We loved this place !!!
We have visited Bryce Canyon from Costa Rica and we also planned to come directly to this place! It was worth it, it’s amazing!
The place is very nice, it is really cozy.
Kevin’s service is the best, he really shows that he loves what he does and strives to give his best to customers!
The prices are very good.
And the food?? Well, it’s just amazing, everything tastes great and the portion sizes are perfect!
We did our best trying as many options as possible, and everything was great!
…but the Twisted Nachos are amazing!
You must try the baked beans!
If I had the opportunity, I would definitely come back.
Recommended if you are near the place.

This food was so delicious! I had the loaded baked potato with sweet pork and beans and it was SOOOO good. I don’t go out to eat barbecue super often, but when I have, the baked potato and nacho options were not something I usually see and they really hit the spot. Their pumpkin cobbler was also very yummy. The macaroni and cheese was also better than what I’ve had at other places. And the service was great!

I drove 5 miles from Bryce Canyon City because the reviews for this place were so high. I had looked through photo menus on previous reviews and had an idea of what to get and what it would cost.
They don’t have the 2 meat + 2 side plate, and with the 1 meat + 1 side (corn bread or Cole slaw) you had to pay extra to “upgrade” the side to Mac n cheese or baked beans. The lady preparing the food told me it would be x amount to upgrade the sides which was half as what she rung it up at the end. We ordered a plate with pulled pork and brisket, and paid $9 to add 1/4 brisket and ended up getting 3 pieces of brisket… and one piece of CHICKEN. we didn’t order any chicken at all, so we basically paid all the extra for barely any brisket and a piece of chicken we didn’t want.
The food was okay, but not worth that price or the experience we had. Would NOT recommend.

Love to try BBQ around the country and this place was surprisingly really good! I ordered the brisket coke slaw and potato salad and all were so so good. My friend ordered chicken and pork, thought they were good as well.
I think some of the other reviews about speed are accurate but you have to take into account where you are. This is not a big town or a place that is consistently busy so I totally understand if it’s hard to manage the traffic if it gets busy

While the National Parks are reliably beautiful, there is one other thing you can rely on when dining near a national park: 3 star food at 5 star prices. After doing a quick search near Bryce Canyon, I quickly learned that we would need to drive a few minutes a way to get some decent food.
I.D.K. BBQ was a great value and incredibly tasty. We had the Mac n Cheese, a Chicken Sandwich (called the Emily), a Pulled Pork meat plate and some Pulled Pork Nachos. Everything was well made, generous, and we loved trying all three of the BBQ sauces available. The only thing that was better than the BBQ for lunch was the left over BBQ in my hotel room later that night. 🙂
I don’t write many reviews, but if you are in the Bryce Canyon area, you have to check this place out. You won’t regret it.

While camping at Bryce we drove over for a nice warm meal. We loved it! The meat is tender and flavorful. The service was perfect. The dining area is clean & the staff were very helpful. We had the 1 meat plate, the sweet pork sandwich & the Mac n cheese. We loved everything we chose. The BBQ sauces are great too! Our favorite was the sweet pork sandwich with coleslaw & spicy BBQ sauce. Perfect place in a charming small town!

TL/DR: The meats were okay. The sides were better. The peach cobbler is not worth it.
Here’s what we got:
– 1 Meat + 1 Side – Brisket + Cornbread ($9.99 + $1.99 for brisket): The brisket was pretty average. The cornbread was good.
– 2 Meats + 2 Sides – Pulled Pork, Sweet Chicken + Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese ($15.49): My husband said the pulled pork was fine, the sweet chicken was good, the baked beans were tasty, and the mac & cheese was amazing.
– Peach Cobbler ($5.99): Simply not worth it for taste and also not worth it for price.
A far cry from the best BBQ I’ve had.

We spent 2 nights in Tropic Utah while we visiting Bruce canyon park to do some hiking. We were in the area just as the summer season was winding down so there weren’t as many dinner choices as there might normally be. When some suggested IDK we were skeptical but went because it was only a few minutes from our hotel.
The restaurant only has four tables and two were occupied (so half full; a good sign). Customers order their meals at the counter, collect their drinks from the pop machines and then seat themselves.
There was only one employee but she was efficient and sweet. While she put our meals together she asked questions like where we were from.
The menu choices were quite limited but when you find what works why mess things up with too many choices. We had the fully dressed pulled pork baked potato and the salad (there’s only one) plus a side order of corn bread. Everything was quite good, not awesome but still a solid meal.
Check it out. It’s worth it
p.s. IDK does stand for I don’t know….as in, I don’t know where to eat. Cute.

You have to wait in line, and they take one order, prepare it, then move on to the next person. If there is a long line, you will wait a while. The food is very good. They do need more help. The eating areas hadn’t been cleaned in a while, so we had to clean a table to sit at. They have some neat truck seating. When we were there, they didn’t have ice in the soda machine, so you had to wait until it made some more. We had the peace cobbler with our meal, and it was okay. It was too mushy for me. I would skip that next time. We enjoyed eating here.

If you’re looking for incredible barbecue, this is your place. The food is excellent and they serve it fast. I had the meat platter with brisket, coleslaw, and mac & cheese my husband had the loaded baked potato with sweet shredded pork. The owners started with a food truck which is why they are able to serve it so fast. The restaurant has several tables with two inside old truck beds. They also have lots of picnic tables outside. If you want to support local business and have a great meal, this is your spot.
