Tom's BBQ in Mesa has the feel of a fast food restaurant. As you can see from the image I provided I had the brisket, mild barbecue sauce, baked beans, and coleslaw. I thought the amount of barbecue sauce served overwhelmed the brisket. I would've preferred to just add my own sauce to the brisket and get more of the traditional barbecue flavor from the brisket. Because of this I didn't rate the restaurant as highly as I might have. They offer barbecued meats by the pound, you have to ask if they will sell by the quarter pound and a half pound. Even a half pound $9.99 for the brisket was a bit high I thought, when really what I wanted was two or three types of meats, coleslaw and baked beans for about $15.99. I am aware of some other barbecue places around town that are a bit more progressive and or competing for their business. I think they would do well to consider a transformational update in this store, in an effort to regain the competitive spirit I believe they once had.
