Big South · South Salt Lake
Big South brings smoked meats and soul food sides together on Main Street in South Salt Lake. Smoked oxtails, barbecue wings, Mississippi pot roast and fried catfish give the menu substantial anchors, while smoked macaroni and cheese and collard greens complete the plate. The cooking is built for hearty combinations, so choosing both a meat and several sides reveals the kitchen's full range.
Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen - Draper
Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen serves Black soul food through familiar, carefully seasoned comfort dishes. Chicken fried chicken with gravy can be paired with collard greens, yams and cornbread, while catfish and wings offer different routes through the menu. Sweet tea completes the experience, and the Draper room gives the south valley a focused place for a full meat and sides plate.
