Having returned to salt Lake for a couple of months, one of the first places I took my husband was SugarHouse and it did not disappoint. I sent him to Q4U with friends and they were disappointed there. He brought home leftovers that were nothing to write home about. My husband has lived in Texas and Oklahoma, and he has had no Q in SLC that measures up, but his money goes to SugarHouse. Still need to try Pat's. On another note, I too have wondered why Scheffler is always giving Z'Tejas a rave. To me, it is a chain, nothing more.

Pats is another place I have on my 'list' to try out. Sounds like I should try Pats over Q4U. Thanks for the info Rod. Pats is another place I have on my ‘list’ to try out.

I've had OK BBQ. I've never had great BBQ. If it wasn't for the personalities of owners, I don't think it would get quite the buzz. There's getting to be too much BBQ in SLC for one person to follow, expecially when I live in Utah Valley. In SLC, I personally like Pat's best. Over the last couple years I've had clients that have taken me to Memphis, Texas, South Carolina and Kansas City along with a few smaller BBQ areas. I've spent probably 30 weeks among them checking out BBQ. I have a pretty good idea of what's conisdered good BBQ. There's not many places that would stay in business in those places. My opinion. Q4U probably for the owners, not the Q. Sugarhouse for the Q probably. Pat's yes. Smokehouse in Orem. Probably. Over the years I’ve had good BBQ at Q4U. I’ve had OK BBQ. I’ve never had great BBQ.
