This commitment to time separates the truly great barbecue establishments from the rest.
Focus on Quality Ingredients: Recognizing that great barbecue starts with great raw materials, Rr Bbq emphasizes sourcing quality cuts of meat. The selection process is deliberate, ensuring that the foundation of their dishes meets the high standards required to withstand the long smoking duration and emerge perfectly prepared.

It fosters a casual environment where patrons can relax and enjoy hearty portions of expertly prepared food. The atmosphere is relaxed, encouraging repeat visits from those looking for reliable, satisfying comfort food rooted in American culinary heritage.
Complementary Side Offerings: While the smoked meats are the undisputed stars, the accompanying sides are crafted with equal care.

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!

I ordered delivery but bbq is one of those foods that should deliver well. Brisket, was passable at best. I received the lean flat (no options on DD), it was crumbly and dry for the most part. Very little marbling or moisture. The sausage also tasted quite commercial, like kielbasa. Looking at the cross section, not a lot of separation, pretty emulsified. Tasted pretty much like hillshire farms kielbasa you can buy at the grocery. The pulled pork was average with no complaints. Sufficient moist. Nothing particularly positive or negative to say about it. The hush puppies tasted like KFC fry oil, in a good way. The side salads are fairly large.
Can't say I would recommend this place for bbq, especially if you've ever had bbq in Texas or other states known for bbq.

I’m so glad I came on a Tuesday for the daily special. Their Tuesday special is the Taco trio which is brisket, pulled pork, and smoky chicken which all have slaw, feta and a side tangy tomatilla sauce in flour tortillas. I LOVED THE TACOS, so good!!!
The staff were so nice and friendly!!
Unfortunately, there were many flies inside the restaurant and their front door was propped open. Many customers inside were swatting flies away so I ended up getting my food to-go, hence my 3 stars for atmosphere. Other than this, R&R BBQ is an amazing restaurant to visit. If you can go on a Tuesday I’d absolutely suggest getting the Taco Trio!!

Great food! The BBQ Nacos were really good! 😋 And my son enjoyed his sliders and fries. However, we wanted ribs!! We were told that they were out, and it would be a while, but the group that came in right after us (literally 10 seconds after) got ribs!! 😡 They looked so good... but we didn't get to order them. 4 people out of the group of 8 got ribs. We were only 2 people and were told they were out for a while. Anyway... maybe next time we fly all the way across the country. 😝

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.

If you like it dry, with a sweet sauce, this is your place! The brisket was tasteless and so dry that my tongue thought were in the Mojave desert. Pork and chicken were moderately better, but just barely. Their mac and cheese side was nearly as dry as the brisket. Turkey was ok. Mostly clean and roomy sit down area. Not worth the time, or money - $25 for a 2 meat tray with 1 side, 1 dessert, drink and roll
