Coming from Texas, I have high standards for bbq. But Guy, from Triple D, knows good food so we decided to check out Pat's while in town. We were not disappointed! The ribs were falling off the bones, juicy, and the flavor was just right! The service was also wonderful, and we will definitely be back the next time we are in SLC.
Mine and my families first time going today, I learned of this place thanks to a Groupons voucher that I purchased and I’m not disappointed. Food was great, the staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. My mother and grandmother got the ribs and they used the two sauces on the table (the hot sauce & the sweet sauce) they both said it was very delicious, one of the best sauces they ever had, grandma said the sweet sauce was perfect, not too much sweet or too little. I got the pork pulled nachos and they were delicious. We all got corn bread and liked it! My grandpa loved the coleslaw. Everyone in my group said they would definitely be willing to go back! :)
I am super glad I visited this spot! The food was delicious! The services was great! The atmosphere was awesome. I went on a Saturday and it wasn’t too packed and they had live music. The quesadilla was delish and the sandwich was good. Definitely recommend.
Unequivocally the best smoked meat in the state. I think Bam Bams in Orem comes close, but Pats has always held the #1 spot for my taste. Pats is also the only one I’m aware of that knows what a burnt end is (instead of trying to manufacture something totally different like SH).
Pats dry rub is solid, and the meat is always good without any sauce. I don’t care for any of Pats sauces. I wonder how they would react if I walked in with a bottle of Bryant’s
4.6 Stars, First time at this location, normally hit the OG spot. The BBQ here was pretty good. Dare I saw perhaps better than the OG spot. Tried the 3 meat plate, burnt ends, smoked chicken, and sausage. Until ends were tasty and juicy, maybe a bit to fatty but still great. Smoked chicken was good, slightly dry for me but good. The sausage link, here i got a whole link as you should, I remember,my last visit to the OG spot I only got a half link, anyways it was pretty good flavor. Ordered 3 sides, ended up with only 2 and did not notice until after I left. Mac and cheese was ok, little waterery needs more flavor. The collard greens had some flavor, and were cooked perfect. Never received my jambalaya and did not even notice, so I must have enjoyed my lunch overall. Ice tea was a little too diluted, its BBQ should be stronger like in the south.

Sweet baby Pete that's good bbq. Got the family platter. 4 of us weren't enough to finish it off. Came with soooo much food. Special shout out to the ribs. They were perfect.
They have bbq sauce there but I think it is just for looks because the meat was seasoned perfectly. Corn bread had corn pieces in it which was awesome. The baked beans are made with more meat in them. So good.
If you haven't been yet this is one of the best in the valley. Went Thursday during lunch and there was no wait.
Had never been and never heard of Pats but was early for a nearby appointment today (Friday) so stopped in and ordered the Burnt Ends special with Fries, incredible, very generous serving size compared to many places and top notch quality, will definitely be back. Take out service was prompt, professional and quick.
I didn’t like the briskets and the the ribs were dry, cold and not cooked all the way. The sauce was amazing and the ambient is cool
Been going there for over a decade and happy to review. Always delicious and generous servings. Place is clean. Service great. Collard greens are incredible! Sorry for the over due great review!
There's just something about this location that is generally better! I've been here early when there was very few people, and I come during peak live music times. The food and service never disappoint! They say the recipes are the same as the other location, but whatever the reason, it just tastes better here. Even when slammed, the staff is always friendly and helpful. The only less than awesome thing would be their limited immediate parking, but during busy times, you can park in the large lot just to the West.

My best friend and I decided it was time to go meet for lunch somewhere. We are doing the code red challenge and decided to eat the allowed types of foods on the list. We chose Pat's BBQ because they have an excellent Garden salad with your choice of meat topped onto it. The fresh salad whole cherry tomatoes, black olives, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, cucumbers were excellent. The lettuce was cut perfectly it was not bitter at all. They brought out their signature barbecue sauces and of course I have to try the hot BBQ sauce on my salad. It was excellent! I had unsweetened iced tea with lemon. The atmosphere was excellent. A little bit chilly, but with the weather the way it is it's not surprising it would be cold on the inside. We got to how about lunch and chat and still be socially distanced from other people. When we placed our order oh, we were also able to place an order to go for later. Right on cue they have brought out the lunch to go just as we were getting ready to leave.
If you'd asked me 2 years ago, I'd say it was the best. But something's changed since then. The BBQ sauce is a little sweet or very spicy. The brisket we got was half fat (not satisfactory for paying an extra $1.25 than what's advertised on the outdated digital menu of $1.00 additional), but the brisket and pulled pork were very good. The chicken wings didn't go too well with the BBQ meat plates in my opinion, but they worked. The salad was cheap iceberg lettuce mix. The French fries were mediocre. The cornbread was old and only soft for about the size of a quarter and only on the bottom. But the coleslaw (unique) and baked beans were pretty good. If it weren't for the flavor of the brisket and pork, it'd have less stars. Overall it's still good, filling, and decently priced.
