I'm not sure where all these good reviews are coming for this place, but I have had way better BBQ than this and the 8 other people with me agreed, we aint goin back. ( with a southern draw of course) I was very excited to see a BBQ joint in Old town Scottsdale since I am a avid BBQ fan. I also do a lot of my own meat smoking and love the smells and flavors so I do have some background in it I was terribly disappointed in this place. I ordered the 1/2 lb. BBq plate w/ coleslaw and sweet tea First off, I don't mind the "pay by pound" idea in a BBQ joint but I don't like it when BBQ comes drenched in BBQ sauce, and when I mean drenched it was soaked in sauce. I like to put the sauce on myself. Which leads me to something else I didn't like about this place, the BBQ sauce itself. WAY to sweet. To me when a sauce is to sweet your covering up to much of the meat flavor. I can put there sauce on a Mc Rib and will taste the same. :) not to knock the famous Mc Rib.
There spicy sauce was actually better but since my meat already came slathered in sweet sauce I couldn't use it. The potato salad and coleslaw seemed mast produced, in other words they bought it from a supplier, I don't know if this is true but the 8 other people I sat with last sunday all said the same thing. With my 1/2 lb plate came white "FRY"s" sandwich bread, no joke. If you wanted to get an actual bun for BBQ sandwiches it was $.99 extra.
Again I'm not sure where these good reviews are coming from but if I were you I would stay away and try another BBQ joint, I'm not going to give any suggestions because then people would think I'm an owner of that "other" joint, I'm just going to suggest that there are way better place then here. Did I mention the Sweet tea was good?
