“Very dissapointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

We probably won't be returning to this place. We arrived without a reservation but had only a short wait however once seated it was downhill. The "special" margarita was undrinkable, when the busboy dropped silverware down my back it he just kept going, no one ever came to see if I was ok or to offer to clean up my... More

“Delish.”

We made our reservation on Open Table and we were immediately seated on a busy Friday night. We were warmly greeted by our server Jeff ( who recently returned from 6 years in the service with 2 tours of dury in Afghanistan which we found out when we chatted with him--- thank you for your service to our country).

My husband and I were looking for a great barbeque place and found it! It's our new go-to restaurant while visiting or passing through Phoenix.

“OMG the BEST in Phoenix and maybe the world!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

My husband and I tried this place after reading that it had one of the best burgers in the Phoenix area. We have been back time and time again, and always it is a difficult decision what to get. Unbelievably fork-tender, melt-in-your-mouth brisket; the superb pulled pork; the ribs, and yes, the burger....it is a horrible decision to have to... More

“This is a must-do for every trip to Phoenix”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2013

We first ate here three years ago and came back again during our 2013 Spring Training trip. Love this place -- the food and the atmosphere are both superb! Will come back every time I visit Phoenix! [service was less than stellar at this visit, but the food and unique environment made up for that fact]

My husband is a BBQ fanatic and this restaurant was one of his favorite spots to visit. Service was prompt and friendly. Atmosphere is very welcoming to all. Food was spectacular. Ribs were so good as were sides as others have reviewed. There is something for everyone. Enjoy!

The dining room had a great rustic comfy barbequey atmosphere and the food was awesome. I had the brisket and pulled pork combo with... More
