I think Utah County has some surprisingly good food. BBQ unfortunately isn’t one of them.

What’s the best BBQ joint in utah? Spending a week in SLC area next week. I like to try local BBQ when I travel.

For the brisket. Don’t go there for the sides

The turkey is really good too

True, sides aren’t great. Five Star has the best sides that I’ve been to in Utah

Never judge a BBQ place on their sides.

As much as I love bbq (b/r in KC) I like enjoying my Q with good sides. It's not

I actually agree with this sentiment. I don’t pick a BBQ place based on the sides, the meat is what it’s all about. But

Exactly. I don't want to go get brisket at one place and then go somewhere

It’s not hard to make good sides. I don’t understand it

Their sides are way better than they used to be. The beans are pretty good.

Get the fatty brisket, not the regular

One of the only times I threw away virtually everything I bought.

Supercoug

5/16/21 7:54pm

That’s a little surprising to me. I guess I’ve been in Utah too long.

the last time I threw away BBQ was here in TX, so it wasn't a dig at utah.

Pats bbq is good and has a dive bar feel to it if that makes sense

Their new location on State Street was underwhelming a couple weeks ago. Not as good as the old location was.

Good to know. I haven’t been in over a year.

Cougarite

True. I’ve been to the new one twice. It’s okay. Unfortunately there’s just not

I've tried Pat's 3 times. Disappointed each time. The brisket was particularly bad.

Once upon a time they were great

I like R&R at their original location on 6th South and 3rd West. Some of their other locations are hit-and-miss.

5 Star in Orem.

Wow, just looked up reviews, looks very popular & good reviews. I hadn’t heard

I went last week and it was awful.

Has 5 star gotten it back to together? used to love that place.. terrific

I haven’t been for a while, so it may have changed.

stenso

5/16/21 9:32pm

No they haven’t. It used to be awesome and has been bad for the last year or …..

Boo Hoo! I used to love that place.... the marbled brisket.... yum

BamBams is the best for brisket, R&R (downtown or Lehi location) is pretty good for other meats. R&R’s other locations

Anyone like sugar house bbq? I haven’t been there in years but it was good.

Cougarite

5/16/21 8:02pm

Really good turkey there. Every time I've had it it's been juicy

Santi

R&R has been the best I've tried. Also try Mo Bettahs while you're here.
