★★★☆☆ 3.0 Nick · Feb 2026

Stopped by this barbecue spot after seeing tons of Instagram food influencers hype it up. The brisket wasn’t completely dry, but it definitely wasn’t moist or juicy either , just kind of middle of the road. Overall, it’s decent barbecue, but with all the online hype, it ended up feeling a bit overhyped. Potato salad was in point 🔥

★★★★★ 5.0 Olivia Tichy · Feb 2026

One of the top spots for bbq in Mesa. Their brisket is perfect everytime. I love the brisket egg and cheese burrito and the brisket sandwich. Add smoked ghost pepper for a delicious kick, but be warned! The mac salad and potato salad are great too. Service is always quick and friendly!

Under construction. New employees? I heard so many good things about this place. It really did not deliver. 45 minute wait to get food. So many people were waiting. I should have just left. Brisket Bean and Cheese lacked much. Next to no cheese and very little brisket. I don't what it was but I am not interested in trying again.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Three16 · Feb 2026

I give them a 3.5 rating, more towards the 3, than the 4. No bathrooms, outside seating with lots of flies. Big line of people, and food is served slowly. I had the brisket, egg, and cheese burrito, sides of refried beans and rice. The burrito was big, and filling, but was lacking flavor. The rice was lacking flavor, same with the beans. At the end of the burrito, a large amount of greese began spilling out. This place is definitely not a 4.6 star bbq joint. My wife had the 1/2 rack of ribs, and potato salad, she liked them, and I tasted the potato salad, and it tasted good.

Such a fun place! We love their chips and Salsa we always get a big bag and a couple of quarts when we have a party. The brisket bean and cheese burrito is my favorite. I keep meaning to take a picture to add but I gobble it up to fast! Don’t thing just go!
