| - Easily the best BBQ in AZ, and it's not even close.
The hype is real folks, it took me 5 times (yes 5 times) to traverse the line and get the ribs and fatty brisket and it was very tasty. Both are cooked perfectly, great smoke rings, juicy, and the ribs fell off the bone. You could easily eat the ribs off the bone with a plastic fork, they're that tender.
They had a pastrami brisket special today that was exceptional, I made a sandwich with it and the classic white bread, pickles and onions they provided. The pickles and onions added a nice texture and acidity that helped balance out the Q and when paired with the pillowy soft white bread made for a great dish.
If I had a minor nitpick with the food it would be that the meats were a bit over salted for my personal taste, but the 3 different tasty sauces helped balance that out.
The only issue is the wait, it's long. If you are a lover of BBQ it is well worth the wait, but if you want some of the more popular meats like the fatty brisket and ribs you better get there at 11am at the latest, which some days might even be too late and expect to wait close to 2 hours. Hopefully when they open the Sunnyslope location it might lighten up a bit.
ADDITIONAL TIP
Your best bet is get a few friends together, call a week in advance and put in a order to pick up. You have to order 5 lbs. of meat and it has to be 7 days in advance, but if you have a group of 4-5 it can be easily done and you won't have to wait.
