Unique restaurant opens to warm reception

When Rick Salisbury chose Lehi as the location for his second Strap Tank Brewery, he had hope it would be well received by residents.

“With the growth in Lehi, I just thought it would be a great place, and actually there was no other sit-down restaurant in that location,” Salisbury said. “I thought it would be a great place close to the Point of the Mountain, so I thought I would draw business from Salt Lake and north Utah County.”

Housed in a unique brick, retro-style building at 3661 N. Outlet Parkway, the restaurant is perched on a bluff looking over Lehi and the Silicon Slopes area. It opened in August of 2019 and immediately was a hit.

“We actually did so much business up there that we couldn’t keep up with the new staff,” Salisbury said. “It was just overwhelming.”

The Lehi Strap Tank is similar in design and menu to Salisbury’s first Strap Tank location in Springville. It is also the second craft beer brewery to open in Utah County, the first being the Springville Strap Tank.

The name comes from the Strap Tank model number 2037 motorcycle that rolled off the Harley-Davidson assembly line in 1907. Today, a Strap Tank motorcycle considered the best unrestored example of the Strap Tank model is on display at Salisbury’s Legends Motorcycles, a museum of vintage motorcycles located next to the Springville Strap Tank Brewery.

Inside the Lehi location is a rustic and fun atmosphere that Salisbury said was designed to be family friendly. The menu features specialty burgers, sandwiches, pizza and salads. It also includes meal selections for children and combo dinners designed to feed a family of four.

The Strap Tank creates a variety of craft beers including mainstays that are always available and new and seasonal brews that are rotated on and off the menu. Handcrafted root beer is also available.
