Blatch&#x27;s Backyard BBQ

Well...that didn't suck!…read more Just got into town and was craving some bbq. R&R was the right call. Greeted with a smile and helpful on ordering. Service was quick and great. I always order brisket when trying a new spot out as I believe it's a good gauge to the quality of the cook. My pic doesn't do it justice honestly. It was juicy, tender, and fell apart off the fork. The ribs were awesome as well. The rub was delicious and none of the meat required bbq sauce, although their sauces were all very good as well. I'll definitely come back here next time I'm in town.

Man BBQ is expensive folks, I spent about $30 on a combo plate (that included tip), and it was…read morejust, it was aight. I swear BBQ restaurants and maybe just restaurants in general don't do sides very well. I honestly would just recommend getting the meat platter because the meat is what they specialize in. The employees there are vibin, they messed up on an order between my roommate and I, accidentally gave me ribs as well, so they gave us a side of pulled pork on the house. I think I would've taken it to go. I mean unless you're there from an event with a bunch of people, it's definitely designed to be more of a social place.

The restaurant is located inside a food hall with several other food vendors, and there was plenty of parking available, which was convenient. I ordered the Texan brisket sandwich with mac and cheese, along with brisket nachos (not pictured). Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. My entire meal NOT hot nor warm enough to feel freshly prepared. The brisket tasted like it had been sitting for a while--it wasn't fresh, tender, or flavorful like you'd expect from a good BBQ spot. Having visited several great BBQ restaurants over the years, this one just didn't measure up. The one highlight was the cornbread cake, which was actually very good and probably the best part of the meal. Overall, I was really looking forward to trying this place, but it didn't live up to the expectations. Based on this experience, I wouldn't return.

3 Stars - Decent BBQ, But Room for Improvement…read more Pat's Barbecue 155 W Commonwealth Ave. Salt Lake City, UT 84115 Visited: June 18, 2026, around 3:00 PM This was my first time trying Pat's Barbecue while visiting Salt Lake City. We arrived around 3:00 PM and, surprisingly, were literally the only customers in the restaurant. It's a fairly large establishment, so I'm hoping business picks up considerably during the lunch and dinner rushes. Overall, the meal was decent, but it didn't quite live up to expectations. Our order included two Pulled Pork Sandwiches ($12.99 each), a Classic Burger ($16.99) with Pepper Jack Cheese ($1.00) and Onion Rings ($2.49), plus baked beans, jambalaya, and drinks. The total came to $66.55 before tip. The highlight of the meal was definitely the baked beans. They were flavorful, well-seasoned, and probably the best thing on the table. The pulled pork sandwiches were just okay. The pork seemed a little dry and somewhat overcooked, and the buns could definitely be upgraded. A better-quality bun would have gone a long way toward improving the sandwich. The onion rings were disappointing. They tasted overdone and didn't seem particularly fresh. They lacked the crisp, light texture I was hoping for. As for the service, it was not up to par. With no other customers in the restaurant, I expected a little more attentiveness and hospitality. The service wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't memorable in a positive way. In the end, Pat's Barbecue delivered an acceptable meal, but there were enough issues with the food quality and service that I can only give it 3 stars. If I'm back in the area, I might give it another try and see how it compares during a busier time of day, but based on this visit, it was simply average.

We both got their vegan chicken sandwiches - I got the original, and my sister got the Buffalo and we got the Vuture fries and the Buffalo fries as well.

A Place That Fails on Every Level, Safety, Integrity, and Basic Care…read more I've eaten here multiple times and every visit left me, my friends and family feeling physically ill. Why? Because they use cheap low quality canola oil and it shows both on the palate and in the body. But the deeper issue isn't just what's in the food. It's what's rotting beneath the surface. A close friend of mine Brittney (17 and under age in this experience) reached out to the owner to explore a collaborative business opportunity. Instead of professionalism she was met with a shocking invitation to hot tub together. Completely inappropriate and wildly unprofessional. Even more disturbing are the longstanding sexual allegations against kitchen staff he's kept on for years. Employees are routinely fired often for things they didn't do while the owner claims surveillance cameras prove it. Yet those cameras never seem to catch actual wrongdoing. Convenient isn't it. Meanwhile he creates a culture of fear instability and dismissal. People are disposable. Boundaries are not respected whether in the kitchen or in conversation. This isn't just a bad dining experience. This is a pattern of neglect abuse of power and willful ignorance. I urge you support businesses that respect people, employees, customers and community. This is not one of them.

My wife's sweet and sour was a collection of fried dough, the protein indiscernible.

If they're cutting corners this bad, they don't deserve to charge such exorbitant prices.
