Riverton’s dining scene is about to get greener. Flower Child, a fast-casual restaurant featuring vibrant, healthy menu options, is scheduled to open at Mountain View Village in early 2026. Following the success of the restaurant on Foothill Drive in Salt Lake City, this will be the chain’s second location in Utah.
Created by Sam Fox, an 11-time James Beard Award-nominated restaurateur, Flower Child has gained a following throughout the country, with locations in 15 states. Fox believes the new site fits the restaurant’s brand and Riverton’s vibe.
“We’ve seen firsthand how much Utah values an active, outdoor lifestyle, and Riverton was a natural next step for Flower Child,” he said.
The 3,700-square-foot restaurant, located at 4422 W. Tree Sparrow Drive, will feature a patio, Flower Child’s bright design and open-kitchen format, and a welcoming space for dining. Guests can order in-store or through the Flower Child app with curbside pickup and delivery options.
Since its inception, the brand has been dedicated to creating made-from-scratch meals, using high-quality and healthy ingredients, with a menu that caters to all dietary lifestyles. Guests can choose from customizable salads, bowls and wraps, using a variety of protein options, veggies, grains and fruit.
Fan-favorite dishes include the gluten-free mac and cheese with aged white cheddar and parmesan; the chicken enchiladas with guajillo chile, smoked gouda, poblano cream, organic black beans, roasted corn and avocado; the Mother Earth Bowl with ancient grains, sweet potato, portobello mushroom, avocado, cucumber, broccoli pesto, charred onion, leafy greens, red pepper miso vinaigrette and hemp seed; and the Flying Avocado Wrap with smoked turkey, gouda, romaine, tomato and avocado hummus.
Plus, all the desserts are gluten-free, including the chocolate chip cashew chicken, the double-chocolate almond brownie and the lemon olive oil cake.
For those following vegetarian, gluten-free or vegan diets, Flower Child’s extensive options make it easy to find something to fit each requirement.
“Our goal has always been to create a place where everyone — whether they’re fresh off the trails, gathering with family, or simply looking for a meal or dessert that makes them feel good — can enjoy food that is wholesome, yet full of flavor,” Fox said.
Flower Child’s loyalty program offers points for every $1 spent that can be redeemed for rewards. Loyalty members also receive birthday treats and special offers. Catering is available for group or corporate events.
