About Blue Lemon

Blue Lemon is a regional fast‑casual restaurant brand that originated in Utah and is known for serving what it calls “pure clean food with a twist.” Founded by Aaron and Lychelle Day, the concept focuses on elevated counter‑service dining, offering made‑to‑order soups, salads, artisan sandwiches, and New American entrees such as seared salmon, steak, pastas, and seasonal specials, along with desserts and specialty drinks. Locations have operated in areas such as downtown Salt Lake City, Highland, Farmington, Cottonwood Heights, and other Utah markets, and the brand also promotes catering for events and business functions.

A Blue Lemon charge on your card statement typically comes from an in‑person meal at one of their restaurants, a to‑go or online order, or a catering purchase for a meeting, party, or corporate event. Individual meal tickets are usually in the range of a casual lunch or dinner for one or more people, while catering orders can be substantially higher depending on group size and menu selection. In some cases you might see a small pending amount first—this can be a temporary authorization when the card is opened at the counter or used to secure a catered order; it should settle to the final ticket total once the transaction is completed.

If you’re unsure about a Blue Lemon charge, start by checking recent dining receipts, email confirmations, food‑ordering apps, and any catering invoices tied to the date of the transaction. You can visit their website to find location‑specific phone numbers and contact forms, and reach out with the date, approximate amount, and last four digits of the card so staff can look up the check or order. If you don’t recognize the purchase at all, ask Blue Lemon whether a transaction under your card number appears in their system, and then contact your card issuer to dispute or block further charges if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Blue Lemon charge on my card when I don’t remember eating there?

Blue Lemon charges generally come from dining in at one of their Utah restaurants, grabbing takeout, or placing a catering or airport‑terminal order. Check whether you or a family member recently ate at a Utah mall, business district, or airport location where Blue Lemon operates, or if a work event or meeting was catered by them; the charge may have been processed under the Blue Lemon brand rather than the venue’s name.

What are typical purchase amounts for Blue Lemon transactions?

Most individual Blue Lemon meals fall into a casual dining range, often around the cost of a fast‑casual lunch or dinner for one to four people, depending on entrees and drinks ordered. Larger amounts—often well over standard meal checks—are usually associated with catering orders for groups, corporate meetings, or events.

Could this Blue Lemon charge be from catering instead of a regular restaurant visit?

Yes. Blue Lemon actively markets catering for breakfast, lunch, and dinner events, so large or round‑number charges may be tied to catered trays, boxed meals, or buffet‑style service. If you manage events for a business or organization, review recent catering orders or check with your office or event planner to see if Blue Lemon was used.

How can I get a copy of the receipt for a Blue Lemon charge?

You can request a receipt by contacting the specific Blue Lemon location where the purchase occurred; their website lists addresses and phone numbers for each restaurant. Provide the charge date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card, and staff can usually reprint or email a copy of the check for your records or expense reporting.

Does Blue Lemon offer any kind of subscription or recurring billing?

Blue Lemon does not commonly operate on a consumer subscription model; most charges are one‑time transactions for meals or catering. If you see repeated similar charges, it may reflect frequent visits, multiple catering invoices, or a saved card on file for a business account rather than an automatic subscription like a streaming service.

Why is there a small pending Blue Lemon charge that later disappeared or changed amount?

Some payment terminals place a temporary authorization hold—often a small or rounded amount—when your card is first run, especially in fast‑casual or catering scenarios. Once the final ticket with tax and any tip is closed, the authorization adjusts to the actual total and any extra hold should disappear from your pending transactions within a few days.

How do I contact Blue Lemon about a billing question or possible error?

Visit bluelemon.com to locate the restaurant where you were charged, then call the listed phone number or use any provided contact form or email. Share the transaction date, the amount, and the last four digits of your card so they can search their point‑of‑sale records. If you still dispute the charge after speaking with them, follow up with your card issuer to file a formal dispute.

Can a Blue Lemon charge appear under a slightly different or abbreviated name on my statement?

Yes. Depending on the processor and location, descriptors might show variations like “BLUELEMON,” “BLUE LEMON,” or include a city name or store identifier. As long as the descriptor includes “Blue Lemon” or a close abbreviation near a Utah location or airport spend, it is likely tied to this restaurant chain.
