Great BBQ. Price is high but I believe lives up to the cost. Probably my favorite local BBQ place. Thanks for the recommendation that came from Tracy Burnham. read more

First time trying, between quantity, quality, and price. I'd give this 5 stars. The meat here is cooked right with flavor to it before any sauce is added. The sauces have variety to them with good consistency and flavor. The sides here are also prepared well with flavor. The price might be $1 more than other bbq in the county but they make it worth than extra $1. I would tie this with Holy Grill so far in my bbq in Utah county. read more

I was super excited to try Five Star BBQ because I love BBQand the Yelp ratings are all incredible. Nearly everything I read gave it five stars hence their name. So I also got the Friday special which was two choices of meat and two sides. I picked the brisket and ribs and while the brisket was great the ribs weren't the quality of say TX Roadhouse which was the only disappointing aspect of my visit. For my sides, I tried the mac n' cheese and creamed corn. The mac n' cheese was quite good but not as good as Chubby's which is the best around. I tried the creamed corn on the recommendation of a coworker and it might have been my favorite part of the meal. Not typically a side dish that I would get in place of fries, my all-time favorite, but it was so good. The atmosphere was nice and the house/building was clean. The four of us ate upstairs where we have the place to ourselves until a graduation celebration eventually began setting up. Overall a great experience! read more

5 Star BBQ - The Friday special Brisket, ribs mac n' cheese and creamed corn - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

Ok so the brisket isn't Texas brisket but it is the closest thing I have found to it so far. I always get the brisket salad and it never disappoints. Lil pricey. read more

I haven't been in years and we thought we'd try it since we were in the area. Everyone was very friendly there. We ordered the brisket, chicken and turkey. Brisket was pretty good and same with the chicken. Turkey didn't have much flavor and was a little dry. We also got the Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and corn bread which were all extremely dry and no flavor. fries weren't good either. But the rice crispy treats were tasty. I mean it is Valentine's Day and they were slammed so that could be why. But I think we'll stick to Sean's smokehouse when it comes to BBQ. read more

Five stars for Five Star! Being a girl raised in the south by a southern food cooking mother and a real barbecuing father (cuz I'm sorry but utah s calling hot dogs and hamburgers a BBQ is just sad), I can say that this is legit BBQ! The brisket is second to none in Utah, and I've been to many a BBQ joints all over the state. I don't usually eat pork anymore, but I just could not resist after seeing my friends' piles of steaming pulled pork on their plates and sandwiches. It truly is "fall off the bone" pulled pork-super moist and flavor! If you want a good souther style BBQ experience, Five Star is your only option in Utah. They also cater, so I'm happy that my company brings them in from time-to-time! read more

Great vibe and wonderful food. Their Alabama sauce, MAC and Cheese and Funeral potatoes were amazing. I'll go back. read more

5 Star BBQ - Got the Thursday special: 1 meat sandwich with two sides. Got the Mac and cheese and their popular funeral potatoes. - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

Very good, always consistent, staff are awesome! You can stop by for a quick meal or for a special occasion.

5 stars for Five Star. Their meats are great, service is extremely helpful, and they have a huge variety of sides that are all flavorful and filling. I had the turkey and it was saturated with smoked flavor, moist, and they gave me a huge portion. I'll definitely be back. read more

Went in today and got the student special! Which is a killer deal btw. I got the brisket with mac &a cheese, and homemade chips. The mac & cheese was bland, the homemade chips would've been soooo awesome if they weren't so salty. I wanted the marbled brisket because dry brisket is the WORST...but the server just threw some on there and when I asked for different meat she looked at me with disgust. So I just told her it was fine and carried on. In the end, the meat was dry. I'll give this place another shot, but hoping that the service will be better. read more

I was treated to a catered lunch at work from 5 Star BBQ so I cannot comment on restaurant or waitstaff. The food was top notch. We were given brisket, chicken, cornbread, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and rice crispy treats. For me, brisket is always the star of the show when it comes to BBQ. If your brisket sucks, I can't look past it. Luckily, their brisket is on point and on past with other local chains. The chicken was peppery and juicy. Almost too much pepper for my liking. The potatoes and Mac were nothing too extraordinary but serviceable accompaniments to the meat. The cornbread may have been the best I've ever eaten. It was so dense and moist. A delicious corn rock. Overall a great meal. read more

Five Star has gone through some ups and downs as they apparently try to fine tune things. For me, the original when they opened was the best. That said, they still have excellent everything, and the best sides around. I've just downgraded because I can't get a beer, and the others are at 4 star because of that. Perhaps soon, I'll change my mind, but I'm not sure. Five stars in a review is the best. The competition has caught up, and in at least one case, it's better. So, four stars for five star. I still love you, but want a beer. read more

Tried them for the first time last week. They have some of the best brisket I've ever had. The service was also fantastic!

Creamed corn gets the stars. That stuff is to die for! Other than that the meat that was served to me was cold and so was the Texas toast. I also ordered a side of fries that were delicious but they arrived after I had finished my meal BOTH times I ate here. The brisket is kind of dry and the chicken doesn't taste smoked at all. read more

This is one of those places that people might drive by because it doesn't look like every other chain location in the world. It's an old house that has been repurposed with room for groups upstairs. The lot is gravel. But let's be clear. We aren't here for glitz. We are here for the meat, and it's amazing. The brisket is possibly the best I've ever had. Moist. Good bark. Great flavor. I didn't even sauce it. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone--but still with a great texture. On Friday and Saturday after 5 they have prime rib. I want to be clear: this is not usually the cut I go for. Usually it's a little too fatty for my taste. This prime rib is the best I've ever had. Delicious. Perfect texture. It's expensive ($29.99) but so worth it. If you like horseradish, ask them for some of the real stuff they use in the back. Va-va-boom. Of course, there are also sides. Plates come with one or two meats and a choice of truly yummy looking options. We are on the keto, so we had a double salad side, but the mac and cheese or the mashed potatoes made me really rethink my life choices. Enjoy! read more

My husband and I ordered online, and when I went to pick it up they didn't have it on file but they took the money from us anyways. I talked with the manager and they said that they were actually out of what we ordered and that we could have store credit but they refused to send us any type of confirmation we could use to get the store credit. And by send us any type of confirmation I mean like an email or some thing that we could use so that we could prove to whoever we tried to order with next that we had store credit! And of course whenever we called and tried to order again they had no record of us having store credit. It was a really unfortunate experience because we used to order from here at least once a week, and now we've just been completely turned off. read more

Best BBQ in Utah guaranteed to love it!!! Brisket was so tender and tasty! We also loved their fried funeral potato side. It is all so good!! read more

The BBQ is alright but the wait and service is bad. Plan to wait a LONG time to order and get your food. There are other BBQ options in the area that are as good if not better on quality but way better on service and experience. I am sorry. I really wanted to give a better review. read more

This place appears to be a dirty hole in the wall because its on Geneva, but don't be tricked! This place is amazing. I've enjoyed their pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. All of their meats all delicious, and I dont think you can go wrong. They probably have the best pulled pork in Utah though, so I would recommend that if you had to choose. As far as sides go, I am a big fan of all of the sides, but the baked beans are my favorite. They are always packed with flavor and are a little spicy. Their hours are a little crazy so pay attention to when they are open. read more

Best BBQ in Utah Valley in my opinion. I never was big into BBQ because I didn't enjoy gnawing on dry meats. But this place is the perfect done-ness. Succulent pulled pork and brisket WOW. If you don't believe me then try for yourself and ask for a sample. They have something called the Brunswick Stew which is just lots of meat in a BBQ-y soup (as accurate as I can depict). Worth a try as a side to your meat platter. We've also tried their peanut butter Nutella cookie which hit the sweet tooth craving after a savory and meaty meal. Tucked away in the less populated part of town on Geneva Rd. I'd consider this a hidden gem worth being advertised. read more

I'm a big fan of bbq so can get picky. This place can definitely get pricy but it's worth every penny. I got brisket, pulled pork, Cajun sausage, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, fries and pickles. All of this was plenty for 4 people and we had left overs. All the meats were fantastic, flavorful and juicy. Macaroni and cheese was flavorful and creamy. Potato salad was the best I've had. Fries were really good, stayed fresh but they aren't super crispy. I'd also highly recommend the pickles, they have a great crunch. read more

Looove this place! The meat is so tender and flavorful and there are so many delicious sides to choose from! My personal favorite is the brisket with a side of corn chowder. And of course, their corn bread is AMAZING. It's like dessert to me. They also have a student special which comes with meat, corn bread, a side, and a drink. read more

Three stars is fairly generous for my experience today. Depending on what element of the restaurant visit you find most important this could be two or maybe even a one star. The good: The sides were delicious. The sauce options were plentiful and flavorful. Promptness of service was good and we were offered a sample of one of the meats. The bad: The "marbled" brisket seemed like maybe it was from yesterdays cook. It was tough and dry despite appearing to be from the "point" portion of the brisket. The sausage that we sampled in line was juicy and flavorful, the sausage we were served was less so. There were A LOT of flies inside. Like a lot. The soda machine stopped dispensing ice and rather than unclog the ice chute they just put up an out of order sign. The soda dispenser still worked fine and the drink was cold. Other thoughts: There are other great options for BBQ in Orem. read more

Long time fan of 5 star BBQ. I love the salad-the creamed corn on it really hits the spot! My kids love the mac and cheese, honestly I do too. Super good smoked meats, and amazing sides. read more

My sister and I visited this place today and ordered a brisket salad and a two meat meal. The employee that took our order was friendly. The restaurant was pretty much a mess, there were only four customers in the place when we came in (late afternoon) non of the tables had been bussed, we cleaned our own table off before we could sit. That being said the food was delicious. The salad was fresh and yummy, the brisket was perfect. I would go back but maybe for takeout only. read more

5 Star BBQ - Two 2 Meat Plate and salad with brisket. - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

We waited over an hour for food and when it finally came out it was cold. We told the manager and she said they would bring hot new food. We waited another 15 minutes to semi-warm meat. We will never go back. We should have gotten a refund. Food was just ok. read more

Food that they had was good. We got there at 7 and they were out of brisket, ribs, corn chowder and fries. Waited nearly 40 minutes for our food. Had to clean off a table to sit at ourselves. Service is poor at best. read more

This was my husband and I's first time in. We ordered the one meat plates at the recommendation of Alyssa! It was delicious. My husband was raving over the mac and cheese and the fries were to die for! Service was wonderful and food came out quickly. The restaurant was a little busy as it was probably their dinner rush but it didn't affect service or quality at all. Very pleased and we'll definitely be back. Thank you Alyssa! read more

Tried the ribs today and they were excellent very meaty and awesome flavor . I highly recommend them

Went in for a quick dinner with my parents tonight and we were not disappointed. My parents got brisket sandwiches and I got the two meat plate with brisket and chicken. My mom didn't love the Mac and Cheese, but the fries were delicious and the cornbread was a great texture, partnering perfectly with their yummy honey butter. I especially loved the service. I was able to order to eat there and get a take out meal for my husband. The girl serving the meat was friendly and outgoing - she let us sample each meat before ordering because it was our first time. Even though I chose the brisket and chicken, the spicy sausage sample was also very good. Last note, the sauce variety was great. The hot sauce is HOT, but it was probably my favorite. Overall a really awesome place, we will visit again for sure. read more

My husband and I are still rarely new to the Vineyard community, and we love to visit small businesses and local food spots! This is definitely a spot that we like to take friends and family to. It's a cute restaurant, very personal, and the staff is always great! We love everything on the menu, from the Tasty brisket, to the corn breads and yummy Mac n cheese! I would recommend that everyone in our area try them out! If you like BBQ, you'll love 5 star! read more

Delicious! Found this place on Yelp as I'm just here over night and needed a good dinner spot. Took to-go the two meat plate with Brisket and Pork with the sides of Mac&Cheese and BBQ Beans & garlic toast. My favorite part is that they had so many BBQ sauce options. I tried 3 different ones and they were all great. Highly recommend this BBQ spot! Thank you! read more

5 Star BBQ - two meat plate with Brisket and Pork with the sides of Mac&Cheese and BBQ Beans & garlic toast. - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

I have not yet been to this particular location, but I am a huge fan of the one in Provo, so I'm adding this review since it's the same food. So, so, so good! Seriously, give it a try! There's nothing else like it in the area because of the way they cook the meat, the variety of meat, the catering, etc. Great sauces and sides too. read more

Five Star is one of my favorite BBQ joints in the county. They've got a new, simplified menu which makes ordering easier than it used to be. You can choose from their smoked chicken, pulled pork, ribs or their fabulous beef brisket... or you can combine them all by ordering their 'sauced' meat. Yum! You just can't make a bad choice here. But don't stop yet. Now you get to select one (or more) side items. I am smitten with their mac & cheese, so that's my go-to side item. Whenever I have branched out and tried other things, I've been pleased. I imagine you will be, too. Perhaps best of all is their sauce selection. You will probably see a couple of bottles at your table when you sit down. Don't be fooled into thinking those are your only choices! Look to the right of the soft drink dispenser and you'll see a small fridge stocked with a dozen different sauces for you to explore; each one is clearly labeled. Dark Chili and Kinda Hot are two of my favorites, but there are so many yummy treasures in there for you to find and I won't ruin the surprise by naming them all. You get a lot of food here. The portions are definitely generously sized. When you first walk in and look at the menu, it's easy to think this is an expensive place to eat. But as you walk out at the conclusion of your meal, you'll probably agree with me--this place is a good value. read more

Not too shabby Happy Valley.... Typically we avoid this end of the valley (for obvious reasons.... J/K.... GO cougars!.... Not really) but it's nice to know that there is decent bbq to be had. We came on a Saturday night during peak hours and the place was pretty dead, which both delighted and horrified us. The staff was very helpful and friendly and allowed us to sample several of the meats before we made our choice. We decided on The Burly (around $27) which includes 4oz of each of the meats, plus ribs, plus 3 sides, a very decent value for what you are getting. We chose creamed corn, mashed potatoes, beans, and since they were almost out of beans we were offered a fourth side which ended up being a stew of some sort. The results: Of all of the meats, the chicken actually had the best flavor. They were out of the fatiest brisket, but it was still decent. The pulled pork was pretty standard. The ribs, which I typically prefer to eat dry, came already coated in a thin layer of something sweet. They weren't exactly fall off the bone, but they were good, and the chef even through in a few extra for us! Good man. As for the sides, the clear winner for me was the creamed corn. This is the first time I can remember eating creamed corn and now I'm probably ruined forever on anyone else's but theirs.... Diabolical. The mashed potatoes needed something more like gravy or a giant Mound of butter. The baked beans were thick and not overly sweet, which I appreciate. The bf loved the stew the best, I thought it had an odd flavor I couldn't identify. The meal also came with corn bread that was also sadly devoid of the butter Mound. Overall, we both left full and satisfied with leftovers for us, and rib bones for our "kids" at home. read more

Got the 2 mean plate with 2 sides. I got brisket which added $2. In my opinion that's a lot to upgrade to brisket. Especially with the small portion. Brisket- pretty good on the lean side but somewhat dry. Pulled pork- just right. And a pretty decent portion. Baked beans- the bomb! Pieces of meat chopped up inside. Sweet with a lot of flavor. Mashed potatoes- almost seasoned too much, but still really good. Mac N Cheese- fairly simple, cheesy and delicious. Not overpowering. There honey butter is really good even though there cornbread is Meh. Out of all of the sauces my favorite is the sweet. It works well with everything. Overall I ended up paying around $19 which I thought was pricey for what I got. read more

Five Star is one of the best barbecue places in Utah. My husband and I LOVE BBQ, and we seek the best of the best, aka, we've tried a lot of BBQ joints. This is one of the best. An amazing bbq place to me is 1) amazing sauce, 2) tender meat, and 3) amazing slaw. This place has them all. I particularly enjoy the DaveAnderson: Opened faced pulled pork sandwich atop of garlic toast and blanketed with slaw. One of the best combinations ever invented right there. The ribs fall off the bone delicious, their chicken is juicy, and my husband particularly liked their brisket (and he's very picky about his brisket because it's his favorite). read more

Heard so many things about this food spot and how they're so good, and I was really disappointed! The meat was tender but not all that. My husband and I ordered the 2 meat plates and the only thing that came warm was our fries which was a side. Even my kids half sandwich meals didn't even come with a bun, and when they brought the bun it was super hard and burnt, so we wasted money on that because my kids didn't even eat it because the bread was so hard. Don't think we'll be coming back but at least we tried it. This place is a lil pricy for the food they serve. read more

The service in this place is absolutely terrible. As I wait for my brisket sandwich that I ordered 45 minutes ago and checked on twice in the interim I write this review. The staff seems absolutely obvious to what is going on, let alone customer service. Update, checked for the third time. Still no answer except it's coming....canceled my order. Wasted my entire lunch hour. This place should just close for good. It used to be good and reasonably quick but the staff they have on hand now are terrible, manager included....he could t even tell me where my order was. read more

I am not a BBQ expert, so I can't really critique too well, but the food is good. Portions are big and the location is unique. The head girl in charge didn't seem to be too nice to the trainee guys (who were very nice to us). However, she treated the customers well. I hope she can relate to her peers better. But, the food is good. Menu is a little limited in offerings as far as pairing them up into own meal assortments. read more
