Spero's House of BBQ

As a Texan living outside of Texas, finding real, quality BBQ is nearly impossible. So when my sister and I took a little road trip to Idaho, we decided to give this spot a try. The moment we pulled up, we knew we were in for something special. You can literally see the magic happening out front: rows of smokers going full force, the kind of setup that tells you this isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a craft. And you can definitely tell the owner has been running this place for 16 years, there’s a level of skill, pride, and flavor you just can’t fake. Let me tell you… it did not disappoint. We’re officially obsessed. It’s only two hours from where we live, and we will 100% be making that drive again. The food was so good that after we finished our plates, we immediately went back and ordered

Pulled for for lunch with my child. This place doesn't disappoint. Trucker Special: ½ Rack Smoked Baby Back Ribs, 2x bbq drumsticks, pulled pork, garlic bread, baked beans, and rice for like $20. Al fresco dining, with shady trees, a cold Pepsi, and a bag of chips. Yum. Definitely worth the trip.

For the Italian sausage and my husband got pastrami so so good. Highly recommend and will stop here again. Had to come back and add that the bread pudding is amazing!!

I’m so glad we stopped at Spero’s today! I tried the pulled pork sandwich and the homemade potato salad. My son had a bbq burger and my daughter tried the pulled pork too! The meat was tender and had great flavor. The service was friendly and fast and I loved talking to the owner about her business. We pass through Malad 2-3 times a year and I’m sad we haven’t stopped before! We’ll be back to try the ribs and bread pudding. Thanks for the great meal!

The best option for good bbq lunch on the road trip! Quantity is generous and price very accesible. They have a beautiful patio to enjoy your bbq. Staff is very friendly and they have even tasty dessert!
