21 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Cottonwood Heights

“Don’t sleep on this place! The food is absolutely delicious and this restaurant deserves to be completely packed! Great balance of flavors with the sweet sauce and a good zing from the dressing and pickled cabbage on the rice bowl. Also, the mandoo is FIRE! Highly recommend.“

“My wife and I were going to go to Lucky 13 for her birthday and our anniversary. They were slammed, so we looked for an alternative. Bandits pulled up as an option that neither of us knew about. (Even though we both grew up in Cottonwood Heights)We were greeted upon walking in, and were seated immediately. We started with fried pickles, and they were amazing! 10/10. My wife had the Best in the West burger with onion rings and ranch beans. She loved every part of it. I had the pick 3 combo with Tri Tip, Pulled Pork, and half chicken with daily vegetables and garlic fries as a side. The sides were amazing, and the tri tip was phenomenal. The pulled pork was a little bland, and I would not do the half a chicken again. Service was amazingly friendly. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star visit is my drink bottoming out and having to wait for 5-10 minutes for a refill.We will be recommending Bandits, and will be back!“

“We’ve now used Miss Essie’s catering services for the past three years. Not only is the food delicious, Marcus is so reliable and one of the friendliest people. His prices are reasonable, as well. I highly recommend anyone that is looking for catering services to go with Miss Essie’s. Best mac & cheese out there!!! You won’t be disappointed.“

“I love this place but as a disabled person the place is very large so to go to the food bar is difficult, I have to have someone go to the foodbar for me.Vegetarian options: I love the vegetables, freshParking: I am disabled so unless you get one of the few handicap spaces it is usually very far for me to walk from, I get dropped off.Wheelchair accessibility: I use a walker. Very large but unless seated by the food bar it’s too far for me to go to the food bar.“

“Loved it! Everything we ate was so amazingly flavorful— Rice and black beans, chicken, skewers, and barbecue pork! The staff were very friendly. Very reasonable prices. The grilled pineapple was thick and sweet! The coconut balls were delicious too! Looking forward to attending their all-you-can-eat brazilian buffet on Fridays & Saturdays. Yum!Wheelchair accessibility: Open, well spaced tables to maneuver around.“

“I've been here several times and always get the same thing. I got the combo bop with the rock chicken and tofu with a Korean corn dog. The food itself is really good but I am disappointed in the amount of toppings I got. There are only 4 pieces of tofu and 4 pieces of chicken making it mostly rice and noodles. Hardly an cabbage either. I'm not sure if I ordered at a weird time but I was disappointing this time. Usually it's awesome. :( but I'm going to rate based on how it usually is- 4 stars“

“I really liked my side salad, ribs and cornbread. My husband also liked the ribs and cornbread but didn't like the baked beans at all. He said they tasted like vinegar. I would have tried the green beans but they were out. The mixed greens salad was really good. I liked the Luke's BBQ sauce.“

“Very happy with this place. Amazing beef, good chicken. The octopus comes pre cooked and you warm it up at your table. Excited to try their soju.The waitress (manager? owner?) is very very sweet and good and fast. I cant emphasize how surprised and happy i was about finding this place.the vibes, art and music here are impeccable.Dietary restrictions: menu is free of cilantro (thank god) and very kind to my lactose intolerance.Parking: About 20 spots to park free near the restaurant.“

“Food is very authentic and tasty. It is also on the spicier side so beware of the heat. BBQ is on point and the fish is a must. There is a lot of carbs and veggies underneath the fish and it's a big dish.Parking is easy and there's plenty of space.Good spot!“

“This was a fun find today! It’s a little hole in the wall place but the food was awesome! We went at noon and it wasn’t busy so we got right in. The service was first rate. The menu had a great selection. We tried the cheeseburger with onion rings and French dip with fries and both were excellent. Will definitely go there again.“

“So happy to have found this Filipino restaurant. Food was great pansit was amazing, Adobo was good. Absolutely loved soup (non spicy) even my mom loved it all and said we could go back and more anytime. I tried 2 new dishes both were with coconut milk and I will definitely be ordering them again. I am excited to try the beef stew next time.Service was great, samples were gladly given. She was very patient me it and if you can't tell I'm so excited to return“

“You will enjoy this cup bop, it's the same yummy as the food truck.You should walk all the way into the place to order.It's not a perfect layout for a brick and mortar place, but if you think of it like a permanent food truck, it makes sense.“

“If you don't like this BBQ, then just never eat BBQ again bc your taste buds are broken. As a southerner, it's been hard to find good BBQ out here. In fact, I've had the worst BBQ of my life here. I'm so grateful to 8lb 6oz sweet baby Jesus for this place to exist because I need my fix. They got it down to a science and it's absolutely delicious. Some of the sides were alright but DANG that's some good BBQ.“

“On two different Sundays (February and April, 2024), we held a family event 18+ people. We used Goodwood in Draper for the food. The staff is very easy to work with, very pleasant on the phone and in person and will help load your vehicle. The food was excellent and tasty and hot both times. The prices are good, also. We will keep coming back.“

“10/10. I ran into this place when a sponsored ad showed up on instagram showcasing their brisket breakfast burrito and it didn’t disappoint. The pit master was on the competition circuit and decided to open a shop. The food was fantastic! Everything is fresh, smoked perfectly and not too much dry rub or too little so you can really taste the flavor of the meat! Give “Over the Coal’s” a go, you won’t regret it!“

“My favorite Hawaiian restaurant now closer to home! We would always stop at this restaurant in St. George on our way south. I’m so excited that it’s closer to home now. I got the short ribs and they did not disappoint. Their cucumber salad is refreshing and the rice was perfect. Do yourself a favor and check them out. You will not regret it!“

“This was the Texas Roadhouse in Taylorsville, Utah. My review reflects my own taste as far as atmosphere goes. It's Texas Roadhouse, after all, so it's a bit raucous but fun; so if you're after a quiet dinner, go somewhere else. We had a great server and the food came out fast and delicious. What more could you ask for?“

“Picked up the bbq brisket sandwich at the convention center today. Worth every penny. Generous helping of brisket but hey, add more and I’d be happier. More slaw would be great too, only because it’s great. No complaints here, hope to try more of what they offer.“

“Happened upon this on my way home from a random errand, and so glad I did!Service was impeccable. The whole deal took around 5 minutes, and the food (shared a brisket quesadilla and pork tacos) was shockingly good. Proportions on these were perfect; or if anything - more than expected.Hope this becomes (or remains) a frequent spot for them (17/17). We’d certainly be back for more.“

“This location off of 12300 has some of the best costumer service out of ANY restaurant. As I proceeded to spill all of my food after receiving it. Within seconds, they were cleaning it up with the best attitude, and had a new serving waiting free of charge. After I pleaded to pay for it again. Top notch!“

“I'm just leaving this review BEFORE I got my food cause one I already love cupbop but two this was my first time at this location and LESLIE was killing it. No offense to the other two employees cause they seemed new but she was literally running circles around them. If it wasn't for her I promise you this location would be in big trouble with the amount of traffic it gets and obviously under employed. Give this woman a raise or y'all gonna regret it if she gets another job. That's all go Leslie!“
