I really wanted to love this place. I’m all for supporting local restaurants, and there’s a lot to appreciate here — but for me, it lands at a solid 4 stars, not quite a must-return… yet.

Being a BBQ joint is a tall order. It’s a category where expectations are high and competition is fierce. Caribbean Cowboy hits the mark in some areas, but misses in others. Let’s start with what worked: their BBQ sauce was excellent — rich, flavorful, and clearly house-made. The pulled pork was the standout by far — tender, juicy, and full of depth. That’s pitmaster-level pulled pork. The brisket, while flavorful and well-cooked, was a bit fatty for my preference but still well-executed.

The sides were mixed. Their street corn was a hit — warm, nicely charred, and generously seasoned. But the baked beans were a major letdown. Honestly, they tasted like plain canned pinto beans, straight onto the plate with no sauce or seasoning. It felt like a forgotten side, which stood out given how intentional the rest of the plate was.

Ambiance-wise, I really liked the country-farmhouse vibe. It’s set back off Hwy 89 with a cozy, tucked-away feel that works well, especially for locals or weekend visitors. Plenty of space, even on a holiday weekend — we didn’t feel cramped or crowded. That said, I felt like the restaurant lacked the “soul” most great BBQ joints carry. I want to know who’s behind the smoker — what their story is, where their passion comes from. Right now, it feels like the food is leading without the personality or legacy behind it, and that’s something worth building into the brand.

The house-made lemonade had a fun presentation and was clearly fresh-squeezed, but it was overly watered down. At $7 per drink, I was expecting a punch of bold citrus flavor, especially paired with BBQ. Instead, it was subtle to the point of being forgettable.

Price-wise, it adds up quickly. Two lemonades, one two-meat plate with two sides, and a cornbread ran us about $60 for two people. I understand good BBQ isn’t cheap — and for out-of-town visitors that might be fine — but as a local, it’s hard to support regularly at that price point.

In the end, it’s a place with great potential. Some dishes shine, others still need work. I’d go again, but probably not regularly. Right now, it’s a good stop — not yet a must-stop.

The sliced brisket and pulled pork was great. We also really liked the street corn. We tried the pickle fries were good too.

Next time we will get there earlier so they aren’t out of the ribs and chicken.

Lots of parking and seating. Our kids also liked the root beet, sasparilla, and Huckleberry specialty sodas. The homemade lemonade looked good as well.

Great spot for BBQ and fresh homemade food. The sides are top notch! The corn and the potato salad are really good. I highly recommend the fresh squeezed lemonades. They are not too sweet and perfect on a hot day.
The patio has comfortable seating and plenty of yard games to keep you occupied.

Delicious and great seating area! The person behind the counter was super nice.
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, a side of the street corn, and a lemonade. Whatever spices they put on that street corn is so good! The sandwich was also very tasty, and drink was massive! Definitely one of the best places I’ve tried up here.

The food was amazing! Ended up eating here both days we were in town because it was so good! Lemonade was worth it as well! The family owned business is a must to try when in bear lake! Lemon cookie was mouth watering! Faves were the ribs, brisket, street corn, and potato salad!

Hands down best BBQ around!!! Service was impeccable and so friendly. Everything is absolutely delicious with great portions. Snickerdoodle cookie is to die for as well as refreshing fresh made daily lemonade and limeade. Meat was so fresh and don’t even get me started with the amazing sides! Try the street corn trust me!! The atmosphere is so beautiful and well decorated. My new favorite place in town!

I was very impressed with the customer service, I was sad that if your not first come first served. I only say this because there brisket sales out fast, so I missed one of the most important part of the menu. I was able to still get the ribs and the cowboy corn, which was good. I did try the cowboy Twinkies, they were good but no bit, I would have loved a little more bit. I would still tell you to get it. My son had the steak and cheese sandwich, I thought it was really good, my daughter had the kids meal chicken strips, the one thing she loved was the fresh lemonade. I would say it was good food.
I would tell you that you need to go try it out, I think you will love it.

Super new, clean and sharp. Ribs are awesome. Texas Twinkies are awesome, baked beans are meaty and awesome. Limeade is fresh and awesome. Large covered outdoor patio.

These guys just opened and need some business, you won’t be disappointed!

The food was excellent. I got the ribs and the street corn- both were very good. My husband got the Rueben sandwich and loved that. My kids loved their meals as well. We tried the snickerdoodle and chocolate raspberry cookies which were also delicious. My favorite part was the patio. 10/10 for atmosphere. I would recommend this place. The prices were a little high, but if you are looking for good BBQ at Bear Lake, this is your place.
