If you're from a place known for good BBQ (in my case.. originally from Texas) and are use to good, juicy, slow cooked meats, slowly smoked using various hardwoods on an open pit, I would suggest that you DON'T GO TO DAVE'S. I moved here (AZ) from Texas 13 years ago and have yet to find a BBQ joint, that I'm thrilled with. (Joe's in Gilbert comes closest so far)
I ordered the St Louis Style Spareribs and the "Texas" beef brisket. The ribs were passable but a little dry and lacking smoke flavor. The brisket was a joke !!..Not only did it lack flavor, it was sliced way too thick was also very dry and tough. It was like eating a plank of wood off my sundeck !!
I should have left when I tasted the cornbread muffins..they were dry and horribly too sweet..even underneath the disgusting honey topping. I would give this place a zero (0..goose egg..nada) but a one is as low as yelp will permit..I believe.
BTW..The service was excellent. My waitress was great..She can't help it if the food sux..
