Here in Southern Utah, especially in St. George, it feels like we've been getting A TON of new restaurants. I'll never complain about getting a new place to eat here in town. Most of these places are local based restaurants, like Chubby's and Cubby's. But what about some BIG national chains here in Southern Utah? I can think of a few I'd love to have!

Here are some of the TOP 5 Chain Restaurants that we NEED here in Southern Utah:

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers:

This one will happen soon, I can feel it! Cane's is all over Southern Utah, and Las Vegas! They're surrounding us. They've got great, juicy chicken fingers, Texas Toast, and an awesome sauce called Cane's Sauce. Give it a couple years, and I bet we'll have a location or two here.

Shake Shack:

Shake Shack is one of the TOP chain restaurants in America for that reason... It's really shocking we don't have one here yet! Shake Shack is known for their burgers, fries, hot dogs, and of course... Their shakes! Like Cane's, they're surrounding us! Northern Utah has 5 locations, while Vegas has 7 locations!

P.F. Chang's:

One of the top requested food styles in Southern Utah is CHINESE! We've only got a couple places to get some good Chinese food, so P.F. Chang's makes huge sense! Once again, they're all over Northern Utah, and Las Vegas. Southern Utah would LOVE some P.F. Chang's Chinese food in Southern Utah!

Cheesecake Factory:

This has got to be the MOST REQUESTED restaurant for Southern Utah. Cheesecake Factory! It's not only Cheesecake though, they've also got TONS of other food too. My favorite is their pasta! There's been tons of rumors saying we'll never get one here, based on our population. However, smaller markets than us have themselves a Cheesecake Factory, so I don't buy that. We'll have one eventually... But I want it now!

Taco John's:

This may be a place you've never heard of before, but it's AWESOME! When I lived in Minnesota, I would eat Taco John's ALL THE TIME! It started out as a small taco restaurant in Wyoming and has grown all over the country. A few years ago, Utah got it's first and only Taco John's location just off I-15 in Fillmore.
