We came out to Cave Creek looking for a place that was considered pet friendly and well reviewed. We stopped into Bryan's Black Mountain BBQ for a bite. It seems to be a pretty popular place so expect to wait a bit if you're here on Saturday. I got the 2 meat platter with the potato salad and cole slaw.
The good: the pulled pork was delicious. Tender, juicy, and smoky. The cole slaw was stand out too and has olives in it which added a little salty savory to it. If you don't like olives, your mileage may vary.
The okay: the brisket was tender, but a bit dry and a little bland. The potato salad was pretty much supermarket tub quality. Edible, but not very interesting.
Also sampled my wife's ribs and fries and those were very good.
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area, but there are plenty of other BBQ places in the valley at least this good.
