Capt. Lens BBQ

Food Truck and Catering Services

Capt. Len’s BBQ has been a part of the local community for over 18 years. We started by creating and selling our barbecue rubs, which we still use today! 

We offer Southern Style Barbecue ranging from our Baby Back Ribs and North Carolina Pulled Pork to our Texas Brisket and side dishes, which include our award winning BBQ Beans, Coleslaw, Cajun Corn, Potato Salad and our Adult Mac & Cheese. 

The Captain created his original barbecue sauce back in 2010. He begins that process by making his own chipotle ketchup as the base for his sauce.  Capt. Len’s BBQ now produces four sauces: the Captain’s Original BBQ Sauce, Rocky Mountain BBQ Sauce, Texas Jack BBQ Sauce and our Cobra Pepper Hot Sauce.  Our sauces are available for sale from our Food Trailer and soon at retailers featuring Utah’s Own Products.
