#BamBamsBBQ is a local Texas style Barbecue place in Orem. Having Barbecue all over the USA we weren’t sure how they’d rank. Overall they were pretty good. We did take out as we were bringing food home to Mum. The two sides were excellent. We ordered a pint of each which was a good amount for three of us, with leftovers. The #PotatoSalad had a strong dill pickle flavor which was great to cut thru the rich meats. My husband really enjoyed it too. The #Coleslaw is more vinegar based, less creamy than some purveyors, which is my preference. The slaw had great flavor, often #BBQ coleslaws are lacking, to me, But not Bam Bams. For meats we went with three choices, a half pound each, which was enough for three of us with some leftover. #PorkRibs had good flavor and smoke, but skimpy on the meat. The #brisket had great bark, which I loved, and was moist and tasty. We went with the more fatty brisket portion, as that is where the flavor is. The #PulledPork was gorgeous. Good amount of fat and smoky flavor. I loved seeing the worker take a slab of luscious pork and pull it fresh. The three sauces were all unique and tasty. The more sweet one was molasses based which gave it great deep, sweet flavor. The more vinegar one had nice acid to it. And then the third sauce was tangy, sweet and was a favorite as it tasted more unique, Kind of a cross of the other two. Really I was surprised with how good Bam Bams BBQ was. I look forward to trying more from there.
We tried the pulled pork nachos, the beef brisket sandwich with cheddar, the pulled pork sandwich with pepper Jack cheese, three pork ribs and some potato salad. The flavor of all the meat was very good. They had three types of bbq sauce on each table and I liked all of them. I wish they would have heated up the meat a little more (it was not very warm). The chips that came in the nachos were nothing special. The potato salad had a strong flavor of dill I think. It was good but I was tired of eating it before I finished mine. Next time I will probably order the Cole slaw or the Mac and cheese. We all agreed that this is some of the best bbq in the area and we plan to go back.
We have only eaten here once and we got turkey for thanksgiving. The service was fantastic and fast, and the price was reasonable. The turkey was not great, it was kind of dry and average. Would definitely be willing to try other BBQ here though.
Also when I tried to call ahead their phone seemed to be having issues and they couldn't hear me when I called across two different phones.
