Take out brisket and pulled pork were smoky and savory. Order the BBQ sauce to go. Get there early because they can sell out of ribs.

First time visit. Great BBQ is about the food, not the ambiance. Best of Phoenix 10 of the last 14 years. We had brisket, pulled pork and St. Louis ribs. Great rubs/flavors, tender, expertly smoked. The surprise was the wonderfully flavorful bbq beans and big helping of tasty jalapeño corn bread. Only open Thursday-Sunday. I would recommend catering to large family or corporate event which owner will accommodate any day of week. We will be back.

Barbecue has always been amazing every time we have eaten there. One of our favorite places to get barbecue.

We just had catered brisket, beans, and Mac and cheese for 25 people(my mother's 80th birthday!) Huge success! The group loved ALL of it. Thank you for helping make her day wonderful!

Tried this for the first time and we really enjoyed the brisket and burnt ends. We look forward to coming back!

Rustic, quaint a cozy. Friendly, attentive & helpful service. Our brisket and pulled pork bun sandwiches were stuffed with tender & flavorful deliciousness. Hubby liked the original BBQ sauce and I loved the BBQ sweet sauce for our sandwiches. Hubby had a side of beans, I had the potato salad, both were tasty. Got a HUGE brownie to go that was "fudgey" yummy. We'll be back!

Best BBQ in north Phoenix. Brisket is to die for!!! Come early as they sell out pretty quickly!

Awesome place. Just about everything is GF and Amazing !!!! Small place and feels like a little bbq place you find on some backroad in Alabama. !! Which just adds to the ambiance. Great service and the food is always fantastic!!!! They have limited hours so check it out before you go. But you will not be disappointed!!

Very good BBQ! They recommend buying in bulk, versus the (3) two meat and sides platters. & received 10% first responder discount! Classy.

Smells delicious! This was our first visit and will not be our last. We already have plans for them to cater our fantasy football draft. The food is amazing, meats are cooked to perfection, potato salad is lit and the queso bacon fries are fire! The ghost bbq is hot, like super hot. The sweet Carrie's a little heat but not to much and the original is on point, no heat. Super friendly staff and speedy service. These guys are awesome.
