R&R BBQ

This BBQ place is hands down one of the best BBQ I’ve had in Utah so far! Everything was cooked perfectly, the chopped brisket was tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor better than the sliced brisket, and the sides were just as amazing. The portions were decent, the staff was friendly, and the whole place has a great environment. If you’re craving real BBQ, this is definitely the spot to go!

Great atmosphere. I am doing this to try and get a gift card to be honest. I would love to be able to come back and get more from the menu. I heard that they possibly have a breakfast menu. I havent tried the food yet and am hoping to make this a new favorite BBQ spot if mine. Service seems to be a wholesome environment with the out going type of BBQ places that Utah seems to have when it comes to good food. The wings have no meat on their bones, also they were over done. The brisket on the nachos were a little dry as well. I wouldnt go based off of someone else's opinion but that is just mine. The nachos were ok, the menu stated sour cream and mine had none. I added a picture of the wings. I wear a size 8½ ring for size.

We got the small family pack so we could have enough for lunch the next day. Way more food than we thought! Absolutely tender, delicious and we even got a bottle of sauce to take home. If you love BBQ .... this is your place. Cheers!

I had the buffalo smoked wings, they were possibly the best wings I have ever had! Not too spicy, amazing smoky flavor...just wow! The brisket nachos were great as well.

I didn’t say this lately, because I’m a huge barbecue food fan, but this might be the best barbecue I’ve had. Next time I’m in Salt Lake. I will definitely be coming back. If you’re looking to try everything, the R&R plate is great. It lets you try to the meats, one of their sides, a dessert, hush puppies, and a drink. What I love most about my meal, the ribs! They were so tender, and the flavor was on another level. But that’s not all, peach cobbler was delicious, and had a very generous portion size. In the mac & cheese flavor was perfect. 10/10, would recommend to anyone. I live out of state, but if I’m back in the area, I will definitely be coming back.

I had dinner here while in town for SmallSat recently and found it to be pretty tasty. The best thing in my opinion was the pork bbq. It was tender juicy and tasty. The ribs had great flavor and tenderness but were quite small. The brisket was chopped up in cubes which was a little strange and was dry. The brisket was definitely my least favorite. The service was good. I was able to order easily and didn’t have to wait long in my food. Not bad for a chain in the area but there are better barbecue places in the SLC area.

Thanks to the staff at the R&R BBQ came here for my birthday and from out of town and was not disappointed. Staff was friendly. Food was delicious. And thank you to the young lady for helping us and the staff for wishing me a happy birthday!!!

We come here a lot and food is great everytime and workers are nice. They always give extra too. We love the brisket , we always get mash potato’s and the baked beans. Super delicious and banana pudding for sweet treat.

Me and some friends were in town for a conference and came here for dinner. There were a lot of us so understandably our orders got mixed up and some things were missing here and there. One man there who I'm assuming is the owner or head manager was so nice and helpful. He made our experience here the best. The food was amazing and the smell of the restaurant makes your mouth water as soon as you walk through the door.

extremely quick service friendly dudes taking our order 3 meat plate (ribs, chicken, brisket) fries Spacious interior Easy parking lot Taylor Swift Christmas playing in background :) One of the best BBQ we've had!

Ordered on uber eats to the grand america hotel. Meh Brisket dry Ribs tough Hush puppies terrible Beans awesome Sausage awesome Sauces awesome So there you go in one man's opinion

Hey, sorry I didn't get any photos to show you what I was eating. But I got the brisket, which was extremely overcooked and extremely hard. It had a charcoal outer layer and no pink inner layer or red layer. Some people call it the "show the penetration of the smoke." So, it's really not that good of barbecue. I also got a six-count order for wings. The best part about the wings was that they were big, but once again, it was very overcooked. It's probably cause it's smoked and not fried. It doesn't lock in the juice, or maybe it just sat around for a long time cause it smoked I eat at this barbecue place in my town quite a bit, and I always opt for the moist chicken. These two places are just not the same.

Came here on a Sunday. Food was delicious, so much that even the next day leftovers were bomb! Great bbq, workers were great and tables were clean. Definitely would come back.

Had to repeat my order 3 times. Salad dressing was wrong, and out of stock on many items. All my stuff was put in to go containers and I said "stay". All 6 employees were more interested in watching the football game than helping consumers. Was going to bring my work team here tomorrow but may reconsider.

Average BBQ. Read the review's. Thought it was going to be so amazing. Definitely was mid. Had the brisket, turkey, sausage. It was just ok the sides was just ok too. The service was good. Very casual typical ambiance. I'm not sure if it is the best BBQ In town but if you had better, you know what's hitting

Nasty Bouncy Brisket! This location of R&R used to have decent food, the ambiance is always uncomfortable like any 2010's fast casual chain, so I usually just order To-Go. The staff is always pleasant though. On my last visit I ordered a 3 meat plate with double brisket and pulled pork, and upon arriving home I was greeted with a Plate of rubbery un-rendered fat cubes, almost like they just chopped up an undercooked fat cap and placed it all in my to-go box. I tried to eat some of it as I was starving but It was just so bouncy and gross, I spit it out as it was not even fit for my girlfriend's dog. I am done eating out for a bit, this is place is horrible and makes me want to go vegan.

Food was amazing and customer service was great. Very clean and friendly place. No complaints what so ever.

My husband and I are from out of town and we were craving bbq. The bbq ribs and brisket were great. Their sides were good portions and delicious. Would definitely eat here again. Service was great.

Amazing! Service and food were outstanding! I had the loaded brisket potato and I Would highly recommend!

Pretty decent brisket nachos and wings. A good spot to stop by and enjoy bbq. Staff was really polite and seemed to have a good take out process.

We got ribs and chicken stuffed potatoes, and it was very good! Service was friendly and the restaurant had an overall chill vibe with country music playing. The Cole slaw and hushpuppies were lacking in flavor but I would definitely eat here again. The ribs was some of the best I've eaten!

We were craving some BBQ and originally wanted to splurge and go to Ruth Chris Steakhouse but they must be doing just fine during this time of outrageous inflation. No reservations until 9 PM. Who the heck wants to eat at 9 PM? But I digress. So, for us 5 PM people, we opted for some BBQ within walking distance of our hotel. The best I've ever had? No. But overall a very satisfying meal. Their hushpuppies are supposed to be special. Honestly, I am not sure I have ever tried one so I can't say how special the experience was. They were tasty, but not something I would seek out. Their brisket was moist and turkey tender. My wife enjoyed her ribs and apple cobbler. I could have gone 5 star, but that would have been my hunger speaking. I would not go out of my way while traveling to stop here but if you are staying at one of the nearby hotels in downtown SLC, it is worth stopping by.

I loved the service I received from the cashier and the food prep. The atmosphere of the place was chill. I took the food to go and was offered extra bbq sauce with the option of sweet, mild, and spicy. I ordered their famous ribs. It was dry rubbed and tasty. Even better with the sweet bbq on the side. The meat did not fall off the bone but the flavor and texture was there. I also got the brisket. It was good but I got a lot pieces that were really dry despite dipping it in the bbq sauce. The cream corn on the side was very flavorful and the hush puppies were great when drenched in honey. I would come back for the ribs for sure.

Came in before closing, great service, really good price for the large amount of delicious bbq and the smell is heavenly. 10/10

This place was 4.5 stars for me! Sooo good and a great price. Staff was really friendly and told me what was popular there. I got the brisket and chicken plate. The chicken fell right off the bone and the brisket was so tender. Their bbq sauce is amazing!!! Usually it's too sweet but it was so good here and I can drink it from the bottle. The Mac and cheese was really good too. Plenty of seating and clean bathrooms.

Didn't know what to expect after reading the reviews , I still went seeing that they had my favorite as a daily special . Rib tips and fries . I also ordered a side of baked beans . The Food did not disappoint. the portion of ribs was enough for 2 people maybe 3. customer service was good . didn't take Long and everything was fresh . very busy and welcoming environment . With that being said see for yourself .

There are no words to tell you how amazing the food and service was here! Everything was fresh, tender, and delicious! Not to mention, Sean was probably the nicest person we have ever met. He had the best customer service and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. We cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for making a memory for us on our road trip, Sean!

$22 for some trash bbq. Wouldn't be surprised if the owner is on the Forbes list with these prices

Really good pulled pork BBQ sandwiches at R&R. Came with a side (I opted for hush puppies). Food was yummy. I went with 3 other people and they all raved about theiir meals while we were earing. I also appreciated the very quick service. They were busy (all tables but 1 were taken), but the food still came out very quickly.

The 1 meat plate could be good for 2 people. Doesn't look like a lot but it is. It's just spaced out on the tray. Good place to eat with a group because you could easily pay for your own meal and super fast service. After ordering at the counter, you receive a number to place on your self-chosen table. Seems like an unpopular opinion, but I think the side dishes outshined the meats. Here's how I would rate the ones I tried: 1. pulled pork 2. ribs: A bit salty 3. Brisket: Least flavorful and the most dry, but the fattiest. Needed sauce to fully enjoy and all the sauces provided on the table were good. Carolina Gold tastes a bit like mustard.

Straight up average bbq. Not the worst I've ever had but definitely nowhere near the best. It's serviceable. I ordered the R&R plate and it's $30 for not a lot of meat. Only two ribs and I ordered an extra bone. So if the regular order only has one, it's a rip off. The ribs were average. The brisket was a little more plentiful but bone dry. The hush puppies were cold and also average. Fried pickles were pretty good, but since I got uber eats, they were lukewarm and soggy. Still not bad though. The hot bbq sauce was really good. I would recommend this place if it was about half the price. But for $30, you need to step it up.

I was on an overnight and starving and saw this joint was open. I didn't expect much, but man my expectations were easily exceeded. I like to dry a little of everything and here's my take from what I got, but this was at the end of the day. Do remember it's the worst time to get food from a bbq spot because things aren't as good as they were earlier. Chicken thighs: dry, but tasty. Again this could be because it was the end of the night Brisket: Wow. Surprisingly tasty. Like seriously. 10/10 would recommend Ribs: Some of the best ribs I've had in a loooong time. I'm rarely impressed but these did it. I asked what side and was recommended the garlic mashed. Nothing bad, but nothing crazy either. The sauces were excellent. The sweet, original and spicy were just a great pairing. All in all very happy and would come back many times.

Terrible Customer service, food took more than 20mins for a R&R Hot Dog Order. We end up Cancelling. People are rude, will never come back. This used to be a good place to eat, now its going downhill The Manager is aware and doesnt wanna deal with it and have her staff deal with the issue. We tried Loaded potatoes as well and it was good to be honest, just the staff and the manager is rude

The service here was incredible. It was our first time in and they were incredibly patient with us and walked us through the menu. The food service was fast, staff were very polite, and they were especially kind to our children. They checked in on us multiple times to make sure everything was well. Food wise, we tried all the meats except the chicken. I preferred the lean brisket to the fatty chopped brisket which surprised me a bit, since fat usually has a lot of flavor. The lean brisket had a slightly smokier taste than the fatty brisket that I liked, and it was incredibly tender. The flavor of the ribs was marvelous, but I think they were cooked just slightly at a too high heat, as the meat clung pretty stubbornly to the bone. The sausage was decent, and although the pulled pork was tasty it was a little dry, but still good with all of the BBQ sauces they had to offer. The baked beans were a pleasant surprise, they had jalapeños in them, and the mac and cheese was really good. We also liked the hush puppies (fried balls of cornbread) and the fries were perfect. The cole slaw was a pretty average recipe, but creamy enough. The sweet tea was fantastic, and the peach cobbler was awesome. All and all, one of the best BBQ spots we have eaten in Utah.

Serivce was friendly and helpful. Location was clean and easy to find parking. There is to go and catering location a few doors down. Food was excellent. - Brisket was moist and flavorful - Ribs were very good. Wish they were baby backs but would still get again. - Sausage was very good. Just the right amount of spice. - Mac and cheese was on point. Perfect level of cheese and noodle. Not soggy or mushy. - Baled beans were excellent...they are how they are supposed to taste....most bbq places get it wrong. - Hush puppies were the right density. Have them with honey. - Sweet tea was the right level of sweetness. Would totally come back. Note: You will smell like the smokey goodness of all the meats.

Freakin so good! Get the nachos! This place is clean the food comes out quickly the service is on point!

I'm getting pretty addicted to this place! The ribs, brisket, and chicken thighs are always a solid choice. The spicy BBQ sauce kicks everything up a notch! Big fan of the hush puppies as well

I bought the family take out. Paid extra for the brisket. The brisket was dry. The chicken was hard and dry. It was not edible. It was $100. I contacted them and told them twice and received no reply.

Came here for a business trip and wanted something quick. R&R BBQ was right across the street and I decided to give it try. I had a BBQ crave for a while and this spot definitely helped me satisfy it. Pulled pork was super flavorful and most importantly not dry. The sausage was snappy and packed a punch of flavor. The brisket was ok, not the best I've had maybe it has been left out for a while but it was a tad dry. Flavor wise was very well seasoned and their sauces sort of made up for the dryness. (Their Carolina BBQ sauce is a must try) Coleslaw was standard and the biggest surprise were their hush puppies. They tasted super good and had a kick in it due to the jalapeños they put in it. Pretty good BBQ place for Salt Lake City.

We had planned to stop at our regular bbq place while in SLC, but it was closed... Yelped the nearest bbq joint and ended up at R&R. Love new food adventurers, but sometimes it's a gamble. The disappointments: Value for price... we split the 3 meat platter once we realized we couldn't get out under $50 for two of us otherwise. The dining area was awful to navigate with a disability that impacts mobility! Access to drink, utensils and condiment cups was iffy. The tables were dirty! There was only one table clear (not CLEAN, just clear) when we arrived at 2:00 pm. There were only four other groups at that time. So about half the tables had not yet been cleared and still had the number and were piled with the previous occupants trays and food. Honestly, seeing the volume of uneaten food left behind me a little nervous. We also had to swipe paper towel roll and sauce caddy from one of those other tables because ours was completely out. No corn or greens! Seriously. No collard greens, no green beans, no butter beans. Zip. Nada. Nothing. The only veggie side options were green salad and coleslaw. I reluctantly ordered the coleslaw, which also belongs in the "disappointment" list with its bland flavor and shortage of sauce. The brisket was flavorful, and fell apart, but was super dry! There were only three pieces. When it's an extra $2.50 it *should* be the best thing in the plate. My +1 was most disappointed in this part of our meal. What I LOVED!: The ribs! They were a bit dry, however the fat was rendered beautifully and the bark was delicious. The garlic mash! Perfectly seasoned, nice chunky real potatoes. Gravy was good too. Everything I hope for in a bbq mash. Muah! Perfecto. The selection of sauces! Yum. Original, Sweet, Spicy, Carolina Gold. What I liked: Smoked sausage was tasty. 7 of 10 here. The roll. Nice and fluffy, golden, great crumb. Real butter too. Not excellent, but good. Drink selections include Sweet tea & Red Cream Soda. The sweet tea was good, but not perfect southern style sweet tea. Acceptable though. What was unacceptable: Lack of accessibility. The dining area floor looked pretty gross, or so I thought until I went into the restrooms. Then I realized they weren't soo gross, comparatively. The bathroom floor was AWFUL and the whole room smelled heavily of urine. Trashcan overflowing. The dining room trash can is NOT clearly marked, and hidden in the far back by the restrooms. This could be a contributing factor to the full dirty tables. Staff seemed more interested in socializing than attending to customers or ensuring the cleanliness of the facility. On the plus side they were courteous and cut our food out very quickly. Will I be back??? Sure, I'd give it another go if I'm in the area. The desserts looked tempting. Plus I'd come during the weekday to see if it was just an off Sunday. But equally likely that I'll chose a cleaner more accessible dining experience before checking the consistency here.

Skimpy portion of brisket on the 3 meat plate, and the brisket was dry. Fortunately they have 4 bottles of BBQ sauce on the tables. The sausage was okay, nothing about it stood out or was memorable. The meat on the ribs pull away easily and was neither under or over cooked. The hushpuppies were dry and dense. Definitely not great BBQ, and one visit was plenty for me.

First of all, TJ and Anna deserve a big raise. They are wonderful! They kept me entertained as I waited for my food, kept me up to date on my order, ensured I had fresh food, all while running a massive list of orders. I can't tell you how impressed I am. Oh and the food is pretty good too!

Hush puppies are a must! They're so crispy on the outside yet most on the inside. I've never had hush puppies like this before. I tried the ribs, brisket, and spicy andouille sausage. Ribs were amazing, must get! Their sausage was great, better than expected tho also smaller than expected. The brisket was dry. At least the table has 5 different bbq sauces for you to choose from. Original, spicy, sweet, and the limited editions Carolina Gold and Raspberry Chipotle.

We had an order delivered to our house and it was so delicious! Their loaded Mac and cheese is so worth it. I love that they do hush puppies. They do such a good job with the meats here. I ordered ours with no bbq sauce because I'm allergic to tomatoes and that's exactly how it came. They did however put little sides of bbq sauce in the bag which I felt was so thoughtful so that my husband could still have the sauce. The pricing is pretty reasonable. Their banana pudding is my new fave!

Extremely disappointed! The Mac and cheese was simply wet noodles and a liquid watery sauce. This is not Mac and cheese imo. The beef brisket was extremely dry. Although it had nice flavor the dryness was off putting. The garlic mashed potatoes with gravy had nice flavor but it had very large chunks of potatoes that I struggled with the texture. The hush puppies had jalapeño in it. This was okay but not a standard hush puppy. Too spicy. The coleslaw was okay. The chicken thigh was overly salty. Couldn't eat anymore. 2 dinners for $50 where most of it I threw away is not my idea of good bbq. The floors were dirty, the tables had other peoples numbers on it still and the tables needing wiping down BEFORE one eats. Overall, my first visit to SLC with trying this bbq was not a good experience. My suggestion is to contact Mission BBQ and get their recipe on how to make MOIST BBQ beef brisket and BAKED Mac and cheese. They are a National chain and I hope they come to Salt Lake City to show people what better bbq should be.

Food was great had Mac n cheese with Brisket and the loaded baked potato with smoked sausage.

Service is quick and friendly! I appreciate the portions you get for what you're paying. Some items can be a hit or miss at times, such as the sweet potato fries pictured which were incredibly salty. The chopped brisket were very lean once and then very fatty the next time I went, however, I do understand that this might vary based off of where the cut is from. Overall, a good and convenient spot to go to if I'm craving bbq.

Solid bbq spot. Everything hit. I went midday so there was no wait. What I ordered: Beef brisket Mac n cheese Hush puppies

The Service was good but very disappointed in the portion sizes. We ordered the 2 meat buffet and the sides especially were not proportionate to the amount of people we paid for. We ran out of mac and cheese half way through the line of people and many people left hungry. For this price point there should be more food.

The chicken wings are killer. The staff at this location is really polite which I appreciate a lot.

Ordered from DoorDash late at night and I was a little upset with this meat overall. The spicy sausage was by far the best and did add a little kick to each and every bite. The sausage was moist and had a nice crisp casing. The ribs were bone dry and felt more like peeling beef jerky. It nearly hurt my teeth tricking to pick it off the bone and I would have to chew it for a while before I could swallow. Maybe fresh it's a bit better? The brisket was also a huge letdown. Maybe I got the burnt ends of the brisket because all slices except for 1 were completely burnt and was more or less burnt beef jerky. The 1 single slice of brisket that was fatty and was a middle piece was delicious, the rest was nearly impossible to eat. Might give them a chance in the future but for now I am turned off by the food.

The service was great. The people friendly and helpful. Sadly, the barbecue was just ok. I'm just not sure that this should be listed as one of Salt Lakes best. The potato salad was RX terrible. The potatoes weren't cooked, it became trash on the second bite. The meat was ok but nothing to rave about. Portion size was not what you would expect at a barbecue. My bill for pulled pork, brisket, my side was potato salad and a. Ice tea was $38.00. I won't be back.

The bbq choices are outstanding, small "hole in the wall" spot. Guy Fieri recommendation and definitely didn't disappoint. Had the pork tacos, shared the Mac & cheese, fried pickles, coleslaw, mashed potatoes & gravy, one heck of a meal! Observed numerous customers picking up to go bags, great choice. Friendly staff with great service.

First time here and it wasn't the greatest experience. Cashier Casen was rude and by the time we were done ordering she threw the fountain cups at us. Would not come back again.

The girls working are clearly overwhelmed. I orders my food ahead for pickup 45 minutes ahead of schedule. Upon arrival at my pickup time I was told that there would be an extra 15-20 mi Ute wait for the Mac and cheese I ordered because that's how long it takes to make. I thought this is why I preordered the food. Girls were nice just very overwhelmed.

It's been too long since I've had remarkable BBQ ribs. Not since I had Brother in Laws in San Francisco in 1999 have I had ribs as good as the St Louis ribs at this spot. Brother-in-law's is since closed and I had been chasing this flavorful smoked rib flavor, texture and mouth resonance until today. It's my day off and I want to see what SLC has in the was of amazing food. I was spoiled for 18 years in Las Vegas and where I live is dominated by chain restaurants. Today's search was for BBQ ribs. Top result with 1440 reviews and 4 stars is R&R BBQ. There are butts in seats and diners licking their fingers; this is a good indication of happy taste buds. No line soI walks up to the register where this nice young man takes my order. I really like how they have the menu mounted high on the wall so if there is a line, everyone can be prepared when it's time to order. In my photo you will see how it's easy to follow and order from it. Nicely organized. I ordered the half rack platter with one side. Half rack was 6 meaty delicious bones. Lots of meat with very little fat. For my side I chose the green salad, For the bread option I chose the Hush Puppies and very glad I did. Best HPs I've had in 2 decades. After I ordered the line grew to 10 deep. I paid, with a tip and walked down the line to wait for my to go order. The team was working diligently putting the orders together. A young lady named Tanya was in the line cutting the ribs for each order. She was very good at engaging customers with small talk and a smile as she prepared orders in the line. She asked my name and confirmed my order. They were spot on. Hate when I don't check and something's missing when I home. Not happening today. I was offered Spivey, sweet and medium bbq sauce so I took all three to throughly review this product. First bite... bare and cold (I was downtown so had to ride around a bit). The bite was full of tender, smoked pork rib meat! Wow! Salty, tender Smokey, flavorful... makes you close your eyes to savor all the deep flavors and chew longer so not to let the moment go...deep sigh... I put everything in the fridge to have for dinner in 2 hours. 2hours later, I put the ribs in my air fryer for 5 minutes at 320 degrees. Lightly heated the three cups of bbq sauce... spicy, medium and sweet. Second bite... dang! Heat was nice. Juicier than cold and all the flavors are still fantastic. The bbq sauces... medium was just full of smoke flavor and very good. Sweet was surprisingly perfect for me..... it's not sweet like sugar but more like hot honey with a Smokey backside. Dee lish for sure. Spicy was amazing too. It's not trying to damage taste buds but to elevate the spice a notch above with a sultry vinegar flavor plate to wow and amaze. Well done saucier! I love all three, none more than the other. Those Hush Puppies though! Crusty and cooked throughly with a very satisfying bite full of flavor. Next time I will try the with butter and honey or both. A must get. For years I've been disappointed with the HPs I've had. Finally happy. Thank you R&R! Oh! And the pieste de resistance Peqch Cobbler! Full of fruit and flavor. The fruit was sweet and the cobbler satisfying after the deliciousness of savory meal. I'm very glad there is a location in Lehi, much nearer to my place. If you want to have some good ribs, until I find better rib spot,R&R is my jam! Support you local small businesses!

This place was just okay. Came in with high expectations from their overall reviews but the meat was just so so. Chicken was not very tender and the pulled pork was good. Hush puppies were dry. Mac n cheese was not warm, the cheese on top was cold and hard but the sauce the noodles were in was really good so if it was fresh it would've been better. Would go somewhere else next time
