Pat’s Barbecue

Absolutely the best BBQ I’ve ever eaten. I was there in 2009. Got my menu signed! I highly recommend this place!

I have been to Pat's bbq several times as they have live music and I have a family member who played in a band and would perform there. Food was delicious! You couldn't go wrong with whatever you ordered. Well boy was I wrong after telling the group I was with yesterday as I hyped up how delicious all their items were.
I ordered the brisket philly. It was like it was the meat from a day or two before and just warmed up in the microwave. The Mac and cheese was not the greatest either. It was not creamy it had a texture to it. Diet coke was delicious. I could tell on the faces of the people I was with they did not really dig it and only ate part. It felt like we got last night's leftovers warmed up in the microwave.

It was as close to Texas BBQ that is in Utah. The ribs were amazing. The brisket was juicy and melts in your mouth.

Rivals R&R in food quality and taste. It may seem like a run down place at first glance, but the food and service was great! The live music is also a plus. I would definitely go back.

Went into Pats for some pork belly burnt ends and bbq beans. This is the worst bbq ever. The burnt ends were not able to be eaten because of how overcooked and rock hard they were. It was a to go order so didn’t see this until 10 minutes later when I got back to work. The place is pathetic and so is the server that put them in my box and my wife’s box. Not just one but two junk meals. You need to close your freaking doors and go out of business.

I ordered the brisket because they were out of burnt ends. I really should have sent it back, I don’t know why I didn’t. It was the driest, toughest brisket I have ever had. We also watched a group of men sit down and one got his calf bloodied by a tear in sheet metal wall. The only good part of our visit was the man playing guitar and singing.

It's alright. This place used to be considered legendary in the SLC area, but it doesn't seem to hold the same level of 'gotta have it' that it once did. The food (besides the cornbread) is good, but not exceptional. However, the cornbread is not good and needs to be improved. The food was warm, but it seemed like it might have been sitting for a while before being served at the table. Service was okay. For the price, there are better, more memorable places worth visiting in SLC.

Great and outstanding bbq. Moved to Utah from Texas & I'm hyper critical, especially about brisket. Recently, we had a group of 30 arrive here & they were very accommodating. The server Brandon was on top of it. The joint is a must visit!

Great hole in the wall.
Tender brisket, awesome slaw, great live entertainment. I love how they support local musicians and bands.
Insanely popular on weekends. Get there early or be prepared to wait.

Food extremely overpriced and just okay. Ambience not my vibe: hot and smokey inside with sticky tables. They didn’t bring my itemized receipt even after I asked for one. I noticed the charge on my card came through too high, so I pointed this out and they said they’d fix it but they never did. I had to call to try to resolve; they never answered the phone and the first email listed on their website didn’t work. I finally found another email that worked and will now hopefully be reimbursed the right amount. Bad experience from start to finish.

The place was hard to find because of road construction, but after circling the block a couple times I found the place. There’s no parking in front, the whole street in front of the building had no parking signs, and they don’t have an open sign in the window, so it looked like it was not open. I was starting to look for another place when a couple of young guys walked up and went in the door, so I followed. The two young guys had apparently gone in for a takeout meal. Turns out the only customers were four guys at another table, so the server and the kitchen were not busy and my food came out right away. I’ve never had a pork chip sandwich before, and I usually focus on chicken and barbecue places, but the pork chip sandwich was excellent, and the side of mashed potatoes was also very good.

There’s a big stage in this server told me they have music on Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights, and that the place is packed, which doesn’t surprise me. There was a lot of blues, posters and paraphernalia on the walls: too bad I wasn’t there on a music night.

all the furniture is handmade, solid wood, so there’s nothing soft to sit on. If you plan on staying there for a while, bring a seat pad.

There’s outside seating but at 100° I didn’t feel like going outside, I was very comfortable inside.

All in all a good experience, glad I found the place on Google.
