SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Barbecue is best known as a Southern cuisine. Not any more. Salt Lake City boasts one of the best barbecue spots in the West with Pat’s Barbecue.
Their large array of meats melt in your mouth while captivating your tongue with an array of different flavors for your taste buds to capture. Their cornbread crumbles as you bite into it leaving you with a sweet, dessert-like taste.
Meat That Falls Off The Bone
The team at Pat’s are as friendly as you will find in the hospitality industry. When you arrive, you are welcomed and asked whether you would like to sit inside or out. I chose to sit outside and share my experience with the breeze.
The menu at Pat’s is extensive and gives you a large variety of meats to choose from.
Their most famous dish is the meatloaf, but they also offer pork ribs, smoked sausage, beef brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken and nachos.

Family Style, For One
Shortly after I sat down I was welcomed with the Pat’s Family Style dish. I was bombarded with ribs, smoked chicken, pulled pork and sausage.
The ribs fall off the bone and have a crunchy ceiling. While the smoked chicken is juicy and full of flavor. The pulled pork melts in your mouth and the sausage has perfect crunchy skin and a soft and savory inside.
They have a number of chef’s working around the clock to make sure the meat they serve matches the barbecue you find in the South. I assure you, everything you eat at Pat’s will have you wanting more, no matter how full you may feel.
