This place is LEGIT! So delicious and totally hit the spot. It has a very relaxed feel to it and super casual (which is good when you’re barbarically slurping the last bits of goodness of the ribs you ordered). We ordered the nachos, ribs, coleslaw, potato salad, and Mac n cheese and loved every single bite! We will definitely be going back!
Probably the best BBQ in Utah. Passionate and award-winning owners do it Texas style and do it right. Chill atmosphere with picnic tables and butcher paper. Delicious pulled pork and brisket. Rolls, potato salad, and beans are fantastic. Get a sandwich combo with pepper jack cheese slice. This place is definitely in the regular rotation.
I'm sad to write this review. So many of my friends raved about this place. I was so severely disappointed. I got a brisket sandwich. The brisket was dry. I thought I would at least enjoy my sandwich by covering it in BBQ sauce. They had two lackluster BBQ sauces, neither of which were worth using. I asked what the post popular side was. I was told it was the mac and cheese, so I ordered that. To my horror, they pulled out some cooked noodles and covered it in some watery cheese sauce. It was by far the worst mac and cheese I have ever had. I would have preferred Kraft. Needless to say I'm not going back.
Great bbq overall! Would recommend over r&r any day! Brisket was tender, slightly light on marinade. Turkey was great with the light colored sauce (tangy). Hubby loved the Mac n cheese while I raved over the Coleslaw. And the nachos were so massive we shared but demolished them in 1 sitting. They now what they're doing! Them nachos had the perfect amount of sauce to chip ratio
I've been looking for good barbecue since we moved from Texas four years ago. I finally found it at Bam Bam's! Try the brisket. It has perfect smokey bark on the edges and is juicy and tender. I'll definitely be going back when I'm in the area.
If I go to Bam Bams I go for the brisket (specifically ask for a cut from the point). They've got the best brisket of any BBQ restaurant I've been to in Utah Valley. Prices have gone up quite a bit in the past year, which isn't uncommon for places. I'd say Bam Bams used to have slightly lower than average BBQ prices and they have raised their prices to match other BBQ restaurants, so the price increases feel larger than similar restaurants.The only thing holding Bam Bams back from a 5 star rating is the sides are a bit lack luster. The mac and cheese (additional $$) is the only one I think is quality, the beans and chips aren't great sides. If they had mores side offerings like fries, Texas toast, or mashed potatoes this place would easily be the best BBQ restaurant by a long shot.
Sooooo good, best I've had in Utah. Liked it better than the big names in Kansas City and as good as the few places in Texas I've been. Tasty spot before a BYU game, better get there early.
Excellent service by knowledgeable staff. The brisket and nachos were great. Sides were good, mac and cheese was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend.
Delicious food. Steamy atmosphere. Fairly priced. We tried pulled pork, ribs, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese and beans.
Fun tasty place for BBQ! I loved eating their swachos, you get a lot of meat and food for what you pay.
