| - Visited the PGA Superstore and noticed a new BBQ place in the Pima Center, so of course, I had to try it. It was in the late afternoon, and kind of quiet, so I sat in the bar portion. The restaurant was quite large - several seating areas and patio areas. I liked the setup, as it gave it the restaurant an open feeling, and an opportunity to sit outside.
Now I'm not a barbecue aficionado - I like all kinds of barbecue and don't know the difference between rubs and sauces, or the different regions. I just know that I very seldom find anything I dislike. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a glass of their Honey Ale beer. I was pleasantly surprised by the sandwich - it was quite good, and seemed cooked to perfection. It was served with fresh onions and pickles on the side, which was really nice. The bun seemed to soak up the sauce a little to much, and it became soggy - but since I usually end up with barbecue sauce from one end of me to the other, it didn't really phase me. And they do have rolls of paper towels at every table for people like me, so I was good. Another plus is that they have hot sauce in case the barbecue sauce isn't hot enough for your taste - and I used it liberally.
The service was great, with one exception. They had plenty of employees there, which is a great plus. But they give you a buzzer when you place the order, and then you wait for it to buzz, and then go pick up your order. I thought with that many employees, they should have at least been able to bring the meal to you.
The other problem is limited parking. It is in a shopping center and the parking directly around the restaurant is limited, so you will probably have to walk.
I did enjoy it, and will be back. Next time I will try one of their samplers or assorted sliders and some of their sides, and be able to do an updated review.
