    Ribs, pulled pork, chicken, burnt ends
    McKenzie M.

    We stopped in on our way to bear lake and were blown away by the excellent service and easily the best bbq I've ever had at a restaurant. The burnt ends were the star of the show with their crispy bark and tender center that literally melts in your mouth. Topped with hot honey made these beauties absolute perfection. The pulled pork was so tender and moist, we had to get another order because the kids gobbled it down. Don't sleep on the cheesy potatoes either, they were packed with smoky flavor and soft but still had a snap when you bite into them. The owner was so kind and showed me his off-set and explained the woods he uses and entire process. He made recommendations and took the time to visit with us and make us feel welcome. I also was blown away at how fast the food came out, from the time we ordered until it arrived at our table was less than 10 minutes for a giant sample platter. Just go, you absolutely are missing out if you don't. Wish we lived closer to become regulars.

    Ambiance. Very well renovated and clean. Service. The staff was so nice! The owner came up and talked to us too. Food. Pulled pork was so good. Love the waffle fries. And the donut was delicious!

    Yummy fried pickles, smoked cheesy potatoes and awesome baked beans along with the triple meat sampler!

    What a great find. On our way back from East Canyon. Awesome not overly sauced barbecue. Met the owner and he was so down to earth and genuine and really takes pride in his barbecue. Such a great find and the sides were awesome too. The only thing missing is a good beer to go with it but he's working on that for his license down the road lol.

    Good smoke fired pizza. Service was great and was not very crowded. It was pretty quiet and had an up style look.

    Finally able to find time on a Friday early lunch. They're normally only open on Friday's from 10am…read moreto 2pm or when the food runs out. Have to watch facebook to see when they're going to be serving food. This is a food truck located in the Clearfield industrial park. Look for row F bldg 13, row F is west of where GPS takes you. Once you find Bldg F13 they're located across the street to the east at the back of the parking lot. I didn't see them at first as there is a taco truck at the front end of the parking lot and parked cars in the way. But they are there if you look. I tried the 3 meet plate as I wanted to get a variety to try. They were already out of burnt ends, they tell me they're great. Ribs, very good, tender with good flavor. It's a dry rub but you can add hot or reg bbq sauce. I preferred the flavor of the regular. The hot was not very hot but I liked the regular flavor better. Comes with two meaty ribs. 5/5 Jalapeño sausage, just okay, not spicy. 3/5 Candied pork belly, excellent flavor. 4/5 Cornbread, amazing, soft and moist, best bbq cornbread I've had. 5/5 Funeral potatoes, were good. 3/5

    Its good BBQ for utah. Probably the best brisket I've had in Utah…read more The ribs were not as tender as they should be. The pulled pork had a sauce I didn't really care for. The sausage was just ok. Ill go back but it's not Texas BBQ that I miss so dearly.

    Wonderful spot with wonderful food! Would highly recommend. The view alone is worth a stop in!…read more Staff was super friendly our servers Devin, Matana, and the manager Scott all made us feel right at home with some great food recommendations. Stroganoff is amazing if you are a fan. My mom had the fried chicken and the fried shrimp were a great start to the meal. Ended with a great oatmeal berry crisp with vanilla ice cream!

    I'm going to start with the biggest factor in a so-so review: The prices…read more Finding the restaurant on Yelp, I noticed that, in addition to the positive reviews, the prices seemed reasonable. They were not; they were actually 50% or more higher at the restaurant. The hamburger that was showing on Yelp for $15 was actually $22. The Steak Frites advertised for $22 were $35. I understand inflation, but this was a gross enough difference that it borders on deception, in my opinion. I also had a bad experience with my food: I ordered a cup of their chili (which they claim is made from scratch, on-site) and it was brought to the table cold. Like, "right out of a can" cold. Kelsi, our fantastic server, returned it to the kitchen where (I presume) they nuked it and brought it back. It was heated, but not very tasty. Flat; under-seasoned; mushy textured. Definitely something I'd never order again. Many reviews say the atmosphere is "loud" but what they mean is, it's "LOUD". We were seated inside, and it was nearly impossible for the three of us to converse. The acoustics are not great. Enough cons; how about some pros? My burger was FANTASTIC! piled high with caramelized onions and pastrami, but beef patty tasted like it'd just come off a charcoal grill. Terrific flavor in every bite. (The parmesan fries were tasty, too, but a little on the soggy side.) My dining partners each had a salad (one 'wedge' and one 'beetroot') and both were well-prepared and generously portioned. And, finally, the staff, the location, the vibe: All really first-rate. I'll probably come back, if I ever recover from the bait'n'switch sticker shock. (But I'll steer clear of the chili and opt to dine on the patio, if that's available!)
