This place is great! I've never had BBQ served this way. By which I mean, sold by the pound, given to you on a piece of paper and family style seating. I'm also not a huge BBQ fan and I live in CA, the largest melting pot of food along with the best fish taco nation ever so this is all foreign to me. While we have a ton of BBQ joints, it's never been my first choice.
I was visiting AZ and went here with a girlfriend of mine who is from TX. While she had been to this chain in TX, she states it's just average...I thought it was amazing :)
The concept and service was awesome. They let you sample everything and don't push you along like cattle. I ended up getting smoked turkey...holy cow it was good! As a side I got the three bean salad, I liked it, nothing special but three bean salad isn't really special. The condiment area had a ton of options too. I do wish they had more BBQ sauces (they only have two) but the ones they do have are good.
The line was long but no biggie, it gave me time to build my beer bucket from the metal troughs full of bottled beer, soda and ice...loved this fun touch. Place is affordable too. I'll be back for sure :)
