I gave it a 3 star because the staff was great, one of the best. Friendly service and the place looked the part. Unfortunately the food was average. I am from Texas and love my BBQ and expected more by reading the reviews. The brisket was good but my mac and cheese was dry and hard and for the beans, I have had better from Bush beans in the can. There are a few choices of BBQ in North Scottsdale so I was hoping to find a place I can go regularly but I don't see myself coming back unless I really craved BBQ close by. Thumbs UP to the staff a decor but thumbs DOWN on the food. Sorry guys, maybe I might try back another time to see if the food improves.
