Kenny J's BBQ

Absolutely blown away by this BBQ spot. The brisket was top notch, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can tell it was smoked low and slow with real care. Then came the spare ribs… straight 🔥🔥 fall off the bone perfection with just the right balance of smoke and sauce. Portions were generous, everything came out hot and fresh, and the overall vibe made it even better. If you love real BBQ done right, this place is a must try. I will 100 percent be back. Highly recommend.

Before I get into the details, I need to start by saying Kenny knows BBQ. Best BBQ I’ve had in Utah by far. We ordered the family meal for 5-6 people and chose brisket, pulled pork and ribs for the meat options. We got green chile Mac and cheese, baked beans and fries. The best part of the sides are there are multiple to choose from and they are all made from scratch. The bark on the brisket was perfect and the meats were all tender with incredible smoked flavor. No pellets are used, just logs of wood. The owners were incredibly warm and gave us a tour of their smokers. This is a great family owned restaurant that needs to be supported in our community! Lots of seating for large groups or families as well. Give them a try!

The half rack of ribs were so tender the meat literally fell off the bone, and the brisket was delicious. The sweet corn is a must, as well as the funeral potatoes. The mac and cheese was tasty with some heat, but not too much, so it was a perfect side. The staff is super friendly and nice, it was refreshing to feel truly welcomed at an eating establishment. I highly recommend this restaurant for bbq, can’t wait to return and try some more items on the menu.

I’m from Texas so I have been spoiled with the best bbq. So far there’s only two bbq restaurants I like so far one in Draper (ifykyk) and Kenny J’s Brisket 5/5: melt in your mouth tender and juicy I love that they ask if you want moist or lean. Signature sausage 4/5: Smokey, juicy and cheesy. There’s suppose to be some spice. I would like for it to be slightly more charred but that’s just me. Burnt ends 3/5: the sauce was too sweet Signature fries 5/5: loved the seasoning slightly over salted, good fry sauce. Mac n cheese 5/5: this side is a must! Super cheesy and has a little kick Beans 4/5: has good flavor on the sweeter side of the spectrum Bbq sauce 4/5 good can’t complain Service 5/5 friendly staff checked on us Seating is cafeteria style

This place looks really nice inside, very spacious and great for big groups and the customer service was excellent. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match my expectations. Everything was just okay and pricey for what you get. The chopped brisket was the only thing that stood out, but the rest of the plate wasn’t that great. I expected better seasoning. Not the worst BBQ, but definitely not the best in Utah. I’m glad I gave this place a try.
