BBQ Restaurants in Utah
When Guy Fieri rolled into the Beehive State with his signature Camaro, he uncovered a hidden gem that proves Utah knows a thing or two about smoking meat. Since 2009, Triple D has spotlighted the barbecue scene in Salt Lake City, introducing viewers to pitmasters who pour their hearts into every rack and brisket.
Leading the pack is Pat’s BBQ in Salt Lake City, a 4-star destination that earned its stripes with authentic slow-smoked flavors that had Guy reaching for seconds. This beloved joint represents the best of Utah’s growing barbecue culture, where traditional techniques meet Western hospitality.
While Utah may not be the first state that comes to mind when you think championship barbecue, the restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives tell a different story. With one standout establishment still serving up those same crave-worthy dishes that caught Guy’s attention, Salt Lake City continues to prove that great barbecue knows no boundaries. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, these Triple D-approved spots deliver the real deal.
