Give me some flavor Moochie! The meatball was not flavorful at all and really lacking on sauce, but the cheesesteak was even worse. The steak was bland, somehow they sucked the flavor out of the peppers, the cheese was not even redeeming. Move on my friends, there are much better sandwiches in Salt Lake. Go with Kneaders, House of Bread, or Great Harvest if you want a decent sammie.

    I was in town for business and was tired of eating hotel food so I ventured out to Salt Lake City for lunch. I went with the classic meatball sub and I must admit, I was surprised. The sauce was good, the meatballs were tender and the bread had a nice bite to it. The place is small and seating and parking can be tight; they have outdoor seating but good luck getting a seat with shade. Service with a smile and a great lunch; I'll add this place to my rotation in SLC

    As seen on Drivers, Dine-Ins and Drives, a face of which they will often remind you. Great sandwiches, small joint atmosphere, a decent Philly Cheesesteak (about the best you can have in Utah) and amazing meatball subs. I do like the place, but I don't crave it like I do other restaurants. 4 Stars

    I went back and had the Philly cheesesteak to complete my review. I did this for you! (Not because I'm addicted to foods that kill you. ) The cheesesteak is quite good. It's certainly the best in town, but it's not better than Pat's or Gino's in Philly. I was a little disappointed that they did not have Cheez Whiz--I really like that authentic touch. Anyway--Moochies is awesome. I'll say the Atomic Meatball is my fav, but the cheesesteak is a close second.

    My husband and I love picking up Moochie's when we have one of those "I'm not cooking... Me neither" nights. We usually get a meatball and Philly steak sandwich. The meatballs remind me of the ones my friends Sicilian Nonna would make, delicious, and there is an assortment of peppers to add. The steak is tender and melts in your mouth. We haven't been impressed when we stray for these two sandwiches, although admittedly we only did that once. If you decide to go the onion rings are MUST try they have a light crispy batter, not bread crumbs.

    This place is about the best in Utah for steaks. . . moving here from the east coast makes you a snob when it comes to certain foods, like everything. . . But I was told to go here for the cheesesteaks and I was not disappointed. . Its a definite go-to in Salt Lake. Messy, great sauce, hole-in-the-wall hidden gem.

    Place is EXCELLENT. I go once a week. If your in Salt Lake hit it. I do the the onions and cheese. Although they have peppers and mushrooms too. They have bar with banana peppers and both hot and sweet cherry vinegar peppers. A real good jalapeno sauce too. Have to say never tried the meatball though. I do the steak. Only thing is I tend to be real thirsty afterwords. So far this is the best eats in Salt Lake City by far. Airport layover or driving through worth a trip. FYI, $2.00 bus ride from the airport.

    I great hole in the wall place to eat. Nothing fancy, nothing frilly, but the food was great and the service was quick and with a smile. I had the original Philly and it was fantastic. With your own self serve peppers of several varieties it's easy to customize your Philly as well.

    Ok people, I went back for the meatball sub, and again for the philly. I'm glad I did; this place is great! Huge portions, juicy subs, big selection of soft drinks. Next time, I'll try the Reuben (even though it's hard for me to eat a reuben sandwich without a potato pancake on the side). ;)

  • Fausto C.

    Decided to stop here after I saw it on Diners Drive Ins and Dives and was on a business trip. Had the standard meatball sandwich. It was very good, the bread was soft and the meatballs were juicy not dry like other meatball sandwiches I've had. It had a lot of sauce and good thing they give it to you in butcher paper because it can get messy. I like spicy food so tried the white jalapeno sauce after a recommendation from a customer there, good thing I did. It was unique but gave the sandwich a great kick. Overall its a small place but the meatball sandwich was very good, highly recommended!

    I came to Utah for work and had to visit Moochie's because (1) I wasn't sure of where else to eat in Salt Lake City and (2) Everyone raves about this place. I got there around 1:00 PM and there was a little line that was starting to inch out the door. The place is small, but they have another dining room next door. The line went quickly and before I knew it, my meatball sub was ready. I got the smaller size with a side of potato salad. I really liked that they had a huge selection of peppers available. Peppercinis, sliced jalapenos, cherry peppers and whole peppercinis. Perfect for a spicy food lover like me! I opened my sandwich and the first thing I smelled was the lovely scent of tomato and oregano! The bread was crisp on the outside, but the inside was soft and had soaked up all the marinara. Melty provolone provided a nice barrier to keep the bread from getting too soggy. The meatballs were delicious; not too dense and nicely flavored, but they were just a little too big and I had a hard time keeping all the meatballs inside my sandwich while I was eating it. I had to keep re-stuffing the end meatball back into the sandwich so it wouldn't plop onto my tray. They make huge baseball sized meatballs and cut them in half for the sandwiches. The potato salad definitely had an interesting kick to it. Not your typical potato salad, as this one was loaded up with mustard, dill and what I thought was dill pickle juice. If you're not a fan of pickles, you're not going to enjoy this. I actually enjoyed the "zing" that it provided and scarfed it down. Before I left, I also stopped by to grab one of their daily specials for the plane ride home. The lamb sausage with peppers, onions and mushrooms was good, but I felt that the lamb sausage was lacking in flavor. It had the gaminess that lamb is associated with (which I enjoy) but the seasonings fell short. The nice girl at the register did let me know that the lamb sausages were made with local Utah lamb.

    I have had cheesesteaks all over the planet and this is the best. No wonder it was on Diners, Drive-in's and Dives! The Fries were good and the fry sauce is awesome with a nice kick. A must eat for the sandwich lover!

    Went here because of Triple D's recommendation with Guy Fiere. It really is a hole in the wall dive, very eccentric. The people taking your order and cooking it up also look like punk rockers with lots of tatoo's, mohawks and body piercings. We ordered the Philly Cheese Steak fully loaded. It really was delicious and the jalapeno sauce went with it perfectly. All in all it was a really fun experience and good food.

    hands down best cheesesteak ive had. this place holds a legendary place among my food experiences from all over the world. yes it was very busy but well worth the wait. the sandwich's are huge and worth every doller. i got a chicken cheesesteak with peppers, shrooms, and the jalapeño sauce. this place is true east coast from the owners, the bread, chips, italian ice and even tasty cakes. loved every bite and no cheesesteak has been able to hold a candle since.... even in philly

    After I saw Guy Fieri chortle down one of Moochie's Philly Cheesesteaks on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (damn, that should have been my show), I had to have one for myself ... How was it? The Best dang Philly Cheesesteak in Salt Lake City. Postsrcipt: Not sure why some of the other reviewers do not agree, I can only chalk it up to a maligned Utah palate. In general, restaurant food in this locality sucks, big time. I've lived in most regions of the USA and have to report that Salt Lake City is the culinary black hole of the nation. When you find a gem like Moochie's, it is serendipity indeed ...

  • Sam S.

    Holy cow. Best big, meaty, messy sandwiches in town. This place is amazing. The meatballs are fantastic, and the sauce they're drenched in is even better. Add cheese and a little mayo and you'll be satisfied for days to come. And that's even before you bring up their philly cheese steak... This place is a must try. Yeah, the sandwiches are greasy, messy, and probably takes a full week at the gym to work off. But there's nothing quite like it in SLC. Probably best to wear a dark-colored shirt. Not a place for vegetarians though...sorry... And they sell pottery too. Wha?

    I just don't see it, yelper steered me wrong here. I have to go with my buddy Charles on this and say it was nothing to be impressed by. I saw it on triple D and got all excited but I'm just not into greasy and over peppered Philly cheese steak sandwiches. It was a rumble in my belly jungle all day after not to mention i had moochies stained fingers for like two days. I would take a Great Steak Escape at the mall any day before taking moochies to the gut.

    tasty cheese steaks! I got a 12in Philly cheese w/added mushrooms (didn't dig the mushrooms) and made it a Moochie's meal for 2.89 which included choice of either potato or macaroni salad and a dessert of brownie, bread pudding or baklava. the annoying part of the meal is that it doesn't include a drink... and they only have canned drinks so -1 star! the upside is that a 12in could easily be split with two people and split in 3 for kids! they're huge!!! and those who don't dig beef they offer a cheese-chicken steak, and those vegetarian's they have a grilled veggie sandwich. they have an affordable menu with a good selection or hot/cold sandwiches, salads, entrees, desserts and a kids menu @ $3.00-4.00 (spaghetti, spaghetti w/1/2 huge meatball, grilled cheese or 3in ham/cheese sandwich) next time I'm in id like to try their homemade deep dish lasagna or a meatball sub!!!!! they also cater

    The Philly is awesome. There are other places in town with very good traditional phillies, if you want the cheese whiz jam. They have something much more delicious- a jalapeno sauce. My favorite is actually the meatball sub!

    The Philly is probably the best sandwich in Utah. This is a great place to get a bite to go eat at the park because it is usually too crowded to want to eat there.

    I was thinking about that meatball sandwich all week, but was stuck in Colorado for most of the week and finally got over to moochies for lunch yesterday. The Meatball was everything I expected and more. The other bonus was they had a deep dish lasagna yesterday for the lunch special that was also incredible.

    I love cheese steaks, but this place just didn't cut it for me. A cheese steak for me should be overflowing meat, cheese, garnishes, and flavor - their sandwich was too saucy, and bland. The atmosphere is great, and the staff friendly. I would come again due to the proximity to my work, but if I had an extra 15 minutes, I would drive to Sandy to visit place whose store is extremely dirty, yet serves one-hell-of-a philly. A few of you have asked me of the place in Sandy - and although I purposely omitted the name so the review, I will provide the name to save a few questions - The Philadelphian around 9800 South and 700 East. Again, not the cleanest place by far, but tasty cheese steaks, great hot pepper combination, and fresh fries.

  • Corinne P.

    Moochie's is delicious! I tried the meatball and the cheesesteak and both were excellent. The cheesesteak definitely benefitted from adding peppers and mushrooms. One of my favorite parts was the bread, it was so soft and tasted freshly baked. I'll definitely be returning!

    (4)
  • Warren Y.

    Philly cheese are delicious here! and the fries are also good! I have tried the meatball but it's not as great as I thought it would be after reading several reviews about how great they are. Only giving Moochies 3 stars because the 3 out of the 4 times I ate here they messed our order up! and once I even had to drive all the way back to pick my order up and after re-iterating my order several times I still got a foot long meatball after I specifically said I wanted a 6" inch "authentic philly cheese steak".. But overall I had a great experience had the place has a good vibe to it.

    (3)
  • Caremy K.

    Delicious! We ordered the cheese steak with peppers, the meatball sub, and a side of sweet potato fries. The cheese steak was our favorite - the bread was awesome, the meat was flavorful, and the peppers were yummy. We have been to Pat's, Ginno's, and John's cheese steaks in Philly - this one was just as good. They serve your sandwich with a side cup of their jalapeno sauce - I recommend grabbing one of the squeeze bottles from the counter when you get your food because the sauce is so good you will need more than the side cup. I noticed another recent review complaining that they only had canned drinks and took 1 star off because of that...I am guessing they didn't notice the giant fountain machine to the right. When you walk up to the counter, there is a fridge with bottled/canned drinks to your left - if you want a fountain drink, it is just to the right of where you pick up your food.

    I saw Moochie's on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives several months ago, so this was on my list while visiting Salt Lake. I was not disappointed, except that I wish I could have ordered one of everything! The cheese steak sandwiches were excellent, even an hour or so later when we ate them at home. I loved the sweet potato fries, as well as the accompanying jalapeno dip sauce.

  • John M.

    OMFG, what a meatball sandwich! I finished half and had the other half for breakfast. My wife plowed through a whole eggplant parm sammy in one sitting. Our friends split a philly and meatball and were very quiet during the devour. This place is tasty.

  • Ned S.

    You will not not find a better Philly cheesesteak anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley. I love the hole in the wall atmosphere and the employees are great. I highly recommend this place for a locals lunch in Salt Lake. FYI- it is crowded every time I go in and seating is limited, so get it to go if the weather does not allow for sitting outside. For that same reason, it is not a great place for groups, but the trade off is well worth it.

    The Philly Cheesesteak lives up to it's Hype. Hands Down the BEST I've ever had. Not that I've had a lot of Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches in my life, but I've had a couple. This thing was so good that I got full 3/4 of the way through the sandwich, but I knew if I stopped eating it, I would hate myself. So I pushed through and ate the whole thing. It is TOTALLY Worth the money. I would fly back to Utah to get it, if I had the money to.

    I like going to Moochie's for quick lunch. I love the meatball sandwiches here. It's delicious but really messy. I have to eat it over a few napkins or I'll have to go home and change before heading back to work. The staff is very efficient, but there's still a long wait when it's busy. Probably want to avoid peak lunch hours (around noon-1pm) if you don't have time to spare.

    Moochies doesn't need any more positive reviews but I went here the other day and it really is great. The only problem with Moochies is that it is overpriced, but if people are willing to pay the price I guess I can't blame them for charging so much.

    100% Completely overrated......a 100% disappointment. I thought the food was mediocre at best. American cheese on a Philly was disgusting.....the Velveeta taste completely over-powered all the other ingredients. There was no other option for another type of cheese......until we asked after the fact, then the worker said, "yeah, we have other cheese...." I think the worst part of this place was all of their "rules"......WAY too many rules for the customers. When I ordered I asked if I could get my Philly cut in 1/2 and have the other 1/2 wrapped to go (because I knew I wouldn't be able to finish the entire thing). The response was "No, they don't really like to do that". Hmmm. Okay. I pay for my sandwich and soda (to the tune of about 10 bucks) and then see several signs posted here and there about what you can and cannot do as a customer......The two "rules" that stick out in my mind (it's been a few months since I was there), were something to the effect of don't put the peppers from the "pepper bar" in the plastic cups that are sitting out for water. Instead you are supposed to use a piece of pre-cut foil to put your peppers on. What? Give me a break! I mean really, if you're going to have a "pepper bar", shouldn't you provide something sensible to put the peppers in? The second "rule" (and this is the one that made me realize I don't need to return to Moochie's) is posted above the trash can and was something to the effect of "do not throw away cups with water in them....go behind the counter and dump the water out in the sink and then throw away your cup"......again, WHAT? I worked at an Italian deli all through high school and took out my fair share of garbage with liquid in the bag. Was it gross? Yes. Did it often leak? Yes. Was it my job to clean it up? Yes. That's part of owning an eating establishment.....cleaning up after the customer!!! If I wanted to go behind the counter and dump my leftover water out in the sink, I would have stayed at home. And trying to pawn off the Costco baked goods at extremely inflated prices was almost comical! When asked if the cake was from Costco (which is was, because I know a Costco "All American Chocolate Cake" when I see one....), the worker shrugged his shoulders...... Yeah, customer service at it's finest. Obviously, I won't be back......I have NO CLUE why this place has such a stellar following. No meatball anywhere is worth that kind of hassle......

    I tried DP Cheesesteaks about a month ago. First of all, I've never been to Philly. I also happen to not be a fan of cheesesteaks in general - I've never really found one I liked. They're either too dry, too bready, etc. But, after reading high reviews and craving some serious beef, I decided to try this place. Today I ate at Moochie's Meatballs and more. Having now tried both of "Salt Lake City's Best Cheesesteaks", I will give my vote on Cheesesteaks to DP Cheesesteaks. Here's the differences: DP Cheesesteaks: clean, almost sterile looking deli, very friendly staff. Per reviews on here, I decided to go with the Garlic Whiz Cheesesteak. I don't like onions, so I didn't get any onions or peppers. The sandwich was AMAZING! The meat was succulent, moist, and there was a good amount of it. Lots of delicious cheesy goodness with a hint of garlic... this sandwich was just great. So great that I have craved it steadily for the last month! My only negative comment would be that I didn't really like the bread - it's a thick roll that is a bit too dry for my taste although it tastes fresh. It's just a breadier roll than I prefer, and not that soft. Moochies: Hole-in-the-wall (but with good amount of parking!), atmosphere inside that's screams "trendy hole-in-the-wall semi-run down place" that existed before that scene became trendy so it feels natural, not forced. Very friendly staff, very fast service. I ordered a cheesesteak with Cheesewiz (paid the upgrade price from American cheese), without onions (because I still don't like them). The meat was a little drier than I'd prefer, and it seemed stingy on the cheese. There was no dripping or oozing of anything, which I actually found to be a bad thing. The big plus: its served on what tastes like toasted french bread. The bread was perfect! I wish DP Cheesesteaks had this bread. I think the bread was perfect for the sandwich, the toastiness was great, and it wasn't too bready. Other than that though, the sandwich wasn't that exciting. Not bad, mind you, but not as juicy as I would have liked. Better with a little of the jalapeno sauce. I tried the Fry Sauce at Moochies and thought it had a nice kick, also very nice drink selection for bottled sodas. I'm not a big fan of spicy, but their Jalapeno sauce was really good. Moochies has a pepper bar if you're a fan (I'm not, but I can imagine I would have been happy if I was). Both sell a variety of Tastykakes, which are from Philly, although I have not tried them. Rest of the menu: Moochies has a lot more options I think, and they also sell chips and fries. I didn't try the fries so I won't comment on them. DP Cheesesteaks has a smaller menu and only chips. Mostly steak-oriented sandwiches (although you can substitute). Now Moochies has a meatball sandwich, which may be their namesake. In my opinion, the cheesesteak holds nothing to their meatball! Definitely skip the cheesesteak and get the Meatball Sandwich! It was amazing! So in summary, I would go to DP Cheesesteaks for my cheesesteak, but if you're at Moochie's, maybe ask for extra cheese? Otherwise just get the meatball and you'll definitely be happy!

    So we're stranded in our hotel in Salt Lake City on a recent rainy night. There's a great college football game on the big tv in the lobby, but the food at the hotel is what you'd expect, bland looking and sounding. My husband, the hero, runs out to Moochie's (you're not going to eat there, believe me) and comes back with a philly cheese steak sub that feeds two fifteen year-olds and a meatball sub that feeds the two of us, plus our ten year old. We split an extraordinary homemade brownie for dessert. The food is large, but more importantly, fresh and delicious. The meatballs weren't perfectly round mystery meat out of a bag, they were hand made. The philly was made to order and stuffed with hand chopped beef. Worth a trip if you're in Salt Lake.

    Moochie's is great if you have the patience to wait for AWHILE. Don't even bother at lunchtime if you don't have an hour to burn. That said, the food is delicious albeit overpriced in my opinion. The Philly was well put together but the cheese wasn't really a 'part' of the sandwich if that makes sense. More of an afterthought than anything. The seating is really limited when it gets busy so it may be best just to get it to-go from Moochies.

    Great tasting food, too-high prices. If they were located in Times Square, ten dollars for a 6 inch sandwich and cheap drink would make sense. But they're not. I've eaten at Moochies over a dozen times between 2009-2010, because I love the taste. Maybe they've raised the prices after the re-model to catch up, or maybe I'm just noticing the prices as they've always been - either way, their food is not worth the pricetag. A 12 inch steak sub is what I'd normally order, and that will fill me up. But today, I didn't want to spend $15. And then I realized that the place is too expensive for me. If I have to pay $15 to feel full and satisfied during my lunch break, there's something wrong. I could go to a nice, overpriced deli with much higher quality food and pay $5 less for a sandwich that will fill me up... I'm over this place. The price is wrong for this great tasting sandwich.

    When we went to Salt Lake City, we had to try this place. Yep got the Meatball sandwich. It was messy and wonderful...so good. It is a 'Dive' but that's what made it so much fun. The staff was friendly and the service was quick and did I mention the meatball sandwich was good? I don't think I would have ever found this place on my own and I would be missing out. It's not the end all be all, but it was really good and worth the find.

  • Matt G.

    Not sure what all the hype is about. Quantity and not quality is the way I would describe this little hole in the wall. I couldn't wait to have the, "best Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly"... a pretty bold statement if you ask me. I would wholeheartedly disagree. The bread was soft and warm, but the meat tasted old. There wasn't enough cheese and the cheese wasn't incorporated with the rest of the sandwich. It left a lot to be desired. I would call it "fair" at best.

    i spent some time in Phila., went to Gino's, Pat's, others. Great there. But this is Salt Lake, and this is the best steak I have had in Utah. No doubt. Bummer is, chips only, no fries. Oh well, you can't have everything. Excellent ste

    It just goes to show that just because someone on the food network says it's good doesn't make it so but it sure makes the prices higher. The philly cheese sandwich isn't very flavorful unless you add jalepeos. It's way too greasy. I ordered a 12 inch with mushrooms for me and my husband to share. It was over just over $11

    We came to Utah to visit family and my cousin suggested Moochies and I saw this place on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...and it is by far the best philly cheesesteak on the west side! During our week stay in Utah we went to Moochies twice!

    E-A-G-L-E-S !!! This was unreal. Mushroom cheesesteak sweet peppers and pickles to die for !! Two very hungry people had problem :) finishing 12 inch. Wow is all I can say, and I've had 'em all in Philly and surrounds. Can't wait to try the meatball. So much food, so little time.

    Probably one of the best places in Utah to have a great lunch, they will make your sandwich to order, the large is more then most can eat. I've had a real philly cheese steak in Philly and you dont get any thing more there then at Moochies, give this place a try, you should be happy.

  • Jer E.

    My buddy from Philly introduced me. Being a westerner, meat and cheese on a bun pretty much tastes the same. But I do think they make a good steak (I like the sausage and peppers myself), the meatball is tasty, and all are good'n greasy (in a good way). The place is small, kinda run down, kinda spendy, but it's close to home and the people are nice. Give it a try!

    Amazing cheesesteaks! Next time I am in SLC, I will be definitely be getting another one. Great outdoor seating in the summertime, but the indoor seating is very limited, so I'm sure it's not as great in the winter.

    Always a treat! You can never go wrong with a Philly cheese steak. One note though, the 12" sandwich is massive. You must be very hungry or like leftovers to take on that challenge.

    I've had the Philly cheesesteak & meatball sandwich but the first time I had the cheesesteak, I was wishing I had ordered 2 of them lol! So delicious! I'd love it if they had better heating in the Wintertime because I avoid it. It's uncomfortably cold. Other than that, I love to eat here!

    That was a visit to food heaven. We had there philly cheesesteak, fries and fried raviolli. They were all delicious especailly the cheesesteak.. it had the right amount of steak, cheese and onions mixed to pure perfections. the fried ravioli was similar to mozzarella sticks in taste and they were fantastic. We will be back

    Moochie's is a funky hole in the wall type restaurant in Salt Lake City. They serve up a variety of sandwiches and other eats including cheesesteak sandwiches. I've eaten here a few times and their cheesesteaks are pretty tasty. The beef is lean and well cooked, the onions and cheese are good, and everything is served up on a fresh, lightly toasted bun. Want to spice it up? Grab their homemade jalapeño sauce or visit the free pepper bar and spice your sandwich up as you like it! Overall it's a real good cheesesteak sandwich. I do think they'd be even better if the meat was seasoned a little more and if they had some more cheese -- but that's a minor quibble. As an added bonus, unlike other cheesesteaks Moochie's doesn't leave me feeling like I just ate a bucket of grease. Prices are cheap and service is fast. Lunch for two was $15. That's a deal! I'll definitely be eating here again!

  • Greg L.

    I stopped in and I tried the Meatball 6 inch and the Philly Cheese Steak the way previous Yelpers have prescribed. Wow! Loved them both and I look forward to visiting this establishment again. I may check out the Midvale location in the near future here. I hope the quality translates, oh yes the Jalepeno sauce was a delight. Do you only use that with the Philly or can you also use that with the Meatball? Maybe I should take more risks as an "eater of food." Have a great day!

  • Aaron S.

    This place is amazing! Every time I come to salt lake city I always stop by here for a philly cheesesteak sandwich. They are by far the best in Salt Lake. The meat is flavorful the cheese is gooey and plentiful, the onions are cooked to perfection. They have a jalapeno ranch sauce that everyone has to try at least once. I'm currently on a 12 step program to kick my addiction for the delicious sauce, but that's a personal problem. If you are in town you need to try it out. You can thank me later. Tell them Aaron sent you.

    I have been back several times in the last 20 days, when I are here for my first time. The meatball sub is very good too . However, there pastrami is probably the worst I have ever had. I threw half of my sandwich away. My advice is to stick with what's popular.

    I like checking out new cheesesteak places while visiting other cities since I'm originally from outside of Philadelphia now living in San Diego. Moochie's cheesesteaks are legit. It's all about the roll and they rocked it.

    I've only had the meatball sub and the pastrami...... But the meatball is so good I won't order anything else from there anyways. The sauce is delicious and the jalapeno sauce is awesome on the sandwich the fries and everything else.

    Eggplant Parmasen sub! It was great! It's hard going to a sub place as a vegetarian and getting something other than bread and raw veggies. This was a welcome change. Sauce was smooth, eggplant breaded well! I'd like another 5!

    It was great. But nowhere to sit to enjoy your philly :( my co workers and I went their during lunch break and it was so packed but no where to sit at. And we were to hungry. I would say not to go during lunch break. The Philly and the meat ball sub are delish!!

    Another Triple D choice. The sandwiches were good, the bread was great. The potato salad was very different - with lots of sauce & herbs and very few potatoes. Lots of outdoor seating available but little indoor seating when the place is packed. And only one restroom with no paper towels.

    I've had Geno's and Pat's philly cheesesteak sandwiches and Moochies is SO much better. Get the philly cheese steak with peppers and onions and all that. And their jalapeño cream cheese dipping sauce...wow. This is the pinnacle of good eats, delicious stuff. Great bread too. Must go.

    Oh Moochie's! How could you let me down so? The wife and I were out on the town on our President's Day Holiday, so we thought Moochie's was an apt holiday lunch treat. We went expecting to use our KUER card, to get buy 1, get 1 sandwiches. But alas, it's ONLY for meatball subs. (Why diss NPR listeners who are vegetarian, Moochie's?) So we forwent the deal, and the wife (the vegetarian) ordered an eggplant parm sub. The cashier said "How strict a vegetarian are you, because the marinara is stored with the meatballs." Whaaaaa? You have a vegetarian sandwich, and an essentially vegetarian sauce, but you can't guarantee it's vegetarian because you just throw the meatballs in it, too??? As I understand it, there's no meat in the sauce; they just stew the 'balls int the marinara. How hard is it to have one extra separate pot of marinara for your eggplant parm sandwiches? Or like, just a container of it somewhere you can microwave for the odd vegetarian that shows up. It sort of sounds like the McDonald's beef flavoring in the french scandal, amirite? Good thing the wife is not too "strict," because I didn't want to leave. I really, really like Moochie's. Their cheesesteaks are good; their meatball subs are some of the best under $15 food available in SLC. But if there's nothing for the wife to eat there, then the chances that I get to go back are almost zero. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Moochies, rethink your marinara policy!

    I could care less about weather it is "Philly" authentic or not. I lived in NJ and ate Philly sandwiches all the time. Of course they are good, but Moochies is just plain a great sandwich joint. The bread, the cheese on great meat and other goodies and most of all the condiments to customize the flavor the way you want it. Get over your "Philly" obsession and have an amazing cheese steak sandwich. I would rather have a Moochies with the goodies the way I want it, than the best Philly in Philly limited by what they hand me.

  • April F.

    So I was told to come here for a darn good Philly, I did and I'm not that impressed. I've have far better elsewhere...elsewhere not being in Utah. Which I have yet to try some Philly's from some other recommended places for comparison, however this Philly isn't something I would go out of my way for. It's a hole in the wall type of place, you walk in and order at the window. The place doesn't really look all that clean to me (maybe that's the look their going for though) Seating is scarce, they have outdoor seating and some type of other seating in an adjacent bldg, but all looked dirty. Idk, maybe I went on a busy day or something. The menu, I wouldn't go as far as to say it is confusing but for a first timer, I felt like I needed some extra guidance in how to order from the menu. Maybe because I was thinking that since they have only a couple of things, it should of been easier idk, maybe that's just me. Yes its good, but not the best I've had, nor even really that close. At the same time its not the worst nor even close to that worst. It's just OK. I would eat here again..one day... not sure if I would recommend it as the "best Philly in town" though.

  • Joe H.

    WOW! Just WOW!, Original cheese steak loaded with the onions, peppers and mushrooms is great then add the jalapeno sauce and it's excellent! WOW!, No need to say more. Also the wife ate the Italian loaded and she said it was the best Italian she ever had as well. I have had the meatball as well and it was great also.

  • Rajeev M.

    Why I went- I have always been a fan of Diners Drive-ins and Dives and when I moved to Utah I knew I had to try this place. Many people from school also recommended it so I decided to go with my girlfriend on the way to the mall in Salt Lake City. What I Ordered Chicken Philly (Peppers/Onions/Mushrooms/Substituted Provolone Cheese) with a side of Marinara Sauce (I don't eat beef but if I ever wanted to it was at this place!) and sweet potato fries. Me and my girlfriend both agreed that it's a great basic Philly cheese steak with all the normal ingredients. Chicken on mine was a bit dry but their marinara sauce made up for it because it was amazing and there was plenty of cheese. Definitely filling (hit the spot because we were both starving). Sweet potato fries were also nice and crunchy and SALTED Cut to the Chase: Good News: Great Philly cheese steak, Definitely Lived up to DDD episode. Bad News: Since I don't eat beef this menu is a bit 1 Dimensional so I don't think I will be coming back very often.

  • David S.

    Every bit as good as the cheesesteaks we had at Tony Luc's in Philly a few months ago. If can get over the purposeful hole in the wall atmosphere and your willing to risk the heart attack, I highly recommend Moochies. I have a friend that really likes the meatball sub here, though iIve never tried it.

  • Winston S.

    Moochies used to be my go-to for a fantastic cheesesteak...for years. Now every time I go the amount of meat on my sandwich seems considerably less for the same amount of $$$. Not once, twice, or even three times was this the case. I figured it was just an anomaly until it became the norm. The crew is surly and rude. I recently gave one of their competitors a chance and regretfully have to admit that they make a much superior cheesesteak (and offer provolone...something that Moochies used to offer but now scoff at). I no longer give Moochies my business.

  • Ginger S.

    I enjoyed my first ever Philly cheesesteak here yesterday. I was drawn to this place because a) I've heard a lot about them and b) I read on the menu peppers are optional. I dislike green bell pepper so I jumped at the chance to finally try a cheesesteak. It was delicious. I loved the bread: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. My husband, who was sampled cheesesteaks from several other establishments, was impressed. They have Birch Beer on tap which I had never tried. It was good! It reminded me of root beer.

    It was a cold and snowy Friday night. My daughter had a soccer camp at Eccles and I decided to drive into town to find a place to eat before heading back out to Sandyland. I had heard about this place because they were on TV and a buddy tried it and OMG, blah, blah, blah. It's tough pleasing a 13 and 9-year-old, at least pleasing my daughters is a challenge. My 13-year-old is gluten and lactose intolerant which makes it that much more challenging. I wasn't specifically looking for this place but noticed it so I flipped a bitch and went inside. I don't get out much and when I do, it's usually not out of Sandy. Don't cry for me, Argentina. I cook at home quite a bit. Moreover, the gin flows effortlessly here. When thinking of ways to describe my experience, "urban" is the first adjective that comes to mind. I worked around the corner at 750 South State as a kid in the early '80's. It wasn't so "urban" back then. Moochies has converted two old homes into a sandwich place. It was a little dive-ish but it didn't bother my provincial sensibilities too much. I was much more interested in staying warm from the draftiness of the place than anything else. We sat in the "overflow" house to eat. The sandwiches were great. I've never had a Philly so hot. That meat was the temperature of the center of the sun! It took 20 minutes to get it to cool down enough to eat so I tucked it into my coat to warm my core from the drafts. I don't remember what my daughters had but I'm certain it wasn't much and they both likely ended up having a bowl of cereal when we got home. If it were closer, I'd eat here. I don't think getting on television means their sandwiches are that much better than someplace else. It's the antithesis of Subway and Quizno's and that's a very good thing!

    I'd like to consider myself a connoisseur of sandwiches and this place can put the meatball in meatball a sandwiches. The atmosphere is perfect for dripping marinara sauce onto your chin -which is great because once you take a bite of the perfectly cooked meatballs perfectly paired with a thick crusty bread.

  • Adam C.

    I've loved this place a lot over the 5 years I've been eating here. I also don't have any issue with successful businesses expanding. But just like Cafe Rio, as soon as they opened more locations the quality of the food has gone down. Whether it's a change in suppliers, process or lack of attention to detail, the quality here has dropped off significantly. Bread was dry and crumbled to pieces. Meat was flavorless, tough, and chunky not shredded. I'm not writing them off completely but the last 2 times I've been tell me the magic has left the family.

    I'm not saying I had the meat sweats, but I did have protein induced systemic perspiration.

The flavors will overwhelm your guilt. Try it.

    Our office ordered lunch from these guys, and we found a cockroach in one of the sandwiches. Now, I am a tough guy and can handle the occasional bug, but when we called back, they claimed we were lying and put the bug in there ourselves. If they would have just said sorry we had a bad experience and tried to rectify it, no worries, but they were so rude about it. Yes, Moochies was rude about the bug they put in our sandwich. They earned this one star.

  • Hai-Yen D.

    I've been going here for years and have been a loyal cheesesteak fan! I always get the 12-inch Philly Cheesesteak with no additional toppings besides the Jumpin' Jalapeno Sauce. The sauce is mandatory! I have turned my car around to return to the restaurant to get sauce if I somehow forget it. I can't eat the entire 12-inch sandwich because it's huge but I always look forward to my leftovers. The fries are lightly seasoned and fried to golden perfection; I drool just thinking about how delicious they are. The restaurant has expanded to accommodate for the constant stream of customers, so finding a seat isn't as hard as it used to be. Parking is never an issue be it in the dirt lot behind the restaurant or on the street. I usually buy to take home to eat. The website is not the best at processing orders; I have shown up to pick up orders and the staff has no idea what I'm talking about. I'm so obsessed with the cheesesteaks that I won't dare try their other menu offerings. Sorry meatball subs, I'm in love with the Philly Cheesesteaks.

  • Taylor M.

    After a disappointing initial visit, I decided to give Moochies another try. I've always been a fan of a good Reuben and decided to go out on a limb and give theirs a try. Seeing a Reuben on a 12 inch sub doesn't exactly build confidence, but after the first bite all of my doubts melted away. It's a great twist on a classic and if you haven't tried their jalapeño sauce, you haven't lived. You can buy it by the bottle, which I'm not ashamed to say, I have multiple times. If you're in the mood for a flavor-filled Reuben/sub hybrid, look no further.

    AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! AVOID! COCKROACHES!!! Ordered 16 sandwiches for my office (last of several large orders for the staff), most of the office had already ate their sandwiches when one of my coworkers discovered the roach in his half eaten sandwich, needless to say we threw away the remaining sandwiches. I called and asked to speak to a manager to get our money back, and that's where the fiasco with this restaurant began. Not only did we find a cockroach in the food but the management was rude and called me a liar, even though I have photographic evidence of the cockroach in the cheese steak sandwich. A simple "sorry here's your money back" would have sufficed and no Yelp review would have been written, but Don was argumentative and rude. Do yourself a favor and avoid an illness by not eating here.

    Okay. You don't go here to eat healthy. Let's make this clear. With a name of Moochie's Meatballs, I would also hope this isn't your expectation. Now that common sense has been laid out, let me talk about their Philly Cheese Steak. I haven't been to Chicago or Philadelphia for the real deal, but until I go there, Moochie's Meatballs wins for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. A great blend of steak, peppers, mushrooms, and a melted cheese that almost seems like a condiment. Top notch fries, fried ravioli, and two different types of fry sauces. The location is even more special. A previous house, gutted out, and turned into this delicious restaurant. The parking area turned into a seating patio... Oh, and there's Red Cream Soda to take you back to your childhood. Yum.

    I was so stoked to check this spot out while visiting. Look at the name "moochies,' plus it was on television, it cannot possibly go bad? But could the media be wrong and over hype a joint, surprisingly yes it can. The spot wasn't terribly bad, it was okay. Digged the fried ravioli accompanied with marinara sauce, that's all it had going for it. On a rainy day, we ventured into our old territory. It's mostly street parking and located in a mixture of business homes. Ordered the Ruben sandwich which was oozing with cheese. Unfortunately the cheese was too over powering that I could barely savor the pastrami. The bread was a bit chewy, nice for those that are teething. The cookies on sale were okay, can't go wrong with plain ole chocolate chip right. The service was prompt and quick, typical fast food service. Oh well, at least I tried the talk of the town. The crowd was a mix of old and new kids, nice little spot with an outdoor patio. Although I suggest they play some ambiance music, listening to orders can get rather bland. The seating is fit for small people, not that I'm big but prefer space enough to stretch. Its not ideal for big groups or families, at the end it was just okay.

    Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my face. After reading all of the reviews and seeing this restaurant featured on the Food Network Channel via "Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives", I had to check it out for myself. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was going to be great--seeing as I was hit with a wall of people waiting to order and a wall of delightful aromas as well. I went with a bunch of friends; we ordered many a sandwich, cut it up, and became professional taste testers. Here are some adjectives to describe it (shout out to my high school English professor for teaching me what an adjective even is). Philly Steak and Cheese: --Heavenly. I'm fairly certain angels shouted praises as I took my first bite. --Beautiful. The craftsmanship in each bite; the layering of mushrooms, peppers, and meat really make it picturesque. The Atomic Meatball Sub: --Mindblowing. The Jalepeño and Marinara sauce is what makes it so. --Messy. That's the only downfall, by the end of my meal, I had gone through 13 napkins and ended up looking like The Joker. Marinara lipstick anyone? We had some other sandwiches--a Ruben and Deli--but they did not hold a candle to those previously mentioned. TIPS & TRICKS: * Try the fried ravioli, it's pretty good for an appetizer; as well as the Birch Beer fountain drink. "Mmm" to it all. * Their outdoor seating is nice and fairly new, it's perfect--especially on warm days like today.

    First time here. I was torn between the meatball sandwich or the Philly cheese steak. I decided to go with the Philly cheese steak and it didn't disappoint! The bun was nice and soft. I can tell it was fresh too. I liked that the bun was crispy on the outside, but not so crispy that it would cut the roof of my mouth as I chewed. The steak had a nice flavor and was very tender. I also ordered the fried ravioli. They reminded me of mozzarella sticks, except in the shape of ravioli. They were good, but not something I NEED to order every time I'm here.

    Great meatball sub. The bread was spectacular and the fries were great. Servers were friendly and there was plenty of seating. Only gave 4 stars because while it was good, it wasn't anything particularly unique or memorable.

    I asked my foodie friend about her favorite restaurants in SLC, and she said only, "Moochie's." Now I know why. I never crave philly cheesteak, but the day we went in there it was the right day. I know they are famous for their meatball sub too, but we weren't wanting the mess so we split a 12" Philly. It was grilled with onions and topped with melted American cheese on a perfectly crispy-on-the-outside-squishy-on-the-inside hoagie bun, and it was one of the best things I've tasted in a long, long time. Perfect ratio of meat to bread and huge portion size (though we were starving that day and both ate our share of the cheesesteak and the fries!) They have "special" fry sauce that they included with the side of fries we ordered, and we also loved the spicy sauce they include with it too (not sure if that's for the fries or the sandwiches, but it was great with both!) Love the pepper bar next to the drinks where you can turn up the heat on your sandwich to your liking. Individual packets of ketchup are helpful for to-go orders and they also have a giant vat of self-serve ketchup. This is silly, but I love that they give you big, reusable yellow Moochie's cups when you order a fountain drink - every time I see it in my house it makes me crave that cheesteak again (great marketing ploy!) The outside of the restaurant is unassuming and a little run-down looking, but isn't every neighborhood staple like Moochie's? The inside is basic but clean, with small tables and those hard plastic booths. There is also a patio with picnic tables for warm weather which seems very nice. We did takeout which seems pretty popular. Already dreaming about the next time I can justify eating a giant sandwich with meat and bread...

    This 3 star review is based on the Chicken Parm 12" splitter today. I was disappointed in the chicken parm sandwich. The chicken inside was cut into very thin strips and barely had any breading. I actually had to open the sandwich and check that it was breaded chicken and not grilled. I love big giant breasts that are breaded nice and crisp. The bread to meat ratio was way off too...way to much bread for the little amount of meat. The bread is 5 star though...don't get me wrong. The service was friendly, efficient and fast. I have had great salads and cheese steaks here. And were else can you get Tastycakes?? I'll be back, but not for the Parm.

    The best Philly Cheesesteak you can have in town. First of all the bread that is used is pretty good. It holds the sandwich very well. All sandwiches are prepared freshly to order. You customize it the way you want by adding or taking certain ingredients. Also for those who are carb watchers, you can get a Philly cheesesteak without the bread. Basically comes in a container and eaten by fork. Good way to enjoy something delicious without all the extra carbs. And last but not least, their jumpin Jalapeño Sauce is just AMAZING. Really tasty specially when added to any meal. Also their 12 inch sandwich is huge. Perfect to be split by two people. So check out Moochie's and you will not be disappointed.

    I'd heard lots of people rave about Moochie's and their "authentic" cheese steaks. I'm always a little apprehensive when people tell me that they've found good cheese steaks in Utah. I spent a summer in Philly and fell in love with cheese steaks, each time I have one here I'm always disappointed. So, it was with great trepidation that I ordered a cheese steak. I had been assured by one of the employees that the owner is from Philly, so the cheese steaks are genuine and high quality. When I took a bite into it I was woefully disappointed. The meat was lukewarm, it was very flavorless, and the bun was as hard as a rock. I would say that I was surprised, but this has become a regular occurrence with cheese steaks in Utah. I had ordered their cheese bread as well, just in case their cheese steak sandwich was disappointing. The bread was very, very, soggy, with no cheese on it. The service was also lackluster. It took a very long time for the sandwiches that we ordered to get to us, and the woman manning the cash register severely botched charging one of my friends for his food. She spent five minutes trying to fix it, all the while insisting that it wasn't her fault that the wrong amount had been charged. During our whole time waiting for our order we could hear her loudly excusing her mistake to her co-workers. "It never does that, something must be wrong with the software." blah, blah, blah. It didn't exactly lend itself to the atmosphere. The foot long cheese steak costs $12, and it's definitely not worth even $5. Oh, and their doors violate safety codes, and slams loudly whenever someone comes in and out but that's neither here, nor there. I can't believe that they have the gall to call their food authentic. It wasn't even mediocre, the service was bad, the location was very rundown. TL;DR: Don't waste your time. Expensive, tasteless, bad service, and rundown. If you want a real, quality, cheese steak then go to Vito's in Bountiful.

    Ladies and bros, this is it. This is the place. When 'what's his name' came into the Salt Lake Valley and proclaimed that "This is the place", He literally meant "This is the place where the best meatball sandwich restaurant will be located." Trust me, I am a historian (no I'm not.) This place is OFF. THE. HOOK. Not only did the king of Bro's himself, Guy Fieri, give his backwards glasses spiky haired two thumbs up, but SO DID I. And my opinion is clearly just as or maybe even more important than his. Their bread is soft on the inside, with a little crunchy outside. Their meat is tender and full of flavor, and their sauces are incredible. They have awesome and inexpensive combo deals, and delicious sides like POTATO BANGIN' SALAD, POWER SLAMMING MACARONI SALAD, and TOASTY HOT FRENCH FRIES. Let me give you another selling point, even though I know you're already 5000% down with coming to this mecca of meatballs. THEY HAVE RED CREAM SODA. I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING YOU.

    Definitely one of the more authentic cheesesteaks joints I've found outside of Philadelphia. Still prefer Pats King of Steaks over this any day but I'll have to settle for this. My one knock is the price!! It's even more expensive than the OG steaks in Philly steaks. And each additional topping is a dollar or something such a rip. Recommend if you're in the mood for one of these

  • Ryan C.

    Yeah, the sandwich is really that good. I might even get on a plane after this review just to have a sandwich. I have had cheesesteaks in Philly and Boston, and it is better. I will say that if you are going in off hour times it is not as good. You can not beat the freshness and flavor when it is the lunch hour rush. Hallmark of a good cheesesteak place? Tastykake's Butterscotch Krimpets. They have them flown in special.

    When I saw this place was on Triple D, I had to make it out for a try. The place has meatballs in the name, but their Philly Steak is far superior to their meatball sandwich. If you don't have the stomach for both (or someone to share with), do yourself a favor and get the philly. The only real knock I have on this joint is the food is stupid unhealthy. But I knew what I was getting into before I went. The service at this joint is acceptable, but you have to stand and wait at the counter for your sandwich to be made (which at Jimmy Johns is instant, here it can take 10 min). Having a number system and bringing it out to the table (a-la Jason's Deli) would be fantastic. SERVICE: 5/10 AMBIANCE: 4/10 FOOD: 6/10 PRICE: 6/10 UNIQUENESS: 6/10 OVERALL SCORE: 58 Service: Graded by the "Keep my cup full principle". Ambiance: Pretty self-explanatory Food: A high food score does not always indicate it is a place for foodies. It is weighted based upon the establishment - thus bar food can receive a high score Price: Price is graded based upon what I believe is fair value for the food you are receiving.

    I suppose if I lived in Salt Lake I would have liked Moochie's a lot more than I did given the culinary choices the city offers. My wife and I were on a trip to SLC and wanted to hit Moochie's because we had seen it featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. After dining there all I can say is that Guy Fieri is a hell of a salesman. As we entered Moochie's I was immediately struck by the appearance of the girl at the cash register. She had the look of a person that might be better suited for juggling chainsaws at Venice Beach as opposed to being the face of a food establishment, but don't judge a book, right? The menu looked great and because the joint was on Triple D we figured the food would be good as well. We decided to go with cheesesteaks with fries as this sandwich was highlighted on the tv show. As we sat in the both I took notice of the kitchen staff most of whom appeared to not be doing much work. Given the length of time it took to get our food on a less than busy day I presume my assumption was correct. I also took note of the fact that they all had long hair and wore only baseball caps to cover their hair. This will come into play momentarily. When we got our cheesesteaks and dug in the vote was unanimous: they were pedestrian at best. Certainly edible but nothing I would go out of my way for. Then came the moment that every diner anywhere dreads: hair in your food. My wife took a bite of her sandwich and there it was. A short black hair smack dab in the middle of her cheesesteak! I offered to take it back and let the staff know what had happened, but at that point she had kind of lost her appetite and looking at the folks behind the counter I had to question how this incident would be handled. If not for the hair in the food we may have given Moochie's a second chance, but my guess is that that was our one and only trip there.

    Been here a dozen times and it's always great. Philly cheese steak with grilled mushrooms and the famous jalapeno sauce on the side is unbeatable. Meatball sub, "atomic style", is also great.

    (5)
  • Nate S.

    I don't just order Moochie's, I HOARDER Moochie's. I will not leave without at least 12" of Atomic meatball and 12" of loaded Philly. That, gentle readers, is a "charge-my-jazzy, I-wash-myself-with-a-rag-on-a-stick, we're-gonna-need-a-bigger-crane-for-the-body" amount of food. No, I do not eat it all immediately, but I can't bear not having it in the case the zombie apocalypse befalls us. Trust me, they'll go for the Moochie's first. Morning, noon, and night, my mountain o' mooch gives me the strength to go on sitting and staring. I really should order something else, but then I'd just have to add it to my gastropod's bucket list. Oh, and I'll need at least five jalapeño sauces, please. Thank you and feel free to inject them directly into my left ventricle. So why only four stars? Is it just that I ran out of energy trying to move the mouse? No, it is simply a matter of beer, and there is no beer at Moochie's. Oh wait, here's one in my fridge next to the last 3" of Atomic! Mmmm, breakfast.

    Cheesesteaks are as good as you get in Utah. Better than Philly Cheesesteak in Clearfield, infinitely better than subway or little johns. Sure you need to wait for it to be cooked. Yeah, it can be slow and crowded. But, unless you are willing to drive to Wilmington Delaware for a better cheesesteak, suck it up, order, wait, pickup, and enjoy. I was there again on 7/9/13 and ordered my 2.5 year old the kid's hotdog. It was pricey, and she only ate a bit, but then I tried it. What a great hotdog. I took it for lunch the next day as well as the other half of my cheesesteak. What I want to know is where do these hotdogs come from?

    I must have walked into a Subway because it was very disappointing. Everyone who says best philly ever, needs to travel outside of Utah. The jalapeno sauce was mediocre. I will definitely give it another try.

    Salt Lake needs more fun, unique, high energy local joints like Moochie's selling delicious and inexpensive food. The basic Philly is the best thing on the menu- perfect Saturday meal after skiing or biking or whatever it is you do on Saturdays.

  • Inconspicuous V.

    Philly cheese steak doesn't get much better than this! The bread was so great as well as the meat and cheese. I think next time I would get double meat. The jalapeno white sauce is a must too. I made my husband go back and order fries. They were crispy and had a lot of flavor. Plus there's sauce for that as well! We found out you can order cheese wiz on your sandwich if you want. Next time..... Meatball was good, no doubt, BUT don't pass up the steak for the meatball.

    I'm always amazed the number of "native" east-coasters who write about every sandwich shop and say "it's the best since me and Andy Reid hung out". None of these places match up to the shops back east but it's a good sandwich. Big, with lots of fillings, lots of bread, buts let's not get carried away.

    Don't let the outside fool you, it's what's being served inside that will blow you away!

Everybody should stop by and dive in, you won't regret it!

    What can you say about Moochie's that has not been said already besides that Moochie's Meatball sandwiches are sensational. The frech fries are also very good and crispy. I have not yet tried any other one but I am sure they are just as good. Tip: a six inch meatball sandwich is more than enough food. If you order a 12 inch, make sure to share it with someone. My favorite thing about Moochie's is the in-house Jumpin Jalapeño sauce. This sauce is just so creamy and delicious that it compliments the sandwich so well. Moochie's has plenty of seating but try to avoid the lunchtime crowds. This place is very popular. Just in case you do not find a seat, you can try the patio or go into the building next door that has tables and booths.

    Meatball sub was good. The fried ravioli was also very good. I don't know if I would call it amazing, but really good none the less. The jalapeno sauce was unique and tasty. Would probably go back if I lived closer.

  • Steve B.

    This place was ok, but I would never make a special trip to eat there. The Philly wasn't as good as Philadelphia Sub in Clearfield IMO. The sandwich was pretty bland and boring. It was crowded & noisy. The good news is there'll be more room for you there tomorrow, because I'm not going back anytime soon.

    Moochies is delicious. I don't care if it's not authentic enough for some of youse, it's GOOD! Ive had the philly and also a meatball. Both fabulous.

    Finally, a meatball sub I like after trying them every where else possible, it's delicious. They make the best Philly cheese-steaks in SLC too. Be sure to try their house made jalapeno sauce with your sub, and the house made fry sauce with their delicious fries. The jalapeno sauce on the meatball sub is a combination to die for.

    A must for anyone in Utah. I get the swiss on my philly and its to die for. The hype is well earned. I keep telling myself that I am going to try the meatball and all these years later I cant break away from the philly.

    CHEESESTEAK CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!! Salt Lake City 2012 Moochies vs. DP's A coupla days ago we decided to compare the cheesesteak sandwiches from these two lovely establishments back to back....and by that I mean within a half hour of each other. Yes, we're fat. Yes, it was glorious. Heres whats up... 1. Cheesiness: While Moochies certainly doesn't skimp on the cheese, DP's steak is lavished with it. Winner: DP's 2. Steakiness: They both offer very tender and delicious steak, making this a tough call. Moochie's steak is more finely cut. DP's is somehow more steaky and there is more meat. Winner: DP's 3. Pepperiness: Moochies has their own pepper bar. Moochies pepper bar is awesome. Winner: Moochies 4. Breadiness: DP's bread was softer and more accepting of the steak all over it while Moochies seemed more like cheesesteak put on a bun. Winner: DP's 5. Atmosphere: DP's is a typical downtown restaurant in a new space, there is nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it is sterile...much like the city it resides in. Moochies is in a trashy little building, the employees are tatted and gauged, and there is a pepper bar. Winner: Moochies 6. Leftoveriness: Yeah, we couldn't finish it all. Next day they were both good but...Winner: Moochies. 7. Extras: DP's has TastyCakes, which are amazing little desert delights we did not expect to see outside of the east coast. We got fries at Moochies, which were delicious, but nothing particularly special. Moochies did seem to have much more to offer including different sides and a greater variety of sandwiches. Winner: Tie. Conclusion: These are both very very good in their own way. DP's wins out in individual categories when you break the sandwich down. Moochies, though, pulls the whole thing together better. Its close, but Moochies just makes an overall better cheesesteak. Loved it. (Eat at both of these places, its impressively good food.)

    SAUCE!! Oh my gosh the s-a-u-c-e!! I really just wanted to drink it... Being most likely mayo based, opted not to. Had a serious conversation about what else besides fries (the best battered crispy fries ever!) and sammie's this stuff could go on. One, the fry sauce, was a Big Mac spin off, soo good. The jalapeño sauce also awesome. Oh yeah, and the Philly san& meatball san, A+

    We learned about Moochies from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. They make a pretty good Philly cheesesteak (good, but not great...I'm from the Philadelphia area) and a very good meatball sub. I was surprised to see Tastykakes available as well. Would definitely return for the meatballs, not the cheesesteak.

  • Jeffrey S.

    A connoisseur of Phillies I am not. A connoisseur of food I like to eat I am. So let me just pronounce the sammiches at Moochie's as a fine and remarkable specimen I'd like to eat often. A pinnacle of pig-outtery. A green light to gluttons. A delight of divey proportions. Delish. The big draw is the cheese steak followed closely by the meatball sando. The cheese steak comes on what may be my new favorite bread which stood up the the juiciness of the Philly but may capitulate to the marinara on a meatball sandwich. The standard sliced steak, American cheese, and onion ride on top of the cheese steak, but they're happy to leave anything off, swap your cheese, or add mushrooms or peppers. There are some upcharges for that, so just read the board carefully. Really nice cheese steak. Like, gobble it up good. Feeling a little more spicy, I also shared a meatball sandwich. There was one meatball on my 6" sammy - cut in half and spread across the bread - which means when fully formed the original meatball is about the size of Delaware. The sauce overfloweth, so either a) bring an apron or bib b) wear a red shirt so the mess matches, or c) go topless. The space is pretty basic. Not fancy. Okay.. it's a dive. But in the good way. There are articles all over the walls from "Best sandwich" awards to "Voted #1 articles" and even the obligatory massive photo of the owners with old whatshisname from the Food Network. Patio or indoor, you're overdressed in Dockers. Side note: Who still wears Dockers? You really need to come back a few times and try a few of their sandwiches, hot or cold, and explore the menu. Problem is, with such a great staple like their Philly, you may not ever want to stray.

  • D. W.

    Their cheese steak is the kind of sandwich you enjoy every succulent second, every sloppy bite of, licking your fingers clean and when you're done, you take a pause to reflect on the glory of what you just slugged down your gullet. About an hour after that, you begin plotting and planning, hoping and scheming, drooling and dreaming about when you can have another again. In several respects, it's a good thing for me, ultimately, that this place is not closer than it is...

    Born and raised in NY and then living in the Philly area for 15 years left me looking for a cheese steak which would remind me of home. After looking endlessly for an "authentic" Philly steak and not having any luck, a coworker suggested I head over to this place and check them out. That was 8 years ago and since that time I have stopped in for a steak about every other month! The steaks they serve are as close as you are going to get to the real thing in this area. The portions are good, it is made fresh, and tastes fantastic! This place gets VERY crowded at lunch time. I recommend that if you are stopping in for lunch that you head over early, around 11:30 or a bit late to avoid the lines. There is a bit of seating in the main area, they also have places to sit in the house that is next door. If you are looking for a great cheese steak I really recommend you give them a shot. I

    I messed up in going here and not getting the Philly cheese steak for our first visit, I instead got the hot wing chicken and it was good for sure. Not as spicy as I would have liked but it was good. My husband got the meatball and loved it! We also got a Philly to go to take to my brother and he said it was amazing as well. I need to go back for the Philly and try it out before I can make a better educated review, but as far as my experience went it was ok. The girl at the register I didn't like at first cause she was impatient and hurried us along, but later redeemed herself when I saw you could buy Tastykakes so I snagged a couple and she let me pay with my debit card even though there's supposed to be a $5 minimum. Other than that, as others have said, the inside is nothing fancy. I was actually a little put off by all the self love hanging on the walls, and the little sign as you pull up with Guy Fieri's ugly face greeting me. My disdain for Guy Fieri aside, the "Triple D" show has never really given me anything so amazing that I would base my eating there solely on that bragging right alone. I've eaten at "Triple D" visited places in Tucson and Spokane and it was always a huge thing people talked about, but it's more of a turn off for me. I will be back to try the Philly since it's their main sandwich and I blew it off.

  • S W.

    I've only been to Moochies once and of course since it was my first time going in, I had to get the ever famous "Guy Fieri" meatball sub. The sub itself was a mess to eat, but with added toppings of banana peppers, it made it sooo damn good. With the two sides, it totaled to about $15. I thought that was a little high for a "quick" food restaurant but you get what you pay for. The sub, I mean. The sub is worth every cent, but the sides, meh. They are just mediocre. I am usually not this picky but when it comes out to be $15, I think the whole meal should be "wow". I would like to try the other deli styled subs and the philly (of course) and I think I'll have to re-review this place when I do. Overall, it's got good food. It's messy, it's a sub, it's unhealthy, but hey, isn't that why we eat something that tastes good? Worth checking out and a staple to the SLC food community.

    I originally started going there for their Philly cheese steak but now I've gravitated over to the meatball sandwich after a recommendation from a friend. This is another one of my fixes I crave every other week. I wasn't a big fan of meatball sandwiches until I ran into this place. Also get the jalapeño sauce to put on it. Don't worry it's not very spicy. Just delicious.

    Moochies is legit. However, this place needs whiz. The bread for the cheesesteak is incredible and the meat is pretty good as well. The atmosphere is awesome however the clientele makes me laugh. Pepper bar is a huge plus! I love Moochies but I think DP wins on the steak.

  • Becky G.

    Tried Moochies for the first time today after a couple of recommendations. We tried the meatball sub and the philly cheese steak, and weren't disappointed. I proabably couldn't ask for more in a sub. The bread was great too--still crusty on the outside. The meatballs were gigantic, but cut in half, so you could actually eat the sandwich without everything falling out. Cheese was great. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the atmosphere. There weren't any menus on the walls to look at when we got there, only specials. The full menu was small and taped to the counter, but you can't see it when you're in line. The only reason we knew what to get was because we'd looked at their menu online before we went. Also I recognize the appeal of a dive, but it's really too bad there's not very much seating, especially during the lunch rush. They were fast though. And the jalepeno and fry sauces were actually really good. We spent $17 on two 6 inch subs, one fry, and one drink. Kinda on the pricey side, as far as lunch goes. Not TOTALLY sure I agree with all the signage that says they're cheap. They're tasty, for sure, though.

    As my faithful Yelp followers know (yes, the list is small ....... but growing) I love local small business establishments and Moochie's Meatballs and More fits that bill to a tee!! Local is great but the quality of the food still has to measure up and once again Moochie's fits the bill. Simply stated, this is a great place to eat .................... period!!! When you enter Moochie's you just know that you are going to like it there, occupying an old house in downtown SLC on 8th South the," there is no other place like this" radar kicks in and you have not even ordered yet. Step up to the counter and order the cheese steak with onions and peppers, don't forget to ask for a side of fries because the cheese steak is going to be awesome but the fries are going to surprise you, I love a really good cheese steak and I love really good french fries and Moochies delivers in a big way!!!!! When you sit down with your cheese steak you can unwrap it and start and your taste buds will thank you, or, you can grab the Jalapeno Sauce that they provide and put a splash on every bite and really enjoy lunch. Great food, great place, great people, good prices ............................... five stars!!! Remember, Be Local ~ Buy Local ~ Live Local, wherever your local may be. Until next time remember, you have to eat, so eat well!!

    I love my Philly Steak! It keeps me coming back every time. Their meatball sandwiches are great as well. I am always happy with the food and its always consistent. I am very happy they made extra seating next door. And added all the extra table out front.

  • Grason R.

    I can't seem to get enough of this place. Even the building it is in is awesome! The owners come straight from Philly so they certainly can make you one of the best cheesesteaks you've ever had. If cheesesteaks aren't your thing, they have a bunch of other sandwiches and usually have some kind of pasta or lasagne special. Honestly, my favorite is the meatball... with tons of jalapeno sauce. Thats right, i said jalapeno sauce. The best thing about the meatball sandwich is the necessary shower afterward. Not only because it's the messiest sandwich to ever exist, but you are so happy with your day that you can't really be any more satisfied and are ready to end it. Ah yeah.

  • Rachel L.

    Maybe it's me. After all, I stem from a place where "heros", "grinders", and "subs" are simply called "sandwiches." But, I don't get the hype around this place. Sure, the bread was soft and doughy. Sure, the philly was steak-a-rific. Sure, the meatballs were meaty, But, it's nothing to write home about. Hell, I even debated about writing a review after my "meh" experience. If for some reason I had a future hankering for a sandwich and just so happened to be in the area, I'd hit it. But, the majority of the time, I'd rather just quit it.

    Awesome hole in the wall. An old, not so converted house. Hot pepper condiment bar. And the rarely seen Diet Dr. Pepper at the fountain. Ordered the classic meatball sub and lentel soup. Didn't need the soup. The sandwich was smothered in sauce and they're not stingy on the meatballs either. And while the typical meatball is just that, typical, these were nicely flavored to the point where the sauce would almost be a disservice if it weren't every bit as good. On a side note. The pictures of the food here don't do this place justice at all. It may not be pretty food, but it sure is delicious As my friend the terminator used to say, I'll be back.

    We were considering Moochie's Catering for our Sugar Bowl party, based on the recommendation of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," but we thought we'd better try it for ourselves first. Thank goodness we did! The Philly tasted okay, but was extremely greasy. The sandwich was a "gut bomb" that continued to detonate inside my stomach for the rest of that day and into the next. Is grease poisoning a real thing? We also had the meatball sandwich. The meatballs were good, but the marinara was literally the worst I have ever had. It tastes exactly like Chef Boyardee ravioli sauce... Which is good if you're 6 years old or perhaps really drunk.

    They have a pepperoni pizza philly cheesesteak. It may be 5000000 calories, but its pure perfection.

    This is the first restaurant i've visited that was featured on the Food Network's Diners Drive Ins and Dives. I hope to go to more! We were on a road trip heading to Montana and had to stop by Salt Lake City on the way there. We found out about Moochie's on the way up and was started to get excited about meatballs. When you are on the road, in the snow for as long as we were, you start getting excited about pretty much anything. When we got to Moochie's they were closed! Bummer. Luckily we had to stop in Salt Lake City on the way back, which is great, because now i can write a review on Moochie's. Even though we had eaten only a few hours ago, we knew that we weren't going to get another shot at this place in a long time, if ever. So we got our Meatball Sandwiches to go and ate them back at the hotel room later. Even though a couples of hours had past since we ordered our food, the Meatball sandwich held up with little to no sogginess. I was very pleased with Moochie's Meatball Sub and would love to go back, unfortunately there is nothing else in Salt Lake City for me to do. One of the best parts of the sandwich was the bread. It was toasted, but was not hard on the outside. The bread had a nice chewiness to it and was really fresh. It was really soft bread. Another highlight to the sandwich is the Jalapeño sauce that you can get on the side. Be sure to say 'yes' when they ask if you want it! It is on the spicey side, but is really good with any of your meatballs that fall out of the sandwich, which brings me to the only downside. These sandwiches are messy! I am not against messy food, that's why Jesus invented water and towels. When i opened my sandwich, it looked like a scene out of Scanners! As you can see from my picture, the sauce is everywhere and there was cheese all over the place. This isn't a big downside, i am just warning you if you are the white glove type. All in all, i am super fired up for being able to stop at Moochie's. It was a great place, fun atmosphere and the guys behind the counter were really nice. If you are stuck in the middle of Salt Lake City, i would say it is a must!

    My sister and I were feeling particularly fatty the other day and decided it had been a while since we've had Moochie's. I know I've been writing about a lot of fatty foods lately, but I have been in severe need of food therapy, soon to be followed by gym therapy. But in all seriousness, I think there are therapeutic effects from consuming copious amounts of fat. Not that I'm condoning food therapy on a regular basis, but for certain bad days, nothing beats a moochie's philly. Yes, it may have been featured on a certain Food Network television program, but it still deserves props for how good it is, despite not being in Philadelphia. [If you can't tell, I have a certain disdain for Guy Fieri featured dives]. Anyways, get the philly. It'll change your world, or at least expand your waist belt. I hear the meatballs are fine, I mean, it is in their name I suppose. But get the philly, with onions and mushrooms, and plenty of cheese, and if you so please, douse it with jalapeno sauce. You'll regret it later, but it's so worth it in the moment.

    Oh my! these are some big sandwiches. Really big! My husband who always thinks he is hungrier than is humanly possible ordered the 12" meatball sub, its humongous, messy and impossible to pick up. He manages though and I have to say they have excellent meatballs, fantastic marinara and a bread thats super tasty and soft enough to tear right into. I opted for the much more moderate 6" philly and was not disappointed, they use real cheese the meat is juicy and I love grilled onions, same delicious bread as my husbands meatball sub. I'm not sure if I missed the kids menu, but I don't recall it. I ordered my three year a single meatball, they are huge and a side of fries for the table, by the way their fry sauce is quite unique with a spicy jalepeno quick to it. Everything was great. The only thing I was not keen on was their bread pudding, very eggy, to moist, strange after taste and I can't be sure but perhaps they used cool whip or another whipped topping, not to my liking. Plus it was served in a strange 8oz plastic cup with lid held askew by the whipped topping. On a tastier note I did enjoy the brownie and they have tasty cakes which my husband loves. We will definitely be back and perhaps get our meatballs and bread to go separately than combine at home for our own tasty feast.

    Amazing meatball subs! I'm Italian and from Philly and I'd have to say this place is on point with there meatball subs. Outstanding! But although the cheesesteak is good, id go with the meatball everytime!

  • Aimee C.

    I was scared of here because I didn't know how it worked, but lots of my friends go here and they have meat so I went for lunch with Vi T. one day and it was really good. I got the fries which are double coated and fried fries and they were a little salty for my taste, but you can bet I ate them anyway because obviously fries with extra fried on them are delicious no matter what. I got the philly cheese steak with the peppers and mushrooms and dumped a bunch of the jalepeno sauce on it and it was so good. I had to eat a bunch of it with a fork first before I could consider tackling it like a sandwich so I decided that it is like a special bonus meat salad in a bread bowl, which is then followed by a huge delicious sandwich, which I couldn't finish, so I brought part of it home to eat while I watched television later. It all worked out really well and I would like to do it again soon. I bet I could even do it all by myself, but I don't think that would be as fun as going with a friend or two.

    OK - the cheese steak didn't suck, but it wasn't the best. If you've ever tried Pop's in Vegas, you know what I mean. What ruined it for me was the black hair I pulled out of the cheese. Ruined my appetite. The guys (and girl) working back there had hats on, but they still had tons of hair hanging out, so why bother?

  • Ashley B.

    I am from the east coast. Yes I know what a good cheesesteak is. No I do not go to Geno's and Pat's. Moochies was surprisingly very awesome. There sandwich was very big and all cook to order which is my favorite. I hate when the meat is laid out and grays cause it's just sitting on the heater. I was soo nervous at first cause this place claimed good philly cheese steaks in the middle of a land lock state out west but to my surprise it was actually really good. The staff is awesome and our cashier had a rocking sense of humor. I will go back again!

  • Jesse C.

    I love the food and sauces here. If I didn't mind being morbidly obese I would eat here every day. Cheesesteak is better than the meatball but both are very good. The downside to this place is lack of easy sitting and parking.

  • Brad S.

    Hands down the best Philly Cheesesteak in Utah. Of course this is my review so it's a personal choice to place Moochies at the top of my Philly list, in fact in my opinion no one even comes close. Moochies is a great little place that you may miss if you're not careful. Parking and seating is a little bit of a pain if you go during peak hours but overall if you want a nice juicey mouth-watering Philly (get it with the Wiz) you can't go wrong with Moochies.

  • Ryan R.

    If you love sandwiches, meat, and spicy and Subway is not going to cut it then I can't say enough good things about Moochie's. My Fiance and I love it. My favorite is the Atomic Meatball Sub, Her's is the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. My only criticism is I think they need a second location say somewhere in North Salt Lake perhaps? That's more a personal Bias then anything else. Moochie's has never let me down and the Atomic Jalapeno Sauce I could literally drink from a hose so this is one condiment you wont want to forget. Moochie's is simply delicious and I highly endorse it thus the 5 star rating! If your a Vegetarian Moochie's is probably not for you otherwise enjoy.

  • Alison H.

    If you're looking for a cheesesteak in Salt Lake, this is the place to go. I certainly appreciate that they don't scoff at me too much for requesting my sandwiches plain (only cheese and meat). Bread, meat, and cheese are always steaming and delicious. Great resistance in the bread that can actually handle the juices in the meat. And the meat itself has delicious, meaty flavor. It's also a bonus that you can get the cheesesteak in a place that doesn't smell like old diapers. (as opposed to other places I have ventured to) Meatball sub is also awesome as is the fact that they carry Tastycakes imported from the East Coast.

  • Steve S.

    Came back to Bonneville this year, and yes, I went back to Moochies. Again. Again.... had requests to take sandwiches back to Los Angeles. (8 this time! The number grows every time!) Again... Moochies gladly performed my request for my sandwiches to be served [DISASSEMBLED] Again... my sandwiches arrived in LA the next day, still tasting great. You guys are a permanent stop whenever I am in SLC. My friend picked up his sandwiches from me tonight, and I have to set the scene.... It was me, a big Mexican dude, and him, a chubby white dude sitting in a blue Chevy Cavalier in the middle of a pretty rough neighborhood. Lights are off in the car and we were sitting there talking. Eventually, I pass him a bag loaded with Moochie sandwiches, and he passes me cash. It was like the worlds fattest drug deal going down. Awesome.

    I've found that if moochies has it on the menu, they make it the best of anyone. The best phillys, the best onion rings, the best sweet potato fries, and the best brownies (these brownies are so good that they have been packed and consumed across 3 continents and both hemispheres)

    One of the things I look forward to when I am traveling on business is I get to try new joints that I would normally not be able to get to. The other part I like is every once in awhile you get to try a place that the locals believe should be showcased on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. The lucky part for me is this trip I got to do both. First off is Moochie's Meatballs in downtown Salt Lake City. This place is now on my favorites list. Moochie's is a fun little place that looks almost like a house in parts. I went to Moochie's last night straight from the airport. This place is known for their sandwiches and subs. I had a Philly cheese steak with mushrooms and onions. Great sandwich! I think it may be good enough for people that have lived in Philly. LOL (I am expecting some comments on that one) Also I have not been to Philly to try the "real thing" but this is one the best if not the best I have had. They also have meatball sandwiches as you would expect but when I walked in it was clear the Philly was the real deal! The thing that tipped me off most was the sign that told you how to order one. The people working there were super nice. I was not the only on there that had seen the episode on DDD which was cool. I chatted with one of the guys that worked there until my sandwich was ready. Turns out I came at the right time because if I was to try stopping in at lunch they usually have a line that goes out the door and down the block. You know they have kickin food if that is the case. I almost forgot you have a to try the Jumpin' Jalapeno Sauce on your cheese steak. This stuff was incredible. It really added some depth to their already super flavorful cheese steak. I wanted some for home. Yum Yum. You need to check this place out! However bring your appetite, as the sandwiches are tasty and big. Five stars!

    I don't understand why everyone loves Moochie's so much. I understand that isn't a lot of competitors in Utah, but that's not how I judge if I love a sandwich or a place. Maybe it's because it was on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Anyway, i tried the philly cheesesteak and couldn't even get through half of it I think it was overly greasy and lacked flavor. I admit i haven't had a meatball sub, so maybe that's why I haven't been converted. ...sorry.

  • Todd D.

    My expectations might have been a weeee bit too high. And I probably went a little too crazy with yellow peppers and jalapenos because pickle flavor ended up dominating the sandwich. Still though, a damn fine Philly, probably best I've had in Utah though I haven't tried many. I wouldn't recommend going with a footlong, it's just a little too dense of a sandwich and packs a good amount of grease. I tapped out after six inches. The owner was a very pleasant fellow and very appreciative of my large order (take out for the office). He even threw in a whole bottle of jalapeno sauce.

    Let me just say, I LOVE Moochie's. When I moved to Salt Lake City, I ended up living right down the street from their location on 800 South. And One night I was hungry. I have enjoyed Philly sandwiches in Philadelphia, and Moochie's blows everything out of the water. I have enjoyed Meatball sandwiches in New York City, and Moochie's blows them out of the water. They also have great bottled drinks you normally can't find anywhere else. Including Huckleberry Soda from jackson hole. Their Macaroni and Potato Salad are also the bomb.

    This is one of my all time favorite places to get food. The meatballs and the philly are out of this world delicious and I can't get enough of the creamy jalapeno sauce. The bread is so soft and fresh! The dining room is small so don't come in a group or plan to take-out. Also try to know what you want before you go so you don't hold up the line.

    11.18.10 first visit ambience: B+ not much to look at. however, for what they do, and they do it well, all the condiments and amenities are laid out perfectly. you can even wash your hands without going to the restroom after your meal. bonus! service: A- order at the front, listen for your name when they call you. quick turn around. as the table we wanted was being vacated, an employee was right on the scene cleaning it off for us. food: A 4 words: cheese. steak. meat. balls. philly cheesesteak 1. bread. great bread. a super thin crispy crust, with a pillowy soft texture inside. so easy to bite through 2. ribeye steak. delicious. 3. onions that had been sweated out - sweet and a ever so slightly salty. 4. cheese. all these disparate elements came together in near perfection. great balance, not too salty or over seasoned. italian meatball as i've said in previous reviews, i'm not really into meatball sandwiches. moochies meatballs are REALLY well done. great flavor, moist, and great texture. and the sauce is good. combine all this with great bread and you've got yourself a winning combo. potato salad good potatoes. what makes this incarnation different from other Psalads? more dill, and sweet and hot peppers. not my favorite, but unique. worth trying. macaroni salad just really good. get it. overall: A- a solid 4 star effort. i don't care if guy fieri talked this place up, moochies isn't resting on its laurels. just solidly good food, with a great attitude behind the counter. i'll be back, with friends, and family.

    Driving through Salt Lake City, I'm so glad we found this place! The atmosphere is charming, and I really love the outside seating area - just a couple of picnic tables seemingly randomly placed on someone's front yard. I had the eggplant parm sandwich, which did not disappoint. And make sure you get the fries. Yum-O.

    You can do this the hard way or the easy way. I prefer this formula: Don't think. Don't look at the menu. Order a Philly CheeseSteak Sandwich, wait about 3 minutes, stuff the Philly into mouth and find yourself in beefy-gooey land. Not full? Go back and order their meatball sandwich. Tips: Their pepper bar in the back (south) of the shop rules. I add sliced cherry peppers and always grab a squeeze bottle of their white jalapeno sauce for my Philly. Don't get creative with your order. They are in a small group in Utah of master food purveyors with this philly sandwich... You catch some opinions on how they should make your cheesesteak, and you will get instant attitude from attending staff. They don't come to your job and take the mop out of your hands, do they? ;)

  • Diana L.

    Totally overrated meatballs and extremely mediocre philly cheesesteak. Bland, soggy and generally disappointing ingredients. I couldn't even finish my meatball sandwich. I tried to push it on my boyfriend, who gave up after a few bites, too. And the meatballs were actually better than the philly cheesestake, if you can believe it. One thing I'll say is the fried pickles were pretty good. If I get dragged back there, that's all I'm going to have. Maybe a bag of Maui Onion potato chips. But a sandwich? You couldn't pay me to eat another Moochie's sammy.

    Went for the meatball. Came away with a big smile. The seasonings and the sauce are excellent. I could hardly finish a 6". We wanted to take these to go, but there is no way you can eat these messy things in the car. We killed a lot of trees with the amount of napkins we used. Potato salad and brownie were pretty good. Nice selection of chips. And they have little cokes in the glass bottle. No ice tea? This place is run with machine-like precision. It has to be that way with the crowds pouring in. Fortunately it was nice and sunny out so we could sit outside. Very strange layout with the adjoining house for extra seating. You have to go outside after picking up your order to go to the other house where the bathroom is. Sounded like they were doing some construction in back. Maybe this odd architecture will be remedied.

    You know those people who say that they have been going to a place since WAY before it was popular. Yeah, I am that guy and my place is Moochies. I used to live about 4 blocks away and I remember seriously considering buying a ceramic mug while waiting for my awesome sandwich to arrive. I can't say I went in before they started serving the best meatball and Philly sandwiches in Salt Lake City but back in the day, this was a pottery shop that served great sandwiches more than it was a sandwich shop. I could go on about how it used to be but now it is a great sandwich shop. The service is friendly and it is nice to see Joanna, the owner, every once in a while behind the counter. I usually get the 6 inch Philly with onions and mushrooms in the meal with potato salad and bread pudding. I always take a side of Jalapeño sauce . This is the perfect big meal. The Philly is the perfect mix of dark steak, cheese, onions, and mushrooms. The sauce is not spicy but has a really great cream flavor that mixes with the beefiness of the sandwich. I have eaten a 12 inch sandwich before and though it was delicious, you don't feel good after doing it. You also need a nap. The potato salad is hands down my favorite in SLC. It is a spicy dill version that I haven't ever had before. At times, it can be too "wet" but the flavor is always right on. The bread pudding is a simple but well executed dessert that always a nice finish to the meal. There are times when I diverge from the usual. The meatball sandwich is excellent if messy. My kids love the spaghetti. It has a very good Italian-american marinara sauce. Go here.

  • Mariel C.

    After seeing this place on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and reading yelp reviews, we decided to try it. DEFINITELY didn't live up to the hype. We got the meatball and the philly, the two most popular, ti share. Meatball was decent, not as flavorful as I expected, the sauce was bland. The philly was extremely disappointing. It wasnt hot, it was almost room temperature. Its supposed to come with onions and cheese, saw maybe one onion and barely there cheese which was smushed in the corner of the bun. The meat was super dry, I didnt finish it. When I went to grab napkins, I looked back at the grill and saw why my sandwich was unsatisfactory. They have a pile of steak on the grill in the corner, sitting there. I understand you need to make batches at a time but having a huge pile sitting there? No wonder my sandwich was a cold, dry mess. Also, we realize you were on a Food Network show, but all of the posters about it get a little annoying.

    Once again Moochies killed it! Great cheesesteak! The bread today was absolute perfection. Soft, but the crust had a little crunch. Seriously the best. With their new digs you have your sandwich almost as soon as you pay, which is nice for lunchtime. Everyone working here was pleasant as well. Only downside is parking can be a bear sometimes.

    Food was AMAZING! Fry sauce was scrumptious...service SUCKED. I am from the Bay Area visiting my brother who raved about this place! When we entered we grabbed menus and immediately were beckoned to register two by an employee who's tone sounded like he'd rather be some place else. We said give us a minute to look at the menu...that went in one ear and out the other because he said in a louder voice, "register 2 is ready for your order." When we approached the register, the employee was less than charming as we ordered our food. $33 dollars later, and 5 min later our food was ready. My brothers meatball sandwich was a cheesesteak...so he took it back to get the proper sandwich. The same dude who took our order actually argued with my brother and than made a smug comment to the chef about the order. Seriously, this guy was a dick! Totally ruined the experience of eating at this place that apparently Guy Fieri was at not too long ago. I will never come back when I visit my brother again!

  • Phil K.

    First time in - had to try BOTH the meatball and cheesesteak subs... Ok having lived in Philly for several years...this is not what I considered a Philly Cheesesteak...(not like Pats, Geno's or Jim's) - it had sort of a brown gravy over it...taste wasn't bad - good rib eye - not as fatty as I like it. Yes I like it a bit fatty. They had an interesting jalepeno mayo in squeeze bottles on the tables - which actually matched up well - recommend trying it. The bread which I think is an important part of the equation that is a cheesesteak was not at all like Amoroso's awesome toothy chewy rolls but it wasn't bad had a dense bite to it - not at all bready - which is a good thing Now for the meatball sub... Ok it just so happens that I lived in NYC as well and one of my favorite memories was sharing a whole meatball sub with moms in Queens - so needless to say I'm used to meatball subs as well. This bread this time was a good match for it (same roll) - unlike my previous post on their cheesesteaks - the meatballs were good - soft and big - it could have used more spices for my liking (maybe some marjoram) but now I'm just getting picky - the sauce was good - not bitter like you would see with sub-standard marinaras that rely too much on tomato paste...it could have even used more sauce but that would have made this almost messy uneatable - almost...overall not bad

    The food is fantastic. My daughter loved the cheesetake, my son loved the meatballs and we loved the eggplant. It was the best meal we ate in Salt Lake City while we were visiting! We hit up several restaraunts from the Diners, Drive-Ins and dives and this was by far the best one we visited.

    In my quest to find the worlds best Cheese Steak, Moochie's holds the #1 spot. A couple of months ago I happened to be in Philadelphia. I went to both Geno's and Pat's. Additionally I have been to several places in Utah that say they have cheese steaks. There is no doubt in my mind that Moochies is the best cheese steak I have ever had. The bun had the right amount of crunch on the outside with plenty of heft to hold the meat in. Onions and peppers were perfect. The meat and cheese were delicious. I was full, but sad when I finished, because I wanted more. I tried the fries this last trip. Excellent. The spicy dip was great! We arrived at 11:30am an there was already a big line out the door. Seating is a bit of a problem, but I noticed that some people took their trays outside and went next door. I guess there is seating over there. Who da thunk it? Bottom line. I don't care if the place is poorly laid out, doesn't have enough seating and lacks a bit on ambiance. The food is what matters and this place has it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. (unlike the rudeness you get in Philly). All I can say is, "Moochie, open a second shop up north so I don't have to drive so far!" UPDATE: I went to Moochies again after many months of not going. On the surface, not much has changed. It is still crowded at lunch. However, the experience today was less than what I had hoped. It seems that the quality has fallen off a bit and the price is definitely gone up. It got a 12" steak with provy, onions, peppers, and mushrooms it cost just over $14 with tax. Also, it just didn't seem as good at the first time I went there. Don't get me wrong, it was still excellent, just not outstanding.

    LOVE this place! It's so tasty, but so heavy! I usually am interested in getting foot long sandwiches, but this beast of a resturaunt only serves in sizes that are full meals. Even the 6 in sandwich could be too much for some people! All in all, I really like the sandwiches. I got mine to go and man, if I've got one complaint about the place, it's that their sandwiches do not keep. I wish they'd have given us a container of cheesesteak and the buns seperately because by the time I actually ate my sandwich after a 15 minute drive, it was soaked through with the oily deliciousnes of the cheesesteak. I like to keep clean when I eat. ;) Of all the places I've tried in SLC, this place is the best and rivals cheesesteaks I've had just about anywhere else! Not for the health conscious!

    I've never liked Cheesesteaks until Moochie's. Seriously delicous, each and everytime I go I have to order a foot long. Even though I know that half way through it I will be stuffed, its so good you have to power your way through the other half. They also have a killer reuben, when I go it's always between the Cheesesteak and the Reuben. Both are perfection.

    So, back in December my co-worker found out that I am going to Salt Lake to board, he requested a philly cheesesteaks from Moochie's because he saw them on Diner, Drive-ins and Dives. I headed toward to Moochies's on my way back to the airport on Sunday...... Darn, they are closed! I forgot this is Utah! So this past Friday I made an efford to hit the place when I landed in Salt Lake again. We barely got there before it closed at 7:30pm! Well, the meatball sandwich is saucey and delicous! So is the cheesesteaks. It worked out perfectly when my friend and I share a 12" of each. Yummmmm.... I barely finished the 6" cheesesteak, and had to take a break to sample the meatball sandwich. It lived up to its name, and it was a great way to load up some caleries before hitting the slope. Oh... the price is fair, and it beats dinning at some fancy place in Park City. It used to be only a potery studio, but the owner starting to make the cheesesteak since she was from philly, it gotten so popular now that they have a full cafe area that sells potery on the side. Make sure you take a picture with the John Wayne cutout. My only complain? Can't pick up a sandwich on Sunday for my co-worker! Sorry Tom!

    Is it wrong of me to admit I'd secretly hoped Moochie's wouldn't live up to its reputation? I dated a guy from Philly who wouldn't shut up about Moochie's throughout the entirety of the two months we spent with each other. The only thing we managed to discuss more was where he wanted our relationship to go, thus kiboshing both a future together and my plans to eat cheesesteaks at any time in it. So I was reluctant to visit Moochie's at all (lest I run into its number one fan), and only did so under a cloud of intense scrutiny. I don't know that I've ever had a real Philly cheesesteak anyway, so I certainly wasn't searching for some local version to satisfy cravings. Nor am I much of a sandwich fan in general. Let's put it this way: very little was working in favor of an exceptional rating here. Then I tried the food. A gargantuan pile of grilled steak, onions, peppers, and mushrooms smothered in Cheez Whiz and homemade marinara changed my mind instantly--to my utter astonishment. And a quarter of that footlong was only half of the equation. Another split of an Atomic meatball sub, peppered with creamy feta and a just-spicy-enough jalapeno sauce, had me wondering if a future with Philly guy would have really been so bad. The eclectic variety of other items offered here is a tad superfluous but kitschily charming, especially via handwritten menu boards and countertop package displays. I tried nothing but those two sandwiches and a soda, but may be enticed to purchase a Tasty Cake next time I visit. And there will be a next time. Just don't let the natives know I'll go slightly less authentic on my second round--the only thing I'd change about a cheesesteak at Moochie's is a hold on the marinara. Which, to their credit, is how their signature sandwich is served if you don't go out of your way.

    Being that at one point in time I lived on Philly's doorstep, I am a bit of a snob when it comes to Philly Cheese Steaks. Moocie's was a pleasent surprise out west. The steaks are hot, tasty and come quick. Though it looks quiet and humble from the outside, Moochie's is a phenominal place to sit down and have some good old Philadelphia Comfort food. Every time I head out to Salt Lake the first thing on my mind is "When am I going to get to run back to Moochie's?" The staff is laid back and cool about everything. Just about the only thing that this place does which is not cool is not accepting American Express for any order under $50. Other than that this place takes the cake, the meaty cheesy cake that is.

    This place does it right. Great subs with good customer service. Moochie really knows her stuff. I like the pizza steak which is a philly cheesesteak sandwich with peperoni and marinara sauce added. Hot, fresh, delish. The meatballs are awesome. They are so big she cuts them in half to get them on the sub. The italian sub is huge with nice, fresh deli style meats. I recommend calling a head then by passing the ordering line and going straight to the pick up counter.

    I have eaten at both Pat's and Geno's in Philadelphia and the cheesesteaks here are really quite delicious. I also tried the meatball sub which was to die for.

    Authentic and delicious, Moochie's delivers great cheesesteaks and amazing comfort food. I'm a dedicated Moochie's fan for about four years running after living in the neighborhood nearby and being introduced by a friend. They used to have a punch card program, which I miss, and I made it through a few punch cards in what must have been record time. The staple items are the meatball sandwich, which is great, and the cheesesteak, to which you can add mushrooms or peppers. I prefer it plain (steak, onions, cheese) with extra cheese on occasion. Other menu items have also been great - the salami sandwich comes immediately to mind. It's the cheesesteak that keeps me coming back, and to me, Moochie's is the only cheesesteak in town.

    Love me some steak and cheese sandwiches! Soft white bread, tender meat, cheese, your choice of peppers, onions or mushrooms.. Seriously best phillys to touch taste and smell. Also the meatballs are pretty yummy. You get more than what you pay for :)

    I had their meatball sandwich and it didn't taste extraordinary as everyone describes. I went to a few other DDD recommended restaurants and Moochies is one of the restaurants that makes me feel skeptical about the show.

  • Matt M.

    The atomic meatball sub was By far the best meatball sandwich I've ever had. It had the perfect amount of heat and lots of delicious feta cheese. The Philly Cheesesteak was also delicious. The bread was yummy and the meat was juicy and tender. I would definitely go back.

    Great little sandwich shop with great service. Food here is what really sets this place apart from the chain sando shops. This place has character, local history and flair while remaining authentic to what you'd find back east.

  • Tom N.

    Great - must try meatball sandwich - definitely try the Jalapeno sauce - you will not regret it. The heat can vary but it enhances the sandwich perfectly. They're known for their philly cheese steak but I just found it to be pretty good...

  • Joe S.

    This is the best steak and cheese sandwich I have had in Utah of the places I have tried so far! And it's going to be very hard to beat! I know that the "Philly cheesesteak" sub is called that for an affiliation with Philly etc etc but I never had one in Philly so I can't compare but I will say that the cheesesteak sub is a popular sandwich on the east coast and you can get a great one anywhere in the Boston area which is where I moved from. Moochies steak and cheese sandwiches are served in bread that is baked crisp which is nice. The thing is just HUGE!!! It took me awhile to eat it - even a 6 inch one - and I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day!!! The service there is great, can't wait to go back!

  • Merie H.

    Just awesome. This place has really great character. Even though I am a Philly cheesesteak fanatic, I opted for a ham and swiss sandwich and it wasn't disappointing. The bread they use there is great and don't get me started on the jalapeño sauce. I'm definitely making it a point to come back here for lunch in the near future.

  • Katee L.

    I went in here with the excitement that it's been on TV, so if Guy liked it, I have to try it. I got the Philly Cheesesteak. It was HUGE, I ate about half of it. Loved the jalepeno sauce. Use that for a dip for any of the sides and your good to go. My boyfriend has since bought me a Moochie's shirt to show our love for the place.

  • Karen C.

    I've been waiting to try this place after hearing about it from my friend and all I have to say is "totally awesome!!" It reminds me of the philly cheese steaks I had in Philadelphia. One thing that I was a bit upset about was NO FRIED PICKLES - they don't offer it anymore, so the menu I was looking at was probably old. They redeem themselves with the sweet potatoes fries, which was delicious with the fries sauce. The pickled jalapeno peppers was a little too hot for my liking but it was yummy. Sandwiches are ginormous, so if you eat like a bird... share. I was only able to finish half of the 6" philly sandwich. I'll be back next time

  • Dustin B.

    Considering how much people rave about this place it's hard to say how it compares. Frankly I think it's over-rated, but only because people talk as if God himself is making the sandwiches. Its not THAT good, but they are really good cheesesteaks. So many places I get cheesesteaks they are just too peppery, pepper can be great but I should be able to taste something else besides that. These were just perfect, you could taste pepper but you didn't feel like you were sucking on a pepper shaker. I got the cheesesteak loaded with mushroom pepper and onion, and with all that veg it was pretty juicy. You'll need lots of napkins but it's worth it. The optional jalapeno sauce is also good but in high amounts hides the flavor of the sandwich. I'd recommend trying some but use it to augment and enhance the flavor, not overwhelm it. Lastly you might want to avoid the prime lunch hour because of lines, come in about 2pm and you'll be fine.

    My husband and I went after seeing Moochie's on 'Diners Drive-In's & Dives" . It tasted even more mouth watering than it looked on TV. I wish I had more of their yummy sauce I dipped my sweet potato fries in!

  • Casey M.

    I have not found a better cheese steak in SLC yet, these are the best. With all the fixings (onions, mushrooms and bell peppers) I can even rationalize getting a fair share of my daily servings of vegetables when I have one of these!

  • Jenn W.

    My husband and I decided to give this place a try as we tried to remember the last time we had a good Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and couldn't recall!! These sandwiches are to die for!!! The shop itself is super small and seating is very limited, and parking is also very difficult as well. The sandwiches are meaty and a 6 inch will more than fill you up. When we are back in Salt Lake we will definitely be stopping in again!

  • S W.

    Good but not super impressed. I have had both the meatball sub and the cheesesteak, and neither one was all that great. Decent food but probably won't be coming back here with better options nearby.

    You can often tell how good the food is in a restaurant by how busy it seems during lunchtime. I really enjoy finding the "hole in the wall" or "hidden diner" that although tucked away in a remote neighborhood has awesome food. If you see a lot of cars lined up outside around the lunch hour then its probably a safe bet that the food is pretty good inside. Thus is the case for my inaugural foodar review post at Moochies off of 800 South and 250 East. Moochies wasn't always the cult lunchtime spot in Salt Lake City, located just a few blocks West of Liberty Park. It used to be just a small pottery shop called Circle Pottery. I remember a friend and I were having some Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches over at East Coast Subs on State Street and while reading through a copy of City Weekly, we noticed a small advertisement for Moochies Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches located in the back of a pottery shop. Being fans of the Philly Cheesesteak we were intrigued to go try this new place out. A few days later I drove by and found the place, although you would never know there was a restaurant there, I went in not knowing what to expect. Walking in for the first time, the walls were lined with pottery creations with small price tags as well as classic garage tin signs for sale. I walked up to the counter in the back of the store and ordered my first Moochies cheesesteak sandwich, and thus history was made. The lady asked if I would like mushrooms on my sandwich, which my reply was of course "yes". She then explained that the original cheesesteak sandwiches over in Philly made their sandwiches with Cheese Whiz American cheese, and she asked if I would like to get mine with provolone. I opted for the provolone cheese. Sometimes I think back on that day. What if I would of gotten my sandwich without the mushrooms or without provolone cheese? Although still awesome tasting, would it of been the same life changing event that transpired that day? No my sandwich was a masterpiece, but it would only get better. I was also introduced to Moochies famous jalapeno sauce. Jalapeno Sauce deserves it's own paragraph, tome, volume, discussion, thesis... all by itself. I'm not even sure what it is really made off, other than I'm pretty sure there are ground up jalapeno bits inside. Scholars have researched for years its contents and all the major universities and institutions in the world still don't fully agree what is in the sauce. Maybe fairy dust, maybe some reminent of a highly addictive drug, or perhaps gypsy tears. This stuff is AWESOME!!! They handed me my own bottle of Jalapeno Sauce and I walked over to my table with Jalapeno Sauce, 12 inch Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, and a batch of fresh garlic cheese bread and marinara sauce. As I begin to eat, a small tear came to my eye. Not because the jalapeno sauce was spicy hot (it wasn't) but because the food was so good I though I had been trasported to Philadephia heaven. I asked myself "I can't believe this is happening to me". The japalpeno sauce was so good. The bread was so fresh and crunchy on the outside, but chewy on the inside. I made sure that as I took every carefully selected bite, that each morsel was properly garnished with jalapeno sauce as to achieve the proper meat to sauce ratio in my mouth. I wasn't going to let a single bite go to waste, or enter my mouth unprepared. Now these sandwiches are a foot of carnivore bliss and even though I was getting so full and my belly was despertly begging my mouth to stop, I just had to continue on it was so good. The meat was tender and juicy. The cheese intertwined with the meat, and with mushrooms and sauce. Every bite was better and better. The garlic bread side didn't play second-fiddle either. You have two slices of toasted sandwich bread, with a handful of shredded cheese inside, that was naturally melting inside the warm epicenter of the package. You read that right. They don't melt the cheese on for you, they let the natural heat melt the cheese. What resulted was cheesy, garlicy, toasty, delicousy, heavnly, yum-yum-ness that is beyound description. I somehow managed to fit all this food into my stomach. I leaned back in my chair and let out a nice solid burp that really was a nice cap to my meal. or so I thought. I got up from my chair and went over to look in the display case and noticed there were some packages of "Tasty Cakes" that were imported from Philadelphia. I asked the lady behind the counter to tell me about the "Tasty Cakes". She just looked at me and asked me in a sweet angelic voice. "Do you want some Tasty Cakes". Uhhhhh. Duh? You mean to tell me there is something called a "Tasty Cake" and I'm not going to try it. I again whipped out my debit card and ordered me some tasty cakes to take with me on my trip back to the office.

    "Bout time ya got around ta writ'n a revoo a' dis joint! Hell Pa, It's been a cupple months, ya lazee old fart! (This, from Ma Megabyte, who is The Captain's Spouse, Partner in Crime, and Chief Tormentor) Sigh... Well here I am Ma! And for the love of meat balls, please stop calling me Pa! "Oops sorry Capn'n Cheeze Hole, or whuttever yer a' callin yerself these days." Ahem! Loyal Pie Holers, near and far, especially those residing in Salt Lake City, Utah! You locals already pretty well know what I am about to relate about this quirky, loveable eatery, which was featured some time ago on "Diners Drive Ins and Dives", by the redoubtable Guy Fieri. The Captain tried one of their meatball sammies back in Jan, 09. Knowing he would return for the holidays at the end of that year, he wanted Ma to be there with him so the review could be thorough and well rounded... "Jist like you Cap'n... Hee Hee." SEE HERE! Write your own review of this joint if you want to, but stop butting into mine! "Okay Pa! Sheesh! Crunching through frozen slush, Ma and CPH approached the joint noting the large galvanized smokestack poking through the roof, which was positively glistening with streaming meat fat! "Yah Cap'n, hopez they gotz their insurance paid up!" Umm... Yes, Ma. Believing this boded well for a meal of sensual, voluptuous splendor, promising a sumptous, gluttonous gastronomy, we entered, apparently only minutes before the day's lunch rush hit. We secured a table for two with little trouble. The Captain gallantly allowed Ma to take her ease as he que'd up with the other ravenous reprobates, and called out the menu choices across the room to her, ignoring the frowns of the other patrons elicited by his West Coast bravado. Encouraged by the knowing grins being exchanged by the staff, He ordered a cheese steak sandwich with onions and mushrooms, and with slight trepidation, the eggplant marinara sandwich, which Ma insisted on. Availing themselves heartily of the self serve condiments, they fell upon their subs with lusty abandon. The Captain was mesmerized by the fatty unctuousness and savory glories of the thin sliced steak, the cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms, nestled in a fresh french roll. Ma wasn't quite as thrilled with hers. The bread and marinara were perfect, but the eggplant was mushy and lacked flavor. The Captain reminded her, he had recommended the meatball sub, but... NOOoo! "Yah Pa, ya stingy basterd! Ya wouldn't even give me more than a nibble o' yer cheesesteak!" Well, I offered to order you one of those, or a meat ball sub, but... NOoo! "Awright, Blow Hole! Quit steel'n John Belushi's mateeryal! Steel'n from the livin's bad enuff, but ripp'n off the dead? That's just wrong!" So! Ma Megabyte agrees to agree, a five star review is in order here and... "Whut? Like hell, ya overstuffed bilge bunny, I think.. MPHH! MPHH! Git yer hand offa my... MPHH! MPHH! Mphh... mmm... ZZZZZZZZ!" My! That chloroform is smelly stuff... Oh! Err... Umm. Ma Megabyte and The Captain nodding... I mean signing off. This and all other reviews posted on yelp.com by "Captain Pie Hole" are copyrighted 2009/2010 by Pie Hole Publishing. All rights reserved.

    Best Philly in SLC and the jalapeño sauce is spectacular. The meatball sub is big and messy but very flavorful as well. There is usually a long wait around lunch time but if you go a little early or late you should be fine.

    Being from the around the Philly area, we had to try Moochies after all the good reviews. The meatball sub is good but they were a little too spicy for me. Good cheese and bread. The cheesesteak was a 7 out of 10. Fries were good and the fry sauce hot. Interesting atmosphere what atmosphere there is. Lots of folks who saw it on DDD are there. Quick service.

    We had never heard of the place. We decided to go because of a friend told us it was a great place to eat. We went and had one of their awesome cheesesteaks and the amazing fries. Their jalapeno sauce was amazing, I dipped everything in it. I will definitely go again when I'm back in town.

    Moochie's is DA' BOMB! As a native Philadelphia and a current Angeleno, I am a sucker for all types of food - but there is nothing like a taste of the hometown. Moochie's is the perfect spot for this. All of their sandwiches are homemade and fresh! The Cheesesteak (also known as a Philly) is delicious! The meat is moistened amazingly and with the fresh sauteed veggies - you pick which you want on your sandwhich but I LOVE the mushrooms and peppers! SO GOOD! My next favorite is the meatballs! These are as close to getting Mom's homemade meatballs and gravy as you are going to find. It's the real deal ladies and germs. These homemade Italian delicasies will leave you wanting more. And worth the 1,000 mile travel to get. I highly recommend a fountain soda (coke) and Tastycake to go with your sandwich. The ambiance of the place is just like being at home. Being greeted with a "Hi, how are ya?" and leaving with a full-tummy! Totally worth crossing time zones to get to Moochies!

  • Valerie Y.

    I've been here several times now, and I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I think the sandwiches are decent, but not worth the price. Service is very hit or miss- sometimes it is very fast, but on my latest visit I called my order in ahead. I got there 15 minutes after I called it in, and they hadn't even started (the place was pretty empty too)- they did have my order. Then as I waited, the cooks were just playing around in the kitchen, I noticed them set my order on a shelf in the kitchen and not say a word to the cashier. I had to ask for it, and they didn't apologize for the wait. I won't be back again.

    I'm not sure what else i can add regarding the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, but that it really lives up to the reviews. Something about the meat or bread or both is wonderful! Try some of their potato salad too and you get a great little kick the completes the meal. Must try in SLC! p.s. I appreciated the directions to order my sandwich, made me feel less like tourist :)

    Quite honestly I didnt expect much out of Utah. But after trying places like Moochies I had to bite my tongue! This was the best philly cheese steak I have ever had! Now im no Cheese steak aficionado, however I know when something is good, and this was far better than good! Kinda odd decor, but it adds to the charm of this small family run place.

  • Peter B.

    OK. Moochie's is located in Salt Lake City. Salt Lake shouldn't be held to the same standard as Gino's in Philly. You don't order your cheesesteak "whiz whit" or "whiz whit-out". With that being said, the cheesesteaks at Moochie's are very very good. The Meatball sandwiches are great as well. However, I'm very much partial to the cheesesteak. I have to mention that I laughed out loud at the review that stated that they didn't think it was fitting for a cheesesteak to have "american cheese" or a Velveeta taste. Ha! I bet you've never been to Philly. An authentic Philly Cheesesteak has warm Cheese Whiz liberally applied .

  • Daniel W.

    TV can make my frickin underwear look good enough to eat. I am such a sucker for anything on the Food Network but I am quickly realizing that looks can be very deceiving when it comes to food. They are famous for 2 things. The Meatball and the Philly. We ordered both, and both were disappointing. Both were way too bread heavy and severely lacked sauce, grease, something man! Give me some flavor Moochie! The meatball was not flavorful at all and really lacking on sauce, but the cheesesteak was even worse. The steak was bland, somehow they sucked the flavor out of the peppers, the cheese was not even redeeming. Move on my friends, there are much better sandwiches in Salt Lake. Go with Kneaders, House of Bread, or Great Harvest if you want a decent sammie.

    I great hole in the wall place to eat. Nothing fancy, nothing frilly, but the food was great and the service was quick and with a smile. I had the original Philly and it was fantastic. With your own self serve peppers of several varieties it's easy to customize your Philly as well.

    Ok people, I went back for the meatball sub, and again for the philly. I'm glad I did; this place is great! Huge portions, juicy subs, big selection of soft drinks. Next time, I'll try the Reuben (even though it's hard for me to eat a reuben sandwich without a potato pancake on the side). ;)

  • Fausto C.

    Decided to stop here after I saw it on Diners Drive Ins and Dives and was on a business trip. Had the standard meatball sandwich. It was very good, the bread was soft and the meatballs were juicy not dry like other meatball sandwiches I've had. It had a lot of sauce and good thing they give it to you in butcher paper because it can get messy. I like spicy food so tried the white jalapeno sauce after a recommendation from a customer there, good thing I did. It was unique but gave the sandwich a great kick. Overall its a small place but the meatball sandwich was very good, highly recommended!

    I came to Utah for work and had to visit Moochie's because (1) I wasn't sure of where else to eat in Salt Lake City and (2) Everyone raves about this place. I got there around 1:00 PM and there was a little line that was starting to inch out the door. The place is small, but they have another dining room next door. The line went quickly and before I knew it, my meatball sub was ready. I got the smaller size with a side of potato salad. I really liked that they had a huge selection of peppers available. Peppercinis, sliced jalapenos, cherry peppers and whole peppercinis. Perfect for a spicy food lover like me! I opened my sandwich and the first thing I smelled was the lovely scent of tomato and oregano! The bread was crisp on the outside, but the inside was soft and had soaked up all the marinara. Melty provolone provided a nice barrier to keep the bread from getting too soggy. The meatballs were delicious; not too dense and nicely flavored, but they were just a little too big and I had a hard time keeping all the meatballs inside my sandwich while I was eating it. I had to keep re-stuffing the end meatball back into the sandwich so it wouldn't plop onto my tray. They make huge baseball sized meatballs and cut them in half for the sandwiches. The potato salad definitely had an interesting kick to it. Not your typical potato salad, as this one was loaded up with mustard, dill and what I thought was dill pickle juice. If you're not a fan of pickles, you're not going to enjoy this. I actually enjoyed the "zing" that it provided and scarfed it down. Before I left, I also stopped by to grab one of their daily specials for the plane ride home. The lamb sausage with peppers, onions and mushrooms was good, but I felt that the lamb sausage was lacking in flavor. It had the gaminess that lamb is associated with (which I enjoy) but the seasonings fell short. The nice girl at the register did let me know that the lamb sausages were made with local Utah lamb.

    I have had cheesesteaks all over the planet and this is the best. No wonder it was on Diners, Drive-in's and Dives! The Fries were good and the fry sauce is awesome with a nice kick. A must eat for the sandwich lover!

    Went here because of Triple D's recommendation with Guy Fiere. It really is a hole in the wall dive, very eccentric. The people taking your order and cooking it up also look like punk rockers with lots of tatoo's, mohawks and body piercings. We ordered the Philly Cheese Steak fully loaded. It really was delicious and the jalapeno sauce went with it perfectly. All in all it was a really fun experience and good food.

    hands down best cheesesteak ive had. this place holds a legendary place among my food experiences from all over the world. yes it was very busy but well worth the wait. the sandwich's are huge and worth every doller. i got a chicken cheesesteak with peppers, shrooms, and the jalapeño sauce. this place is true east coast from the owners, the bread, chips, italian ice and even tasty cakes. loved every bite and no cheesesteak has been able to hold a candle since.... even in philly

    After I saw Guy Fieri chortle down one of Moochie's Philly Cheesesteaks on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (damn, that should have been my show), I had to have one for myself ... How was it? The Best dang Philly Cheesesteak in Salt Lake City. Postsrcipt: Not sure why some of the other reviewers do not agree, I can only chalk it up to a maligned Utah palate. In general, restaurant food in this locality sucks, big time. I've lived in most regions of the USA and have to report that Salt Lake City is the culinary black hole of the nation. When you find a gem like Moochie's, it is serendipity indeed ...

  • Sam S.

    Holy cow. Best big, meaty, messy sandwiches in town. This place is amazing. The meatballs are fantastic, and the sauce they're drenched in is even better. Add cheese and a little mayo and you'll be satisfied for days to come. And that's even before you bring up their philly cheese steak... This place is a must try. Yeah, the sandwiches are greasy, messy, and probably takes a full week at the gym to work off. But there's nothing quite like it in SLC. Probably best to wear a dark-colored shirt. Not a place for vegetarians though...sorry... And they sell pottery too. Wha?

    I just don't see it, yelper steered me wrong here. I have to go with my buddy Charles on this and say it was nothing to be impressed by. I saw it on triple D and got all excited but I'm just not into greasy and over peppered Philly cheese steak sandwiches. It was a rumble in my belly jungle all day after not to mention i had moochies stained fingers for like two days. I would take a Great Steak Escape at the mall any day before taking moochies to the gut.

I got a 12in Philly cheese w/added mushrooms (didn't dig the mushrooms) and made it a Moochie's meal for 2.89 which included choice of either potato or macaroni salad and a dessert of brownie, bread pudding or baklava. the annoying part of the meal is that it doesn't include a drink... and they only have canned drinks so -1 star! the upside is that a 12in could easily be split with two people and split in 3 for kids! they're huge!!! and those who don't dig beef they offer a cheese-chicken steak, and those vegetarian's they have a grilled veggie sandwich. they have an affordable menu with a good selection or hot/cold sandwiches, salads, entrees, desserts and a kids menu @ $3.00-4.00 (spaghetti, spaghetti w/1/2 huge meatball, grilled cheese or 3in ham/cheese sandwich) next time I'm in id like to try their homemade deep dish lasagna or a meatball sub!!!!! they also cater

    What more can be said. I all ways get the Philly. A little pricey, but sooo good. Freindly staff. It's on my short list of places to eat when I'm in town.

    The Philly is awesome. There are other places in town with very good traditional phillies, if you want the cheese whiz jam. They have something much more delicious- a jalapeno sauce. My favorite is actually the meatball sub!

  • Douglas S.

    The Philly is probably the best sandwich in Utah. This is a great place to get a bite to go eat at the park because it is usually too crowded to want to eat there.

    I was thinking about that meatball sandwich all week, but was stuck in Colorado for most of the week and finally got over to moochies for lunch yesterday. The Meatball was everything I expected and more. The other bonus was they had a deep dish lasagna yesterday for the lunch special that was also incredible.

    I love cheese steaks, but this place just didn't cut it for me. A cheese steak for me should be overflowing meat, cheese, garnishes, and flavor - their sandwich was too saucy, and bland. The atmosphere is great, and the staff friendly. I would come again due to the proximity to my work, but if I had an extra 15 minutes, I would drive to Sandy to visit place whose store is extremely dirty, yet serves one-hell-of-a philly. A few of you have asked me of the place in Sandy - and although I purposely omitted the name so the review, I will provide the name to save a few questions - The Philadelphian around 9800 South and 700 East. Again, not the cleanest place by far, but tasty cheese steaks, great hot pepper combination, and fresh fries.

    Moochie's is delicious! I tried the meatball and the cheesesteak and both were excellent. The cheesesteak definitely benefitted from adding peppers and mushrooms. One of my favorite parts was the bread, it was so soft and tasted freshly baked. I'll definitely be returning!

  • Warren Y.

    Philly cheese are delicious here! and the fries are also good! I have tried the meatball but it's not as great as I thought it would be after reading several reviews about how great they are. Only giving Moochies 3 stars because the 3 out of the 4 times I ate here they messed our order up! and once I even had to drive all the way back to pick my order up and after re-iterating my order several times I still got a foot long meatball after I specifically said I wanted a 6" inch "authentic philly cheese steak".. But overall I had a great experience had the place has a good vibe to it.

  • Caremy K.

    Delicious! We ordered the cheese steak with peppers, the meatball sub, and a side of sweet potato fries. The cheese steak was our favorite - the bread was awesome, the meat was flavorful, and the peppers were yummy. We have been to Pat's, Ginno's, and John's cheese steaks in Philly - this one was just as good. They serve your sandwich with a side cup of their jalapeno sauce - I recommend grabbing one of the squeeze bottles from the counter when you get your food because the sauce is so good you will need more than the side cup. I noticed another recent review complaining that they only had canned drinks and took 1 star off because of that...I am guessing they didn't notice the giant fountain machine to the right. When you walk up to the counter, there is a fridge with bottled/canned drinks to your left - if you want a fountain drink, it is just to the right of where you pick up your food.

    Great sandwich. The layout of the restaurant is a little funny because it's inside an old house, so if your looking for a high brow environment this isn't the place for you. Great unique taste, check it out.

    I saw Moochie's on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives several months ago, so this was on my list while visiting Salt Lake. I was not disappointed, except that I wish I could have ordered one of everything! The cheese steak sandwiches were excellent, even an hour or so later when we ate them at home. I loved the sweet potato fries, as well as the accompanying jalapeno dip sauce.

  • John M.

    OMFG, what a meatball sandwich! I finished half and had the other half for breakfast. My wife plowed through a whole eggplant parm sammy in one sitting. Our friends split a philly and meatball and were very quiet during the devour. This place is tasty.

  • Ned S.

    You will not not find a better Philly cheesesteak anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley. I love the hole in the wall atmosphere and the employees are great. I highly recommend this place for a locals lunch in Salt Lake. FYI- it is crowded every time I go in and seating is limited, so get it to go if the weather does not allow for sitting outside. For that same reason, it is not a great place for groups, but the trade off is well worth it.

    The Philly Cheesesteak lives up to it's Hype. Hands Down the BEST I've ever had. Not that I've had a lot of Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches in my life, but I've had a couple. This thing was so good that I got full 3/4 of the way through the sandwich, but I knew if I stopped eating it, I would hate myself. So I pushed through and ate the whole thing. It is TOTALLY Worth the money. I would fly back to Utah to get it, if I had the money to.

    I like going to Moochie's for quick lunch. I love the meatball sandwiches here. It's delicious but really messy. I have to eat it over a few napkins or I'll have to go home and change before heading back to work. The staff is very efficient, but there's still a long wait when it's busy. Probably want to avoid peak lunch hours (around noon-1pm) if you don't have time to spare.

    Moochies doesn't need any more positive reviews but I went here the other day and it really is great. The only problem with Moochies is that it is overpriced, but if people are willing to pay the price I guess I can't blame them for charging so much.

    100% Completely overrated......a 100% disappointment. I thought the food was mediocre at best. American cheese on a Philly was disgusting.....the Velveeta taste completely over-powered all the other ingredients. There was no other option for another type of cheese......until we asked after the fact, then the worker said, "yeah, we have other cheese...." I think the worst part of this place was all of their "rules"......WAY too many rules for the customers. When I ordered I asked if I could get my Philly cut in 1/2 and have the other 1/2 wrapped to go (because I knew I wouldn't be able to finish the entire thing). The response was "No, they don't really like to do that". Hmmm. Okay. I pay for my sandwich and soda (to the tune of about 10 bucks) and then see several signs posted here and there about what you can and cannot do as a customer......The two "rules" that stick out in my mind (it's been a few months since I was there), were something to the effect of don't put the peppers from the "pepper bar" in the plastic cups that are sitting out for water. Instead you are supposed to use a piece of pre-cut foil to put your peppers on. What? Give me a break! I mean really, if you're going to have a "pepper bar", shouldn't you provide something sensible to put the peppers in? The second "rule" (and this is the one that made me realize I don't need to return to Moochie's) is posted above the trash can and was something to the effect of "do not throw away cups with water in them....go behind the counter and dump the water out in the sink and then throw away your cup"......again, WHAT? I worked at an Italian deli all through high school and took out my fair share of garbage with liquid in the bag. Was it gross? Yes. Did it often leak? Yes. Was it my job to clean it up? Yes. That's part of owning an eating establishment.....cleaning up after the customer!!! If I wanted to go behind the counter and dump my leftover water out in the sink, I would have stayed at home. And trying to pawn off the Costco baked goods at extremely inflated prices was almost comical! When asked if the cake was from Costco (which is was, because I know a Costco "All American Chocolate Cake" when I see one....), the worker shrugged his shoulders...... Yeah, customer service at it's finest. Obviously, I won't be back......I have NO CLUE why this place has such a stellar following. No meatball anywhere is worth that kind of hassle......

    I was in town for business and was tired of eating hotel food so I ventured out to Salt Lake City for lunch. I went with the classic meatball sub and I must admit, I was surprised. The sauce was good, the meatballs were tender and the bread had a nice bite to it. The place is small and seating and parking can be tight; they have outdoor seating but good luck getting a seat with shade. Service with a smile and a great lunch; I'll add this place to my rotation in SLC

    I tried DP Cheesesteaks about a month ago. First of all, I've never been to Philly. I also happen to not be a fan of cheesesteaks in general - I've never really found one I liked. They're either too dry, too bready, etc. But, after reading high reviews and craving some serious beef, I decided to try this place. Today I ate at Moochie's Meatballs and more. Having now tried both of "Salt Lake City's Best Cheesesteaks", I will give my vote on Cheesesteaks to DP Cheesesteaks. Here's the differences: DP Cheesesteaks: clean, almost sterile looking deli, very friendly staff. Per reviews on here, I decided to go with the Garlic Whiz Cheesesteak. I don't like onions, so I didn't get any onions or peppers. The sandwich was AMAZING! The meat was succulent, moist, and there was a good amount of it. Lots of delicious cheesy goodness with a hint of garlic... this sandwich was just great. So great that I have craved it steadily for the last month! My only negative comment would be that I didn't really like the bread - it's a thick roll that is a bit too dry for my taste although it tastes fresh. It's just a breadier roll than I prefer, and not that soft. Moochies: Hole-in-the-wall (but with good amount of parking!), atmosphere inside that's screams "trendy hole-in-the-wall semi-run down place" that existed before that scene became trendy so it feels natural, not forced. Very friendly staff, very fast service. I ordered a cheesesteak with Cheesewiz (paid the upgrade price from American cheese), without onions (because I still don't like them). The meat was a little drier than I'd prefer, and it seemed stingy on the cheese. There was no dripping or oozing of anything, which I actually found to be a bad thing. The big plus: its served on what tastes like toasted french bread. The bread was perfect! I wish DP Cheesesteaks had this bread. I think the bread was perfect for the sandwich, the toastiness was great, and it wasn't too bready. Other than that though, the sandwich wasn't that exciting. Not bad, mind you, but not as juicy as I would have liked. Better with a little of the jalapeno sauce. I tried the Fry Sauce at Moochies and thought it had a nice kick, also very nice drink selection for bottled sodas. I'm not a big fan of spicy, but their Jalapeno sauce was really good. Moochies has a pepper bar if you're a fan (I'm not, but I can imagine I would have been happy if I was). Both sell a variety of Tastykakes, which are from Philly, although I have not tried them. Rest of the menu: Moochies has a lot more options I think, and they also sell chips and fries. I didn't try the fries so I won't comment on them. DP Cheesesteaks has a smaller menu and only chips. Mostly steak-oriented sandwiches (although you can substitute). Now Moochies has a meatball sandwich, which may be their namesake. In my opinion, the cheesesteak holds nothing to their meatball! Definitely skip the cheesesteak and get the Meatball Sandwich! It was amazing! So in summary, I would go to DP Cheesesteaks for my cheesesteak, but if you're at Moochie's, maybe ask for extra cheese? Otherwise just get the meatball and you'll definitely be happy!

    So we're stranded in our hotel in Salt Lake City on a recent rainy night. There's a great college football game on the big tv in the lobby, but the food at the hotel is what you'd expect, bland looking and sounding. My husband, the hero, runs out to Moochie's (you're not going to eat there, believe me) and comes back with a philly cheese steak sub that feeds two fifteen year-olds and a meatball sub that feeds the two of us, plus our ten year old. We split an extraordinary homemade brownie for dessert. The food is large, but more importantly, fresh and delicious. The meatballs weren't perfectly round mystery meat out of a bag, they were hand made. The philly was made to order and stuffed with hand chopped beef. Worth a trip if you're in Salt Lake.

    Moochie's is great if you have the patience to wait for AWHILE. Don't even bother at lunchtime if you don't have an hour to burn. That said, the food is delicious albeit overpriced in my opinion. The Philly was well put together but the cheese wasn't really a 'part' of the sandwich if that makes sense. More of an afterthought than anything. The seating is really limited when it gets busy so it may be best just to get it to-go from Moochies.

  • Stephen C.

    Great tasting food, too-high prices. If they were located in Times Square, ten dollars for a 6 inch sandwich and cheap drink would make sense. But they're not. I've eaten at Moochies over a dozen times between 2009-2010, because I love the taste. Maybe they've raised the prices after the re-model to catch up, or maybe I'm just noticing the prices as they've always been - either way, their food is not worth the pricetag. A 12 inch steak sub is what I'd normally order, and that will fill me up. But today, I didn't want to spend $15. And then I realized that the place is too expensive for me. If I have to pay $15 to feel full and satisfied during my lunch break, there's something wrong. I could go to a nice, overpriced deli with much higher quality food and pay $5 less for a sandwich that will fill me up... I'm over this place. The price is wrong for this great tasting sandwich.

  • Marvin N.

    When we went to Salt Lake City, we had to try this place. Yep got the Meatball sandwich. It was messy and wonderful...so good. It is a 'Dive' but that's what made it so much fun. The staff was friendly and the service was quick and did I mention the meatball sandwich was good? I don't think I would have ever found this place on my own and I would be missing out. It's not the end all be all, but it was really good and worth the find.

  • Matt G.

    Not sure what all the hype is about. Quantity and not quality is the way I would describe this little hole in the wall. I couldn't wait to have the, "best Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly"... a pretty bold statement if you ask me. I would wholeheartedly disagree. The bread was soft and warm, but the meat tasted old. There wasn't enough cheese and the cheese wasn't incorporated with the rest of the sandwich. It left a lot to be desired. I would call it "fair" at best.

    i spent some time in Phila., went to Gino's, Pat's, others. Great there. But this is Salt Lake, and this is the best steak I have had in Utah. No doubt. Bummer is, chips only, no fries. Oh well, you can't have everything. Excellent ste

  • lucy y.

    It just goes to show that just because someone on the food network says it's good doesn't make it so but it sure makes the prices higher. The philly cheese sandwich isn't very flavorful unless you add jalepeos. It's way too greasy. I ordered a 12 inch with mushrooms for me and my husband to share. It was over just over $11

    We came to Utah to visit family and my cousin suggested Moochies and I saw this place on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...and it is by far the best philly cheesesteak on the west side! During our week stay in Utah we went to Moochies twice!

  • Stuart J.

    As seen on Drivers, Dine-Ins and Drives, a face of which they will often remind you. Great sandwiches, small joint atmosphere, a decent Philly Cheesesteak (about the best you can have in Utah) and amazing meatball subs. I do like the place, but I don't crave it like I do other restaurants. 4 Stars

  • Jeff H.

    I went back and had the Philly cheesesteak to complete my review. I did this for you! (Not because I'm addicted to foods that kill you. ) The cheesesteak is quite good. It's certainly the best in town, but it's not better than Pat's or Gino's in Philly. I was a little disappointed that they did not have Cheez Whiz--I really like that authentic touch. Anyway--Moochies is awesome. I'll say the Atomic Meatball is my fav, but the cheesesteak is a close second.

  • LuLu R.

    My husband and I love picking up Moochie's when we have one of those "I'm not cooking... Me neither" nights. We usually get a meatball and Philly steak sandwich. The meatballs remind me of the ones my friends Sicilian Nonna would make, delicious, and there is an assortment of peppers to add. The steak is tender and melts in your mouth. We haven't been impressed when we stray for these two sandwiches, although admittedly we only did that once. If you decide to go the onion rings are MUST try they have a light crispy batter, not bread crumbs.

    This place is about the best in Utah for steaks. . . moving here from the east coast makes you a snob when it comes to certain foods, like everything. . . But I was told to go here for the cheesesteaks and I was not disappointed. . Its a definite go-to in Salt Lake. Messy, great sauce, hole-in-the-wall hidden gem.

    Place is EXCELLENT. I go once a week. If your in Salt Lake hit it. I do the the onions and cheese. Although they have peppers and mushrooms too. They have bar with banana peppers and both hot and sweet cherry vinegar peppers. A real good jalapeno sauce too. Have to say never tried the meatball though. I do the steak. Only thing is I tend to be real thirsty afterwords. So far this is the best eats in Salt Lake City by far. Airport layover or driving through worth a trip. FYI, $2.00 bus ride from the airport.

    Probably one of the best places in Utah to have a great lunch, they will make your sandwich to order, the large is more then most can eat. I've had a real philly cheese steak in Philly and you dont get any thing more there then at Moochies, give this place a try, you should be happy.

    My buddy from Philly introduced me. Being a westerner, meat and cheese on a bun pretty much tastes the same. But I do think they make a good steak (I like the sausage and peppers myself), the meatball is tasty, and all are good'n greasy (in a good way). The place is small, kinda run down, kinda spendy, but it's close to home and the people are nice. Give it a try!

    Little upset by the service I just received, this is one of my favorite places to eat. I ordered 2 Phillys and a bottle of jalapeno sauce and I asked the employee if I could have some extra sides of the sauce and she said "you want more sauce you have a whole bottle...." and I said "oh sorry does it cost extra?" She replys "well no" I'm on my lunch break at work and didn't want to open the bottle until I was home to use on other meals I make at home and didn't want it to spill somehow in my car since there is no way to cap off the lid. I don't see why it matters weather I have a bottle or not if the sides are free... didn't find it necessary. The girl I talked too had pink hair I hope you don't keep her employed there I'm sure I'm not the only person she's been rude too. Thanks!

  • Taylor R.

    First thing I'll say, I didn't try the cheesesteak so I have no comment on that. Yet. I'm a big advocate of supporting the small local places. The venue is old but unique. The seats were full in the main building so we ventured into the neighboring house that's been converted into table space. Only downside there is that someone from your party has to wait in the main building to grab the food. I went for the 12" Atomic Meatball sandwich. It felt a whole lot bigger than 12"! Which is fine by me (however next time I will do fine with a 6"). I don't have meatball subs often, so I'm no expert on them, but it was fantastic! And not too spicy either. As you would expect, keep your wet naps handy or you'll be a dripping mess of sauce. The fries were great, especially with their jalapeno fry sauce.

    Love this place. It's small and looks kind of run down but don't let that fool you. I always get the Philly cheesesteak and it NEVER disappoints. We got our son a grilled cheese and it's probably the best grilled cheese I've ever had. Top notch food at this place!

    Their meatball sandwiches are legendary! They're bursting with flavor. Its impossible to eat one of these babies with out getting at least a little goodness on your self - it's a super messy sandwich, but totally worth it. I wouldn't recommend this place for dates, however it's a perfect joint to hit up with friends.

    Damn it. Let's just start with that. The food was amazing. The Philly cheese steak was incredible. Hot fresh bread creamy cheese sauce and tons of meat onions and Peppers. The jalapeño sauce took this one over the top. I would buy that sauce take it home and try it on everything. Service was fast and friendly despite being very busy. You may have to wait a bit for a table but it's totally worth it. You will want more. Definitely money!!!!

    I always look for local, Mom and Pop, independent businesses when I travel and Yelp hooked me up with this one. Walked in, looked around and realized this place was also featured on DDD - score! Ordered the authentic Philly cheese steak with mushrooms added and a side of pasta salad. The sandwich was good - the pasta salad was crack in a cup - I would come back just for that. Kudos to Moochies for keeping it real in their food and "ambiance"!

  • Lisa N.

    Diners, Drive-in's and Dives directed us here and we certainly grateful they did! We loved the sandwiches and the ever popular meatball sub, was just what we were craving. Try the fried ravioli, similar to a moz stick but in a square shape. Try to philly steak and cheese but get the white cheese. The original has a yellow cheese and I think a swiss or moz would be better. Not a lot of space to eat inside, but they do have some outside tables if the weather is nice. Bring your friends, order a variety and be a professional snacker!

    My order was mistakenly taken as a call-in. After waiting 25 minutes and seeing a steady stream of orders, I asked. They apologized and gave me a free brownie. No biggie The place has a very local vibe. Had meatball sand with fries. Pretty messy sand - plan to use a lot of napkins - and don't wear anything white . As far as taste - average. My sandwich did sit a while but it was pretty mushy. Meatballs were good - not over the top, but good. I added grilled onions which were very nice. Sauce tastes like something from Sysco canned foods - not my favorite. Fries were on the small side - but jalapeño fry sauce is very unique and tasty - I really liked the fry sauce. Free brownie was really good. It's a local college hangout, very young and very busy. Not a chain so it's authentic and fun. I like the atmosphere but the food was just average. If you want local meatball sandwich I think Capitos is a little better. Capitos bread is thicker and crunchier - holds up better. But Caputos sandwiches cost much more and are much smaller. If you like to eat a lot for a little and taste isn't your top priority - Moochies is for you.

    Got the 12 inch classic philly cheesesteak, it was delicious. It's a small building with not many tables and don't sit by the door because the door slams shut every time. It's $10 for a footlong, a little pricey but it was good. They charge extra for more vegetables which is stupid. Would I come back? Probably. Little expensive for my taste though.

    Sub par at best. I paid 15 dollars for a foot long philly cheese with mushrooms and a side Mac salad. The sandwich was one of the WORST Philly cheeses sandwiches I have ever had, and my Mac salad came from a box and was incredibly small. They are using their exposure on the food network to give subpar service and even worse quality food.

    Guy Fieri has let me down in a BIG way. While I try to seek out places featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and the Food Network, I'm sad to report that I was served one of the worst cheesesteaks in my life at Moochie's. Yes folks, one of the WORST IN MY LIFE. Maybe I should've ordered the meatballs instead. There is no way these sandwiches are even close to the "best cheesesteaks;" this claim will not even hold water in Utah, which can be a culinary wasteland. Don't be fooled by the cool, divey vibe of this place. The atmosphere looks like their food would be killer tasty but it's the exact opposite. The employees on the night we were there were less than friendly. I ordered a large cheesesteak without the bun, low carb style. It wasn't a problem to do that here. The problem was the poor quality and bland taste of what I was served. Truly delicious cheesesteaks start with super high quality shaved meat. This meat was nasty. Very fatty and chewy and just horrible. The cheese and onions were okay but my meal was in dire need to some sort of seasoning -- give me ANYTHING for some flavor! The cook was so careless that my cheese wasn't even melted. Boo! It makes me melancholy to picture people eating here, thinking they are getting an "authentic" Philly cheesesteak. That makes the foodie and inner fat kid inside me cry for days and days. To add insult to injury, the prices are very high for what you get. Guess they are trying to wring as much money out of their customers like me who come in once for the novelty factor. I will not return to Moochie's.

    This place may be a hole in the wall, but there isn't anywhere in the state that makes a better Philly. Their meatball sub may be a mess but it too is also amazing.

    I didn't expect this place to have vegetarian options but they had several including an eggplant parmesan smothered in marinara sauce. Their fries are totally worth it too!

    Moochies. Yes. My family is from Philly, so they're pretty harsh judges when it comes to Philly cheesesteaks. But we love this place! (Which is a HUGE deal coming from them.) For Utah, Moochies is as close as it gets to an authentic cheesesteak. The food is so good here. I've liked everything that I have tried. My favorite is the roast beef sandwich. The bread is yummy, and everything seems to be freshly made. I've never been a fan of spicy things, so I have yet to try their famous Jalapeno sauce. However, the husband cannot get enough of it. The atmosphere is fun and lively.The employees have always been friendly and helpful. It has been extremely busy every time I've visited, so I would suggest sitting outside if it's not too hot. I definitely recommend this place. Go give it a try; you will leave happy.

    I feel like this place is a bit overrated. The philly cheesesteak was not very good at all and the sauce for the meatballs tastes like came out of a cheap can. It is also on the pricey side for what you get, and I don't mind spending money on a good meal. The redeeming things are the bread is delicious, as are the fresh fries and the jalapeno sauce.

  • Anneke S.

    On the list of my top ten places to eat while in town because my sister said so ( and frankly she's quite the boss of me) ... I stopped by moochies to catch up with old friends and grab a bite. I tried the phillycheese steak no whiz cheese for me just American loaded with peppers onions and shrooms. It was delicious juicy and pretty good flavor. However they have some lighter tangy fry sauce or this mayo jalapeño concoction that will shut you up as you devour your hoagie. Naturally I bathed my cheese steak in the jalapeño.... Dipped the crispy battered fries in fry sauce and quietly stuffed my face while everyone else caught up. This place was worth skipping breakfast for definitely.

  • Callin L.

    This place is the only reason I miss going to college. I loved coming here for lunch. Atomic MB is the best sandwich I have ever eaten. The Bread, feta, and MB go together so perfectly. I don't know what it is called but once I ate the Jalepeno fry sauce I could never respect Ketchup or normal fry sauce again. Thanks a lot Moochie's for ruining fries everywhere else. A little crowded sometimes but that's what you get for serving amazing food.

    They're known for their cheesesteaks so that's what I had to get! Ordered the 12 inch and added mushroom and peppers with the fries and drink combo. I try to eat at every cheesesteak place I can find. This wasn't the best cheesesteak I've ever had but it was a good sandwich. Crispy bread. Melty cheese. It could have added a pinch more of seasoning. Really liked the atmosphere that the building created. I ate outside at the bench under the tree. There was a nice breeze. Would definitely return.

  • Dereksen B.

    I was surprised that Moochies didn't have 4.5 - 5 starts! We love Moochies, the steaks taste great every time and the Jalapeño sauce makes the experience unlike any other. For those looking for a more mild but just as tasty alternative, try mixing a cup of their Jalapeño sauce with a few spoons of sour cream, delicious! They're always happy to start my call ahead orders, I show up, grab my steaks and head home. Very quick service, and everyone is friendly.

  • Amy D.

    The sandwiches are good but the service is sloppy. I ordered to-go from ChowNow via yelp. The steak and cheese is delicious, as is the mac salad. The salad was mediocre, average for what you'd expect from a pizza/sandwich shop. The food was ready when I arrived and the woman at the register instructed me to just go to the pick up area. Everyone was too busy to help, I waited about 10 minutes before the woman at the register had to come over to assist. I checked the bag --no drink. They said they didn't have the one I ordered (even though I'd already been charged and they were just going to let it slide) but I could pay extra for a fountain soda. Got home and found they hadn't given me salad dressing either. Overall, not a huge deal, but still an annoyance. I recommend the sandwiches, but double check your order before you leave.

    I would have to say that I'd agree with previous reviewers in saying that this place definitely serves up the best PHILLY's in SLC/surrounding areas! I haven't been anywhere else, but for a little mom & pop shop they have a good menu & I love a good philly! Big plus is their fry sauce/jalapeno version - sooo bomb! I also love that they have a little sink on the side for sanitary reasons & germa-phobes like myself to wash their hands before digging in :)

  • Sarah V.

    Why hadn't anyone told me about this place!! Definitely try a meatball if its your first time here as they are delicious. My husband ordered the meatball sub and thought the bun was fantastic which is what of yelpers report. I got the meatball and salad, the salad had a good mix of ingredients and a light and tangy sauce. Also the fries and their famous fry sauce were a must to order. I'm definitely going back.

    (5)
  • Tara D.

    1st time here. Ordered the veggie 6". Really good peppers, onions, mushrooms and the same cheese they use on their philly. Would definitely order again. Order the Mac and cheese as my side, seriously one of the best Mac and cheese I've had. Wish the side portion was a bit bigger, but I'll be back for more.

  • Benji B.

    I've eaten here years before I moved to the east coast. I ordered the six inch sausage and peppers and the philly cheesesteak. The sausage and peppers was so so, I've had better at Johnnie's Beef in Chicago, the sandwich was light on sausage and wasn't as spicy as I imagined. The philly was okay, I didn't use cheese whiz but it was something I wanted to try. My brother had the atomic meatball sub, it wasn't spicy and was so so. For the prices, I wouldn't make a priority to eat there but they made the sandwich fast and the cashier was nice. I'd like to try the rueben next, I'd recommend this place to anyone to try at least once.

  • Rhea M.

    We came to Moochie's after using the Food Network's 'Diners, Drive-ins and Dives' app on our cross country road trip and boy were we disappointed. FOOD: We ordered the meatball sub and the Philly cheesesteak. The meatball sub was nothing special; I felt like we could have made it at home and been just as happy. The cheesesteak was mediocre as well. The meat was a tad dry and wasn't packing much of a flavor punch either. The fry sauce and jalapeño sauce were really the only notable things. SERVICE: Terrible. So incredibly rude. We came in 30 minutes before closing and listened to everyone on staff moan and groan incredibly loud every time someone walked in. The staff didn't even try to hide their frustrations. The guy behind the counter was short with each person that walked in. At one point, a couple walked in and the cook slammed his spatula on the grill and the whole staff whined a series of "ugh really?!" and "are you serious???!" It was incredibly unwelcoming. As a server myself I know that it's frustrating to have people walk in so close to closing. But gain some customer service skills and learn how to hide your frustrations when you're at work like the rest of us. Overall, the rude service did not make the mediocre food worth the trek. I'd suggest you all eat somewhere else.

  • John G.

    As a native Philadelphian I know cheesesteaks. Mooches is pretty good. I will say for Salt Lake City they are great. I think charging more for cheese wiz when their cheesesteak comes with provolone is very tacky. The meatball subs are good on certain days sometimes you can tell the person who prepped didn't care so it's a crapshoot. The staff are sloppy and at times have attitudes I notice when people have questions. Honestly surprised Diners drive-ins and dives visited, maybe they are getting desperate for places to film at. 3 stars only because I don't want to be mean.

    Such a great place for meatball sandwiches. When I am in SLC I will hit this place, Epic, and Red Iguana. It doesn't look like anything was lost by having national attention. A lot of this places on Guy's shows aren't really worth it. But this one is!

    Moochie's is a rare blend of fantastic atmosphere, great food, and good value. The place has a kind of ghetto 80's diner feel to it (in a good way). Friendly staff and an open air kitchen (you can watch your good being made) lend to the cool, casual atmosphere. The food is great. Two of us split one of their famous footling meatball subs, and it was delicious and more than enough to satisfy us. Between that and the fried ravioli we each had a couple of bites left at the end we couldn't finish. We got out of there for like 16 bucks, which is great for a sit-down place as good as this. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other subs and sides. If you're looking for a fun new place to try in downtown SLC, look no further.

  • Glenn B.

    The food here is great and offers great street quality food and atmosphere without any of the hassle of a several page menu. "Keep it simple" is the impression i get every time I come here. The staff are efficient but not the friendliest of folks. Extras are always offered however, Anything extra adds 50 cents - 1 dollar extra per item with no mention of the costs unless you are lucky enough to acquire a menu which is found on the ordering counter. In regards to customer service, the food comes fast which is great. But before I tip, I'd like to know what I'm tipping for and quite frankly it's like pulling teeth to get a smile from the cashier who cannot take care of the next customer until you sign the receipt. I have never even received a "thank you" from the cashier for tipping begging the question of why tip to begin with. My advice, come for the food, not the service. Sit on the patio and take in some rays or stay inside in one of the 2 structures to stay warm or dry.

  • Chris T.

    My favorite place to eat in all of Salt Lake City. The cheesesteak is delicious. One of the best cheesesteaks I have had. I have had the meatball sub once or twice and it is very good as well, but the cheesesteak is what you need to get. Once you order that cheesesteak, you need to walk over and grab the jalapeño sauce they have. Take the whole bottle to your table, and pour as much sauce as possible on every single bite you take of that cheesesteak. The sauce absolutely phenomenal, It makes the cheesesteak 10 times better. Even though the cheesesteak is already a 10/10, So it makes the 10/10 score 10 times better. So you do the math.

  • Rachel W.

    Some people say that Moochie's has the best Philly cheesesteaks in Utah. That may be true, with the emphasis on "best in Utah." But they are definitely not the BEST Philly cheesesteaks. I feel sorry for Utahns if they think these sandwiches are that great. Having tasted an authentic Philly cheesesteak from Philadelphia, I know that people are really missing out. But I have yet to find another good Philly cheesesteak place, so I guess Moochie's will have to do for now. Whenever I'm craving a Philly cheesesteak I go here. But I always find myself disappointed. It always seems to be missing something and sort of bland. I love their jalapeño sauce, but if their sandwiches were really that great I wouldn't have to drown it in jalapeño sauce to make it taste good. The steak and cheese should be amazing on their own. Also, I can't stand places that nickel and dime you for everything. There is an extra charge for substituting cheese, not adding, substituting. And if you take it to go, they charge for the jalapeño sauce! Their potato salad is actually really good, but again, you get the tiniest portion for how much you are paying. And overall I think they are a little overpriced for a sandwich place. Honestly, I'm really not cheap when it comes to dining out, but that is seriously one of my pet peeves when they charge extra for every little thing. It's just not good business. I'm sure I'll be back because like I said, it's the only Philly cheesesteak place I know of and it's close, but I just wish they were a little better.

  • Chris T.

    Moochie's is great! You really can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches. The meatball subs are awesome but are tricky to eat, there is so much sauce! The cheesesteak is pretty great too. Like I said, you can't go wrong.

    -Rude staff. -Nickel and dimed for things that should be a given (extra for peppers on a cheesesteak?! are you nuts?!) -Over salted, yet still bland meat on the cheesesteak, it was just salty, mushy and gross. Not even steak's long lost cousin. -Meatballs

    Sweet Jesus, Moochie's is God's greatest gift to Salt Lake City. This place gives Philadelphia itself a run for its money on a mother effin' philly cheese. The bread is fresh, warm and the perfect consistency- a lil' crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy in the center. I would highly recommend adding the peppers and onions to you sandwich. SUPERB. And how do they get the perfect amount of melty cheese on every sandwich? I have never ever been disappointed. I live off 800 S and let me tell you, it's real hard not to stop there every time I pass it.

    Sinfully delicious. These sandwiches come loaded with all kinds of ingredients. I typically order the Philly cheese or the meatball, and both are just too good to be true.

    Moochies is always a winning choice. Prices are average, quality is high. The Atomic Meatball is one you have to try. It's a little messy and gives some heat, but is very good.

  • Ben K.

    Who doesn't need a good gut-bomb every now and then? Moochie's is here to provide that artery clogging fix you need so badly. Chances are you're going for one of two things, the meatball sub or the philly. You're in for a treat with either, followed by a pressing desire to take a nap. This is heavy food, a large sandwich might well serve you for two meals. The fries, while nothing remarkable, are a welcome addition to the sandwiches and the jalapeño aioli is tasty. Beyond the obviously popular items, the menu spans a double sided page. One can't help but wonder why; but those who have various dietary restrictions will appreciate the choices while your friends get their cheesesteak fix.

    As always, I acknowledge up front that five star reviews should be rare unicorns, to be awarded infrequently. I don't deign to deliver five stars very often. So when you do - you know it's good. And BOOM! Moochies is the best hoagie you can get in Salt Lake City, no doubt about it. I had heard about Moochies for years and had just never made my way around to give it a whirl. Now I weep about those years wasted on subpar sandwiches. Do your tastebuds a favor, run - don't walk - to Moochies for your next meal.

  • Sam S.

    Moochie's is a funky hole in the wall type restaurant in Salt Lake City. They serve up a variety of sandwiches and other eats including cheesesteak sandwiches. I've eaten here a few times and their cheesesteaks are pretty tasty. The beef is lean and well cooked, the onions and cheese are good, and everything is served up on a fresh, lightly toasted bun. Want to spice it up? Grab their homemade jalapeño sauce or visit the free pepper bar and spice your sandwich up as you like it! Overall it's a real good cheesesteak sandwich. I do think they'd be even better if the meat was seasoned a little more and if they had some more cheese -- but that's a minor quibble. As an added bonus, unlike other cheesesteaks Moochie's doesn't leave me feeling like I just ate a bucket of grease. Prices are cheap and service is fast. Lunch for two was $15. That's a deal! I'll definitely be eating here again!

  • Greg L.

    I stopped in and I tried the Meatball 6 inch and the Philly Cheese Steak the way previous Yelpers have prescribed. Wow! Loved them both and I look forward to visiting this establishment again. I may check out the Midvale location in the near future here. I hope the quality translates, oh yes the Jalepeno sauce was a delight. Do you only use that with the Philly or can you also use that with the Meatball? Maybe I should take more risks as an "eater of food." Have a great day!

  • Aaron S.

    This place is amazing! Every time I come to salt lake city I always stop by here for a philly cheesesteak sandwich. They are by far the best in Salt Lake. The meat is flavorful the cheese is gooey and plentiful, the onions are cooked to perfection. They have a jalapeno ranch sauce that everyone has to try at least once. I'm currently on a 12 step program to kick my addiction for the delicious sauce, but that's a personal problem. If you are in town you need to try it out. You can thank me later. Tell them Aaron sent you.

    Oh Moochie's! How could you let me down so? The wife and I were out on the town on our President's Day Holiday, so we thought Moochie's was an apt holiday lunch treat. We went expecting to use our KUER card, to get buy 1, get 1 sandwiches. But alas, it's ONLY for meatball subs. (Why diss NPR listeners who are vegetarian, Moochie's?) So we forwent the deal, and the wife (the vegetarian) ordered an eggplant parm sub. The cashier said "How strict a vegetarian are you, because the marinara is stored with the meatballs." Whaaaaa? You have a vegetarian sandwich, and an essentially vegetarian sauce, but you can't guarantee it's vegetarian because you just throw the meatballs in it, too??? As I understand it, there's no meat in the sauce; they just stew the 'balls int the marinara. How hard is it to have one extra separate pot of marinara for your eggplant parm sandwiches? Or like, just a container of it somewhere you can microwave for the odd vegetarian that shows up. It sort of sounds like the McDonald's beef flavoring in the french scandal, amirite? Good thing the wife is not too "strict," because I didn't want to leave. I really, really like Moochie's. Their cheesesteaks are good; their meatball subs are some of the best under $15 food available in SLC. But if there's nothing for the wife to eat there, then the chances that I get to go back are almost zero. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Moochies, rethink your marinara policy!

    So I was told to come here for a darn good Philly, I did and I'm not that impressed. I've have far better elsewhere...elsewhere not being in Utah. Which I have yet to try some Philly's from some other recommended places for comparison, however this Philly isn't something I would go out of my way for. It's a hole in the wall type of place, you walk in and order at the window. The place doesn't really look all that clean to me (maybe that's the look their going for though) Seating is scarce, they have outdoor seating and some type of other seating in an adjacent bldg, but all looked dirty. Idk, maybe I went on a busy day or something. The menu, I wouldn't go as far as to say it is confusing but for a first timer, I felt like I needed some extra guidance in how to order from the menu. Maybe because I was thinking that since they have only a couple of things, it should of been easier idk, maybe that's just me. Yes its good, but not the best I've had, nor even really that close. At the same time its not the worst nor even close to that worst. It's just OK. I would eat here again..one day... not sure if I would recommend it as the "best Philly in town" though.

    WOW! Just WOW!, Original cheese steak loaded with the onions, peppers and mushrooms is great then add the jalapeno sauce and it's excellent! WOW!, No need to say more.

    I enjoyed my first ever Philly cheesesteak here yesterday. I was drawn to this place because a) I've heard a lot about them and b) I read on the menu peppers are optional. I dislike green bell pepper so I jumped at the chance to finally try a cheesesteak. It was delicious. I loved the bread: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. My husband, who was sampled cheesesteaks from several other establishments, was impressed. They have Birch Beer on tap which I had never tried. It was good! It reminded me of root beer.

    Why I went- I have always been a fan of Diners Drive-ins and Dives and when I moved to Utah I knew I had to try this place. Many people from school also recommended it so I decided to go with my girlfriend on the way to the mall in Salt Lake City. What I Ordered Chicken Philly (Peppers/Onions/Mushrooms/Substituted Provolone Cheese) with a side of Marinara Sauce (I don't eat beef but if I ever wanted to it was at this place!) and sweet potato fries. Me and my girlfriend both agreed that it's a great basic Philly cheese steak with all the normal ingredients. Chicken on mine was a bit dry but their marinara sauce made up for it because it was amazing and there was plenty of cheese. Definitely filling (hit the spot because we were both starving). Sweet potato fries were also nice and crunchy and SALTED Cut to the Chase: Good News: Great Philly cheese steak, Definitely Lived up to DDD episode. Bad News: Since I don't eat beef this menu is a bit 1 Dimensional so I don't think I will be coming back very often.

    This place has really good meatball sandwiches and Philly cheesesteakes. I really like the jalapeño sauce they give, but for some reason, they're really weird about giving you extra with to go orders.

    Every bit as good as the cheesesteaks we had at Tony Luc's in Philly a few months ago. If can get over the purposeful hole in the wall atmosphere and your willing to risk the heart attack, I highly recommend Moochies. I have a friend that really likes the meatball sub here, though iIve never tried it.

    Very good sandwiches. I had a meatball sub and a Philly cheesesteak. Really hits the spot for lunch.

    I could care less about weather it is "Philly" authentic or not. I lived in NJ and ate Philly sandwiches all the time. Of course they are good, but Moochies is just plain a great sandwich joint. The bread, the cheese on great meat and other goodies and most of all the condiments to customize the flavor the way you want it. Get over your "Philly" obsession and have an amazing cheese steak sandwich. I would rather have a Moochies with the goodies the way I want it, than the best Philly in Philly limited by what they hand me.

    Moochies used to be my go-to for a fantastic cheesesteak...for years. Now every time I go the amount of meat on my sandwich seems considerably less for the same amount of $$$. Not once, twice, or even three times was this the case. I figured it was just an anomaly until it became the norm. The crew is surly and rude. I recently gave one of their competitors a chance and regretfully have to admit that they make a much superior cheesesteak (and offer provolone...something that Moochies used to offer but now scoff at). I no longer give Moochies my business.

    It was a cold and snowy Friday night. My daughter had a soccer camp at Eccles and I decided to drive into town to find a place to eat before heading back out to Sandyland. I had heard about this place because they were on TV and a buddy tried it and OMG, blah, blah, blah. It's tough pleasing a 13 and 9-year-old, at least pleasing my daughters is a challenge. My 13-year-old is gluten and lactose intolerant which makes it that much more challenging. I wasn't specifically looking for this place but noticed it so I flipped a bitch and went inside. I don't get out much and when I do, it's usually not out of Sandy. Don't cry for me, Argentina. I cook at home quite a bit. Moreover, the gin flows effortlessly here. When thinking of ways to describe my experience, "urban" is the first adjective that comes to mind. I worked around the corner at 750 South State as a kid in the early '80's. It wasn't so "urban" back then. Moochies has converted two old homes into a sandwich place. It was a little dive-ish but it didn't bother my provincial sensibilities too much. I was much more interested in staying warm from the draftiness of the place than anything else. We sat in the "overflow" house to eat. The sandwiches were great. I've never had a Philly so hot. That meat was the temperature of the center of the sun! It took 20 minutes to get it to cool down enough to eat so I tucked it into my coat to warm my core from the drafts. I don't remember what my daughters had but I'm certain it wasn't much and they both likely ended up having a bowl of cereal when we got home. If it were closer, I'd eat here. I don't think getting on television means their sandwiches are that much better than someplace else. It's the antithesis of Subway and Quizno's and that's a very good thing!

    Moochies is part of the reason I miss Salt Lake so much. You cannot go wrong with a Philly cheesesteak or meatball sub, but my personal favorite is the atomic meatball. It has feta and spicy jalapeño sauce.. Yum! Their sauce is so good you will want to dip everything in it. Portions are huge so this is a good place to share with someone.

    I remember when this place was known as the weird pottery place with a deli in the back...ah, good times. Having been to the Delaware Valley a couple of times and enjoying 'legit' Philly Cheesesteaks while there, I am so glad to have a local place with a cheesesteak right on par with anything I had back in Philadelphia. Of course you aren't going to be 'as good' as the original, but this place comes really close...pretty freaking close actually. Many reviews will talk about the cheesesteaks, but let me throw a couple other things your way...they have a 'hoagie' menu that is to die for. In the tradition of back east deli sandwiches, this place fits right in. They pile on the meats/toppings so you never feel like you're being ripped off at all. Another thing, is try their fries and onion rings. They are honestly some of the best I've ever had. THEN on top of that, they make their own fry sauce that is pretty killer. In order to truly enjoy your experience, grab a Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer from the fountain. You can thank me later for that. Oh, and two words...Jalapeno Sauce.

    Good..bread was soft and crisp.. the meat filled sandwich was very delicious. On a whim I looked up places to eat in Salt lake City, and sure enough this place was at the top of the list. The restaurant is pretty ghetto, and it gets crowded fast. I always say though, long lines means, someones doing something right. The sandwiches are nice and big, filled with goodness. I noticed many people had the meatball sandwich, I was the loner and had a cheese steak and I was enamored, especially with the spicy mayo sauce that was offered. This did wonders on my stomach the next day especially since I had a 3 day drive..lol. It was well worth it though.

    In reading some of the previous reviews, I am not sure what people who gave low ratings expected. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, not Michelin Best Restaurants. No, it is not fine dining, it is a sandwich shop, with its own ambience and atmosphere. Almost like something you would see on Seinfeld. Today I flew in from Cincinnati, Ohio the first place I had to stop was Moochie's. I had the 6" Meatball Sandwich advertised as Guy Fieri's Favorite. It has always been mine too. It was a 6 napkin experience as the sandwich was loaded with sauce. I like it so much that it is hard for me to order something else. If you pay attention to the staff it's like dinner and a show. I found them very friendly and entertaining. Looking around there were military, business men and women, locals you name it, an eclectic mix of patrons. I was touched seeing a Dad who was there with a young son who is hearing impaired, when I saw one if the female employes communicate with the boy using sign language I was impressed. I'm here all week, I will make a return trip or two.

    I have to start with a confession. You see, I love my wife very much. She's the world to me. But inching in at a close second may be my love of a good sandwich. I'm sorry you had to find out this way honey. You'll always be my favorite. Mostly because I can't marry a meatball sandwich, at least not in Utah. There's an incredible bond that you develop with a good sandwich. It's the great equalizer of food, because whether you're a Wall Street Executive, or a broke college student, usually people can find some common ground about what goes in between two slices of bread. All banter aside, I do love sandwiches, and I found a hole in the wall downtown in Salt Lake. Moochie's was recently featured on Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives, a show that encroaches on religious devotion for my family. While I don't have blind faith in Guy Fieri's picks, I usually find that they're worth a try. Much to my delight, Moochie's may have been the best Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives suggestion ever. They're famous for two things: Their authentic Philly Cheesesteaks, and their Meatball Subs. Naturally, I tried both. The Cheesesteak was everything that a cheesesteak should be. Thinly sliced beef, minced onions, grilled peppers, all held together by a tasty blanket of cheese and put on a freshly made bun. I said they're famous for two things, but they should be famous for another thing as well, namely their Jalapeno Fry Sauce. I think you could dip anything in it, and it would become instantly addicting. I must say that while the philly was good, it didn't give me the justification for Guy's rave reviews. Don't get me wrong, it was monstrously delicious, but when something makes national television, I'm expecting a near spiritual experience. I've had cheesesteaks that were nearly as good, some as good (not from Utah mind you) and I was ready to chalk up yet another Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives restaurant built up by hype. I was content to leave, having found a good place to eat, but nothing more. Than I tried my wife's meatball sub. To say that this was the best meatball sub I've ever had wouldn't do it justice. The giant meatballs were laced with garlic and basil, making them so flavorful that they could have made my italian ancestry rise from the grave just to get a taste. The sauce washed over the meat with an incredible taste, marrying the basil, garlic and tomato in a sandwich union unlike anything I've had before. The provolone melted over the top, the fresh baked bun, all of it was incredible. I left Moochie's vowing I would return for both sandwiches, as they were both fantastic. But the Meatball Sub Sandwich will go down as one of the best things I've ever eaten. If you have a love affair with sandwiches as I do, you must check this place out. It should be a mecca for all foodies in between Ogden and Provo. It's well worth your time. Drop this paper, or close the window (however you're reading this) and drive to Salt Lake now for the best sandwich of your life. For more foodie chatter, check me out at algerrish.yelp.com

    I always love a good sandwich and I love Moochie's. It's a real deal sandwich shop: small, slightly worn appearance (though they recently fixed it up a bit), and a friendly but no nonsense staff. Get the Philly; get the Meatball. Honestly, I went in several times meaning to try their Italian Combo, but always end up with a Philly or a Meatball. Jalapeno Sauce is superb as well.

    Just love this place! Was recommended this place by a friend a few years ago and now my husband and I have to go everytime we come to salt lake. We've only ever had the Philly cheese steak and meat ball sandwich because they're just to good to not get when we go there. No other Philly I've had comes close to this place, soooo good! It's super hole-in-the-wall and easy to miss from the street. For how good the food is its worth the price. And it was featured on diners drive-ins and dives from food network a few years ago!

  • Kristin F.

    Moochies should have their "Philly" cheesesteak title stripped. Not really so much a Philly cheesesteak. The bread, meat, and cheese...NOT similar to what a real Philly cheessteak is. If you go, do yourself a favor and get a meatball sub. The meatball sub is the best item on the menu. Also, I don't know if they've changed since I've last been there, but there is barely any seating. It's a very uncomfortable environment because you have to wait for a seat for awhile.

    There isn't too much more to be said about this place. I'll add my vote to everybody else's. Get the cheesesteak. You won't regret it. The only question is how big do you want to go? 6" or 12"? If you are on the fence, go for the gold.

    I have always driven by this place and am not sure why it took so long for me to try. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a little parking lot in the back. It's a strange thing to comment on but since it's on a main street (800 S), it's nice to know I don't have to worry about parallel parking or finding a spot on the street. I was a little thrown off at first because the overhang listed a few food items, but it obviously wasn't the menu. The menus are located next to the cashier himself, so if you're in a line or a first-timer, you won't see it instantly. The space indoors is small with a few tables, but there's an outdoor patio for nicer weather. My husband and I ordered the philly cheese steak and the meatball sandwiches. Both were very tasty and we absolutely loved the amount of gooey cheese in each. The meatballs were giant so you definitely don't feel cheated the way other meatball sandwiches can make you feel. The cheese steak was good and we added mushrooms to ours. My only minor complaint is that it is an extra dollar each to add other items to your sandwich such as mushrooms, bell peppers, lettuce, etc. Not that the sandwich isn't good as is, but it can add up at a dollar a piece. I do appreciate that you can make it a "combo" with 2 sides, but keep in mind that a drink is considered one of those sides. Otherwise, you can pick 2 sides of food. The fries were surprisingly good. We didn't expect anything either way, but they hit the spot particularly with a mix of their fry sauce and jalapeno sauce. Overall, it was a good meal. We ordered two foot long sandwiches and made them combos, which came to about $30. Not a bad deal considering we each only ate half and took the rest home so it really could have fed 4.

  • Andrew S.

    It's appropriate the acronym of the restaurant would be MMM. Because that's what I said as I bit into the great Philly Cheesesteak sandwich here. Someone at work told me about seeing this place on Diner's, Drive-In's and Dive's, and to be honest if it wasn't for that I seriously doubt we would ever have even stumbled on this place, at least not before Yelp! But a group of us decided to go, and I can definitely say for me, I was not disappointed. I've had Philly Cheesesteaks in a number of places, and honestly I don't know what constitutes an authentic one, though I'm told this is pretty much as good as it gets. All I know is it, and the fries I got with it were uber yummy, and that's good enough for me! Yep, it's a dive. But nothing wrong with that. When we went, which was a lunchtime, it was really busy (I'm assuming the TV episode featuring it may have just aired, but maybe it's always that way. I sincerely hope so for the store owners since it's a great little business, and I love to see places like this be succesful. As a result trying to find somewhere to park was a challenge. Also, it's a small establishment and I tend to get a little uncomfortable if I get crowded in by too many people - but enduring that while waiting for the food was well worth it, and they have outside seating which made everything all better once I had my food. I haven't tried the meatball sandwich, since it's in their name I would assume it's good and certainly plan to return to try it out at some point.

    Ordered their signature sandwicheses. 6 inch Authentic Philly Cheesesteak and Moochie's Handmade Meatball. Had better cheesesteak at almost any New York eateries.

    Moochies is absolutely incredible. I came here with the wife and we got one foot long philly and one footlong meatball. I was blown away by both. They were so great. Definitely the best meatball sub i have ever had and the best philly that I have had in my time in Utah. Their jalapeno sauce was great on the philly so I recommend trying that. Try Moochies if you haven't. I don't think you will be disappointed.

  • Zach D.

    Love that they brought authentic philly cheesesteaks and meatballs to Salt Lake. Could do without the Philly attitude. Food was five stars, loses points for service. So, I liked the meatball sandwich I had a few weeks ago, but it was so smothered in marinara that it was a little soggy. I asked the cashier if I could have it unwrapped. You would have thought I asked for free sandwiches for life. She went and got the pit boss guy who gave me a lengthy explanation about why this was totally unacceptable and unreasonable. He even gave me a "seriously?". He reluctantly agreed to do it just this once. Didn't seem like a big deal and something that you shouldn't yell at a paying customer over. Excellent sandwich, need to up the customer service. Not sure when I'll be back.

    I love me some moochie's! Great cheese steaks! (Although I like DP cheese steak more... I think. Okay depends on the day) but this place is great for a quick pick up or sit down if not packed. Saw them on food network a few years ago that's what brought me in!

  • Ryan J.

    Good cheese steaks that are helped out by some seemingly 'utah-centric' sauces, good prices, and decent ambiance. Would be in the regular rotation if I worked in the area. The meatball sandwich is no slouch either. Get a decent parking lot and I expect to see Moochies serving SLC for the long haul.

    I really like this place because the employees are nice and friendly. The first time I stopped in, the dude taking my order was really helpful. The food wasn't as great as it was built up to be. The fries are above average. The sandwiches are okay. The bread is nothing special and sort of decreases the quality of the sandwich. 5 stars for the service. 3 stars for the food. 4 stars overall.

  • Ben E.

    OMG I love this place. I was first introduced to it on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" and thought, "hey a local option, I'll have to check it out." It took a couple of months but finally we went and checked it out. At first I was concerned, the exterior didn't look like much and the interior was quaint but not fancy. Then I got the cheesesteak and was in heaven. I'd been getting down that I hadn't found a good cheesesteak in Utah and this picked me right back up again. My wife got the chicken parm sandwich and it became the only thing she orders there because she likes it so much. If you like cheesesteaks, or sandwich food in general, do yourself a favor and go to Moochie's and see what all the fuss is about!

    Moochie's will melt your sould with their awesome Philly steaks and Meatball sandwiches. Not only they are famous for them, but they truly are a hidden treasure in Salt Lake City. The prices are pretty good, and the place is corky and fun to eat in. The staff is nothing but awesome. I've been there maybe like 7 times, and every time they have treated me really well. The bread they use is really nice, and if you are into sauces they have 2 types of sauces that will make you buy another sandwich just to put more sauce on something. The Jalapeño one is my favorite. Also, I didn't know, but they were featured in a food network show. All in all, the place is cheap, fun, chill, and delicious. Nothing fancy, just chill. Ps. their other sandwiches are really good too, but the philly and meatballs are by far their trademark.

    PRESENTATION: Is awesome, I love old places that has turned into something different. TASTE: I've been here twice and never have been disappointed. I got the philly and their fries. I always end up sharing cause they're really filling. I love eating mine with some jalapeno to give it a little kick of heat and their fries are so crispy and delicious. Their homemade fry sauce is pretty amazing. Good place to grab a nice sandwich. SERVICE: The service is always quick even when it get busy. I love the employees there. VALUE: Its a little pricey I might say for a 12" Philly

We will be back

    I have been back several times in the last 20 days, when I are here for my first time. The meatball sub is very good too . However, there pastrami is probably the worst I have ever had. I threw half of my sandwich away. My advice is to stick with what's popular.

    Another Triple D choice. The sandwiches were good, the bread was great. The potato salad was very different - with lots of sauce & herbs and very few potatoes. Lots of outdoor seating available but little indoor seating when the place is packed. And only one restroom with no paper towels.

    I crave Moochies all the time. At least once a week, I want Moochies. I try not to give in that often since my waistline probably doesn't approve but I just can't get enough. I usually get the Philly cheesesteak but the meatball sub is pretty darn good too. On my cheesesteak, I put grilled mushrooms and a large helping of the jalapeno sauce. Don't be scared of the sqeeze bottle full of creamy sauce. It has delicious flavor though I wish it was spicier. The sandwich is piled so high with meat that I usually have to open it up and eat some of the meat alone or turn it into an open faced sandwich. No matter how you eat it, it satisfies. I have always adored Moochies but when I went to DC and Philadelphia last year, I thought to myself, "I get to try a real cheesesteak!" And can I tell you something? Moochies was just as good as the originals. Really. They have nailed it.

  • Yiching P.

    I've only had Moochie's meatball sandwiches. They are huge and saucy, and the 4 large meatballs (8 halves) per 12-inch sandwich make me and my lunch partner happy, BUT, these days the texture of the hoagie are soggy when I open up the wrapping foil, and the center of the sandwiches really seems too wet. :( My husband has been enjoying their cheesesteak sandwiches and highly recommend them, so I may just have to try them out and update this review soon. With these said, the staff is always friendly and happy, and the seating areas (indoor and out) are always fun. Oh, and there's a bathtub full of plants in the restroom! How cool is that!?

    I've heard a lot about Moochies from my fellow Sketchdining crew members, but I had yet to experience this famous cheesesteak joint until recently. As I have family in Philly, I had probably came in with ridiculously high of expectations for this joint. While Moochies wasn't dead on, they came seriously close. It might be that they were lacking the abrupt nature that the Philly cheesesteak houses have and thus I was missing a bit of the atmosphere, but there was something that made it not quite 5-star. However, the fact that I could get a cheesesteak in Utah made me pretty happy. The service is friendly and accommodating. My friend is a vegetarian and they were happy to help him with an alternative, which I found pretty incredible, considering this place is based around meat. Since it is famous with the underground in Salt Lake (and possibly not-so-underground, since it was featured on Dives and Diners) I would say this is a must hit joint if you're hankering for a big, sloppy sammy in SLC.

    This place is legit. Go for the Philly.. I haven't tried the meatball yet, but I hope to one of these days. The Philly is delicious. It melts in your mouth and is so good. There's just a lot of flavor in these sandwiches! The potato salad is pretty good. Moochies was one the first places I tried when we moved to SLC. We always get good service. We normally don't stay there and eat, because it is small.

    If you time it right, you can get a great sandwich in record time. We were driving through after the Christmas holiday. (Dec.28th) I ordered the philly cheese steak. It was flavorful and had plenty of meat...you can add peppers and onions. It was a delicious sandwich as is. My boyfriend ordered the meatball sandwich. He said it was a great sandwich. We shared bites and the bite of his meatball sandwich I had was quite yummy. The size of the main deli shop isn't that big, but there is overflow seating in the house next door, the bathroom is also located in the house. The fries are pretty good too...but the fry sauce is delicious, so you HAVE to get fries. We were not disappointed and will definitely stop by the next time we're in SLC.

    I am writing this in order to proclaim my heartfelt manifesto about Moochie's Meatballs and More, the best damn sandwich shop in the state of Utah and beyond. Please indulge me. These things have to be said. Moochie's Philly Cheesesteak is the best Cheesesteak in the valley. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Moochie's Meatball sub is a marvelous, meaty mess. And it's better than even your own Italian grandma would make. The Moochie Dog is the most innovative and kick ass hot dog I have ever tasted. I implore you to try this marvelous frank. The bread... this most blessed of wraps... that which holds all the goodness in any Moochie sandwich is, in a word . . . perfect. Fries are really good too; crisp and golden. The place has a great feel, and the service is uniformly friendly. The employees seem genuinely committed and loyal to the business. Then there is the Jalapeno sauce, free pepper bar, specialty sodas, and tons of napkins. Am I in heaven? I do have a few gripes. The lasagna is a disappointment. Stay away from it. I also don't dig Moochie's inexplicably popular potato salad. Way too much dill for me. A classic mayo and mustard based, chunky potato salad would work much better with their subs. I've tried some of their other sandwiches, which simply don't hold their own against the cheesesteak, meatball sub, and Moochie Dog. Also, it's odd to get a Reuben sandwich on a sub roll instead rye bread. I'll never again stray too far off the main menu. Nevertheless, there is no more debate. Moochie's is the number one, best of the best, top of the heap sandwich shop in our state. The Cheesesteak alone merits the five stars. Period. Done. End of story.

    Moochie's already has a well-known reputation for their delectable sandwiches, with which I concur. Highlights: Cheesesteak (no modifications) Pennsylvania Birch Beer Fries! They have excellent fries, and fry sauce. Things to be improved: Adding beer to the menu, or at least let me bring beer STAY OPEN LATER

    This place has amazing food, but only one bathroom.

    100% over rated! It's a good sandwich, but it would be better if you had bread options. The bread that I had on the meatball as well as the Philly was day old & very tough. The meat and peppers were very nicely done, but the key to a good sandwich is the bread. Maybe they have gotten better, but I will not make a return! Try Joni's on 1700 just west of state!

    I recently visited Moochie's Meatballs as I was in need of a taste of home. I have heard that they have some pretty amazing cheesesteaks in this little joint and after a week back in Salt Lake City, I was already yearning for a change of scenery or at the very least, something that would whisk me away, Calgon style. I checked out their website, which is awful by the way, and some of the Yelp reviews and decided to venture out. Upon arriving, I instantly realized that I timed my visit very badly. The parking was terrible and when I walked in the place, it was packed. Even the "overflow" dining, which is a awkward addition to the already crappy interior, was packed. The thing about this place is that they are trying to be a hipster cool steak shop but it comes off as a little dingy and way too cramped. Granted, I arrived at noon or thereabout but the line and the people packed into this little place was mind boggling. That being said, the wait to place my order was surprisingly quick. Some woman screamed out, "I can help the next person" at a decibel level that would make a train horn jealous and so I hurried to the counter. In true Philly fashion, she pretty much treated me like I was a bum as I placed my order. Now I know Philly cheesesteak joints can be pretty intimidating, but at least they have menus. This place had a whiteboard with some Sanskrit on it that was hardly discernible as to what they were offering and how much it cost. As a result, I just blurted out, "I'll take a cheesesteak." She asked what size and I chose a large. Not being here before, and not seeing many options, I asked he what kind of cheese they used. She replied, "American." Alright, let's take a moment to pause here. While I get it that American can be an option, most people would agree that it's either Cheese Whiz or provolone that goes on the genuine article. So, in my most polite demeanor, I inquired of this "lady", "do you have provolone?" She said in reply, "Do you want provolone?" to which I answered, "why would I ask you if you have provolone if I didn't want provolone on my cheesesteak?" Alright folks, I get it. She was trying to cut to the chase but give me a friggin' break. She doesn't live in Philly, probably wasn't from Philly, wasn't hot enough to cop that kind of attitude with me. Phew. That said, I got the f-in provolone. Oh, and for a large cheesesteak and a soda . . . $15. That is pretty spendy for a place in the middle of a state whose only contribution to the world is salt. So, I paid my money and gave the "lady" behind the counter my name and move onto get my beverage. To my surprise, they had PA Dutch Birch Beer. Now that was a pleasant shock. Kudos to you Moochie's. After a rather short wait, I heard my name called out and was presented with my cheesesteak. Grabbing said CS, I retreated to the accouterments section of the establishment and grabbed some ketchup. Then taking my loot, I searched for a seat. Ahhhh, lunch time. With nary a seat in the place, I was forced to sit outside in the 35 degree UT weather. Not that big of a deal. It was noon after all. I ripped open my CS and found what appeared to be a pretty good looking item. The cheese could have been a little more melted and I would have liked a little more of it, but all in all, things didn't look so bad. The meat was not the high quality stuff you will find at Jim's on South Street, nor what you would find at Frank's in Bozeman MT but it was ok I suppose. It was pretty bland however. I was forced to load up on the ketchup and even dove into the banana peppers for a little added zest. Don't get me wrong, the food was ok but calling this place an authentic Philly experience would be a stretch. The standout, however, was the roll. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, it was quite good. Not sure where they get them, but nice job guys. So, all in all, if you desperately need a Philly CS, this place should suffice, as long as you don't go around 12 and as long as you can deal with the service which was a little aloof and, quite frankly, a bit rude.

    Food is great - several visits later - please get friendlier cashiers!! Also the cheese on the philly is gross, tastes like the super processed kind. Get it without and it's WAY better.

    OMG the meatball sandwich!! I have always tried the philly here which is great. I'm not a huge fan of phillies, in general, because I don't like onions and peppers but Moochies is great for phillies. But...I had no idea about the meatball sandwich!! I tried it 2 days ago and have been craving that delectable sandwich ever since. I LOVE meatball sandwiches and this one is seriously the best I have ever had! I'm definitely going back. In fact, it might have to be a weekly occurrence!!

    How could a spikey, died-hair guy that wears arm bands be wrong?? We gave the Mooch a try and were very happy with the whole experience. The building has just enough "dive" going on that you don't feel quite so bad dripping sauce down the front of your tank top. All of the eco-friendly reminders around the place also make you feel so damned guilty that you end up wiping the rest on your pant legs. Eating the meatball sub, I left the place looking like a butcher after a long day. Speaking of the meatball sub, it = win. I ordered the 6" and was glad I didn't go bigger for fear of totally stuffing myself. The bread was crusty on the outside and mooshy on the inside making it perfect. I partnered my sammich with the sweet potatoe fries and loved the combo. Good stuff. My better half ordered the Philly loaded with 'shrooms. I didn't get to taste it because a.) I hate mushrooms and b.) it was loaded with them. Judging from the chipmunk cheeks and puddle of stuff dripping out of the sandwich, hers was good too. Mrs. B. ordered the regular fries and they went very well with the Jalepeno sauce offerred up around the place. The only criticism I have is all of the eco-reminders and stickers. Yeah, one planet... I get it. Now go get me another SAMMICH!!

    Yum! Best Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches! I always get the philly, sweet potato fries and jalapeño sauce. Yum! Sometimes I put a little jalapeño sauce on the sandwich but not all the time. Even my 3 yr old who is a picky eater loves the philly.

    There's nothing like a moochies sandwich and a big glass of red wine to end a long day. This place is awesome! I recommend the meatball sub and the cheese steak...yum yum!

    These are the best philly cheesesteak sandwiches I've ever had! I don't know what magic they put into them but I've never had another compare to this! Their atomic jalapeno sauce is so yummy, I could practically drink it. The seating inside leaves a little to be desired but the sandwiches are so good you could just stand and eat them or pig out in your car!

    Ended up hearing about Mootchie's on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. I was really excited to try this. Went yesterday with a good friend. I had the 12" Meatball Sub with a homemade brownie and she had the 6" Philly Cheesesteak Sub, Tomato Basil Bisque Soup and a Chocolate Tastykake. The staff was extremely friendly, hard working and eager to please. When we arrived it was rather busy but within minutes we were helped, had our food and were digging in. In between the rushes of customers every one of the employees were cleaning and re stocking. Even the Coke machines were calibrated perfectly!! I cannot say enough positive things regarding this Diner. Very clean. Very friendly. Excellent food for a good price. We will definitely return.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
