These 17 BBQ Joints in Utah Will Make Your Mouth Water

Winter seems to me like the perfect time to enjoy BBQ...you sit in a cozy, warm shop, full of the smells of spicy, sweet sauce and savory meats. Here are some of the best BBQ joints in the state. To compile this list, I relied on consumer review sites such as Yelp!, TripAdvisor and Google Reviews. It’s not a comprehensive list...I can’t possibly include ALL of the wonderful BBQ joints here. These are NOT ranked -- they’re listed alphabetically.

1. Bam Bam’s BBQ, Orem

"The finest meat money can buy." Their words, not mine, but I’m convinced! 1708 S State St, Orem

2. Big Daddy’s Deli, Richfield

Big Daddy's has a 4.5 star rating on Yelp! and TripAdvisor. 60 W 100 N, Richfield

3. The Blu Pig, Moab

Delicious BBQ and live music. 811 S. Main Street, Moab.

4. D.U.B.S. BBQ, St. George

This little hole-in-the-wall not only has award-winning BBQ -- it’s a great place to watch the game, too. 155 West Commonwealth Ave., Salt Lake City.

11. R&R BBQ, Salt Lake City

R&R might just be the most popular BBQ joint in the state with nearly 500 Yelp! reviews and an overall rating of 4 ½ stars. You’ll likely stand in line to partake of R&R’s juicy, smoky goodness...but it’s well worth the wait! 307 W. 600 S. Salt Lake City.
