    I love going here. The food is great and the people are kind. I'm also happy with the cleanliness and atmosphere. If you like ribs try the St Louis it's fall of the bone delicious!

    What an incredible place to have a meal, they do everything the right way. The servers are all friendly and really helpful in their suggestions from the menu. The food is absolutely fantastic - large portions, well seasoned and delicious. If you are in Phoenix, this should be on your list of restaurants to have a meal!

    Really good food. I got the fish fry special because it was Friday. The mac was super cheesy & beans were good too. The corn bread comes first like chips and salsa, which I didn’t know about, that was cool!

    What a great atmosphere. Loved the interior look of the place and you’re hit with that classic smoked meat scent as soon as you walk in. We got the 3 meat platter with Texas ribs, brisket, and pulled pork which comes with two sides. We chose broccoli which comes buttered and garlicked 🤤 and the ranch beans, which we very flavorful. I got the brisket tacos which also comes with a side, so I chose the roasted corn. I also ordered the “soup of the day” which was chicken tortilla. You get complimentary sweet cornbread and butter while you wait for your food.

    Mac and cheese is to die for summer the bartender, I had made the most perfect peach Belini. I will definitely be back in excellent service, much better location.

    Disappointed overall - 3.8. The food was warm when it came out but near flavorless. It's like they forgot seasoning on the meat when slow cooking it. The "Beer Fries" (up charge of $1.50) tasted like normal fries with an extra greasy appearance. Again, they forgot salt and pepper. Tasted like a bland potato. The BBQ sauce was good however! Slightly "spicy" with a hint of tangy and a good sweetness. The $14 cocktail took my girlfriend a matter of seconds to drink because it was maybe a shot and a half of liquor, she loved it :) Service staff was OK. Our waiter was shy and they brought us the wrong food at first, which caused a bit of confusion for everyone. The staff just left the incorrect food in front of us unattended then came and picked it up to bring to the correct table. The evening was finished off with complimentary donuts to take home. Just more fried food but it was a nice touch - I won't be returning.

    Bob’s Salad, nice presentation for takeout. Appreciate the separation of the delicious chicken, very tasty for being a salad. Cornbread was scrumptious and served warm. Plenty of parking around. The chicken was surprisingly good. I will definitely try other items,…

    This spot was an awesome experience. Easy parking & near lots of shopping. We made a reservation, so we were seated quickly. Good service, great food & loved the ambiance. 🌿You gotta try the rib pieces! The atmosphere at this Camelback location is far better then the 27th Ave location, as is the food & the service! Would love to repeat my visit. My only complaint: our server did not give us any mini donuts 😒

    A friend recommended this place… so glad we went. Server was the best. Complementary corn bread was amazing. Brisket was phenomenal. Fries were crispy. As if that wasn’t enough they gave us complimentary homemade donuts to end this fabulous date. 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Went here in a date night with the wife. Had the wings which were amazing. I highly recommend. Also had the 2 meat plate with ribs and beef brisket. Ribs fell off the bone and were in a good sauce. Brisket was ok but a little too much fat on them for my liking. The only disappointment was the corn bread. It was pretty dry and flavorless imo. Had butter cake for dessert and it was just OK. Overall good meal.

    Yummy food at a reasonable price at this hidden gem, neighborhood family restaurant. Wait-staff Xavier was friendly and did a great job. Had the cole slaw (was pleasantly surprised at the great taste - had pecans in it), brisket tacos ( lots of meat) chicken tortilla soup, corn bread, strawberry Margareta- great taste with their own Margareta mix, not sugary at all. Lots if lime and strawberry flavor, brisket burnt-ends ( excellent barbeque flavor). They gave us free warm cinnamon sugar donuts at the end of the meal - very tasty. The homemade salsas were great. Good place for singles, couples, family, and groups ( could push tables together. Recommend reservation for large group. We were there on a Wed aft, and the vibe was very relaxed. Excellent ambiance and country music with indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

    This is a great restaurant. Food and service were excellent. We've been to two locations and have been impressed with both. All five of us loved our meal. Looking forward to going back when in town. Especially to get the hot donuts as we walk out the door!

    We just had the absolute best experience, our server Javier made our day! He was very knowledgeable, made perfect suggestions and timed everything perfectly. Best server experience 💕💕 oh and the food was amazing too!

  • 5/5 Paul M. 5 months ago on Google
    Came here with my wife and 3 year old daughter. We ended up ordering a 2 choice meat plate (brisket and baby back ribs) with a side of macaroni & cheese and loaded mashed potatoes to split. We also got a large wedge salad which they were nice enough to split on two plates for us. Our daughter got a child’s plate (chicken nuggets and French fries). They brought us a basket of cornbread to start, good start we ate it all! All the food was excellent! My wife liked the ribs best and I liked the brisket best. We actually couldn’t finish everything! After paying they were nice enough to give us a small bag of fried donuts, mmmmmmm. Overall an excellent experience! Service was decent and servers were helpful and friendly. The place was also clean, and bathrooms were well kept.

    The ribs here are legit. They’re cooked just right, falling off the bone, with a sauce that’s got the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The mac and cheese is straight-up comfort in a bowl – rich and cheesy without being too heavy. And the fries? Crispy on the outside, just how they should be. No-fuss good food that hits the spot. If you’re looking for a solid meal that doesn’t try too hard, this is the place. Would definitely come back for more. Also had the taxes beef ribs… amazing.

  • 5/5 Charles M. 4 months ago on Google
    I haven't had bbq in years and when I came across this place I couldn't resist, first the cornbread is perfect, and I got rib tips also delicious, but then I ordered beef and pork ribs to go and so far I can't wait to get home to eat them,.... oh yeah, and I'm picky when it comes to coleslaw, no problems here!

    The food here is to die for. We got the full hog meal to share between us and we got Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and beans with ribs and sausage and brisket. The St. Louis ribs were absolutely elite. I couldn’t believe how good they are. The sausage was second best with an incredible sear and the brisket was so good. The appetizers were very good (the deep fried brisket rolls were amazing) the wings didn’t have a ton of flavor, but still I was pleasantly surprised with how incredible every single thing was. Nothing missed the mark. The restaurant has a beautiful brick interior with incredible details on the ceilings and a very homey feeling while being higher end. Pricing is on the high end, but you get what you Pay for. I’d plan on at least 30$ a person if you want to experience the meat. Incredible experience, the manager checking on us mid service was the cherry on top. Great job, Bobby-Q!

    My second visit and we were celebrating my son’s birthday with his wife and our 18 month old grandson. The server seemed like he had no interest in providing a nice dining experience as well as he had no personality. He went thru the motions and got us our drinks and took our order. He delivered the drinks and 3 of the meals in a timely fashion, however my daughter in law and my grandson’s dinner took another 10 minutes. Small children do not have patience and if anything should be served before the adults. During this time he never updated us or showed any concern. i had the baby back ribs and they were mediocre lacking flavor and a bit dry. I was wanting additional barbecue sauce and had to wait until the food runner delivered their meals to ask for some. I have never been to a barbecue restaurant and not had either sauce on the table or delivered with the food. The only time he seemed friendly was when he delivered the bill. I did tip him 20% but probably should have only done 10%. I left very disappointed after spending almost $200. I’m sure there are better options.

    Xavier was our waiter. He was professional and accommodating. You are allowed 3 servings or cornbread and it’s mouthwatering. We had the Wedge, Bobs salad, Ribtips and a burger for lunch. Everything was excellent, meat was tasty and tender, salad and toppings were fresh. Little donuts as a small treat. The peach princess was a hit for me. Definitely returning

    The service here was very pleasant, even when we had one member of our group asking a ton of questions - they remained patient and helped him decide on his meal. I didn't fancy the shrimp appetizer I got as my own meal (very pricey for what it was, as well..), but everyone else loved their food, and my macaroni was spot on so I just chose my main course badly that night it seems! The place was very clean and had a nice vibe!

  • 3/5 Amy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great first experience. The staff was awesome and very friendly. Complimentary corn bread to start with; it was okay but too heavy for our liking. Food was decent, more for those with a sweet tooth. Will have to try something different next time.

  • 5/5 AJ W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good experience. I had the passion fruit Mai Tai- so refreshing after a hot summer day. So many great food options on the menu it was hard to choose! Parking was easy as it's in a shopping center. Service was also very good. We would definitely visit again if we're in Phoenix again.

  • 5/5 Harvey T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for great BBQ, come hungry the portions are huge. The staff is friendly and inviting, Xavier, our waiter was very courteous and knowledgeable about this awesome BBQ, we got the hog platter with coice of sampling many different meat and sides. It feeds 2 to 4 people. This is a must go place Will definitely go again 👍👍👍
