If heaven was a food, Bam Bams brisket swatchos would be it. We've been coming here for the last five years and swatchos is my favorite dish on the planet. My husband and I always share because we can never finish it by ourselves.
I wish Bam Bams would open another restaurant up in Salt Lake or Davis County and we'd be regular customers! Whenever we come to the Provo area we come to Bam Bams every time. Nick was great this evening and very hospitable! We love the chill atmosphere so we can bring our young kids. (Raising the next generation right with the best BBQ.) Looking at all of the chalk drawings is always fun.
If you have a choice to go to Bam Bams, ALWAYS go to Bam Bams.

We have only eaten here once and we got turkey for thanksgiving. The service was fantastic and fast, and the price was reasonable. The turkey was not great, it was kind of dry and average. Would definitely be willing to try other BBQ here though.
Also when I tried to call ahead their phone seemed to be having issues and they couldn't hear me when I called across two different phones.

#BamBamsBBQ is a local Texas style Barbecue place in Orem. Having Barbecue all over the USA we weren’t sure how they’d rank. Overall they were pretty good. We did take out as we were bringing food home to Mum. The two sides were excellent. We ordered a pint of each which was a good amount for three of us, with leftovers. The #PotatoSalad had a strong dill pickle flavor which was great to cut thru the rich meats. My husband really enjoyed it too. The #Coleslaw is more vinegar based, less creamy than some purveyors, which is my preference. The slaw had great flavor, often #BBQ coleslaws are lacking, to me, But not Bam Bams. For meats we went with three choices, a half pound each, which was enough for three of us with some leftover. #PorkRibs had good flavor and smoke, but skimpy on the meat. The #brisket had great bark, which I loved, and was moist and tasty. We went with the more fatty brisket portion, as that is where the flavor is. The #PulledPork was gorgeous. Good amount of fat and smoky flavor. I loved seeing the worker take a slab of luscious pork and pull it fresh. The three sauces were all unique and tasty. The more sweet one was molasses based which gave it great deep, sweet flavor. The more vinegar one had nice acid to it. And then the third sauce was tangy, sweet and was a favorite as it tasted more unique, Kind of a cross of the other two. Really I was surprised with how good Bam Bams BBQ was. I look forward to trying more from there.

I had the smoked turkey and loved it. No fries here. I wasn’t a fan of the potato salad. It seemed soupy to me. Baked beans didn’t do much for me either. The meat was great though and that’s what was important. My husband had the brisket and liked it a lot.

Really delicious brisket! We had the brisket, turkey, and mac & cheese. All of it was really good! If forced to choose between the two meats I would pick the brisket over the turkey, but I wouldn't hesitate to order either again.

Best BBQ in Utah I’ve had. Being from Texas, I’ve been told I’m hard to please. They’ve got some good flavor. I went late in the day so the brisket was a little dry, but what can you expect when you stop by at 8pm after the brisket’s likely been done for 8-12 hours?

The BBQ itself is so good. Five stars for the brisket, the turkey, and the pulled pork. The sides really aren't very good. We didn't finish the coleslaw, potato salad, or mac n' cheese even with six of us passing it around to see if anyone wanted it. Meh. Definitely go for the meat and skip the combo.

A bit pricey, but when they bring your food, the smell alone is worth the price. They have a huge variety of foods, and every single one tastes so good!
Would highly recommend for Vegans. Perhaps the sweet smells alone can get them to rethink their decision.
Every bite is worth the price of a whole meal. Go here for sure!

This place was top notch, I walked in with a group of 20 and they had us served so quickly! The meat was fresh and tasty. I loved our brisket, though wish I had gotten a brisket off a sandwich to have more of it. Also wish they had a fry option or tater tots. Overall a great experience and hope to go back eventually.

This place has great BBQ, unfortunately only Pepsi products and the sides are fairly good too(although if your not a huge pickle fan I'd go with something other than the potato salad.. it's good just used a ton of pickle juice obviously). The Mac and cheese is the way to go.. they have 3 different kinds of BBQ sauce. Regular, sweet n tangy and spicy.
