Best BBQ and Sides We've Had in Scottsdale! Boo & Henry's is an absolute gem! If you're looking for authentic barbecue, incredible sides, and a great atmosphere, this is the place. We ordered the brisket plate with collard greens and smoked wedge potatoes, and it was phenomenal. The brisket was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The collard greens were perfectly seasoned, and the smoked potatoes were absolutely unbelievable--crispy on the outside, smoky and flavorful on the inside. They may have stolen the show! We also enjoyed the half chicken plate with dirty rice and homemade mac & cheese. The chicken was moist and delicious, the dirty rice was full of flavor, and the mac & cheese tasted like something straight from Grandma's kitchen. The atmosphere was just as impressive as the food. Great energy, welcoming staff, and a fun vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Our server was spectacular--attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. As a bonus, Boo & Henry's hosts a bourbon and cigar meetup every other week, making it a great spot for those who enjoy good bourbon, cigars, and great company. We'll definitely be back. If you're searching for amazing barbecue with some of the best sides around, do yourself a favor and visit Boo & Henry's. You won't be disappointed! read more

This was a great first visit! It took over a month to get back to this review. We had friends visiting and staying near Scottsdale. My husband saw it on YouTube. We decided to give it a try. An afternoon visit on a weekend was a perfect time. We were seated right away and our guests had arrived by the time I returned from the restroom. The restroom was clean and has a pleasant decor. Yes, the restroom says a lot about an establishment. I ordered the 5 Cheese Mac N Crack with BBQ Pork. It was filling and half came home for dinner. My husband ordered the Jumbo Wings with 5 Cheese Mac n Crack & Pot Likker Greens. Both meals were delicious to include the cornbread. The drive from the west valley was worth it. We had great food and fellowship. The restaurant is cozy. The staff is kind and the Chef is a delight. read more

I visited here for the first time in June and I had a pleasant experience. I enjoyed the entire meal, all of the items we tried were good. The service was also great, and I liked that the owner was onsite walking around and talking to guests. There seems to be a few regulars that come into here which is a good sign. They also have some really great daily specials. read more

We were visiting Scottsdale for the day and really wanted BBQ. We found this restaurant. The vibe was nice inside, our waitress Angelica was excellent, and it was clean inside. Everything on our plates tasted good except the mashed potatoes were very watery (and it wasn't because of the gravy), the cornbread had no taste (needs to be sweeter), the sauces were meh, and then there was the issue with the paper and the ham. Why would you place paper when you have to cut something? Every time I cut my ham the paper came with it so I had to pick the paper off (see photo). Please change this. The green beans were cooked perfectly and the cranberries, even though it was hot, was very good. My husband liked the baked beans because it was sweet & spicy at the same time. There was a gentleman with slicked backed hair that came to every table (about 6 altogether in the restaurant) that he went to and asked if everything was good, BUT he never came to our table. I don't understand why. Maybe because he saw that I was taking photos & was intimidated? I don't know. read more

Visited the spot last month to meet up with a friend for lunch, and was pleasantly pleased with the experience. First, this is a really nice location in North Scottsdale, and very well appointed with several booths, tables, and a fully stocked bar inside. What's notable about this restaurant? Is the fact that the owner works on the line and walks the floor greeting guests upon arrival. We had a really Great conversation about being from the south, with him being from Memphis and my family originating from Little Rock, Arkansas. I mentioned my fondness for visiting Memphis as a kid and trying out rendezvous ribs, which he promptly replied that they may have set the standard, but his ribs were better! Pretty bold claim, and I was definitely up for the challenge. My friend and I ordered a variety of items from the menu, including the combination platters with greens, macaroni, and cheese, cornbread, and the fried dill Pickles appetizer. Overall, I found the food to be really good, flavorful, well seasoned And well proportioned. And what did I think of the ribs? Well, I won't say they were rendezvous Great, but they were definitely good. No insult there as rendezvous ribs is probably one of the best rib spots in the country, but I definitely think their barbecue Could be considered top notch in the Scottsdale. In addition to a really great menu, they have really strong service in restaurant, so if you're thinking about bringing your family somewhere, and having a bite to eat, this is definitely a place. I would try out. read more

Visiting from the East, I never really thought of Scottsdale as a BBQ destination, but this place proved me wrong. I happened to stop in on a day when they were offering a BBQ buffet, which was a great way to sample a little of everything at a reasonable price. I really enjoyed all the meats I tried -- the ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken wings were all flavorful and well‑done. The cornbread was a standout, with small pieces of jalapeño baked in for a nice kick. Coleslaw was just okay, nothing I'd go back for, but the baked beans and collard greens were both solid sides that paired well with the meats. There were plenty of dessert options, but I was way too full to even attempt them. The restaurant itself is clean, nicely decorated, and the service was good throughout my visit. A pleasant BBQ surprise in the Arizona desert. read more

Was there earlier today, 5:30 on a Saturday night. Sat at the bar, ordered a beer, told the bartender I was getting food to go, was excited about getting Memphis style ribs to go, looked at the side orders. Figured I would spend maybe 60-90 bucks. 15 minutes later I'm sitting at the bar, no help. Left a 10 spot and walked out. Not like they were busy, there was only one other customer.

This "BBQ" is literally so terrible. Their BBQ sauce is watery and tastes horrible. Their Mac and cheese is terrible as well. Everything we ordered was gross. The meat was okay. But who wants plain meat with nasty sauce? The service was okay. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are true BBQ fan. There's way better options in Phoenix/ Scottsdale. Avoid this place honestly. We literally didn't finish any of the food paid and left.....Also one of the employees thought it was be okay to hold his grey truck door against my brand new BMW M3. read more

My friend and I decided to check out AZ Restaurant week and Boo and Henry's. We were warmly greeted by the staff who sat us at a community table as all the other tables were taken. Boo and Henry's is a small restaurant with about 12 or so tables inside, a medium sized bar, and an outdoor patio. After a few minutes at the community table we were able to shift to another table that was further away from the bright sun. We checked out the menu and decided to share the pig out platter that was $55 and came with a choice of two sides, jalapeño corn bread with butter, and a mix of chicken sausage, ribs, blackened shrimp, and shredded beef. For our sides we got the potato salad and greens. Our server was very nice and honesty about the menu, which we both appreciated. The food took a little while for our food to come out, but we were chatting so much that we did not notice it too much. We were brought an array of sauces and I tried and liked the mild sauce and relly enjoyed it especially with the shredded beef. My favorite of the platter were the shrimp and ribs! The shrimp came with this spicy, Chipotle based sauce. It went great with the shrimp as well as the ribs. The greens and potato salad were delicious! To me the greens just needed a little more spice, so I added some hot sauce. The potato salad had these yummy chunks of potatoes, corn, and sauce that just popped with every bite. Overall my friend and I had an amazing time! Only negative was the very odd chicken sausage. My friend and I agreed that it tasted kind of funny and was not the best. Otherwise everything including the atmosphere were great! read more

My extended family all lived in Memphis so I was excited to try Boo and Henry's. My parents really like it so I was excited to... and it lived up to the high expectations!

I highly recommend to people who enjoy authentic Memphis BBQ! read more

Service friendly. Decor cute. Food not great. Pulled pork just "ok", ribs (tasteless) mediocre, Mac & cheese disappointing (clumpy & no taste). BBQ sauce nothing to write home about.

I was excited to try and looked up this place on Yelp after I ordered. I was a little nervous after reading the reviews. I ordered the two protein plate to go. I got the pulled pork and brisket. Both meats were tender, savory and lean. Also, the portion size were generous. I was very disappointed with the sides. I love bbq sides of done right. I ordered the potato salad and it was too runny and had no flavor. The coleslaw was odd. Had a bitter aftertaste. For me, I did not like it, and I LOVE coleslaw. Their cornbread was very moist but again lacked flavor. Overall it was okay. The meats were the star of the show. I wouldn't come back. read more

Could have been a one off seeing the reviews below, but we were not impressed. I came with my wife and son and the restaurant smelled and looked amazing. When we walked in, no one said hi, but there is a nice sign saying seat yourself. We sat ourselves and we're promptly greeted by our server. We explained it was our first time and she recommended the 3 meat to try a few meats and then brought us waters and went to help her other tables. She was kind and warm, but clearly occupied with being busy. We ordered the 3 meat sampler with pulled pork, burnt ends, and wings. My son ordered the kids jumbo tender. Our food took kind of long, but that was ok, it gave us a chance to sample all their bbq sauces. They have a heat rating, but if you like spicey food, then none will be hot here. Our sides were Mac and chz and the Cole slaw. My wife enjoyed the slaw and my son and I enjoyed the Mac n chz. My son didn't care for the jumbo tender, but my wife did. Different strokes I guess. The food was supposed to come with cornbread and when delivered none came, took like 5 or so minutes for our server to return and when we asked she apologized and told us they were out of cornbread... it was lunch time, so that was odd... maybe just more cooking. Idk. She asked if we wanted a roll instead, we said yes and about 10 min later they brought a hot dog bun that had garlic slurry on it and was toasted. It was good, but odd. The burnt ends were not good. They were rock solid and dry. I think I got a bad batch, like you have to go out of your way to make them that hard. My wife, like others below weren't fans of the smoked wings. I thought it was interesting that it was wing and drum combined, but my wife didn't and felt it was dry and hard to eat. Overall probably wouldn't go back as it i rather far from me and not good enough to go back if I am in the area. read more

I think the BOO in the name says it all. Husband went here tonight, and obviously didn't check YELP. But, $80 later, & 1/2 rack of ribs that were so dry sauce did nothing. Burnt Ends that were so covered in sauce you couldn't tell they were burnt ends, and 1/2 chicken- that he says was edible. The complementary cornbread was delicious, and the pickles were pretty good. Ours was takeout, so you don't know what you don't read more

Unassuming strip mall location on N Scottsdale road houses a BBQ gem. Appears geared for takeout but they offer casual dining with a full bar. Billed as Memphis style BBQ pork ribs are the star. Tender but still juicy with just the right amount of bite, they come with a slightly spicy dry rub accompanied by mild and hot BBQ sauces in sizes from 4 bones to full rack. Mac and cheese is their most popular side dish. A rich cheese sauce envelops extra large macaroni. The texture is remarkable. They also offer flavorful BBQ beans and a red cabbage cole slaw with a touch of cayenne pepper. Overall an enjoyable dining experience we will repeat. read more

Our little lunch group met here for lunch and will have to say that the BBQ was average at best. I had the two meat plate with brisket and ribs. Neither was a stand out. Brisket sliced a little thin for my liking and a little stingy on the amount for $30 bucks. Potatoes wedges were good and coleslaw was decent. The rest of the group had chicken wings, salad, sliders and Mac and cheese with pulled pork. All was fair no standout. Service was lacking. Took too long to get our lunch and came out in two separate times, service person never came to check after the meals were placed so I never got a refill on my soda and wasn't asked about it until well after I was finished. Great interior and great patio setting. Owner stopped by to say hello and gave us a little background on the story. Very nice of him.

Yep, I was happily surprised at how tasty the bbq was and will return. My partner ordered brisket that was oh-so tender accompanied by radioactive coleslaw and the crackin' Mac. My childhood friend who insisted we give Boo & Henry's a go ordered the 3-meat special (ribs, burnt ends and pulled pork) accompanied by a double side of crackin' Mac. Me?

Overpriced subpar food, horrible service. 3/20/25 first time, came for a late lunch with a friend. Stood at the door, unacknowledged for a few minutes. Once seated, server was a horrible listener and was too busy rapidly trying to upsell us on many items. The circular bottom tables are horribly unstable and almost flipped over when we leaned on it. Food was overpriced and forgettable. After 3:00 is happy hour so we ordered the potato salad, chicken wings, catfish bites, and fried pickles for $40! The potato salad was basically served in a thimble - the portions, for $10 each, were insulting. My friend ordered a half chicken that took agonizingly long to be served. The fried pickles were flabby, greasy, and barely had any batter on them. The catfish bites had no flavor and tasted like something you would get at a fast food place. The chicken wings had good flavor, but I have no idea why they leave the little pointy ends on the wings that nobody ever eats. You have to sit there and wrestle with the stupid things and detach them before you can eat your wing. Just dumb. Due to the small portions and horrible service we finished quickly and were ready to leave, but our server had his back to us and was working on rolling up silverware behind the counter. We were done eating for almost 10 minutes being completely ignored. I was about to get up and walk to the counter to tell our server when the manager or pit boss or whoever he is was walking around and asked how things were and I said "horrible" and that we had "been waiting for almost 10 minutes and your server is right there with his back to us." No apology. No attempt to remedy the situation. Just horrible lack of leadership management. Being a server at a restaurant is so basic that such disregard is unforgivable. You have one job - pay attention to your customer. Being a manager, especially at a new place and especially in Scottsdale, your main job is to make sure the food is amazing and the service is excellent. The prices are ridiculous. The food quality is mediocre. The portions are laughably small. The service is highly inattentive and apparently indifferent to paying customers. Nobody cared, not the server, not the manager, and so needless to say, never coming back. read more

Saturday 2/22/25 This is our first time there. Corey from channel 10 recommended it so we came from Prescott Valley to check it out. I ordered the two meat platter, which was brisket and ribs. I thought they were excellent. The beans were good. The cornbread tasted weird. They didn't have a beer list so I took the closest thing to a dark lager. It was OK. My girlfriend had pulled pork and potato salad. She was happy with that. The beans were too spicy for her. Vanessa was our server and did great kept checking on us. The total came to $70.59. Ambience was nice if we're in the area again we'll be back. read more

As a fellow Memphian, I of course, had to give this place a try and it did not disappoint. I'll be coming here when I feel homesick for some of my dad's BBQ for sure. The staff was incredibly friendly and I feel like compared to other BBQ places in town it was decently priced. My husband and I ordered the 3 meat plate to split which was plenty of food and we even had a little left over. We got the BBQ chicken, pulled pork, and brisket burnt ends. All the meats were fantastic, but I think the chicken ended up being my favorite, which never happens - it was just that good. For the sides, we got the mac and cheese and baked beans. The beans were ok but the mac and cheese, I will eat 5 more servings of that. Overall, definitely recommend! read more

I echo many of the other reviews. Service was great, and the restaurant itself is very welcoming, clean and looks great. We're not all that familiar with Memphis BBQ, but when I drove by recently, I mentioned it to my husband and we decided to check it out. We both decided to try to 2 meat platter, which includes jalapeno cornbread and two sides. He chose the brisket and for $3 more, the ribs, a long with beans and dirty rice. I went with the chicken sausage and smoked chicken wings with Mac & crack and potato salad. Hubby enjoyed his meal overall. I was less than thrilled. I found everything a bit dry. The chicken sausage practically crumbled when cut. Chicken is pretty lean and needed some fat or something to add moisture. The wings didn't have any smoke flavor, but I could tell they were smoked based on the color inside, but I think they were perhaps smoked for too long because there was no juiciness to them. The Mac & crack wasn't bad, but definitely needed to mix from the bottom of the bowl to get the creamy cheesiness. The potato salad had good flavor, but the potatoes were undercooked making them a bit hard. The cornbread also had good flavor - a strong taste of corn and jalapeno, but it was very dry. I think it may have been the manager who stopped by asking how it was and I was pretty honest with him, basically saying everything I said here. He did ask if there was something else I wanted instead and I assured him that no, I had eaten plenty so I was not leaving hungry at all. I hope they're able to make some adjustments to improve the food quality, because it could be a great place. We did say we'd probably be back to try something else. read more

Absolutely the worst BBQ experience I've ever had in Arizona. I ordered "wet ribs" and instead was served something that looked and tasted like dry, overcooked roadkill. When I politely asked for the ribs I actually ordered, the staff's response was to hand me a bottle of BBQ sauce and tell me to "make them wet myself." Unbelievable. The sides were just as insulting. The included $5 for a so-called "side" of potato wedges and received exactly six sad little pieces. Six. That's not a side, that's a joke. The cornbread was just as pathetic as everything else. It came out spongy, flavorless, and so dried out it crumbled apart with every bite. To top it off, it looked like someone had literally splashed water on it in a sad attempt to make it appear moist. Instead, it sat on the plate like a damp sponge pretending to be cornbread. And if that wasn't enough, my friend was served RAW chicken. Not undercooked, not slightly pink, absolutely raw. The kind of mistake that could put someone in the hospital. Yes, the manager apologized and offered us something free, but frankly, there's no fixing a disaster of a meal like this. We walked out disgusted, and I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. I will say, they did end up comping the meal and provided us with a gift card... But I'll never use it cause no way I come back. read more

The service was great, the owner was so nice and friendly. The food was excellent, everything we had was amazing. Of course we had ribs, cooked to perfection. The Cole slaw was different but really tasty. My sister in law had brought a bouquet of flowers for me because it was my birthday. The owner found out and went back himself and made me a delicious Sunday and had the staff sing to me. I turned 83, that was just a sweet and nice thing to do for me.

This really was some tasty BBQ and the space overall is laid out well. Sat myself on the wrap around patio and took some time with the menu to see the best way to have some variety. I ultimately decided on the sliders, which comes with one of each pork, chicken, and beef. The server was very friendly, they may have been newer because they asked what aside I wanted. I asked if it came with a side, was told yes, so I ordered beans. Upon paying at the end of the meal I was charged for the beans after all. NBD, I'm sure it was an honest mistake and the portion size of the sliders was worth it anyway. Go here! read more
