Probably because of the same communication used to announce their closing.

I think the construction on 21st south coupled with the fact of having to temporarily close during Covid really affected the ownership financially.
I Always thought they had the best wings and enjoyed going there with my family after Utah football games or getting takeouts to watch an Utah game.

See I thought they already went out of business. After reading this article, I realized they moved just slighlty east of where they used to be. My entire friend group used to go there ALL THE TIME. None of us knew they just moved and didn’t go out of business. I have hundreds of friends and we all used to go. How did NONE of us know they just moved!? Our group was probably one of the if not the biggest group that kept them in business. This makes me sad.

I met my brother their for years and years and after he passed away I went the to honor his memory and hardly touched the food we always got the same plate and but after that last visit I never returned. I’m sad for whatever happened there that made the quality of food and service drop so significantly because it use to be a place of happy memories.

Most local iconic brands that survive, when the owners want to retire they sell it.

Rent rates and operations costs are clearly up across the board for restaurant operators.

I would agree with that statement. I would add it wasn’t just the food that went downhill.

SugarHouse Barbecue is a staple in the community and we eat there regularly. Great environment for a quick lunch or treating the family to dinner. Very very sad. Assuming that all of the road construction in this area had something to do with the owners decision; very hard to get around in SugarHouse right now and don’t know of anyone that is happy with the situation. Encourage the community to eat there soon.

That’s when we stopped going.
