| - Yes this place has the best bbq in Arizona if you're willing to put in the wait!
The story goes, some guy who used to work at Franklins, probably the most famous barbeque joint in Austin, TX came to Arizona and decided to bring a little bit of Texas with him. And I gotta say, this place does not disappoint!
I definitely end up spending a lot more than I actually plan on spending, but it's the anticipation and wait that makes you do that. You literally will have to wait 1-2 hrs if you get there right at 11am.
Definitely get the beef ribs if they're serving them. The sliced brisket is so juicy and melts in your mouth. I highly recommend getting the fattier kind. The pork ribs are good as well along with some sausages. They're super smoked tasting, and would be sooo good in a sandwich. I never bother with pulled pork and chopped brisket because I feel it'll taste the same anywhere I go.
As for the sides, you HAVE to get jalapeño grits!!!! End it with a homemade personal pecan pie, it's super delicious!
So I will say, the reason why the line is so long because once you get inside the shop, there's only one guy cutting the meats for you and weighs it, they really take their time to cut you the freshest and best pieces of meat. And can you imagine if a guy in front of you orders like 10 lbs of meat! That's why it takes so long! And yes the wait sometimes is brutal, sometimes even demoralizing and you just wanna go home. So is it worth it? It depends on your mood, you definitely can't go here on your lunch break, cause it's definitely gonna take more than an hour.
But yes, the quality of the meat is #1! There's no other place in Arizona that has that good of meat! However I do rate on my whole entire experience not just on the food, and I would say I kinda like Joe BBQ more for the overall experience, not having to wait in such a long line, and the additional things they serve.
But all in all, I still would highly recommend coming here if you're in the mood for some bbq.
Tips:
1) they open at 11, if you don't wanna wait a long time, get there an hour earlier, bring your headphones, bring a book, bring a chair, bring something!
2) whatever you plan on spending, double it just in case, for some reason I always end up spending over $100
3) share with friends, it's a lot better
4) get the beef ribs, pork ribs, sliced fatty brisket, and sausage, skip the rest
5) if you want sides, get the jalapeño grits! It's the bomb
6) there's 3 kinda of sauce, ask for them all, they're very accommodating
7) there's pickles and jalapeños and stuff for free if you like that stuff
