I was browsing new reviews on Yelp, as I am wont to do, when I saw a 5-star review for this place. That reminded me that I had once tried the terrible food here about a year ago but I did not bother to write a review about it. The review I read was for a different location so it is possible some of the others are better, but the one in Tempe is a definite "NO".
I got a pulled pork sandwich and the bread was so soggy that it was inedible. Not soggy in a good way from saucy goodness but like the meat and been kept hot in boiling water and they took it out and just plopped it on the bun and then squirted some bbq sauce on top. My husband had ribs which tasted like they had been cooked several hours ago and then reheated in a microwave.
I don't remember much else about the food but I do remember that the restaurant was so dirty and unwelcoming that we got our food to-go even though we were originally planning to eat there. It was just a bad vibe.
I know there are not a lot of options for good bbq in phx but I heartily recommend staying away from this place. On a related note: If anyone can tell me of a place in the valley that serves Texas style barbecue then please, please contact me. My husband is actually pressuring me to move back to Houston because he can't find a place here that serves beef ribs.
