We had the pleasure of discovering Bada's BBQ at the New Food and Product Show, and it was a BBQ experience to remember! As we were walking by, one of their team members stopped us to try a sample of their brisket. That sample alone was enough to sell us on ordering their BBQ brisket sandwich. It came loaded with generous portions of brisket, super tender with the perfect balance of smokiness and flavor. Each bite melted in our mouths, and the addition of pickles helped cut through the rich, tangy sweetness of their house-made sauce. The sauce itself was spot-on--not too sweet, just the right amount of tang.We also tried their house-made cheddar sausage, which was another standout. It had an amazing smoky flavor with the cheese adding a great depth, and that perfect snap from the casing was a nice touch. After finishing up, we decided to explore the rest of the hall but couldn't stop thinking about how delicious everything was, so we went back a second time to try their rib and brisket combo plate. This plate came with BBQ beans, a sweet roll, rice, mac salad, and pickles, and it did not disappoint. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender--some of the best we've ever had.On top of that, we got their brisket chili with cheddar sausage, which came with two scoops of rice and mac salad. The chili was packed with flavor, with traditional ground meat, beans, and peppers but taken up a notch by chunks of brisket that really brought it all together. The portions were massive, and the quality was just outstanding--you definitely get your money's worth here. The food was so good that we couldn't help but recommend Bada's BBQ to everyone around us admiring our food.If you're a BBQ lover, this place is a must-try.

My coworkers go here all the time so finally I got to try since I came in on a Thursday when Bada's BBQ was there. I decided to order the smoked brisket chili with all rice. All my coworkers said good things about it so I decided to try it. Since I got all rice, the guy put it in a plate instead of a bowl. There was the perfect amount of rice to chili. The chili was soooo good! It was really hot in temperature which was nice because they just work from under a tent. The portion was big too. I'll definitely be back. They need to start opening on Wednesdays!

What can I say. I'm always down for good BBQ. I'm so glad I had a chance to try them. I got the beef brisket plate. Came with rice, beans, some pickeled onion and roll. The brisket was soft and smoky and hits the spot and it paired well with the beans. There was a lot of brisket and I had leftovers for dinner.

Bada's, not to be confused with Badass...Bada's is like saying Braddahs, without the R! Hope that helps. So you don't go somewhere totally different looking for brisket and chili! When it comes to BBQ I can be pretty picky, but let me clarify that my standards for BBQ cannot and shouldn't be compared to a southern BBQ connoisseur. This is BBQ with a local touch. I was introduced to this beautifully 12-hour cooked/ chaperoned piece of brisket meat when our boss treated us all to a meal. I was impressed immediately! The brisket was juicy and super tender. The taste has the right amount of flavor and to be honest you don't need to have the BBQ sauce. BBQ sauce does give it a different flavor though. Regardless, its good either way. My personal fave, besides the brisket is hands down their brisket chili!! Scoop Mac salad with the chili and rice and you've got a winner in a bite! This portion is good enough for two meals for me. It's pretty filling, especially with the rice it comes with. I wanna take a nap afterwards. Their ribs are fall off the bone, good and tasty! A lot of my coworkers will choose the ribs as a favorite. The curry is a local Japanese tasting style. Something to note, it's not gonna be soupy, more like saucy as far as texture goes. This one is pretty tasty too. After the chili, this is my favorite. I'm not a chicken thighs fan, but everyone I know who've gotten the chicken plate, we're super happy. They liked the seasoning and I have to admit it smells really good. Pulled pork sandwich or brisket sandwich are also a hit!They've got a good menu going, but to see what's available during their pop ups, check out their Instagram page: @badas_bbqFrom Thursdays - Saturdays they're popped up in front of Bougainville Flooring Super Store near NEX & Salt Lake Target. They open up at 10am and there till about 2pm or until they're sold out.I've been seeing them do catering jobs and they can get pretty busy. If they're not at the pop up, they'll post on IG.Give these two local braddahs a visit. They'll appreciate the local support and you'll enjoy the food they serving. Happy Eating!

3.5 Stars - Not bad. Badas bbq is located in the parking lot of flooring store near Salt Lake Target and open from Thursday to Saturday only. It was very easy to find and there was a lot of parking available. Their IG stories and photos of their food looked really good so I wanted to try for myself. This particular week had brisket stew for $20. I asked for no rice and it came with a side of mac salad. There was other items on the menu that day too including ribs and brisket too. Cash or Credit card was accepted and the food came out pretty quick. The brisket was definitely soft in the stew, but the stew had a tang/acidic taste to it which was probably from the ketchup which made it harder to eat for me. Otherwise it would have been pretty awesome! The portion was also enough to share for 2 people.

We tried Bada's BBQ for the first time last week, it blew our minds and taste buds that we went twice in a week. I heard they use lychee wood to smoke their meat. The honey bourbon barbecue sauce is killer too. They also make their own pickles and pickled onions that go perfectly with their whole menu. They are there at the Bougainville flooring super store parking lot on Thursday - Saturday 's 10:30am till they sell out.

@whatthetruck Waikele. Got the rib and brisket combo. Great sides, pickled onion included. Bbq sauce had a bourbon-like kick to it. Very unique and delicious.

Hands down best brisket and St. Louis style ribs on the island. I've bought plates and catering from Bada's BBQ many times. They serve Texas BBQ with a local twist. Mac salad is unreal (I always get extra). Right now they are conveniently located outside of Bougainville Flooring Super Store from Thursday to Saturday. Seems like they sell out around 1-2pm usually so I would order ahead of time. They don't have a web site yet but you can follow their specials and catering menu posted on Instagram @badas_bbq

Went to pick up my carpet at the Flooring Store and stumbled on this pop up eatery. They were setting up and we couldn't decide if we wanted to wait and pick up lunch some place else. So glad we decided to wait!Ordered one rib plate and one brisket plate. This was one of the better BBQ plates we've had in a while. Ribs were fall off the bone tender and flavorful. Brisket was also tender and flavorful, didn't even need the sauce! The sauce did add a little spicy kick. Baked beans- onolicious, 5 star, mac salad - flavorful, 5 star, even the rice was good, not dry/ hard! Will definitely go back!
