Sean's Smokehouse BBQ and Grill

This restaurant is located in Saratoga Springs off of SR 73 near the UPS store. The food is more than great! There is a variety of smoked meats as well as salad, baked potatoes and other items on the menu. Watch out for the baked potatoes though. I love them and they taste great, however, the last few times I have gotten the potato there was a huge black spot in it. Not sure why. On the other hand you can order the potato with a side of meat, ranch, or whatever. It is very delicious, a great deal and it is huge! They have their own BBQ sauce which is excellent and you can even buy some to take home. This is a place that you have to go to, you will not be disappointed.

BBQ House Pitmaster

The restaurant is located in Draper, Utah just off 123rd South and 300 East. My husband and I decided to stop at this place since we had not been there before. I was not disappointed in the meal I got. There was a lot of food for the price. I could not eat my whole sandwich, which was delicious! The plate that my husband ordered was very tasty and had so much on it that he had to get a box to go. To top it off the chef came out and spoke with us, asked us how we liked the food, and had a nice conversation. Would we go back, yes we will!

Mountain West Burrito

When we were trying to recover from Firehouse Subs we went next door to the new Mountain West Burrito restaurant. I wanted to try the burritos, surely this place is better than the other place...wrong again. I ordered a half and half burrito, half steak and half chicken with guacamole. It looked great when we got it, that is where it stopped. There was so much gristle in the meat that I could not take a bite without it in it. My husband had the same experience, gristle throughout the burrito. The chicken, when I finally found it, was good. The burrito itself was not warm, and the entire thing was tasteless. It was mostly beans and rice, which is great if that is what you are buying, but there was very little steak or chicken in it. Save your money and go somewhere else, this is not worth trying!

Firehouse Subs

Finally, we had a an extra dollar to try a new place to eat. I have heard so many people tell me how great Firehouse Subs is and so that is where we went. Well, the decorations were fabulous. The sandwich was on the wrong bread and the other sandwich we ordered was ...tasteless. It was expensive and when I said I wanted a small soda I got a large one (it actually was a medium) that I could not drink if I wanted to. The competition (just down the street) does not have to worry about loosing business, I will still go to there If you have extra money and just want to try some place different go ahead, the kids get a plastic fireman's hat.
