    Sweet pork bbq sandwich
    Simon H.

    Great bbq spot, and we tried the brisket sandwich (on pretzel bun) and sweet pork sandwich topped with coleslaw, pickles and jalapeños. We also got the pork ribs and mac n cheese. Smoky and Spicy Bbq sauces were available on the side, none on the meat. I found the brisket to be tasty but a tad dry, not much of the "bark" to see. Sweet pork was very good as well, nice flavors, the bbq sauces were essential for both sandwiches. The pork ribs were the best item, juicy and seasoned well and just tender enough to eat clean off the bones. Mac n cheese was great too!

    Oh my, 5-Star alert! Probably the most memorable meal on our two-week roadtrip, and it happened in Tropic, Utah. There's a big chalkboard menu that has many offerings not on the website menu. First off: value. Meaning great food at very good prices, no tourist gouging. Sweet and Spicy Sandwich - pulled pork with jalapeños, beans and nacho cheese on an Asiago bun, so good. Brisket Meat Platter - excellent, good balance between char and softness. Cornbread was very good, coleslaw worthy. Good portion. Beans & Potato Layer - excellent flavor, potatoes were just a little too hard though Mac & Cheese - one of the best versions I've had, cheese is thick. Loved it. Burnt Ends - top your meal with these delicious pieces for $1.49. Great snacking for the next day even cold. Peach Cobbler in Waffle Cone - cobbler had small pieces of peach, not big chunks, perfect. It resembled a compote, just the way I like it. Hefty serving of vanilla ice cream. Three sauces from which to choose. Good, but they tasted somewhat similar. Great service.

    Adorable family-owned BBQ joint near Bryce Canyon. Owners are super friendly and the food was all good. Overall, I would give 4.5 stars if possible. The star of the show was the peach cobbler with ice cream. You absolutely must get this, and I recommend in a waffle cone! We tried every meat with different dishes. 1. Pulled pork baked potato - 5 stars 2. Brisket Nachos - 4.5 stars, needed just a tiny more brisket - that was the best part! 3. 2 meat plate w/ribs and chicken - 4 stars, the brisket and pulled pork were better

    Meat was tender. House made sauce was good. Friendly staff. Fun atmosphere....picnic tables inside with rock music playing. Good meal

    If you're in Bryce Canyon, I recommend you take a 10 min drive to Tropich and stop by. The food is great. I got the Smokey Sunrise - chicken on Parmesan bun topped with max & cheese and smoky sauce. Awesome sandwich. The max and cheese was really good too. It comes with chips. I subtracted a star due to poor customer service. My wife went in to get an item that they missed on our order. The girl at the register huffed and puffed and sighed and in the end finally got the item. It was a bother to get the item we paid for but didn't receive. Seating is nice. We sat outside on a bench and table. They also have indoor seating. I recommend you try their bbq.

    If you can overlook the customer service the food is worth it. We had a few people on our family and each one said wow they were so rude. I got the pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw! So good! It comes with a bag of chips. The pork was juice and tender not dry at all, the cole slaw was really good too it had great flavor. I ordered a corn bread and that also was really good. Everyone else In our family enjoyed their meal. Just customer service was -1 star. There was a lady in-front of us who came back and said she didn't get her Mac and cheese and they asked for receipt and she said I didn't get one. ( you have a choice to say no to a receipt but get it in case they miss something) and she went back to check previous orders and then got upset when she had to get the Mac and cheese. Same thing happened when I took my niece in because they forgot the ice cream on her dessert. She asked for a receipt and I said we said no and she rolls her eyes goes back and then grabs our container and the tells the other girl you forgot the ice cream rudely. The peach cobbler was really good definitely recommend with ice cream. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor only has like 5 tables. We sat outside In the end food is worth it and just get a receipt!

    Pulled pork sandwich

    IDK BBQ is super yummy. The only thing better than the food is the service. Awesome people work here. The truck bed table is adorable and a fun place to sit. I had the pulled pork sandwich on an asiago bun which I highly recommend. I don't think you can go wrong here, there are lots of combinations to choose from but if you like BBQ, you will love IDK BBQ.

    Brisket and Cornbread
    Erin S.

    TL/DR: The meats were okay. The sides were better. The peach cobbler is not worth it. Here's what we got: - 1 Meat + 1 Side - Brisket + Cornbread ($9.99 + $1.99 for brisket): The brisket was pretty average. The cornbread was good. - 2 Meats + 2 Sides - Pulled Pork, Sweet Chicken + Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese ($15.49): My husband said the pulled pork was fine, the sweet chicken was good, the baked beans were tasty, and the mac & cheese was amazing. - Peach Cobbler ($5.99): Simply not worth it for taste and also not worth it for price. A far cry from the best BBQ I've had.

    The restaurant was pretty nice. Sad the food was such a downer.

    My wife and I were in the area visiting the local national parks. Thought barbecue would be a good idea. Saw this on yelp and there were some OK reviews we went in, the place looked really nice but was like almost nonexistent. We had to scan a QR code and order on our phone still OK not too bad, when the food came, it was dry dry dry. Now myself being a barbecue aficionado could tell you that this was cooked a long time ago and it was held at too high of a temperature. I guess the most salient words I can use are "will never go there again." It's a shame when you pay good money for barbecue that is way overcooked. When the meal came, there was no napkins and no utensils when I asked where are they? They just pointed.

    Sweet chicken and fixings
    Andrea T.

    I am so glad we chose this place over its neighboring restaurant. My 1 meal plate of sweet chicken plus fixings was heavenly. The servers were nice and the ambiance was spic and span cute. Great pit stop for RV travelers like us.

    Peach cobbler and ice cream in a cone.
    Brittney H.

    Small,cute and delicious. Food was great got a George's Special and the Backyard BBQ sandwiches. They have warmed bbq sauces by the fountain drink area. Service was quick and pleasant. Highly recommend if staying near Bryce Canyon especially compared to the restaurants near the hotels. Place was very clean and smelled great.

    Idk, I must've come on an off day... My family and I were stoked to try this place as a treat whilst enjoying the views up on Bryce Canyon's lookout spots. We got: - brisket plate ($9.99): came with a side of coleslaw and cornbread. Nothing special to note here. - sweet chicken salad ($10.99): the chicken was on the drier side. - pulled pork salad ($10.99): the pulled pork wasn't as juicy as I would've liked - brisket loaded potato ($10.99): same sentiment with the brisket as the brisket plate. The potato was a-ok. - peach cobbler with ice cream ($7.48): the cake layer of the cobbler was doughy, rather uncooked :((( Don't think I'd come here again unless I was desperate. The workers were nice though :/

    BBQ plate combo with pulled pork and side Mac and cheese
    Olivia C.

    I would consider myself a BBQ fanatic, and I loved IDK Cafe. The interior has a few dine-in tables and is clean with well-decorated, Texas vibes. It seemed like the food was prepared already, so they pretty much just combine the plates/meals depending on your order- regardless, everything tasted fresh and it certainly made the service fast! I got the brisket sandwich, which was so tender and flavorful. They have three BBQ sauces you can help yourself to, and I wish I could've bottled up the Smokey BBQ sauce to take home. My boyfriend got the BBQ plate combo with pulled pork, which he also loved. Our least favorite parts of the meal were the sides- the coleslaw was a bit too watery and the cornbread muffin was quite dense. Mac and cheese was pretty good but not mind blowing. My biggest complaint was that they seemed to be out of many of their menu items (not sure if this was just because of the time of day we went?). They were out of the other bun "flavors", so I could only get the plain bun for my sandwich. They also ran out of nacho cheese for their nachos, which seems like a pretty important ingredient...

The steak was simply seasoned but cooked medium rare as requested and tender. The ribs were tender (not quite fall-off-the-bone but easy to eat) and the barbecue sauce was tasty with a bit of a kick. We could each choose two sides, so we chose soup (red pepper and Gouda, like a tasty spin on tomato soup) and loaded baked potato (well done!) for the steak, and mashed potatoes (served broccoli instead, but it's fine) and onion rings (tasty & crispy). Condiments including ketchup, A1 sauce and mayonnaise were all on the table for easy access. SERVICE: Very nice and attentive. OVERALL: Very good choice among the relatively limited options nearby. Seats do fill up quickly. We missed the live music but were seated with the first seating without a wait, so we were content.

There's not a lot to do in tiny Bryce Canyon City, Utah. But I think its safe to say that the town's most popular attraction is the dinner show and combo at Ebenezer's. Our experience started off some live pre-dinner entertainment before the dining room was called row-by-row to hit the chow line. Dinners included steak, chicken, salmon, or BBQ (Pulled pork and chicken). After your entrée was plated, you go down the buffet line for beans, mashed potatoes, veggies, cole slaw, and a dessert. I had the BBQ plate of chicken and pulled pork and enjoyed it a lot. Live music was provided by the Bryce Canyon Wranglers that fielded a rotating lineup of keyboards, guitar, bass, male lead vocals, pedal steel guitar, female vocalist, fiddle, and harmonica. These are some serious songwriters and musicians who have collaborated with the Bellamy Brothers, Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Maddie and Tae. Some have appeared on Broadway and television. They entertained us with songs by country music royalty! Hank Williams Marty Robbins , Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie , Glen Campbell , Ronnie Milsap, Johnny cash, Dolly Parton, Kenny Roger's, and George Strait were all represented. It was a night of good clean family entertainment and comfort food.

Getting in late it was the only place open after 9 and it was either buffet style or order off the menu.

One of us got coconut shrimp and the other grilled shrimp and we split them between us. The one bright spot was the shrimp came with a decent amount - 10 coconut and 8 grilled. However the food was quite bad...the shrimp had no flavor, even the coconut one. The fries were horrible. The asparagus was not cooked or even fit to serve.
