Where to Eat
Spring City is a town of about 1,000 people with exactly two restaurants - and both are genuinely worth planning a meal around.
Grill
Roots 89 Grill
Set inside a roughly 100-year-old former soda fountain and mercantile building on Historic Highway 89, Roots 89 Grill is a family-owned burger shack doing everything fresh and made-to-order - handcrafted burgers, hand-cut fries, milkshakes, and garlic cheese curds locals call a must-try. It was voted #1 Burger and Fry in Sanpete County for 2025. Dine in, drive up, or order ahead online; catering available.
"Awesome burgers! Very fresh ingredients, even in winter... the fries were great and the service was very good." - Tripadvisor review
Café
Das Café
Founded in 2011 by sisters Caroline Lott and Katy Harmer, whose parents Gerold and Christa Schroeder immigrated from East Germany in 1981, Das Café serves genuinely authentic German food out of a warm, homelike space filled with local artwork. Standouts include bratwurst with sauerkraut, kraut burgers, schnitzel, a well-loved reuben, hearty breakfast omelettes, and a carrot cake regulars call the best they've had.
"Best carrot cake I've ever had. Light, moist, great flavor." - Tripadvisor review
Eating well in a very small town
With only two restaurants in Spring City itself, plan meals around their hours - both close by mid-evening, and Das Café is a breakfast-and-lunch spot only. For dinner beyond 8–9pm, or more options, nearby Ephraim and Mount Pleasant have a wider range of restaurants a short drive away.
