Arctic Circle

Don’t forget to use «Fry Sauce.» It’s really good. If you use it, you cannot go back to just «Ketchup» anymore. Burger is tasty. I love halibut too. It’s too sad there is no Arctic Circle in California. I’ll definitely visit the restaurant again.

So, my husband and I were in town for the week visiting from California. We saw Arcitic Circle restaurants everywhere and on our last night in the area decided to try one. It was cute and kitchy and the space theme appealed to us. My husband ordered a special they were running, we think it was called the Pluto Burger (?). It was OK. I had a corn dog. It was sadly, not OK. Quite possibly it was the worst corn dog I have eaten in my long years of consuming corn dogs. It was mushy, and chewy, the texture wasn’t right at all. We both also had French fries, which were an unusual yellow color, but tasted ok. I don’t think we will try another Arctic Circle.

Chocolate peanut butter banana shake was ok. Banana flavoring as opposed to real bananas, and they only have peanut butter cups, instead of regular peanut butter.
Next time, I’ll just stick to a small chocolate ice cream cone.

It’s a fast food joint. Nothing too special. Burger was good, as were the frys. The reason this review is only two stars is the sub par staff. The entire time I was there they were gossiping and complaining about other employees, not a good atmosphere at all.

Its fast food. For what it is, it is decent. When I am craving ice cream and only have loose change, I will come here for a chocolate topper. Ben & Jerry’s it ain’t but it will do in a pinch.

Arctic Circle may have burgers and other food but I go here for the deserts and they never disappointment. On a hot summer day or after a rough day at work there is nothing better than getting a twist ice cream cone at Arctic Circle! Their soft serve ice cream is simply delicious. Feeling even more indulgent? Order some fries or get a milk shake. While their burgers are passable for me Arctic Circle is best for desserts. Service at this location was fast and the staff was friendly, even coming around and asking everyone how their meal was while they ate. It was a nice touch.

Based on looks alone this place seems to say «stay away» and I should have listened. I tried this Artic Circle on two separate occasions the last few week, both times I used the drive through. The service is VERY slow.
Trip number one there were about 3 cars ahead of me and it took 13 to 15 minutes just to get to the window. Once at the window it took them close to 3 minutes to get me 2 ice cream cones. That’s all 2 ice cream cones from their machine. The service was horrible, no apology for the delay, and the employees looked sloppy.
Trip number two there were also 3 cars ahead of me and it took 10 minutes to get to the window from the time I found my place at the end of the line. I ordered one shake, that’s all. I got to the window and waited for 90 seconds and was then asked to park and wait. About 2 minutes later an employee came to my parked vehicle and handed me my shake without a word. The employees again were sloppy looking and were horrible at customer service.
These experiences are typical for me at Artic Circle. I have been to various Artic Circles throughout the years and never have I been impressed with their food or their service. Their ice cream shakes are good but overpriced. The burgers and fries don’t even look good in their pictures so I have never bothered to order anything other than a shake or malt.
There is so many obvious things that the management and ownership good to to improve the overall Artic Circle experience you can only believe that they just don’t care enough to even bother. They make some money and that’s all they seem to care about. Next time I think I’ll make my own shake.

Fry sauce. That’s what I think of when I think of Arctic Circle. That creamy pink ambrosia pumped from a farting spigot. Fry sauce.
For those visiting from out of state or others who have not yet been initiated into this Utah tradition, fry sauce a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise, and other secret ingredients. Separate they have their place, but when combined these elements take on mythical powers that can conquer nations. Or at least smother any kind of food you can think of cramming into your mouth.
Fry sauce and Arctic Circle are interwoven in my mind. Arctic Circle is where I first tried fry sauce and this Utah-​based fast food chain lays claim to inventing the stuff, but I actually believe it was delivered by Hermes, messenger of the Gods, as a gift from Zeus himself. That, or some drunk guy got creative with condiments. Either way, it’s a legend. It has its own Facebook page. ITS OWN FACEBOOK PAGE people!
There’s lots to smother fry sauce on at Arctic Circle. Their burgers are cheap and decent, and range from the simple burger or cheeseburger all the way to a Black Angus Pastrami ‘n Swiss with lots of sizes and add-​ons in between. Their fries are golden and crispy, and they also offer halibut and chicken in the form of strip or sandwiches, both fried to golden goodness. For the healthy eater, there are a couple of options on he salad menu, or you can divert your chicken from the fryer and instead have it grilled.
Then dessert. This is it. My go-​to shake joint. It’s never the absolute supreme best shake I’ve ever had, but it’s consistently good and way too convenient. I decided a long time ago that no matter what kind of shake I order, I’m always disappointed if it’s not chocolate-​banana. Arctic Circle’s chocolate-​banana is just how I like it – vanilla ice cream with the chocolate syrup and cut up fresh banana beat around and served heaping over the top of the cup. It’s the only kind I ever order, but there are dozens of flavors to choose from. In addition to shakes they have ice cream cones, sundaes, and a dip cone. Dipped in chocolate, not fry sauce.
This particular location has table and booth seating, with the added bonus of a couple of saddle seats. These are tables where, instead of a chair, you’ll find a leather saddle for little kids or really hyper high schoolers to sit in. There’s also a nifty indoor playground, so double win for the kiddies. Drive-​thru service offered.
One final thought. I’m not totally in love with the fry sauce myself, but many a man has been known to crave it like a drug. So if it’s late at night, and Arctic Circle is closed, may I offer you four words that will surely soothe any soul fraught with a fiery desire for Arctic Circle’s fry sauce: Now Sold in bottles.

This place is great. Good fast food burgers and GREAT customer service. I was really impressed with the service and the quality of the food. The fries are golden yellow and best enjoyed with Fry Sauce direct from a pump!
