2016

Readers’ top picks announced
H
ere they are, the businesses, services, medical
practitioners and recreation locations in Davis
County that you, our Clipper readers, chose as your favorites.
In celebration of our 125th year of publication, we’re
introducing a number of new ideas at the Clipper, starting with our first-ever (and becoming annual) Best of
Davis program.
For several weeks in January and February, we
printed a ballot in our editions giving readers a chance
to vote for their favorite spots for Davis County food and
drink; recreating with hiking, biking, bowling and more;
services for both the inside and outside of the home, and
health-care providers. Readers designated their choices,
then mailed their ballots back to the Clipper offices.
The response was overwhelming! Hundreds of ballots
were sent to us, along with many positive comments such as “This was
a lot of fun,” “Great to recognize our local businesses,” “Will you be
doing this every year?” (the answer is yes), and “Have you ever considered a category for (several ideas suggested).” We are thrilled at
the response and happy to provide the list of YOUR choices of YOUR
favorites in this special publication in this week’s Davis Clipper.
So check to see if your favorites were the top vote-getters, visit these
businesses if you haven’t before, and plan now for our 2017 contest
that we’ll start next January.
After 125 years of serving the residents of Davis County, we’re
happy to help promote our readers’ choices for Best of Davis 2016.
Enjoy.

B E S T I TA L I A N
Robintino’s
1385 South 500 West, Btfl
801-298-1515
robintinospizzautah.com
BOUNTIFUL—“Italian Spice at a Family
Price.” That’s been the slogan for Robintino’s
since the restaurant first opened its doors in
1964. For more than five decades, loyal
customers have come to what has truly become
the gathering place in Bountiful for great Italian
food and so much more.
Today, you’ll find manager Rob McCall still
making the eatery’s famous pizzas the old fashioned way—with hand-tossed dough rolled,
layered with tasty ingredients and cooked to
perfection. No wonder Robintino’s won two
categories in this year’s Best of Davis—Best Ital-
ian and Best Pizza.
The restaurant actually outgrew two locations. Originally, it opened in a small portion of
the area that now houses the Mandarin. It was
later located off 500 West, and when Bratten’s
Cove closed, Robintino’s moved to its long-time
location on 500 West, right across the street
from the Davis Clipper.
Recipes from owner Bob McCall for the
soups, salad dressings, sauces and pizza
dough are still the ones used every day—time
honored and appreciated by generations of
patrons. Savor the lasagna—three-layered
dishes with four cheeses, ground beef and
sauce. The freshly sliced bread with Robintino’s
famous garlic spread, the minestrone soup and
myriad of pizza combinations and options
make dining at Robintino’s a delicious tradition.
The restaurant is open six days a week for
lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. Come
watch Rob toss his pizza dough. Italian the
way it should be prepared and baked. Call
801-298-1515.

Customer service the
key to being ‘best’
As you read through the
list of businesses that have
been voted Best of Davis
2016, you’ll find a wide variety of services and goods
they provide—but each has
one thing in common. They
excel at customer service.
Nothing is more important
than that in business success.
No matter what your business offers in terms of product or services, the way you
deal with customers will
largely dictate how they
deal with and think of you.
There are some basic rules
any business should follow
to make that happen.
It starts with your employees.
They should exhibit skills of empathy, patience and consistency. They
should be adaptable to different
situations, and since all customers
are different, your employees will
very likely need to adapt. Make
sure communication is clear—that
they can convey to customers exactly what you and your business
means for them to understand. Use
positive language, stay cheerful
no matter what and never end a
conversation without confirming
the customer is satisfied.
Look at every touchpoint. A bad
customer experience can ruin a relationship forever, so be sure your
staff pays attention to key points of
the customer’s experience. Address
those.
Interact with customers—engage
in conversations when appropriate and, if the conversation goes
in that direction, discuss shared
interests or experiences. In the
food industry, how often have you
as a consumer asked your waiter
or waitress, “What’s good on the
menu?” Customers appreciate honesty, so don’t give them an answer
like, “It’s all good” or “Everyone
likes this product.” Speak from
experience and add your personal
feelings.
Practice proactive strategies—
maybe even play-acting with staff
in advance of opening your store.
Practice different scenarios so your
team is prepared for any eventuality.
Stay engaged—you never want
customers to feel you’ve “checked
out” of a conversation or interaction. This also means that as a
business owner or supervisor, you
should stay engaged with your
staff. Make sure they feel valued
and have some upward mobility if
they desire it.
And finally, get customer feedback, either through end-of-sale
conversation, a suggestion box, an
online survey, or all of the above.
If customers feel that connection, they’ll want to continue their
relationship with your business. It’s
known as having “repeat customers.” They’re the best kind to have!

BOUNTIFUL—The father-
daughter team at Bountiful’s Mandarin restaurant has been serving
great Chinese cuisine for more
than three decades. In business,
like in sports, teamwork is everything. They’ve proven to be the
winning combination that helped
Mandarin win Best Chinese and
Best Asian in this year’s Best of
Davis.
Co-owners Gregory Skedros
and his daughter Angel Skedros
Manfredini and their team bring
customers in from throughout Utah,
and in fact, throughout the west.
Mandarin has received awards
from numerous dining publications
and organizations through the
years, has been listed among the
Top 100 Chinese restaurants in the
country, and was voted one of the
top 25 restaurants in America by
Treasure Leisure in 2013.
“I watched the work ethic of my
father for many years,” she said.
“I used to ride my bike through
the restaurant when I was a child.
I saw how Dad was meticulous in
making sure everything was just
right. I’ve never worked anywhere
else.”
Gregory is 87, and he’s in the
restaurant six days a week “from
the time we open the doors in the
kitchen each morning until we
close each night,” Angel said. He
owned a pharmacy on the corner
next to the restaurant, which is
located at 900 North 400 East.
Angel said her father had originally planned on opening a GreekItalian restaurant at that location,
but a partnership never happened.
When a Chinese family moved
to Bountiful at about the same time
and befriended the Skedros family,
the new plan developed.
“It was just happenstance,”
Angel said. “He had no knowln see

HVAC—Making your home more comfortable
B E S T H VA C S E R V I C E
HVAC Construction
624 West 900 North, NSL, Utah 84054
801-298-4822
www.hvacinutah.com
NORTH SALT LAKE--It’s a
credit to any business when they
enjoy longevity with both customers and their employees. HVAC
Construction has that distinction,
something earned over the past
30 years. Owners Lee and Jodi
Hugoe have thousands of satisfied customers who’ve turned to
them for their heating and air
conditioning needs.
HVAC Construction can provide just about anything to make
your home more comfortable—
furnaces, air conditioning systems, humidifiers, air purifiers,
and much more.
“We’re a true family business,” said Jodi,
whose two daughters have joined with their
parents as part of the team. “We pride ourselves in how we take care of our customers, treating them the way we’d want to be
treated, and we have a great staff, many of
whom have been with us for many years.”
HVAC started in a small shop in Bountiful,
“without heating in the cold winters or cooling in the hot summers,” Lee recalled. The
business continued to grow, then moved to
its current location at 624 W. 900 North in
North Salt Lake in 2001, when the Hugoes
bought the property and constructed their
building. The company specializes in new
residential construction, improvements to
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION HAS EARNEd HVAC Construction the Best of Davis award for HVAC service.
existing homes, and with small to medium
commercial properties. Service, replacement and add-ons can all be handled by
HVAC’s capable staff.
“We fabricate and make everything we
install,” Jodi said. “We can custom make
whatever a customer needs, and we’ve built
a good relationship with many contractors.”
No one likes to hear that their heating or
cooling system needs to be replaced, and
Hugoe says HVAC doesn’t try to sell customers something they don’t need.
“Many times, systems don’t need replacement, only repairs,” she said. “We diagnose the problem and never try to upsell
someone. It’s one reason why we’re great
for second opinions—when you want a
second quote.”
She said that even in a crisis situation,
HVAC Construction can often save customers a lot of money to get that second opinion. Often, a system just needs a cleaning
or tune up, not a full replacement. HVAC
also offers maintenance contracts to customers, and can help clients fill out forms for

rebates from manufacturers or utility companies.
“We’re truly dedicated to providing the
best possible service to our customers,” Jodi
added. “If someone is getting an income
tax refund, that’s also a good time to look
at upgrading their systems.”
They are a factory-authorized dealer for
Carrier systems, one of only four in Utah.
They also sell and install other brands, and
can service all makes and models.
Hugoe said springtime is the right time
to do a check on your AC system, and of
course fall the logical time to look at heating systems.
“You can count on us to provide you with
a system and solution that fits your family’s
unique needs and since we’ve installed
many systems in this area, we’ve earned a
reputation for doing the job right the first
time. We provide quick, professional service and complete service plans to keep
your systems operating at peak efficiency.
It’s all part of our tradition of service–assuring your complete satisfaction.”

South Fork Hardware
1075 N 500 E, North Salt Lake
801-383-3838
southforkhw.com
BOUNTIFUL—It wasn’t Cam
Sidwell’s original idea when he
purchased a small property in
Huntsville years ago where a
hardware store sat—essentially
half empty. But look at where
that purchase has led.
Today, he owns and operates 17 South
Fork Hardware stores, including the store at
1075 North 500 East in North Salt Lake.
He acquired that location when ACE Hardware went out of business, and it was a
store Cam in particular wanted because he
was raised a half mile away from it.
“It was like coming home,” Cam said.
“I used to run around and cause trouble in
that area 45 years ago. They used to build
campers in that spot. That’s one reason we
really wanted this store.”
Since he started South Fork Hardware in
Huntsville in 2004, the business has steadily
grown, due in large measure to Cam’s business philosophy.
“We’re totally independent, probably
the largest group of independent hardware
stores in the western United States,” he
said. That means he buys from a variety of
suppliers, ensuring getting the best products
available. “Everything in our store is all national brand, top of the line. We are quality,
quality, quality. I can’t stress that enough.”
Go to South Fork Hardware and you’ll
see customer service the way it used to
be—friendly, neighborly and knowledgeable employees who “are your home’s best
friend,” as Cam said. “People come in with
part of the largest independent hardware store family in the country, South Fork Hardware has everything your
home and garden need.

a problem or situation, and we help them
find a solution. Most people don’t realize
how easy it can be to fix things or solve
problems in their homes.”
It really comes down to the nuts and
bolts—figurative and literally. And you’ll
not find a larger selection of nuts and bolts
at any other hardware store. Plus, you can
get the right ones for your project, because,
Cam said, “I have a problem with people
buying stuff they don’t need.”
He also love plants. Cam graduated from
Weber State in integrated studies, and one
of those disciplines was botony.
“I really understand lawns and gardens,”
he said. “If you don’t use the right products
on the right plants, you can make a big
disaster really fast. So my staff of full-time
employees are trained to help any gardener. It’s great for customers to have the
confidence of knowing that when they walk
into our stores, they’re going to get sound
advice and help.”
South Fork Hardware is open Monday
through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Stop in and say hello to Cody, the store
manager. Phone is 801-383-3838.

MANDARIN HAS WON a number of awards for its Chinese

or interest in Chinese
food, but there was
a need for a fine
Chinese restaurant
in Davis County and
this family helped us
in developing one.
So the pieces fell into
place.”
One of those pieces
was hugely important
in The Mandarin’s
success—its sauces.
Gregory learned from
a French restauranteur the importance
of “controlling your
sauces,” Angel said.
The lesson stuck.
Today, Mandarin
has over 30 different
sauces, many their
own unique recipes.
Gregory has traveled to San Francisco
more than once to
interview and hire
Chinese cooks. The
busy kitchen has an
international staff
where Chinese, Greek
and Spanish, as well
as English, are spoken
daily. And eight years
ago, Angel’s husband
Paul Manfredini came
on as a full-time member of the team.
Up next on the celebration calendar is
the restaurant’s popular Dumpling Festival
in April. It runs for
two weeks Mondays
through Thursdays,
starting April 11 and
ending April 21.
“We will feature
hand made dumplings, each with their
own in-house dipping
sauces,” Angel said.
“It is really a great
event, and customers
that know look forward to it every year.”

event stand out in your mind in

KAYSVILLE—It’s safe to
say that computers are
everywhere these days.
Along with them are myriad
retailers all promising the latest and greatest products and
services.
One retailer stands out,
and that’s why Prime Systems
in Kaysville was voted Best
Computer Tech/Repair in our
Best of Davis 2016.
Owner Keith Duncan has been
working closely with his customers
for 25 years. Since day one, he’s
had a simple business philosophy.
“We strive every day to bring
our customers a real homey, family
type feel in our store,” he said.
“People feel comfortable here.
They love to interact with our team.
They know we have knowledgeable, friendly employees who they
can have confidence in, and who
will give them a great deal. It’s
very welcoming here, something
I’ve worked to instill in all of my
employees.”
Prime Systems works with small
and medium-sized businesses, as
well as with residential customers.
You can trust Prime Systems’ selec-
tion of desktops, laptops and tablets, and the company can build
you or your business the perfect
server to meet your needs.
“I have a staff of 12, and first
and foremost, we stress customer
service,” Keith said. “That’s something seriously lacking in much
of the retail world today — from
big box stores to restaurants to
just about everything. I’ve found a
group of employees who embrace
my philosophy — that taking care
of the customer and always being
there for them long after the sale
is the most important thing we can
do. We don’t just play that lip service. Service is paramount in our
store.”
Stop in and enjoy the Prime
Systems difference. The store is
located at 230 W. 200 North in
Kaysville, phone 801-546-2666.
Store hours are Monday through
Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and
Saturdays 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

BOUNTIFUL—Dr. Christian
Bahr was always meant to be a
dentist. Growing up in Bountiful, he
was one of those kids who loved
science and medical things,
and “I actually liked going to the
dentist. I loved getting my teeth
cleaned.”
As owner of Bahr Dental, at 460
S. 200 West in Bountiful, he serves
his clientele of happy, healthy
patients in a beautiful new office
opened last year. He shares the
building with his brother, Brooks
Bahr, whose dermatology practice
is next door.
“We started out in 2009 on the corner of
Orchard and 500 South,” Dr. Bahr said. “We
then moved up on Medical Drive for two years
before we built and moved into this facility.”
He grew up in Bountiful; attended Bountiful
Elementary, Mueller Park Jr. High and Bountiful
High (a 1997 graduate); and his parents still
live here. Dr. Bahr was the ninth of 15 children.
When he finished his education and dental
training (dental school at The Ohio State University), he wanted to return to the community
where he was raised.
“I really liked the idea of being part of a
community, treating and helping people and
watching families grow,” he said. “As a dentist,
I don’t have to travel much, so I can live in one

new office in Bountiful.

place, have my children go to one school and
be a part of this community for many years to
come.”
Bahr Dental is family-oriented. His practice
offers most dental procedures except orthodontics. He does his own dental implants, crowns
and veneers. All are porcelain – no metal. Dr.
Bahr treats patients of all ages, and even offers
soft laser for some treatments, along with a
number of sedation options. He says there are
five areas that he focuses his practice on to
help his patients.
First, “we value your time. If a patient has
to wait more than 10 minutes in our waiting
room, we offer a discount on treatment or give
them a gift card.”
Second, he says patients can expect the
office to always been clean, bright and clutter free. Third, “we’re going to maximize your
insurance. We are in network for most insurance plans, and we don’t want the reason for
someone not coming in to our office be due to
insurance.” Fourth, any treatment decisions are
made in consultation with the patient, because
“we communicate all of your treatment options
in advance. No surprises.”
And fifth and perhaps most importantly, Dr.
Bahr offers what he calls the Bahr Membership
Plan, an in-house program to help patients and
their families who don’t have dental insurance.
“We want to make treatments more affordable,” he said. “I have an amazing staff who
saw this plan as a great program to offer our
patients. We work with them and make their
experience here comfortable in every way,
including for their finances.” That comfort also
includes blankets and pillows for patients, overhead TVs, even bottled water.
Dr. Bahr and his incredibly welcoming staff
can be reached at 801-295-5586. They’re all
a big reason why Bahr Dental was voted Best
of Davis 2016.

PerformanceWest Physical Therapy
has been a proud member of the
Davis County community for almost
20 years, with three clinics inside its
borders, in Bountiful, Farmington, and
Clearfield. We have been very fortunate to build relationships with many
businesses, schools, sports organizations and teams.
We are privileged to work closely with many
outstanding physicians in the area, which has
given us ongoing opportunities to improve our
skills, expand our services, and to serve many
people. Our customers and patients are our
lifeblood. The variety of people we see, from
all walks of life, make our days and years in
business so enjoyable and rewarding.
We have seen athletes needing to return to
their sport after injury, to people recovering
from knee replacements. We have worked with
people to help them improve their balance in
order to prevent injuries from falls, to others returning safely to work after a job related injury.
Some patients have come to us to regain the
ability to golf after a rotator cuff repair, while
some women have seen us to help overcome
back pain during or after pregnancy. These are
a few examples of the many people we have
been fortunate to serve over the years.
We are so thankful to work in such a great
profession and are tremendously grateful to the
thousands of people who have supported our
business, touched our lives, and become our
friends. Our mission at PerformanceWest Physical Therapy is to provide the highest quality
