five star review by Waleska I:
> Best BBQ I've had. So flavorful! Meat is so tender and just amazing. The sides were all great. I had the Slaw, Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese and the Fries. Service was 10/10. So happy to have this place close to home. You have to check it out!

five star review by Jared R:
> Finally! A good BBQ joint! R&R, count your days! This place is legit, it has proper Texas backyard barbecue, so everything is smoked well, seasoned well, and tender! Please swarm this place and give it the love it deserves! The people running the joint are super friendly and it's all priced appropriately since you're getting quality meat! Highly recommend!

five star review by Peyton C:
> The food was absolutely phenomenal, brisket was so tender and juicy, packed with flavor and the pulled pork was amazing. You can really tell that they put in a ton of love and care for everything they are serving. The staff is super friendly, offering suggestions and even telling you a little bit about them and their place. Highly recommend everyone go and get some of the best BBQ you can find out here

> I've had a lot of Texas BBQ. This is BY FAR the best Texas BBQ I've had. The staff is amazing Kenny and his wife Mary are extremely friendly and fun to talk to. The food is next level. The atmosphere is so relaxed. We got the chicken thighs, half rack of ribs, burnt ends, brisket, sweet corn, potato skins, and Kenny's fries. Everything was delicious

> 10/10 would recommend! Best BBQ in Utah hands down! Service was amazing, restaurant was clean and nice. Food was amazing! Pulled pork, brisket, sausage, turkey all were cooked perfectly. Mac & Cheese was so good with a little kick from the chilies, potato salad was awesome! I have nothing but good things to say, will go back again for sure!

Menu as captured Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 119 venues in Salt Lake City, UT and could score 11 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
