This is on par with the best BBQ in Phoenix. The wait is ridiculous, since you could easily drive elsewhere in the time you wait to be served. We saw the line one day and skipped it but came back the following day 20 min. prior to opening. Wait time was over 1 hour from opening time. At least 75% of the customers are visitors drawn in by the great Yelp reviews.
Remember - it's Phoenix, it's near the airport and tire shops, the line is outside, the dining is outside, the food is hot. It's not like it's worth the wait to catch breathtaking views.
They offer to-go orders the day ahead which you can jump the line and get at opening time. That is the only way to go, in my opinion.
At least the food was delicious. There is never a reason to rush the art of BBQ, but since it's been smoking all night it should be ready to move. I'm sure they can find a way to cut & weigh it fresh while still getting it to their happy customers more quickly. They are opening a 2nd location, which speaks to the popularity of their craft.
The owners could be billionaires if they got local repeat customers, which unfortunately I'm not.
