We ate dinner at R&R tonight and it was absolutely amazing!! We’ve been there a few times now and the service is always fabulous. We tried the nachos and they were delicious. They make their chips and queso in house so it tasted really fresh. We will definitely be back.

Dinner at R&R BBQ was good. In typical BBQ tradition you order at the counter then you take your number and find your seat. They bring the food to you, which often means it comes when ready and not all at once. They were out of a few menu items when we were there so had to go with second choices. My Mum ordered the #CheeseBurger that comes with a 7 oz. smoked patty, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. She chose the #SweetPotatoFries as her side. The Fries are very well done. Good seasoning and sweetness, loved the crispness. My husband ordered the Half Rack #Rib Plate with a side of #MacAndCheese the mac is cheddar forward and very cheesy, a delicious side. He opted for the roll over the hush puppies as he’s not a fan but the roll was small and uneventful. The Ribs were nice and meaty. the meat was tender and moist he enjoyed the Carolina sauce with his meat. I ordered the #ThreeMeatPlate as I wanted to try multiple meats. Unfortunately they were out of the chicken thigh so I opted for the Angus Beef #Brisket #PulledPork and the #SpicyAndouilleSausage the Brisket was nice, moist, decent flavor but not as good as some I’ve had. The pulled Pork was ok too the Sausage was nice and spicy with a lot of smoke. I enjoyed tasting all the sauces with my meats. In order of favorite: I loved their limited edition #CarolinaGold BBQ sauce next I liked the #LessSweetMoreHeat BBQ Sauce. It had a nice mix of Tabasco and vinegar. The #OriginalBBQSauce was ok and the #SweetBBQSauce was least favorite. But all the sauces were good. For my Side option I wanted to try their potato salad but they were out so I tried the #Coleslaw it was a typical cream based coleslaw without a lot of flavor so I added some of their sauce to it which made it better. I’m not usually a fan of hush puppies but R&R BBQ’s are very good. Nice sweet corn bread with green chilies bites, deep fried. The balls were moist and the chilies really added lovely flavor to their #HushPuppies Unfortunately we learned they no longer sale Beer, which was one of the reasons we chose it, oh well, Utah Valley. We did enjoy their unlimited beverage bar, #RedCreamSoda with #dietDrPepper became my beverage choice. Overall R&R BBQ was a good meal with nice clean tables and nice atmosphere.

The service was incredibly fast and the food tasted great. I'd definitely recommend the brisket nachos or the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese. We were able to order immediately after we walked in at 6:30 on a Friday. We'll definitely be visiting R&R again.

First time trying R&R- and WOW, we’re big fans!! We got the three meat plate and loaded baked potato. I think the meat plates are a great deal because you get meat, a side, and hush puppies (fried corn bread). The meat was all cooked perfectly and the baked beans were fantastic. Truly yummy and we’ll be back.

We love the food here! The meat portions are big and it is sliced right in front of you. My husband loves the brisket, my kids love the pulled pork, and I'm a fan of the smoked burgers. I love all the different types of bbq sauces they have too.

All of the food that was ordered was amazing! Every piece of meat is smoked wether if it’s chicken, pork, or beef! Service was quick and they have soda fountains for your choice of drink! On the tables they had paper towels with 4 different choices of BBQ sauce.

I love R&R BBQ. You won’t regret coming here. I got the caveman burger, and it was awesome! For the side, I got the mac & cheese, but would get fries or mashed potatoes next time. This location has lots of seating and free parking. Everything here is good.

Phenomenal service, phenomenal food. All the workers are so kind and fun, and we love coming here for lunch! They have excellent daily specials, and the meats are seasoned and cooked to perfect. We LOVE the nachos!! I highly recommend R&R barbecue.
