As a land-locked state far from the ocean, you might think it would be impossible to find fresh seafood here in the Beehive State. Nothing could be further from the truth! Market Street Grill has been a Utah icon for nearly 40 years, and it flies in seafood fresh every day.

Welcome to Market Street Grill! This Utah restaurant has three locations: downtown Salt Lake City, South Jordan, and Cottonwood (shown here).
