OK, so we went a bit overboard and ordered way too much food! But, the good news was that we had leftovers to enjoy at home. We chose BBMB because of its good ratings on Yelp and in Phoenix Magazine and for its dog-friendly patio area, and really enjoyed ourselves.
I ordered the pork ribs which were smoke-a-licious and mouth wateringly tangy with the homemade bbq sauce as Phoenix Magazine promised, but I was disappointed that they were more chewy than reported. I prefer falling-off-the-bones BBQ ribs because they are so messy to eat anyway, and I had to work pretty hard chewing on the ribs here to get every tasty morsel. Don't know that I'd order a whole rack again.
But the BBQ chicken was a completely different story..... We took a whole one home, and MAN, was it moist and delicious! Succulent and flavorful smokiness that did not overpower the chicken itself. We couldn't understand why BBMB didn't score the #1 BBQ chicken in Phoenix Magazine [they were #2].
My husband took home the brisket and had a pulled pork sandwich for lunch which he thoroughly enjoyed along with the potato salad. He said the potato salad deserved its "Best" mention" in Phoenix Magazine's issue on BBQ restaurants in the Valley.
Next time we're up in Cave Creek, we'll be stopping in BBMB again.
