Joe's is the best option for BBQ in Arizona (valley) that I've had... However it doesn't compare to a few of the best I've had in Texas BBQ or Kansas City stuff... Sorry! Joe's a cool dude and I appreciate what he does here locally and with his other places nearby but I do like coming here and will continue to do so. It's locally owned and that's worth my biz.
Home made root beer is pretty good but not my fav. Slaw is really good, kudos there, as is the mac-n-cheese w/ crusty top. Beans are key and they're good here as well.
Brisket is above average and the BBQ sauce comes a little thin in my opinion but after you pick up your tray there's a spot where you can add as much as you want. Pulled pork is exceptional and more so what I lean to when coming here. The chicken is good too.
Swing out and sit down. If you've had The Salt Lick or similar in Texas you won't be blown away. But if you've never had good BBQ this will blow your socks off.
