| - The gentrification of BBQ continues in N. Scottsdale with Naked BBQ.
First, let me get the good out of the way. The kids who got my order were nice, and the restaurant was clean.
When it came to the food, this was one of the worst bbq experiences of my life, and I've ate A LOT of bbq having lived all over the Midwest and south.
The ribs were tiny, didn't fall off the bone, had almost no flavor. The hot links tasted store bought, and the brisket although not dry, had no smokiness to it. None of their meats had a good smoke ring, and the sides were inedible. I literally took a few small bites of the potato salad and beans and threw them into the garbage.
But this is what I should of expected from a bbq place that is run closer to a chipotle then a tried and true bbq joint where smoking meats is an art, and the pit master is revered.
With Naked and Dickey's the gentrification of BBQ has reached a point where you will wonder if bbq will ever be good on this side of town, I guess only time will tell.
