⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional BBQ & Exceptional People!

Driving home, my husband and I stopped overnight in Richfield—and when he said he was craving BBQ, we discovered there was ONE place in town: Borens Smokehouse. Let me tell you, even if there were a dozen options, this would still be THE ONE.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The aroma of smoked meats instantly set the tone that we were in for something special.

The food was beyond exceptional—rich, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care and skill. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, the kind of BBQ that lingers in your memory long after the last bite.

The service elevated the entire experience. Our server, Hallie, was an absolute doll—attentive, kind, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure our visit was perfect. She made us feel less like customers and more like cherished guests.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Dalton (I believe he’s the owner), and it was clear just how much heart and pride goes into this place. His passion for great food and genuine hospitality shines through in every detail.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that checks every box—phenomenal food, outstanding service, and owners who truly care—but Borens Smokehouse does just that. This is not just a stop for BBQ; it’s a destination.

We left full, happy, and already planning how we can pass through Richfield again just to return here. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor: go to Borens Smokehouse. You...

Honest review:

I went to Boren's on Saturday 1-4-2025 for lunch. I was immediately greeted by their friendly staff and shown around and answered questions about the menu. Shortly after ordering I was greeted by the owner who answered any additional questions. Very personable and kind. In a small town like rochfield these things matter.

Our food came out very quick and very warm. I ordered the Boren Burger and was thoroughly impressed. The burger comes with brisket on top. For context I've lived in south carolina and gone to some of the best bbq you can get but never have I ever seen a brisket burger with so much brisket. The burger comes on a preztle bun that just is the icing on the cake. For sauce lovers like myself the burger comes doused in carolina gold and they also have other options like mephis bbq, texas, and a jalapeño aoli type sauce that was spectacular. The portions were very large and filling. Both me and the person I came with left with leftovers.

For dessert I tried the banana pudding. The owner boasted that this banana pudding would be some of the best I'll ever try. Most of the time claims like that don't have stock but let me tell you this one was amazing. I think it tops my mom's which is a dangerous thing to say.

The atmosphere is especially fun with axe throwing next door and a bbq decor feeling. The smell of smoked meats just adds to the atmosphere perfectly.

10/10 will be going again and...

I work for a Fire-Fighting Helicopter company and my job requires me to travel to different regions of the United States. I'm also from central Texas (Austin-San Antonio area) So trust me when I say this- I was honestly a little skeptical of finding a decent BBQ joint out in the middle of Utah. Borens Smokehouse made me a believer! I ordered the 3 meat plate and all three meats were some of the best barbecue I've had. The brisket was succulent, tender and delicious! The ribs practically fell off the bone and were slathered in a very tangy, flavorful "Carolina" style sauce. (Think- Mustard based, with a slight vinegar undertone) The jalapeño sausage had the perfect amount of bite when paired with the "Texas Heat" sauce. The sides were fantastic also. I ordered the Smokehouse beans, and the macaroni which was nice and peppery and cheesy. Lastly...We need to talk about the banana pudding. The banana pudding was damn near perfect. It was fresh and creamy with just the right amount of whipped topping, fresh bananas and vanilla wafer crumbs. My only regret is I only ordered 1 single cup! So, if you're ever in this neck of the woods- Do yourself a flavor and definitely try out Borems Smokehouse in Richfield Utah. It's a family friendly place with some of the most mouth watering barbecue...
