Huntsville Barbecue Company

I've been a few times now and I can confirm that I did NOT catch them on a good day the first time.  All days have been good days with this place.

I have eaten BBQ in Arkansas, Missouri (St Louis style and Kansas City style) as well as in southeastern Oklahoma.  I haven't found a place in Utah that came very close to the food from the south, until this place.  Yes it's a small place......welcome to authentic bbq.  This is NOT a chain restaurant that has seating for hundreds of people like Famous Daves or Goodwood would have.  And thank heavens for that because their food puts Goodwood to humiliating shame and it doesn't dominate Famous Daves but it IS noticeably better.

Your condiment and "butter" for the white bread is the bbq sauce and meat remnants.  The bread is there to clean your plate not to be a stand alone side like the broccoli slaw or bbq beans with a dabble of honey butter or some fruit jelly.  Again, welcome to bbq world.

It's frustrating to see people come here expecting it to be like a fast food joint or never having had real bbq so they think it's too eccentric or what-not.  Places like this are few and far between in this part of the country and they deserve our support for doing things the right way.  If BBQ just isn't your thing, don't knock them for that because that's not their fault.  I don't like onions so I stay out of the onion patch.  If you DO like BBQ, come check this place out.  Expect good quality from them and if you don't get it, then review them accordingly.

My ONLY complaint is that they reduce the portion sizes of their family meal deals based on how many are in your party.  In my opinion, the quantity should stay the same because the price does.  I went with 4 people one time and we got 4 ribs.  The next time I went in a party of 3 and we got 3 ribs and smaller pork servings.  We should have had to pay less if they are going to do that.

Meh.... Its Huntsville, where else can you go?

Ate here once and it was amazing. The last 3 times I've tried to go back they have been closed. I know everyone in Ogden valley has those laid back European hours of operation but hot damn! Us city folk want some BBQ at a reasonable hour. Food is 4 stars. Hours of operation is 1.
