I read about this opening up on az Central a few days ago and if a new Bbq joint opens up even if it's in old town I wanna give it a chance.. Very clean and new in here. Farm style tables with colorful metal chairs. Decent size patio that faces Scottsdale Rd. Since the smokers are outside not pet friendly. I ordered the tri tip sandwich and abt's which is smoked Jalapeño stuffed sausage cheese and bacon. They have quite a few beers on tap besides the standard domestics. Quite a few bourbons and whiskey as well. I ordered my food to go and since they are still working all the kinks in the kitchen I had time to have two beers very slowly. While I was waiting I ended up ordering a few sides. I got pork belly mac and cheese,bbw beans and kale slaw. I also ordered the pecan pie to go. Yes I spent almost fifty bucks after tip but I wanted to get a decent sample of the menu.
The tri tip meat was good. They hype the Santa Monica style of cooking but not sure I noticed any difference.. Regardless the main item was good and I woukd get it again. I liked the bacon wrapped Jalapeño with a lil smokie inside(ask them what abt stands for) . I expected/wanted it to be more cheesy. I also liked the kale slaw and this is coming from a non kale lover. It had Bleu cheese nuts and some kinda light dressing. I'm glad I tried the pork belly mac and cheese. The combo was good I definitely would have expected/wanted more pork belly. Maybe even cut up smaller and more crispy. The beans were ehh. Not bad not good no true complaints. The pecan pie was g
Tasty more doughy than my style but absolutely shocked at how small it was (that's what she said?). In a nut shell not bad but I still have my fave bbq place in town that I'm willing to wait an hour in line for.
