I have never been a fan of BBQ sandwiches and have always leaned more towards BBQ platters. Trust me on this one, go for the platter. While my husbands brisket sandwich was delicious, my 2 meat platter with brisket and pulled pork stole the show. Both meats and my chosen sides were executed perfectly.
We loved their list of choices for sides (I recommend mexican corn and sweet potato fries) and also all of their sauces.
My husband is from Kansas City and is very particular about his BBQ and Tom's Thumb didn't disappoint- we will be back!
Also, the atmosphere is casual and comfy but still nice, don't be put off by the fact that it's in a gas station (this is North Scottsdale and the fanciest gas station I've ever been in - almost felt boutique-ish).
