Utah's Best BBQ
I love BBQ and thought I'd list my favorite restaurants
Joe Morley's BBQ
100 W Center St
Midvale, UT
Famous Dave's Barbeque
1166 East Fort Union Boulevard
Midvale, UT
Q4U
3951 West 5400 South
Kearns, UT
Joe Morley's would probably get all my business but for one small problem. They do not have beer on the menu. And BBQ without beer is just plain wrong....
Famous Dave's has the best BBQ sauce around, even better is they have 5 different ones to pick from right at the table.
We usually split our time about equal between Famous Dave's and Joe Morley's. I also like Q4U but they are out in Kearn's so we only hit them occasionally when out on the west side.
Anyone else have some favorites I should try out?

Pat's on West Temple and 21st ish is great when it is good and OK when they are off. Really popular and they have beer and live music on Fridays.
Kaisers on 3rd West and about 950 South is pretty much take out only but it is hands down the best in town. Pork ribs are awesomrific!
Morleys beans are great, Q4U can do beef ribs better then most.
I have heard that there is a good joint in Ogden but have never tracked it down. There is a cart by the Federal Building that has some Brisket and Links and is cheap and plenty good. Makes a nice change from the worlds greatest Taco Carts.

I had a friend take me to Q4U and he introduced me to the owner - Tommy T (or just plain T) before they moved to the new location. I haven't been anywhere else in the city that serves a lot of southern style side dishes like this place does - collard greens, sweet potatoes and black eyed peas. Real BBQ.
For a quick bite, more like a sandwich etc., Sugarhouse BBQ on State St (around 25th South I think) is really good. Try the roasted garlic potatoes, but don't breathe on anyone later.
Goodwood is good, too. Excellent brisket and other unique things. Homemade potato salad.
Now I'm hungry.Never regret anything that made you smile!

Just came back from Famous Dave's, the brisket was very yum, but the ribs were so so :? Kinda dry and too chewy.

Yeah, Dave's has good days and bad days. Good Blues music though.

When we do famous Dave's we always get the All-American serverd in the garbage can lid. That way you get a little of everything.

Have you been to Goodwood Ice? Its in yer neck of the woods and let me tell ya, its awesome! Excellent baby back ribs, brisket and pulled pork. Their sides are great too. I go their for lunch meetings all the time. Famous Dave's is good, but they don't do baby back.

I thought that for sure someone would have mentioned Pats Barbeque in South Salt lake. Everything is good there.

I've never eaten Barbecue in Utah. Too bad I learn about all these good places after I left. Also, can you believe I drove all the way through Texas without stopping for Barbecue?

Smokehouse BBQ & Pizza is good. There are three locations. The original in Orem at 200 East University Pkwy, the second in Provo at University Ave & Center St (just to the north of Los Hermanos), and the third and newest in Spanish Fork on US-6 & 1000 North, next to the Spanish 8 Cinemas.
I have yet to have a bad experience with either their BBQ or Pizza.

Texas Roadhouse by the Southtown mall. Definitely my favorite on in Utah.

It was just my opinion.... but I think there are better places for the money. I also didn't really like their BBQ sauce so that makes a big difference.

Q4U was voted one of the top 10 BBQ joints in the country a few years ago. I haven't been there in a long time, but I remember it being very good.
There used to be a place on State Street and 1300 South called The Southern Plantation that made awesome ribs, chicken, and black eyed peas. They also had the best damn peach cobbler I've ever tasted. They're not there anymore, but I've heard rumors they've opened somewhere else, but it's not as good as it was. I'll have to track them down sometime.

09-05-2007, 07:10 AM #20I went to Goodwoods once.... probably never go back. I thought it was average BBQ at top dollar.
Famous Dave's caters our company picnic every year - I'd say mediocre at best.
Joe Morley's is good, but not great.
My favorite local BBQ is Rib City in AF. It's clean, has very good food & service, and is very reasonably priced!
