I first heard of Phil's like through Restaurant Makeover and after seeing the chef sent to teach Phil about making dishes come up with nothing since everything tasted so good, I had to put this place on my must-go-to list.BBQ for me is a summer food, you need that weather otherwise you can't possibly enjoy the true beauty of the meat, and so I waited 4 months and finally went a couple days ago.
What surprised me were the prices, full slab of ribs $26 or a rack with 2 sides for $22, a BBQ combo for $23 (quarter chicken, 3 ribs and a bit of brisket with 2 sides). We ended up getting a pulled pork sandwich and the BBQ combo just so we could taste a bit of everything. The ribs were good (8/10) - a little dry but overall tasty. Chicken was seasoned well and tasted good but the brisket didn't really impress. The highlight of the dinner ended up being the BBQ Beans which were amazing (probably because of the chicken and pork hidden between them)!
Overall Phil obviously knows how to BBQ but given the rather high price, I was expecting a bit more.
On a side note I have to say the sweet BBQ sauce they have on the table is SO GOOD, I'm tempted to go back and buy a couple bottles and put it on EVERYTHING!
