What makes it different
- Texas rules. "No drive thru window or french fries here," the restaurant says. You order meat by weight at the counter, the way Central Texas barbecue joints do.
- A competition pedigree. Bam Bam's lists a run of 2012 competition results: Grand Champion at the Best Dam BBQ Challenge, Nevada State BBQ Champion, Reserve Grand Champion at Smokin in Mesquite, and an invitation to the American Royal World Series of BBQ. It also cites Utah Valley Magazine's Best BBQ in the Valley.
- The pitboss. The restaurant names Cameron Treu as owner and pitboss.
- Classes and catering. Bam Bam's caters, and Salt Lake Magazine's listing notes a BBQ 101 class for people learning to smoke meat.
Ordering tips
- For a group, order meat by the pound and add pints or quarts of sides. Two pounds of meat and a quart each of beans and mac and cheese runs about $64 (all pulled pork) to $80 (all brisket) before tax.
- For one, the brisket sandwich combo is the most complete meal at $13.99.
- On a Sunday, it's closed, like many Utah County restaurants; plan another day.
