I was really looking forward to trying this place. I had only heard good things, great garlic burger and cheap beer. We must have gotten the waiter and bartender on a bad day, because they were rude, unhelpful, and overly blunt about the questions I had. When we first walked in, I was taken by surprise that you are allowed to walk through the kitchen to get to the dining area/bar. This grossed me out to start with because there was an older gentleman leaning on the wall by the grill talking to the guy cooking stuff. The older gentleman clearly did not work there and had no gloves, apron, ect. When we walked in, we had just come down from Brighton, and walked in with our water bottles, which we didnt know werent allowed in the restaurant, at least until the "waiter/bartender (whatever he was)" rudely and bluntly said "Cant have that in here, out!" For never having been here we found this extremely off-putting. He could have phrased this a lot differently and not with such a rude tone. So he walked outside and threw them in the car. While he was dropping them in the car, the guy had the nerve to walk up to the bartender chick to tell her "that guy has a bad attitude, lets see if he gets the same treatment." Mind you, my buddy grabbed the bottles and turned around and walked out, he never made a comment let alone say something to the guy. All of this was while I was sitting at the end of the bar, which is about 10 feet long, I could obviously hear him talking to the chick behind the bar. After waiting for him to come back in, I asked the bartender chick for a menu. She pointed behind her, didnt say a word, while peering at me. The menu is posted on the wall, behind the sign or TV whatever it was. There are about 8 items on the menu. No listing of sides, no listings of beer choices, just the main sandwiches/burgers they serve. Not seeing any sides, "are the burgers sold a la carte or do I order fries with the burger?" She replies "you clearly havent been here before, we dont have fries." So I reply "so you sell your garlic burger for 8 dollars, with no sides?" She replies, "no we have chips." By this point I was so overly astonished by the service here, I grabbed my stuff and walked out. While walking out the guy says "hey, bud, you cant leave if you havent paid for your stuff." I didnt order anything, I was in this place for about 5 minutes before I realized that this guy was going to mess with our food. The guy, wearing a backwards hat with a bunch of tattoos on his arms. Save your money and time, go to Lucky 13. The burgers are great, and the service is on par with the best. No need to waste your time going to this place. If this were my restaurant I would fire these two and close if I had to while I train other people. The service at this place is absolutely terrible. I will never eat here, and I will tell all of my friends and family to do the same.

I have been going to the Rotten Bottom Inn for over 20 years until now. Way under staffed and over priced. This place will treat you like crap! The owner only hires his looser kids that cant find a job anywhere else...They are rude and slower than a seven year itch. I gave this place several chances over the past years and I still get treated like crap. This summer I finally couldnt take it anymore. The food is good if you can get someone to take your order. The cooks are totally rude. One of the cooks is the rudest person. She smokes like a chimney and chews tobacco as well...NICE The bathrooms are worse than an outhouse and the flies outside in the summer are unbearable. The patio tables have years of stuff (goo, slime, mustard, ketchup, etc) on them from poor cleaning skills They have plenty of regulars (idiots) that keep this cash cow going. So the owner doesnt care if you like it or not, he still gets his dough. There are plenty of great places to substitute this vial place for that are close by. The Porcupine Pub Mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon (GREAT) The Canyon Inn next to the Porcupine The Hogs Wallow just around the corner from the Rotten Bottom When your out of town (or not) you want to have a good experience, not get treated like your a leper....Spend your hard earned money somewhere else. Take it from someone who knows........Its not worth the torture! I would give it a quarter star but it wont go that low. I can see that they are trying to save their crap reviews by posting their own good reviews. Nice try Rotten bottom crew..........................Your place sucks!

Worst place to eat, we use to come here after every time snowboarding but never again, we got cussed out and called all sorts of names by the owner because they decided to close at 7 on a saturday and we voiced out disgust. It was so rediculous he followed us outside after we walked out, while cussing at us trying to start a fight untill we accepted the invitation then he closed the door and kept yelling at us like its somehow our fault they ran one of the best resturants in state into the ground. If you want a good garlic burger go to lucky 13, where the staff actually treat you like a person instead of a dollar sign P.S. Notice the good reviews here have no detail and bad reviews tell the truth in detail

Former regular. After my run in with the owner today 6/9/15 he motivated me to write this review. This place was great until the grease that owns it now took over. None of the employees including the owner have any respect for customers or current liquor laws. The place is filthy and its clear nobody cares. The once famous garlic burgers are not what they used to be. There is nothing to them anymore they are smaller with less meat and cheese. The kitchen is disgusting. You will see it on your left as you walk in. They are not interested in doing anything but selling watered down beer. Im a 3rd generation customer. The place should have closed when it sold. If I could give it no stars I would.

VOMIT. That is what I smelled when I first walked in. Maybe a hint of garlic. The old man I sat next to had maybe peed his pants, because it smelled like urine also. Seem likes a bunch of old neighborhood drunks that go there everyday. The owner was nothing short of rude. The waitresses looked like burned out hookers. Some with teeth missing. For a neighborhood that seems fairly affluent with a nice restaurant next door; you would think you were in inner city slums. So if you want a horrible experience with food or beverage, go here. At least it is entertaining comedy. Youll have never have seen a lower iq average in one setting.

The Bottom is a classic dive neighborhood bar thats been around forever. The atmosphere is way casual so dont go in expecting over the top service. When it gets busy here just use a little patience. They put out a great burger and lots of friendly locals visit. Try to get here before 8 pm because closing time is always at the whim of whoever is working and its seldom consistent. It seems by 9 pm though they toss in the towel. Locals have become accustomed to that and you dont see as many show up later in the evening any more. That part is unfortunate because they have a great little patio for the warm summer evenings.
