Well I might as well follow this 5 Star parade.
This place gets it!
Superb Q in an unpretentious location and they make you earn your Q. And what I mean by that is, you gotta wait in line for a long time. Now it has been my mantra that nothing is worth more than, at most, a 30 minutes wait. First time in my life, at the persistent insistence of my son Basit, that I grudgingly waited almost an hour and half, standing in line, for my food.
Lemme tell you. It was worth every minute of the excruciating wait after getting in line well before 15 minutes of opening time. Does that tell you how long the line was.
Each of us got a pound of their beef brisket, grabbed one of the tables and then gently floated into brisket heaven. IT DON'T GET NO BETTER THAN THIS!!!
This is brisket at its best. Forget Texas, forget Kansas City. Brisket heaven is in Tempe, AZ.
Did I mention that my son actually got another pound to take back to Colorado?
