Wallaby's

So, last Saturday night, after the horrible football game, Shauna and I decided to go out to dinner. She had a luncheon at school catered by Wallaby's barbecue restaurant in Lindon, UT, and has ever since sworn up and down that they had the best BBQ she'd ever had. So, willing to take the challenge (and hoping to prove her correct), we drove out to Wallaby's.

When we arrived, we noticed that it was also next door to China Lilly's chinese gourmet, which we'd both heard about. So, now you know where our next culinary adventure will be at. Anyways, as we walked through the door of Wallaby's, we were greeted by a happy, middle-aged guy named Bob who happened to be the owner. He was very nice, albeit talkative. He bragged, with reason, about the extent to which they prepare their meat--I'm talking ribs and briskets that are smoked on site then cured and aged for days before they make it onto your plate; the seasoning and sauce is caramelized on the outside of the meat during the process... By the time he was done explaining, I was sold and salivating!

We ordered a meal that came with three meat choices, one of which I insisted on being 1/4 rack of ribs. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. We didn't wait long before our food was brought out to us piping hot. Their three homebrewed sauces are extremely good, as well. The meat from the ribs just fell off the bone like I had never before experienced! When we go back, I'm going for the full rack. That stuff was amazing and worth the trip by themselves. Shauna would also have me say to get the cinnamon roll for $1.99. It was delicious, too! In all, Shauna and I both split that plate with two sides and two drinks for about $25.

So, in short, if you're into BBQ, you have to go to Wallaby's on State St. in Lindon, UT. I did my best to explain it, but it is truly something you have to experience for yourself.
