One of northern Utah's most beloved restaurants is remaining open despite the threat of flooding from the creek right next door.
Emigration Creek overflowed its banks over the weekend, but that didn't stop patrons from lining up Monday morning to get their favorites at Ruth's Diner, an historic business that's seen more than one flood along the nearby creek.
The restaurant is ready for rising waters with staff filling sandbags to try to protect patio seating, kitchen and the diner itself. Ruth's Diner remains open through the flooding threats and they plan to stay that way. They are concerned about having to close the lower part of the patio where they often seat large parties like for the always-busy Mother's Day holiday, but McIver says they will find a way to make it work.
