This place definitely holds it's own. Great brisket. Nice smoke ring. Three words... Cheesey Jalapeno grits. Yes, it is a chain but so far, dare I say that this is some of the best BBQ I have had the pleasure to eat in the PHX area. The portions are huge too. I had enough leftovers to literally last me for for three more meals. Go check this place out for yourself. Aside from the fact that it looks like you are eating in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride or something it is seriously really freakin' good.
