I have heard good reviews of the place, but was very underwhelmed. Brisket was dry and other meats had little flavor. The sides were good. Overall I was disappointed.

They were great before they expanded. I've seem them go downhill recently

Agree. Seems it's not as good and the prices seem too high for what you get.

Expensive to boot.

Expansion seems to kill restaurant quality.

R&R is the most overrated BBQ in Utah.

bam Bam's in Provo, for me it is not even close, they are the best

Last time I had Bam Bam's brisket, it was half fat (not the fatty brisket). Their sides have always been lacking.

Only the 3rd south in SLC is worth your time

That's typical r&r. Sides are actually quite good. Meat sucks.

Since I bought my smoker my family won’t eat BBQ anymore when we dine out....

I went two days ago. The pulled pork was so good. Ribs were ok.

I don’t go there anymore because I reeked of BBQ and smoke all day.

Thanks a lot, Four Foods Group! Add it to the list of places they’ve ruined

They acquired it a while ago, but the quality went way down when they did

Just like clockwork CB, well done.

Haha relax man, that’s what happens when you expand and try to make money

I haven't noticed anything different. Are you sure it's not confirmation bias?

It could be! But after all this is a post about how R&R is not as good as it was

I’m not a fan. I still prefer 5 star BBQ in Orem over R&R

Honestly that’s how I feel about most BBQ joints. There’s nothing special
