  • A girlfriend and I visited here for lunch today and it's always amazing to me that in Phoenix, so many neat places to eat are housed in generic strip malls that you would never know are there. I almost missed the turn off just off the 51 but made it since there are two entrances into their parking lot. Ample parking outside and somehow missed the BBQ smell as I walked up. Upon entering though, you realize this place is way cooler than most strip malls restaurants. The atmosphere was really nice with big booths for larger groups and plenty of tables. The lighting was great and reminded me a lot of the decor that's popping up all over Phoenix at places like Central Bistro and even Olive and Ivy a bit with their cool filament light bulbs. We were invitied to sit anywhere and we opted for a booth/chairs table along the back wall. The booth was comfy though it was a bit chilly in the place. I need to start remembering to bring a sweater to restaurants during the summer! Everything on the menu sounded really good so we opted for the grilled corn as an appetizer and I ordered the pulled pork with a side of the 50/50 potato salad and my friend ordered the brisket plate and a side of mashed potatoes. Our waitress, while handling what looked like 10 other tables, had perfect timing except for the one time we needed a Diet Coke refill and we had to flag her down. Other than that, she was great, friendly and always had a smile on her face. Overall I thought the food was pretty good. The corn was a bit disappointing because I'd hoped for more street corn with the creamy sauce drizzled on it but rather got two pieces of corn with some jalepeno spice that made it really hot! I'm a bit of a weeny when it comes to hot so I only ate half but the corn did have good flavor. The pulled pork was really good and I loved their coleslaw. Slightly sweet with not too many ingredients. Also on the plate came with two tortillas. It seemed really strange at a BBQ place and wasn't in the mood but my friend said they tasted like...surprise!...a tortilla. I had expected a slightly more 'deviled egg' potato salad based off the ingredients list so it seemed to lack a little flavor so I probably wouldn't get it again. My friends brisket on the other hand was delicious! Coming from KC, finally there's a place in Phoenix that holds up to some of the BBQ you can get there. The meat was super tender, great sauce and I think she got 4 or 5 slices on her plate. Overall, love the atmosphere, fantastic service and I'm excited to come back here for more BBQ! I also just realized there was a Local Dines certificate to this place so I'll definitely be coming back more frequently even though its a bit of a drive from downtown.
