Our first time here. Light was too much for me, it bothered me the entire time since I wear glasses and the glare was annoying. But we ordered a Coke, waiter brought back a Pepsi and he asked who had a Pepsi and we all said we didn't order a Pepsi.. then he replied by saying "Oh well you asked for it" and we said "No we asked for coke" then he responded "Well we don't have coke, only Pepsi" well should've told us before because he didn't mention anything. Maybe we wanted something else other than him assuming us wanting Pepsi? Making us feel like we didn't know what we ordered or what we were talking about. He also wasn't the talkative person at all and personally didn't make it feel that welcoming. The other waiter that wasn't ours was so talkative and nice to his table next to us. I accidentally dropped a knife and he immediately picked it up and brought back a new one for me and he wasn't even my waiter, I wish I knew that guys name but I would have preferred him any day!

We took our young adult children here for lunch. It was the first time for all of us. The food was very good. We all had something different and we were not disappointed! We all decided to have a mixed drink and they actually looked like the photos in the menu! Those were incredible! I will be coming back here again!

Loved the ambiance. Very unique. Started with the Q-rolls. Not healthy at all, and absolutely delicious. Then they came out with some legit corn bread (yum). I ordered the 3 meat entree with brisket, pulled pork and baby back ribs, and mashed potatoes / brussel sprouts sides. The meal was outstanding. Everything was tender, smoked and seasoned amazingly. Potatoes were well seasoned and had great texture. The brussel sprouts were tossed with bacon and were a little al dente (just how I like them). The server offered dessert, which we declined. But then she came back with a small bag with hot, fresh homemade donuts. Again, not healthy, and absolutely delicious. I will come back next time I'm in Phoenix.

Excellent dinner. Food and service was amazing. There was a very small mistake with an item, no big deal. We were not even going to mention anything. Our server and manager approached our table, recognized and resolved the issue before anything. They went above and beyond. Again, dinner was excellent. Give this place a chance. The service alone is worth it. Ask for Colby.

My fiance and I ate here yesterday at about 4pm for our 9th anniversary dinner and loved our entire experience! We also adore the patio surrounded by plants and want to eat out there once it's cool enough. The hostess who sat us, her name is Rebecca, was apparently new but we couldn't even tell! She was sweet and professional. Our waiter, Hunter, was phenomenal. His kindness and patience when my neurological condition caused me to fumble my words, misread the menu, or misplace my ID was comforting. This condition only started a couple of months ago so it's still extremely humiliating and frustrating for me when I experience symptoms around other people but Hunter's demeanor made it just as comfortable as eating at home. I did accidentally concern Hunter once with my response to him saying something along the lines of "we have the best barbecue in the valley". I think I may have rolled my eyes and I replied with an unintentionally harsh "we'll see." I immediately felt bad and had to explain that we're from Texas so our bar for good barbecue is so high that nowhere in Arizona had ever reached it despite us being told "best BBQ in the valley" over and over. He seemed intrigued and wanted our opinions on the food once we were done. We ordered Texas Twinkies (stuffed jalapenos) as our appetizer, I got the Q-Rolls for my meal with a Watermelon Cooler to drink, and Dylan got the Smokehouse Burger with Dr Pepper to drink. The Watermelon Cooler was delicious and when all of the food arrived we were blown away! The brisket was so unbelievably soft, the BBQ sauce was tasty and smokey, and overall the food was just phenomenal. A warning though: the BBQ sauce is so smokey that it may be too much for some people. We loved it. The only complaint either of us had was that Dylan's burger was a bit dry and that was fixed by just adding some extra BBQ sauce. When we finished eating and requested to-go boxes we were surprised with a free Chocolate Brownie! It was divine. Then when we were done with that and got the check Hunter also brought us free donuts to take home! After all of that we knew we had to leave a glowing review everywhere possible and also put a $40+ tip on our $85 check. Our servers went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable and we greatly appreciate it <3 . We plan to return, even though we live about an hour away, and we'll be bringing more people with us!

So, we all know that bbq is expensive but what I liked about this place is that they give you A LOT of food. I absolutely enjoyed my meal, the ribs were falling off the bone and the brisket was very good too! The donuts that they give you are extremely good too. Oh and we had q-rolls for an appetizer which was tasty too

Very good experience! I have been there twice in one week. I ate the best brisket of my life but I can't tell the same of the beef ribs. The waitresses are so gentle and pleasant . I will go again for sure. Thank you for the good experience.
