  • I will go ahead and review what I've had here. This was a last minute stop on one of my Saturday food fests. Unfortunately I did not get to try nearly the amount of what I wanted to. I've driven by this place so many times and I've read so much about it I just had to stop in here and get some grub. Next time will be with a big group so we can order some of everything. They have a much larger menu at the location then they do online. So many sides to choose from, so many desserts to try, so much BBQ to sample. I really wanted to try the fried pickles, and greens because I love these things but there was just no room. I've been trying to find good greens in phoenix and have yet to find any that take me to that happy place encountered the first time I had them back east somewhere. Food: Sauce: The sauce was good.. but it wasn't great. It was missing.. something.. I don't even know what. I know they are very proud of it and maybe its just that my southwest palate is ruined by the super sweet, super hot, super tangy stuff we are used to. The problem with this is everything comes very very sauced. Again.. I though it was good. I think lots of people love it so dont get turned off by this you might love the stuff. Pork Ribs 1/2 slab $9.99: What a great deal! I think I had damn near 12 ribs in there. I honestly wonder if they accidentally made me a full slab as this was a GIANT portion of ribs. The picture I took was after already having 3 of the darn things. Not only was this huge but was also a good $5 cheaper for a 1/2 then most places in the valley charge. I removed the sauce *mostly* from one of them and tasted just the meat. It had a nice natural smokey flavor, falling on the to lite side if anything. It had a great texture, very tender without totally falling off the bone. I hate to break it to most people but falling off the bone for ribs generally means it was just over done. There is a rib sweet spot between having a texture and falling off the bone and Stacy hits it. When you have it the first time you'll know and see what you've been missing. Red Velvet Cake $3.00: I have discovered that I'm just not a fan of this. I had it at lolo's and people RAVE about it and I just didn't dig it. When 50 people tell me something is great and I dont get excited about it I assume I need to try it elsewhere or again. So I gave it a try here and same reaction. The frosting rocks.. how can it not? its cream cheese! But the cake, at both places, not much going on. Its like a yellow cake mix that is dyed an ungodly red that is missing 1/2 the sugar the recipie called for. I just don't seem to like this cake in general so if lolo's has the best in phoenix I would say its a lie since this tasted almost identical. Now you know you have two places in phoenix that have great red velvet cake. Next time I'm going to try pecan or sweet potato. Sadly this was all I got to try. I'm basing my review on the ribs and sauce alone. I'm leaving the cake out of the equation since clearly its just not something I would love anywhere. Can't hold them accountable for that :) I will be back and will update. Is this the best BBQ I've ever had? No its not, but it may very well be the best BBQ I've had in phoenix. I have a few more places on the list to try and will update ratings as necessary. Pros: Local Joint Service: The ribbing/joking/family type treatment. Large Selection: Dare you not to find SOMETHING that looks tempting on this menu. Affordable: This has a bit of a catch will I will go into in the cons. Cons: Limited Seating/Parking: I had zero problems the evening I went but I can imagine during a rush this would be awkward. I have no clue where you would even wait. Out in the parking lot I suppose. No Plastic: They seem to have added an ATM inside recently as I see no other mention of this. I meant to check on the fee. I would guess its probably pretty steep so your better off stooping on the way but if you forget they have you covered. Zero Combination's: There are no combos here. You order meat.. and you order sides. You get A LOT of BBQ for what they charge but if your going by yourself its going to be a little pricey. If you go with a group it would a much better deal. Heavy Sauce: I would ask for light sauce or sauce on the side. If you like your BBQ swimming order it straight up and you'll be a happy camper.
