    Bbq sampler.  Chopped brisket, pulled pork, sausage, coleslaw and beans.
    Joshua B.

    Great BBQ! We're glad to have found this spot in Page as we frequently travel through there on our way to adventure through the desert. Food was fast. Meat was tender. Sauce was plentiful. The beans were so incredibly delicious! They have an outdoor stage for live music which would be fun to catch when we're back. They also had a great outdoor seating pavilion with misters at full blast to keep us all cool in the heat. Made it real fun for the kids! 10/10 would recommend. 4/5 stars only because we had just stopped at Maverick and got Slushees for the kids, and a member of staff said they do not allow outside drinks. We explained that they'd melt and we were hoping for a little flexibility, but the staff member firmly repeated herself that they do not allow outside drinks. So we had to put them in the car to melt. Disappointing interaction but overall great food and good vibe!

    Great service and thw cornbread was fantastic. It was more of a corn muffin cupcake. I added honey and it didn't really need it. This is a cute place that had lines out thw door thw night before. We caught a meal there for lunch and being from KC, the BBQ was good. They smoke it out front and the sweet BBQ sauce was my favorite out of the 3 choices.

    Had a great lunch here! We sat outside and there were misters to keep cool. The food was great, ribs were falling off the bone. Kat was an amazing server and gave us recommendations of things to do in the area!

    This is 3 orders of cornbread!  The waiter gave to the table instead of to each person who ordered.

    So this place has great BBQ meat but that's it! Their sides are sub par and just as expensive. I asked waiter if it was really Kraft Mac and Cheese. He said yes it's the kind in a bag that you microwave! Crazy because as good as the BBQ is they should spend some time making good sides from scratch. We ordered the combo plate. The Coleslaw was ok. Brisket was great. Ribs were good. Pulled pork was a little fatty for me. Wine in a plastic cup. $52.00 all in for one combo plate, wine, and one beer. Also our party ordered cornbread and the waiter who was quite curt brought all three orders on one plate with the 3 muffins which confused the table. This was three orders. Waiter should have been friendlier when they automatically add tip since we were a party of 8. He was very impatient. Not cool.

    As I was driving through Arizona, I stumbled upon this lovely BBQ. The atmosphere was really nice there and I immediately noticed the lovely smell coming from their massive grill outside. As I sat down, I waited for like 10 minutes until I got my menu because the waiters were kind of busy but some were just standing around doing nothing. Otherwise, the food came fairly quickly, it was delicious, I liked the brisket sandwich the most and with their sweet sauce it was very delicious! I quenched it down with Mountain Dew. I really like this restaurant, would recommend if you are nearby!

    I drop here every time I come to Page. Bbq plate comes out in about 2 minutes. Live music outside is fun. Food is a solid 4.

    Wonderful place to get some Texas' style barbecue. They have inside and outside seating to enjoy their scrumptious varieties of BBQ. We ordered the sample plate to have a taste of all the smoked meats ranging from ribs, pulled pork, brisket and spicy sausage(just a little kick). Also came with baked beans and choice of coleslaw or potato salads. Everything is to perfection. services were great and friendly.

    While driving through Page to look for food, it's hard to miss Big John's Texas BBQ as they have their big smokers out front. After a long day of hiking, we stopped in for dinner and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table inside (they had a covered outdoor area with no wait). The service was quick and very hospitable. Inside felt like a locals-only bbq spot and I really liked the overall family-feel. We shared the sampler platter which was plenty of food for the both of us and at a great deal too! Everything was pretty good and I really liked the pulled pork. With the added bbq sauce on the side, you can't go wrong with any of the cuts of meat. We also finished with some peach cobbler which my gf really enjoyed. All in all this is a great local bbq spot to check-out when in Page!

    I like how they have a good portion sized plate of everything so I can try multiple things. Pork rib is a little dry and I don't like how the brisket is served shredded. Sausage and pulled pork are normal. Potato salad and cole slaw are okay. Apple cobbler with vanilla is good but a little too sweet. It's pretty nice that they have like 14 flavors of ice cream and they change daily. Food comes out pretty quick.

    We were here for dinner, the place is easy to find and has private parking. Also you can choose to dine outside. We choose to stay inside. We over ordered, he got one pound flank beaf and i got the full rack of rib! And it's come out instantly as it has been cook or smoking for the whole day. I think the rib is better than the beaf, full of smoking flavor, even i ate 6 bones that's half a rack! Service is great, we packed the leftover and she also packed us with small container of bbq sauce! There are two huge smoker outside the restaurant make the place very authentic! Love it!

    We stopped here after a long day of hiking and it did not disappoint. We went between the lunch and dinner hour so there was no wait. The food was good and pricing fair. The ambiance provide a nice place to sit and eat and enjoy the live music. We ordered take-out. I like that you can get a sampler of all their meats including ribs so you can try everything. Next time!

    Peach cobbler with ice cream

    Such friendly service and great ribs! Outside of the establishment already lures you in because of the huge smoky grills in the front that smell amazing! They offer three different bbq sauces: spicy, original, and sweet. All three are heavy in fresh pepper, especially the sweet bbq sauce. The original is more tangy. Spicy baked beans are more savory so you can add more bbq sauce to this if that's your preference. It had chunks of brisket ends inside of it and was great! Ribs was the perfect texture of chew! I don't like it when it's too soft and falls off the bone but this one had a great bite to it. They taste great on their own but of course I like slathering them in the sauces they provide at the table. A roll of paper towels are provided on every table Inside is Texas themed and eve has an ice cream display of different tubs like cotton candy and bubble gum ice cream. There were also a few games at the front area. For the peach cobbler, they were very generous with the ice cream portion which was the perfect ratio to the cobbler.

    The sampler
    Kevin H.

    The waiter here was really nice. We got the sampler and the full rack of ribs! When we went, there was no wait. You sit down, waiter comes, and you make your order. I really enjoyed the sampler and would come again for it! This is a family friendly place. People bring their kids and family.

    Full rack if baby back ribs were moist and tender .... highly recommend!

    I took a short weekend trip to Page and we only had time for one meal. While Page isn't a huge…read moretown, a couple of spots were in contention. We decided on Gone West Family Restaurant based on their solid reviews and we thought that American food (especially with a Western theme) would be the way to go. When in Rome! We stopped by on a Saturday evening for dinner. Parking is easy in the complimentary lot they share with several other businesses including a Chinese restaurant right next door. Ambiance (4.5/5): Pretty much what I was hoping for. Gone West is a spacious restaurant with one large dining room and another large dining room. The difference? The one in the back has a stage where they play live music. So, if you want a quieter atmosphere, choose the first room. If you want to enjoy some live music while you dine and drink, choose the back room. We sat in the back room. A band played various covers while we were there which we enjoyed. The decor is also awesome with a lot of Western and country decor including John Wayne, Johnny Cash, and more. Service (4/5): The hostess was super nice and accommodating which was a nice way to kick off the experience. Our waiter was pretty solid. He could have stopped by a little more frequently, but overall, did quite well. Drinks (4/5): I went with an Arnold Palmer (they only had pink lemonade unfortunately) so not a lot to right home about. With that being said, they have a decent beer list and several cocktails. Food (5/5): I went with the Chicken fried steak sandwich with spiral fries. CFS on a sandwich?! I couldn't say no. Country fried steak is one of my favorite Southern dishes, but I've never had it on a sandwich before. Check out their concept: breaded steak on a bed of mashed potatoes topped with green onions, gravy, and a fried egg with your choice of side. This was a great sammie! It was quite messy, but given how delicious it was, I didn't mind. The fries were delicious too, and it was a generous portion. The type of portion where you can easily have leftovers. Everything I was hoping for and more in this dining experience. While the food options in Page aren't vast (and as impressive as larger cities), Gone West should be at the top of your list!

Little bits of beef. Too many green bell peppers. Just right amount of carrots and yam noodles. Served atop rice. A meal in itself. I'd been wanting to try a Korean corn dog but didn't want to pay Bay Area prices. So I ordered one here. It came laced with ketchup & mustard. I was already content with my japchae bap so I only ate half. But I'll give it a try when I get back home for comparison. The business is run by a Korean couple. The wife came out of the kitchen to ask us if we enjoyed the food. Of course we did. They are transplants from Los Angeles. Who knew there'd be an authentic Korean restaurant here. Located in a strip mall with Safeway as the anchor. P.S. we bought a egg & tuna gimbap rolls for later. We had it the next day. Still very good.
