My weekend in Austin, Texas converted me to all things barbeque. The tastes, the smells, the experience – I loved it. Since I returned to Utah, I’ve been looking for similar barbeque restaurants to satisfy my craving. Just my luck, Five Star BBQ is a quick drive from my home and I was so excited to try it out with my blogger friends earlier this year.
When I try a new place, I am so unsure of what I want to get! I am loyal to my favorite dishes at my regular restaurants. My blogger buddies and I decided to share a burly sampler and I am so glad we did. Love trying a little bit of everything. From the ribs to the creamed corn to the coleslaw, I definitely filled my BBQ craving.
The star of the night – crisp, fresh coleslaw. Growing up I hated coleslaw – could not stand it. I’ve learned to accept it as an adult. I tried the coleslaw simply because the other bloggers ordered it, but then I wanted it ALL TO MYSELF! I’ve been back to 5 Star BBQ since and the coleslaw is the first thing I order – it is that good! The selection of meats were tasty as well -I was just won over by the coleslaw!
One of my favorite things about 5 Star BBQ is this little fridge of sauces. In my opinion, the sauce can make or break the meat. The wide selection of sauces ensured that I was able to find just the right one for my ribs.
Now, Utah County BBQ fans are in luck because 5 Star BBQ has added evening hours on the weekends. Since I first visited 5 Star BBQ, I have already been back plus directed several of my out-of-town and local friends there. You will definitely want to try it out if you are a BBQ fan!

Five Star is hands down the best BBQ in Utah County, maybe even Utah. 🙂

Finally, good BBQ in Utah County. Not sure how I missed it when I lived in Lehi.

That menu looks amazing! Your plate says it all. And I am from the South where BBQ is a staple.

I am totally side eyeing that mac and cheese! That is definitely my go-to at BBQ places since I’m a vegetarian! They always have the best mac and cheese and greens!

The restaurant looks so so good! Getting a dish that gives you a bit of everything is the best. The pulled pork looked delicious! I’ve never been to TX or Utah 🙁 But, I love BBQ!
