BBQ Pizza

As mentioned earlier the folks over at Smokin Bone’s are know for their pizza this is not your regular run of the meal pizza. Instead they took their amazing smoked meats and put them on-top of their fire cooked crust basically they took two of my favorite meals and combined them. The result of combining these two meals is true culinary bliss. If you like to cook pizza at home on your Traeger grill you will die and go to heaven when you taste this pizza because it is so much better than the pizza you make at home.

Navajo Taco

Another food that that they have perfected is the Navajo taco many know this entry as an Indian Fry bread. If you are not familiar with the Navajo Taco it is a local favorite at all of the Utah fairs. Traditionally the Navajo taco has consisted of fry bred basically a scone that is then covered with taco meat, beans, cheese and sour cream. Smokin bones has spiced up this classic by substituting cheap boring ground beef for their amazing smoked meats. In addition, they smother the fry bread with their beans and BBQ sauce. While this meal is delicious beware the serving size is extremely generous I recommend sharing this meal unless you have a much larger appetite than the average man.

Brisket Sandwiches

All my life I have eaten BBQ but I have never really loved brisket. More often then not the meat was either tough or dry and in some cases both. As such I never really liked brisket until I tried their brisket. The brisket is extremity moist and the meat has an amazing bark that adds to the experience. The smoke flavor has penetrated deep into the meat creating a rich deep flavor profile that is perfect in my opinion. After eating this brisket I finally understand why people love this cut of meat so much. If you are looking a quick light meal I recommend getting their brisket sandwich. The sandwich is perfectly portioned to fill you up and not leaving you feeling like you just finished eating thanksgiving dinner.

While we feel that that the food is worth the drive we do recommend Smokin Bones as a lunch time destination to avoid the traffic that plagues the Wasatch Front area. Also beware that they are not open on Mondays so don’t make the trek just to be disappointed.
