The meat isn't fresh every day anymore. :( it's grown a lot which is awesome but it's more expensive and the portions are small. Love the sweet sauce though!! It's my fav read more

Service, fast. Meats, great, but not as good as Five Star. Sides, ok at best. Sauces, good but not fantastic. I like my ribs dry rather than sauced, so this is a good place to get them. Brisket was good. Chopped pork, not pulled pork. PS: terrible name read more

All the meats are good. Mac and cheese is amazing. Sauces are really good. Not much else to say. This is the best bbq we have had in the area. read more

Bam Bam's is the best bbq place in the Provo/Orem area. It is a little on the pricey side for a poor college student, however, I think it is absolutely worth it! The meat is flavorful and juicy, and the mac and cheese is delicious! read more

What I liked: The brisket was really great. Moist and tender. I really enjoyed it. They have a nice selection of specialty sodas, and I chose a Bunderberg Ginger Beer. Not gingery enough for me, but a nice drink. The cole slaw was pretty good, but I don't like coleslaw in general. What I didn't like: Most of this is going to be in comparison to my favorite BBQ place in Utah, Five Star BBQ. Lack of choice of sides. I'm not a big cole slaw or potato salad guy. Five Star has a great choice of sides. Price. Half pound of brisket, side of slaw and a soda and I was out $15 bucks. 8 bucks. Lack of plates. I went with someone else and they just put the brisket for both of us on a piece of butcher paper. When we asked for another plate, they just gave us another piece of butcher paper. I thought it was strange that they expect people to eat off of the same piece of butcher paper. read more

Unbelievably good. It is just possible that I have at some time had better barbecue than this, but I would not be confident saying so for sure. I got pork ribs and brisket. The pork ribs have something rubbed on them that is really complicated and interesting. The brisket is out of this world, certainly one of the best things I have put in my mouth this year. The fat melts in your mouth. The meat is tender but toothsome, and the outside is crusty with a rich, complex flavor. I just can't say enough about this brisket. With every mouthful I couldn't believe how awesome it was. I want to go back to Provo just to eat the brisket. Every day. For the rest of my life. They do not put barbecue sauce on their meat, which I consider a plus. This meat doesn't need it. It is already perfect, so why cover it with stuff? I got a side dish of something, maybe potato salad, but I forget what it was. It doesn't matter. Get the brisket. Cost was around $17; they charge by the pound. read more

The ribs I got were good but pretty sparce considering the price, I mean $8 for 3 pieces? Not to mention the side of beans were also kinda disappointing. I don't know what recipie they use, and maybe other people like it but I find it kinda bland. Overall I'd rather drive up to salt lake city than go back here if I feel like ribs again. read more

Bam Bam's Bbq - This is the beans and $7.50 ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

The prices are a little steep for me to be able to frequent this place, but they've probably got the best brisket in Utah. The brisket easily outclasses all other briskets that I've found north of Texas. read more

Ridiculously good! I've spent a lot of time in Texas, Alabama, Louisiana. This is as good as anything down south, but much closer. Half eaten pulled pork nachos. Mmm.... read more

Bam Bam's Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

The place never disappoints. Bam Bam just does BBQ right. I'm from Texas, I know BBQ and this is as good as it gets anywhere. Who dat, get dat, Tru dat! read more

This is legit barbecue. I really like their approach to BBQ--you can tell it's authentic. Even though it's Texas-style, they do have a Carolina-style vinegar-based sauce, which is a nice touch. read more

Good food, bad service, bad value. I'll be at Five Star BBQ in the future. I was forced to pay for a drink if I wanted nachos. The owner/manager (or whoever he is) mocked me for not wanting soda and ordering nachos. read more

Utah County has been flooded with chain restaurants. We really need to start celebrating places like Bam Bams that produce good, quality comfort food. The meat is simply the best. You won't find better smoked brisket, pork, or ribs in Utah, which is saying something. The price is very cheap for competition-quality barbecue. The only thing that keeps me from going is the lack of quality sides. In their defense, they have sent out customer surveys and are looking to improve them. Once they get some good baked beans, green beans, or corn bread, I may never leave! read more

Wow, incredible brisket! Bam Bam's is known for brisket, so get the brisket. The other items are good, but if your going into this restaurant and want to have the best experience order the food that it's know for, which is the brisket. It's the best brisket you will have in Utah, if not some of the best BBQ you will have in many of the surrounding Western states. They cut the brisket right in front of you when you order it and you have the option of getting the fatty or lean part of the meat, which I really like the option. You have a variety of sauces to use when you sit down. Again, we love that as it gives many different flavors depending on your preference. My favorite is a vinegar based sauce they have. It's hard to find good vinegar based BBQ sauces out here so it was a very welcome surprise. You can't go wrong here, you wont' regret it! read more

Bam Bam's has the best barbecue in Utah County and may very well be the best in the state. While it is somewhat more expensive than other places, the best bang for your buck are the sandwich combos. Great: Chopped beef, brisket, and sausage. These are all as good as it gets. I've eaten barbecue at lots of places in Texas, and Bam Bam's is as good as I've found outside of Texas for these things. Good: Swachos are a fun take on nachos. The pork isn't as good as it is in North Carolina, but it's still tender and juicy. Okay: The sides and sauces could still use some work. My favorite side is the baked beans, and they've consistently improved since I've been coming here. I'm judging on the meat as that's why I come here and why I recommend it to everyone I know. read more

Wow the beef brisket is so good! It's the best I've had in Utah so far. I have a little beef with this place though. 1. You must be rich to eat here. $$$ 2. I asked for lean meat, but it was full of fat. read more

Still amazingly delicious still killing it .. Got my favorite fatty brisket and was happy to see the addition of the pickled jalapeños .. Well done. read more

Bam Bam's Bbq - Yup that for just me - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

All you have to say is BBQ, and I am IN!! Walk up counter ordering style, with a scale to weigh the meats. It's beautiful to see those huge slabs of perfectly marbly goodness, all up close and personal. Sliced by BamBam, I guess. Owners son. A total comedian enjoying every second of his job, and chatting up the customers. I led him into a dark meat white meat joke which was hilarious. Customers can chalk write on walls, and it was refreshing to see the family was from Long Beach, and the OC. 4 not 5 stars because I think I was overcharged by the kid at register, probably my fault, I can be a particularly confusing orderer. But YUMMM-ERSSSS!!!! CAN I JUST SAY THEY CRUMBLE GOLD FISHIES, OVER THE MAC AND CHEESE. Just yum. read more

I tried the swatchos (BBQ nachos), now I have to switcho my afternoon schedule because I need to stay close to the bathroom. While in line someone told me I had to try the brisket. I ordered a single slice, and it cost me $9. Wow!!! $9 for a single slice of brisket. The BBQ rub must have gold dust in it. read more

Their ribs are amazing but make sure to bring a tooth pick also because you will want to order two or more racks. So is the smoked brisket I highly recommend it. The macoroni and cheese makes a great side dish. The atmosphere is a great place to bring the family. They have a great passion for customer service! A little pricy to eat everyday but you get what you pay for with Bam Bams. They have a skill for making food. I hope I can try something new on the menu next time. Bam Bam's Ribs, Brisket Sandwich, and Pork Ribs! read more

So, it's easy to see that their food is great. The soda machines are pretty sweet too, I had a peach Pepsi. Their turkey is to die for, and the swatchos are amazing. Let me tell you what made me a HUGE fan. My kid got sick (wasn't feeling well before) and created a nasty mess. I was embarrassed beyond belief, asked for a mop(while covered myself) and was treated so kindly. The guy cleaned it up and told me "these things happen, no worries". Those little things matter, and I was so grateful. I'll make sure I swing by there as much as possible to support them (I'm from Heber). Thank you! read more

Best nachos (Swachos) I've had in recent years. I went with a couple friends during peak lunch hours. The line was to the door when we got there, but it moved fast. Will be visiting again. read more

Bam Bam's Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

The food is so freaking good! I lived in Alabama and they know how it's done here! They have my favorite style of BBQ sauce with a vinegar base! I could practically drink the stuff! Always get their brisket sandwich. Their potato salad is good, the Mac and cheese is killer. And they have a good bbq environment. The staff are a bit on the I'm cool side and don't really make you feel super welcome, but I could eat here all day long nevertheless! read more

Great place, has a very unique and fresh vibe. We were very impressed. When it comes to food.... Not as impressive, I had my expectations high so maybe that did not help. I would say the it's a good place to eat, but not for them that have a high expectation for BBQ. read more

Bam Bam's Bbq - The atmosphere is awesome. - Barbeque Near Me - Orem, Utah

Love me some Bam Bam's! The brisket is just unreal. I always ask for the fatty stuff and the ends, trust me, do the same. Love the various BBQ sauces they have available and all I can say is you have to find the one that tastes right to you. The ribs are my other go to. 80% of the time they are just ridiculous but the other 20% they are forgettable. Not exactly sure why but the brisket is always money and the reason I'll keep coming back. Yes you pay a premium for premium BBQ so go hit up dickies if you don't want to pay $5 more a person for out of this world meat. read more

I really want to give Bam Bams 5 stars or even 4, but the meat just isn't living up to expectation... Nor are the sauces. I had great hopes that it would replace my cravings for Austin's brisket or Carolina pork, but it doesn't... Despite my regular visits trying to convince myself otherwise. Don't get me wrong, it isn't Dickey's bad, but it's not Salt Lick our Franklin's either which is what it aspires to be. Plus, it's far too expensive for what you get. Stick with the brisket. Good coleslaw and potato salad. They also have a killer right syrup mixture fire their Dr. Pepper which is a'cue must. But, come on, lose the trying to be cool serving it on a piece of paper gimmick and offer plates! read more

I usually get pulled pork or ribs at bbq places, but they talked me into the brisket and it was amazing! I'm converted! Great food and friendly service, this will be my new bbq stop! read more

Delicious!!! And I married to a Texan so I know good Barbecue. This place is legit - the meat is smoked beautifully, the sauces are done well and done right with great unique flavor and the sides are fresh and inventive. The seating is cool - family style to make it feel a little more like home or at least like you're eating with friends. If you go on a weekend or busy night seating can be tough but it's worth it! Great experience! We'll be back soon for more! read more

Bam Bam's BBQ is LEGIT! Cameron apprenticed under John Lewis the greatest Pitmaster of all time. He is also sponsored by Traeger Grills. I ate some of the best BBQ in Houston for 2 solid years and Bam Bam's can hang with the best of them. We travel to Utah every summer for the 4th of July. Can't wait to eat me some brisket! http://www.traegergrills.com/pro-team-member?chefid=cameron-treu read more

I think I am in the minority when I say that this place is just okay. The brisket was good. The shredded pork was also good. The chicken was dry. I can only say the place is good. I would not call it excellent. Avoid the beans and potato salad. They may look good/interesting but...., I didn't like either. There are a lot of other barbecue restaurants out there that are better. read more

Very solid BBQ. Lived 2 years in Texas and doesn't quite match the best there, but it's pretty darn good.

Let me start out by saying that I am not the type of person to ever leave reviews, like ever. But man was this place bad. The lady who took my order was flat out rude and condescending. Very unprofessional. The restaurant itself was disgusting. The floors looked like they hadn't been swept all day with food and trash all over. The food itself was mediocre at best, meat was kinda dry and didn't have as much "smoky" flavor as you would expect. Definitely not worth how much they charge either. Way overpriced for the smallest portions of food you've ever seen. Save yourself time and money and eat somewhere else this place is not worth it. read more

Finally tried Bam Nan's but unfortunately didn't love it. I felt that it was overpriced and the meat was something I could have gotten anywhere. I tried the brisket and ribs but they were both just pretty average. The reason for two stars was that I did not like the Mac n cheese or the beans really at all. Could just be my taste preference but they weren't good. Sauces were decent, meat was decent but wouldn't go back. read more

I am very impressed with this place. It is hard to find a good BBQ joint in Utah. The only down fall, they are so finger licking good that they sale out all the time! Definitely come early and get some pulled pork, or even brisket! You will not be disappointed with this place. read more

It's BBQ. In UTAH! And the best part is that it doesn't taste fake. It doesn't seem like they are just trying to copy someone else. They actually do their own thing. The turkey was super moist. It didn't have a ton of flavor on it, but the sauces made up for it. Pulled pork sandwich was great. They pull it right in front of you and you get nice size chunks of meat. The atmosphere is great and they don't try to do too much. Pork, turkey, brisket, and sides. The service was slow but not bad. You could tell they may have been training or new, but they were nice and helpful. I asked for suggestions and they picked some great options for me. If you compare every BBQ place you eat at to your grandmas place in Texas ... You are never going to be satisfied. So keep your self indignant BBQ snobary to your self. If you want good BBQ in a state not known for BBQ. Eat here. You will love it. read more

Just get the brisket. You'll leave 5 stars too. The experience I had was SO good, that we've replaced turkey on Thanksgiving with Bam Bam's brisket and Sauce. Quit reading start driving. I'll see you there. read more

You can't go wrong with the moist brisket Jalapeño cheddar sausage was awesome and I loved the different sauces. Way to go pit master Treu!! read more

My review is short and concise: Average pricing If you're not getting the nachos and you are not there to watch a Byu game with other fans, then I recommend other BBQ joints like "cubbys." This place is so average, when you get your food, you'll realize how careful they are with their budget and money. I say that because you'll pay 10 dollars for a pulled pork sandwich and you'll get a carefully measured out amount of meat onto the bun. It's suppose to be BBQ food where they give you gobs of food for that price. Famous daves has a special where they fill a trash can lid! Bam bam BBQ just doesn't serve you enough food and then you're left wondering why I didn't just get a huge pulled pork at Costco for 5 dollars. Bam bam BBQ just doesn't feel like a BBQ place at all, even if they added a couple bucks to their prices it wouldn't matter to me as long as i get a huge sandwich with a hardy portion side. The presentation is great there! They have tvs for the games you are wanting to watch, they line up picnic tables so they can serve to large groups and the establishment is very clean. Overall i always look for restaurants that do more for the customer and less for themselves. I go to chipotle and they give me free tortillas without a question, at red robin bottomless fries, Mexican joints give me chips and salsa until my sonriendo, even five guys gives me peanuts. Bam bam BBQ shows me little to convince that they want to please the customer more than their competitors. Your food portion will be limited, the pricing won't be fair and you'll be left wondering why they even could not put out peanuts onto the table. If I'm going to spend 10 dollars for BBQ, I'll at least get two pulled pork sandwiches from Costco before I go to bam bam BBQ. read more

Whenever I'm craving BBQ and I'm headed their way I always make it a point to stop by and eat. I love the simplistic layout and the country feel of the store. Now for the goods stuff. The BBQ is so mouthwatering good and the potato salad is amazing as well. Gotta love Bam Bam's! read more
