About R&R BBQ

R&R BBQ started with a couple of friends, a few smokers and a backyard hobby that turned into a winning streak. After earning dozens of victories in local, regional and national barbecue competitions, the team brought its championship mindset to its first restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City in 2013. Today, R&R BBQ is a leading Mountain West BBQ brand with 12 locations across Utah and Idaho, along with a robust catering program. Its seasoned pitmasters slow-smoke brisket, pork, ribs and chicken using the same original recipes, rubs, sauces and techniques that built its reputation on the competition circuit. In 2018, the brand partnered with Savory Fund to support its continued expansion across the Mountain West while preserving its championship-quality barbecue and authentic roots. Paired with warm, rustic-industrial spaces and blazingly fast, friendly service, R&R BBQ delivers real barbecue done right and is now bringing that same smoke and flavor to Miller Sports + Entertainment locations and events through an exciting new partnership.
