After hearing about Stacy's and hearing how great it was, I was a bit skeptical to try it. Well.....that was 3 months and 6 visits ago!
Stacy's is great. The best BBQ here in Phoenix for sure.
In my opinion, the meats are the real winner here. After sampling each kind of meat (except the catfish) I've decided that my favorite way to eat here is to come with a friend and order up a load of food. The brisket and the rib tips are the best. The pork is good but pretty flavorless without the sauce.
I always prefer to taste my BBQ without sauce to see the real flavors. Same here, I order with the sauce on the side. Although they always give me a look, they still serve it as requested.
I happen to really like their sauce, I just like to use a little at a time rather than having the meat drowned in it. They are very liberal with the portions and their sauce so be careful not to over order.
As for the sides. I've enjoyed their sweet potato fries and cole slaw. Was a little disappointed in the fried pickles and okra as they are breaded instead of battered and I wasn't crazy about the breading.
As everyone has stated, its cash only and has limited parking.
Stacy plays the tough guy but is really a sweetheart and when pushed will smile and talk to you about his love of BBQ and Chicago!
It's good stuff.
