I love all these new fun restaurants that are opening up in the Riverwoods. It really is becoming quite the place to hang out and shop! However, this joint is just ok. It is like any other BBQ joint, not super special. I was impressed that they gave me a ton of brisket in my meal. The BBQ sauces here aren't my favorite. The workers are nice. It was relatively clean. Not much else to say! I didn't hate it, but I don't see myself running back here anytime soon. read more

Best customer service ever. They were very friendly, nice and fast. The food is okay, the ribs don't live up to its expectations when I ordered it. The wings were good and spicy, like very spicy, unexpectedly spicy. The pull pork salad was good, a lot of meat for its price. The atmosphere was classy, I enjoyed my time here read more

R&R BBQ - Pulled Pork - Barbeque Near Me - Provo, Utah

My previous review was two stars because of the spider in my friends Salad. Today I lower it to one star as my gluten free lunch box (to go) had a giant roll in it and zero BBQ sauce. After three bad experiences at this location, I will not be going back. read more

10/10 We walked all around the mall deciding which place to eat at(from out of town). Literally the smell alone was just immaculate. Manager even came out to just meet us at our table. Food was fantastic. Definitely recommend the brisket with anything. Best I've had in a long long time. read more

Great smoked wings at all the locations! Eat more brisket. Sides were good as well.!!

I'm pleased with the management changes at this Provo location. The food quality had been somewhat inconsistent over the past six months. I had recently expressed my disappointment and local management immediately reached out and heard my concerns. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

R&R BBQ - Brisket salad - Barbeque Near Me - Provo, Utah

We brought our friends visiting from St. George for some BBQ. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we walked in by Waymen. He offered to bring us some samples, delicious Smoked pork and chopped brisket while we stood in line. Waymen came over to our table to check on us and to get to know our families better. His genuine hospitality and warmth made us feel like family. I told my wife that Waymen is in the business of making people happy and treated like family. This experience will never be forgotten. He brought out some peach cobbler for the adults and root beer floats for the kids. The BBQ was amazing, Smokey, flavorful, and so tender. Thank you for making our day Waymen. I hope you are recognized for the job you do in making people feel loved. I'm a fan of R&R BBQ! read more

R&R BBQ - The girls needed a pic in front of the R&R sign. - Barbeque Near Me - Provo, Utah

See all

Went to R&R BBQ as we had heard good things. The food was okay, the bbq is just decent, (for sure not the best I have ever had) and the service was pretty bad. First, the day we went in the girl taking orders looked as if she was going to pass out. She had her mask on, but you could tell something was off by her. We tried telling her she may want to go home and we even reached out to a manager, but she said she was fine (which she for sure was not). There were 8 of us and we wanted to order dinners and we had to repeat ourselves multiple times for the girl taking our order to understand what we were saying. I ordered the 2 meat platter and got a rib on the side. Getting a ride on the side cost $2.50 and you get a really small rib with barely any meat. I do not suggest you do this. The 2 meat platter came with 1 side and hush-puppies. I got brisket and their sausage and for my side I got the coleslaw. If they really gave me brisket (I think it was pulled pork) then it was the worst brisket I have ever had. It was super dry and lacked flavor. Because of COVID they don't do sauce bottles anymore. The Carolina sauce is literally just vinegar, the hot bbq sauce was prob my favorite of the sauces. The Sausage was really good. I liked when you bit into the sausage it popped. If you check in on Yelp you get a free 1/2 order of chicken wings. I really liked the chicken wings. They were cooked perfectly and I ordered them plain and they were juicy and delicious. Others at my table also mentioned the brisket was pretty bad and was super dry. I tried the baked beans and again not much flavor in them. Being that I only visit Utah once a year I don't think I will be going back to R&R. The food was just not that good and the service was not great either. They forgot meals and we had to go up to the counter with our receipt to get them. It was just overall a bad meal. I do not recommend this place. read more

Going to give it 4 but it should be 3.5. We found that the brisket is better if you get it chopped up! Pulled pork seemed to satisfy most in my crowd and same with the mac and cheese, well cooked but pretty well and average flavor. Hush puppies have jalapeños in them! Pretty good as well as the baked beans were a great size when they came with the kids meal. The chicken nuggets were decent almost of chick fil a quality with thicker batter! Also highly suggest the baked potato if you are very hungry. read more

Extraordinary food, and even better customer service! Waymen goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make every customer feel welcomed and well served. His energy and enthusiasm is so authentic and uplifting. He's an excellent chef and an excellent host. He recommended me the pulled pork sandwich with the Carolina bbq sauce. Amazing combination! Highly recommend and will be getting again. I come to this restaurant every time I visit Utah. Can't wait to have one in Los Angeles! read more

R&R BBQ - Pulled Pork Sandwich w/ side of fries - Barbeque Near Me - Provo, Utah

Best BBQ!! Always FAST service, & warm tasty food!! My favorite are the BBQ pork tacos & fried pickles. Thanks to Waymen, now I know that the tacos can be ordered in Brisket too! 10/10, will order that next time! Great food, & great customer service. read more

Oh my gosh!! What a flavor!! The meat is so tender and delicious. This is our 3rd year coming to Utah to ski and once again a couple of stops at R&R was part of our itinerary read more

R&R BBQ - Brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Provo, Utah

I came here last month while on a road trip with my family and it was one of the best places we ate during our vacation. Why? Well a: the food is great and not expensive, b: staff is lovely, and also can we recognize Waymen?! That man makes you feel so welcome and brightens up anyone's day. We left with full bellies and in great spirits. We will visit Provo and R&R again in the future for sure. read more

Easy, fast, delicious! Had the pulled pork sandwich on the local made bun and it was fantastic. Also a side of chopped brisket that was great! Now BBQ is only as good as your sauce and they've got good sauce. The Carolina sauce in the pulled pork sandwich took me straight back to my days in North Carolina eating east carolina style bbq. Loved it! The original sauce is great and if you like sweet or spicy they have that too! Unfortunately they ran out of potato salad so I ended up getting the mashed potatoes which were good. I want to try the sweet potato fries (love sweet potato fries) and the hush puppies (North Carolina staple)! Tip: get coleslaw on your pulled pork sand which and try the Carolina sauce. Trust me. Clean inside. Didn't use the bathroom. Friendly service. I'll be back. read more

Very disappointed with this place! We just moved here and was looking forward to trying good looking bbq. We placed an order over the phone, this place is 20 min from us. We drove to get the order and when we arrive they told us they don't take cash, which should have been specified over the phone. We drove fir 15 min trying to find a bank which was another 15 min from the restaurant. We called and asked if they would make our food fresh because we don't want soggy nacho, tacos, fries, or burger buns... but they just told us no we will cancel your order. So we were left with 5 very hungry kids in the car at 745 pm on a school night, trying to find something else to eat. I really wish I could comment on the food, but I give it a 1 on customer service and the only reason I'm giving it a one is because they were polite when taking our big order. read more

I usually never veer from my normal which is brisket and ribs. But I thought I would be different for once and order something different so I got the pulled pork. I love the house sauce, the roll and I love the coleslaw (just the right amount of cooling for the mild heat of the sauce) but to my dismay the pulled pork was so dry, even after I doused it in sauce. So, three stars for that, but I've had 4 star experiences before! read more

I ordered on a recommendation of a neighbor, and I must say I was thoroughly underwhelmed. The banana pudding was made with green bananas and was overall flavorless. Their peach cobbler was quite possibly the worst thing I've ever eaten. If I had to guess why, I would venture that they used baking powder instead flour. Their fried pickles weren't very crispy and the pork nachos were a little too salty for my taste. read more

This place was awful. Food was not good. Cold. They forgot half our order and we had to go ask for it and they said we didn't order what was missing. Once they looked up the order they found out they were wrong but never apologized for the accusation and not giving us the food we paid for. I even asked if we could get a free dessert for having to wait and they said no. But honestly the worst part about this place is how over priced it is. I'm from Arizona and we have an amazing BBQ place in Gilbert where the food is waayyyy better than this place and way cheaper. You DO NOT get what you pay for here. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Tried the bbq brisket tacos for the first time and they were great! And we sat inside the restaurant, which is really nice now that things are warming up!! read more

great food. i was surprised how much i liked it and im not a big bbq fan.

For me Brisket is the main item that a bbq joint should be judged on, unfortunately the brisket missed the mark, at least on this day. It was really dry. :( I got the 3 meat plate, and everything else was pretty good, unfortunately the dry brisket takes it down a couple of stars. Great service keeps my opinion at a strong 3. I would not recommend the peach cobbler. I don't think it is a very popular item, and it tastes that way. It's also very small for the price read more

Service is great, get the chicken it slaps. I didn't like the Mac n cheese though, hush puppies were good.

R&R hooked us up and we gave them a second chance. We went on a Saturday night again, this time at around 6pm. The customer service was eons better--actual smiles and a welcoming tone to greet us, food came out on time. Husband and I both got 2 meat plates--brisket on both, sausage on mine, and pulled pork on his--and we both got fried okra sides and peach cobblers with ice cream for dessert. I did think it was a little crazy that our total came out to $51 for two meals and two desserts. Still think the place is a liiiiiittle bit overpriced, but what can I really do about that. We got our food and the brisket was much better than the last time. I still think their brisket isn't as moist as it could be, but the pieces that are connected to fat are good. The just brisket pieces feel drier. The sausage was really good!! I'll definitely get that again. Hush puppies are always consistently good. Sauces I still think need a little work, but that might just be me. The beer batter of the okra is super good, but it does fall off the okra way too easily in my opinion, so you pretty much just end up getting okra and then you're left with a heap of breadcrumbs at the bottom lol. The peach cobbler and ice cream is great! I think I personally prefer the banana pudding though. Maybe there wasn't enough ice cream for the amount of warm cobbler. Waymen was there again and was doing his thing being fantastic with the customers. We always look forward to seeing him there :) Much better experience this time around! Will come back for sausage, fried okra (because I'm just addicted to it in general), and banana pudding read more

While the price to food ratio could be better, R&R is absolutely delicious. I just had it again recently as a catering order and I loved the brisket and pork. read more

Yum yum yum!!! Loaded baked potato tasted delicious and everyone that worked there was very friendly!!!!

These guys are great! The manager really will bend backwards for you if you ask him to fix any issue you're having! Wonderful customer service and that coke machine makes drinks that taste clean and fresh! Good atmosphere overall and friendly workers! read more

First time trying it. Between price, quantity, and quality I'd give it 3 stars. The main reason is regarding the quality mainly and secondary quantity. The meat itself was a bit on the dry side. The sauces here are pretty watery instead of a thicker sauce making it harder to apply better. The sauces didn't have much variety of difference between them with none really standing out as excellent. The pull pork sandwich bread itself was generic in quality and the veggies used seemed to be on the cheaper end. The Mac and cheese was pretty generic with a lack of flavor and slightly over cooked noodles. Regarding quantity in comparison to other similar prices bbq in the area the portions were slightly smaller. read more

I have eaten at plenty of R&R's across the state and this Provo location pretty much is standard for an R&R. Let me give you the lowdown on the positives and negatives with this bbq joint. First, the food is pretty good. I really enjoy their chicken sandwich and their bbq sauces. They are honestly very good. I also like the Mac and cheese and their hush puppies. As far as Utah bbq goes, you aren't going to find much better. Why does it only get 3 stars then? Let me tell you about the downfall of R&R. 1. They are not quick. If there is much of a line expect to wait for quite a while. Tonight I waited for about 20-25 mins simply to order. It wasn't even that crowded. This has also been a common occurrence across all R&R's. 2. They are awful at getting you your hot sides. I have ordered onion rings about 15 different times and each time they take till I've already finished my food to get me my onion rings. Tonight was no different. All my food came out and then I waited for about 10 minutes till I got my rings. PLEASE FIX THIS!! I want to eat my sides with my meal. 3. If you go you will smell like meats. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but you will leave smelling like R&R. Overall good food, but I wish they'd fix their ordering system. Going forward I will only be ordering take out or using DoorDash. That way I can avoid the headaches. read more

I've experienced the pros and cons of R&R multiple times now which helps me feel like a can leave a fair review. First things first, most of their locations are relatively new and it shows. Each time I've been, you can tell they are working out kinks (i.e. no syrup in the soda machine or the fact that my mac and cheese didn't come out with my order and we had to go ask them about it after we'd eaten all our food). I've heard about the later of these two cons happening to other friends and family members too but I have faith they'll work it out. I am also not a fan of their ordering system. I hate waiting in line to order and then having to wait for my food too. Every time I've been to an R&R, there's been quite a bit of waiting and the line always seems to move pretty slow. Their friendly employees always make up for it though with their kindness. With all that being said, I LOVE their food. Their BBQ is comparable to lots of other places but their more unique items like their award winning brisket tacos are out of this world!! Their nachos are HUGE and their sides are very tasty. Their bbq sauces are also unique and really flavorful. I will say their menu items can start getting a little pricey if you're wanting to try sides with your meal (especially the brisket tacos) but the food is quality and I do love the atmosphere and branding. Will be back! read more

Walked by this place once before and the smoke smell was awesome so next date night we gave it a try and WOW I was impressed...It was clean,well staffed and just inviting..We felt like appetizers so we ordered up the pork nachos and some fried pickles...Order arrived at table super fast and looked awesome...The cheese sauce is dynamite and pork was cooked up perfectly...the fried pickles are sliced like fried pickles are supposed to be but the ranch was a little too watery and did lack that ranch flavor needed for pickles but over all an awesome experience and we are looking forward to going back....GREAT JOB... read more

Absolutely the best BBQ I've ever had. Best meat in my opinion is the brisket, get it chopped and you won't regret it. You can get hushpuppies instead of the roll which is awesome some. Red beans and rice is great. There's really nothing wrong to get here. I'm stoked we finally have one in Provo. read more

The food was affordable and the staff very friendly. The place was fairly empty and that should've been my first clue. The brisket was rather dry in the room temperature. Had a good smoke flavor but my guess is that it had sat around a while. I bet if you get here at the right time it's very very good. read more

R&R BBQ has been my go to BBQ joint in Utah. Their food is high quality and very consistent. I love the brisket, boneless chicken, and ribs for the meats. The red beans and rice are killer and the peach cobbler is awesome. Customer service is usually pretty friendly. I've had a couple minor mess-ups out of the several times I have been there, and they were really happy to correct any issue. I will continue to go back because their food and service are great. read more

If you like fatty pulled pork and don't mind being charged an extra $5.00 for them to tell you it is brisket - this might work for you. They add an extra charge for brisket and if you want a side. There are much better BBQ places and they won't lie to you read more

The meat here is so good. I always get the pork pulled sandwiches with coleslaw. It's to DIE FOR! They cook it perfectly. Always happy with the customer service too! The cashier tonight was super helpful and nice. Waymen is super friendly as well and is always on top of it. You can tell he cares about the customer's needs!! If you're looking for some good BBQ to enjoy with family & friends, R&R is the place to go!! read more

R&R BBQ - Pulled Pork Sandwiches - Barbeque Near Me - Provo, Utah

This place was a good, fast, & delicious! The service was great! They just opened up this location, so I expected a few hiccups-but didn't get any. We had a wonderful experience. read more

Sometimes the sides outshine the main course! Today I got brisket, chicken, hush puppies and mashed potatoes. Hush puppies: Best I've ever had. I've had them nice and soft on the inside, but I never knew could be so *perfectly* crispy on the outside. They also didn't have any the little hard bits of corn meal that are usually found in hush puppies (I hate accidentally chomping down on those!) Mashed potatoes: Real! I love that they leave the skins on. I like the subtle flavor it adds. Brisket: I asked for marbled and I got it just the way I like it. Tender, moist (not even a hint of dryness), and tasty. Nothing I'm going to rave about, but there wasn't a single flaw about it; just done right. Chicken: This is where I get to the down side. It was so salty I could hardly think about its underlying flavor, which is unfortunate because I think it was pretty good. My lips burned (just slightly) with every bite. Overall a good experience! read more

We have gone to eat here several different times. My family & I absolutely LOVE the food here!!! Especially the chicken wings & the creamed corn. There is a black American that works there that is absolutely the best customer service provider we have ever come in contact with. We will continue to eat here not just because the service is amazing but because the food us absolutely delicious & you don't have to wait forever to get your order. Only downside was the young lady at the register that seemed offended that I didn't leave a tip when I came to pick up my to go order after she was very snooty to my husband. read more

This place is horrible, i came on my lunch break with limited time, ordered my food and after 20 minutes i asked when it would be ready, they completely forgot my order and then were rude when they realized they made a mistake. The food was dry and bad too. Horrible customer service. read more

All right as a teacher I am so appreciative to this company for having a day where they provided lunch for free for teachers returning to the classroom.. What makes this even more astounding is the great quality of the food in the hospitality and the hospitality of their waiters and servers. At this time it is much appreciated and allowed Teachers to feel appreciated. Kudos to the management! read more
