| - Bonanza of Boo-Ya BBQ
A friend had recommended Joe's as a BBQ staple in the Valley for years. We swung by after the Peach Fest. Nice place and the food was super yums!
Joe's is in a brick storefront in a hopping part of Gilbert's downtown, across the street from Postino, cater-cornered from Liberty Market and The Farmhouse, and down the street from Oregano's and LoLo's.
My wife, kids, and I had a mix of food-- Sampler Plate, Half-Slab, and Kid's Sandwich Meal. All received positive reviews. As with any BBQ place, it's really about the meat. It's good stuff with a smoky flavor, tasty charring, and oh so tender. All passed the falls-off-the-bone test. The BBQ sauces are warm and are good, though a they are a tad sweet for my tastes. If you're the same, the spicy BBQ sauce option balances the sweetness some. Potato salad and coleslaw were also good.
Definitely a go-to place for your BBQ list. That said, I was told this place can get crazy busy. We apparently hit it at the right time because a fairly long line developed as we were eating.
