I was really excited about going here because we love BBQ. While the food was fine, the atmosphere was really off-putting. \n\nThe food: We went around 6:00 on a Friday and they were out of chicken and ribs. I don't know if this is a normal thing, but it was disappointing to not even try the meats we wanted to. We ordered 2 plates - 1) pulled pork, waffle fries and coleslaw 2) brisket, waffle fries and mac and cheese. The meat was served dry, as others have noted, and there are 4 different sauces to try. I didn't love any of the sauces, but the mustard based sauce was interesting enough for me to use on my meat. I think the seasoned waffle fries were the highlight (which is sad, really, as they were probably one of the only things here that comes to the store frozen...). I didn't care for the mac and cheese (tasted only of swiss to me) and the coleslaw was made with a pre-shredded mix and boring dressing. Nothing interesting about it. My husband thought the brisket was good, but didn't care for the chunks it was cut into, as he prefers chopped or thinner slices. \n\nThe atmosphere: Although I knew ahead of time that it was in an office-park type setting across from Deer Valley airport, I still felt weird eating here. Maybe it's more of a pick-up place? The restaurant was dirty and worn and the staff was unenthusiastic about being there. \n\nOverall: Head over to Bryan's Black Mountain BBQ in Cave Creek instead. Although they have less side options available, Byran's has a better atmosphere and good food. I'm still waiting to find that knock-your-socks off BBQ in Phoenix, though!
