These 17 BBQ Joints in Utah Will Make Your Mouth Water
Winter seems to me like the perfect time to enjoy BBQ…you sit in a cozy, warm shop, full of the smells of spicy, sweet sauce and savory meats. Here are some of the best BBQ joints in the state. To compile this list, I relied on consumer review sites such as Yelp!, TripAdvisor and Google Reviews. It’s not a comprehensive list…I can’t possibly include ALL of the wonderful BBQ joints here. These are NOT ranked — they’re listed alphabetically.
