| - Hek Yeah served the BEST brisket we have ever had. We have now been to 71 bbq joints around the country (including 7 in Phoenix, which I should rewrite a couple of after trying this place), so saying that should speak loudly--even though I haven't bothered to write enough reviews. I WILL get that done...someday. Taking the time to write this one is another sign of just how good this food was. Back to the brisket--the pecan smoke flavor was perfectly balanced and the seasoning of the meat was just the right amount to yield a tender, perfectly rendered piece of melty meat heaven! See my pic. The ribs were delicious as well. The dry rub they have created, as well as the cooking process, is top notch. These ribs were "barked" perfectly, yet still moist and tender. The pulled pork was very good by bbq standards, but paled in comparison to the brisket and ribs. The 3 sauces they serve are delicious and balanced as well (original, sweet, and ghost), although, to be honest, we really didn't eat sauce on this meat because it was THAT good! This is rare...to find meat good enough to stand on it's own. Sides were also tasty, but that's not why we go to a bbq joint. We had the potato salad and mac. The mac was cooked perfectly and was cellantini instead of elbow, so it wasn't mushy and oily, just cheesy and tasty. The potato salad is chunky and unique. Yum. This is the real deal. They offer creative and unique desserts too...but we couldn't try them this time, as you can tell from the portion sizes in my pics. We had great service and pleasant experience all around. We will be back for sure...that brisket is whispering my name...
