    I've lived in the area for 5 years and just went here for the first time.....wow. The best BBQ!! I tried the spare ribs and jalapeño cheddar sausage. SO good! The ribs were tender and juicy and the sausage was perfectly cooked. The mac and cheese was a little underwhelming, needed some more flavor. The French fries were delicious! Love the house bbq sauce but the spicy was way too spicy for me. My husband had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and he was sweatin'. Service was quick considering the lunch rush and everyone behind the counter was nice! I like the picnic table set up in the dining room.

    Here I am in Arizona eating at a really great bbq place, who would have thought! I love places like this! Order your food at the counter, pay, have a seat and eat. My kind of place! The place had all kinds of pictures and licenses plates on the wall. It made the place unique! I ordered smoked brisket, pastrami, beef sausage and onion rings. Food was on point!!! Overall great spot! I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this place!

    Walked in and received friendly loud greeting. Walk up and order your meats then your sides, last desserts, then pay. Ordered the brisket, pulled pork, Mac n cheese, potatoe salad and pudding. The brisket was nice and tender. Good flavor without even any sauce on it not very fatty like other places. The pulled pork had lots of flavor, very good mac & cheese. The potato salad was a little on the sour side but good. The pudding was excellent. We didn't think we would finish all this, but we sure did. Can't wait to come back when we're in town again..

    Had a little outing on the west side. Super tender and flavorful meats! Everyone's favorite were the pulled pork, it was ridiculously juicy! The chicken and beef brisket were super good also. We were given pastrami to try and it was super nice of the owner/worker. Never tried and must say it is super delicious as well. The potato salad, pickled vegetables,& bread with the sauce are all hits!

    We stopped in this weekend after a hot day in the sun. It was pretty unassuming from the outside. It smelled amazing and when I thought I wasn't that hungry at first, it totally changed my mind. They had plenty of options, but I chose their turkey and a side of coleslaw. We also ordered a pastrami sandwich, a side of pickles and one of their beers on draft. I wish I could remember the name because it was pretty good. I don't typically like regular beer, but this had a good flavor. service was great. We had our food quickly and found one of the last tables available inside. there are also tables outside if you'd like to sit out there the food was really good. The coleslaw was amazing not super acidic but great flavor. Turkey was moist and the thick slice had a pretty full fast. The pastrami sandwich was also a hit prices are fair we'd come back again.

    I live on the east side of town, but I will have to admit that this place is definitely one of my top spots on the west side of town for some BBQ and I have plans to order brisket from them in the future along with the pastrami!!! The brisket & pastrami were on point!!! I honestly told myself, I'm not doing the 7-10 day brine, smoke, etc... for my pastrami! I'm just gonna say to Eric's BBQ, "take my money". Yeah... since then, I had my cousin place an order (as he leaves not to far) for a family gathering we had and it resonated once again with all my visitis. Inside is simple and spaced out well. The good thing, the line is inside the building so come the summer heat, it shouldn't be so bad. I'm all about that brisket when I come. The Ribs are great as well. The mac & cheese I believe was with jalapeños and a pleasant surprise. They have their own bbq sauces if needed. My eyes were doing so much, I decided to get some catfish to go!! Another hit! Looking forward to another return ASAP!

    The bill for all that good food. Took the leftovers home.

    Our Friday Night Dinner Highlight We made the drive to check out the BBQ hype. It hit the spot! That Prime Rib sandwich and Mac & Cheese I couldn't get enough of Before we left I had to try the Taco Dorado and Oh My BBQ! Don't skip out on that taco. Great customer service with fast paced line service as well. The wall has the menu to view as your waiting. Decide and be respectful of the line. Plenty of seating inside and out.

    Cole slaw, turkey, brisket, beans, potato salad, Mac and cheese. Everything delicious!!

    Omg! We pulled up 5 minutes before they opened and there was already a line forming and a bunch of people waiting in their cars. Thats a good sign! Line moved very quickly, there were four of us, we shared brisket, turkey, coleslaw, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. The meats were both juicy and flavorful, great spice crust, especially on the brisket. I always judge a bbq place by the sides, and we found an absolute winner here!! I'm not a coleslaw fan, but the others reported it was good. The beans were meaty and delicious. The potato salad was simple but good, very mustardy, which to me is a plus, but that Mac and Cheese!! Absolutely to DIE FOR!! I will be dreaming about that Mac and cheese. I'm actually eating the leftovers as I write this, and I'm going to be so sad when it is gone! Two thumbs up to whoever created the 80s/90s playlist too! I was a fan!

    Found this place on Yelp and was an amazing lunch! The brisket is super tender, no need to drench in sauce. My husband got the pastrami sandwich and he demolished it. The sides are $6 each and they fill the container. The Mac and cheese was amazing but the elote was bomb! Lots of parking, outdoor patio, reasonable prices and no wait. Highly recommend!

    Prime rib

    Excellent BBQ. We had the brisket, pulled pork and prime rib. The brisket was well cooked, tender, moist, a wonderful smoke flavor. The pulled pork was my favorite and,again, was very moist and full of a deep Smokey flavor. The pitmaster clearly knows how to produce wonderful meats. The prime rib was fine but I likely will not be reordering it. In terms of sides, all were excellent....the Mac and cheese is some of the best I e ever had in a restaurant and both the cole slaw and potato salad were great excellent, traditional versions. We also had the pecan pie and will definitely do that again. All in all a great experience. You should give them a try!

    Cool bbq spot! Came here for a friend's birthday and the place was packed! Food was top tier which made the wait worth it. The line was long when we got there but the staff is very efficient and kept the line moving! All the meat we tried everything was super tasty, juicy and well seasoned. Worth the prices you're paying, be sure to try a little bit of everything! My favorite sides were the Mac and the elote corn soo good. Coleslaw is always a must to cut all the meat you're eating. Lots of drink options alcoholic and non. Be sure to get there early to find parking and get in line to order! There's a few arcade games inside and two bathrooms. Staff was nice and friendly(: would come here again!!!

    Always a tasty place. Arrived too late for their Mac and cheese for the day. Turkey was juicy and tender.

    This bbq spot was absolutely amazing! It's a must visit when ur on the west side of the valley! The beef brisket was absolutely amazing! It was soo juicy and packed with flavor! The chicken was also good, and extremely tender. My favorite was the pulled pork! The inside is really big with plenty of seating, and all entire place was nice and clean. The staff were amazing and they gave us great recommendations and make sure to ask for samples if ur unsure on what to get!

I had the dry Irish stout and it was outstanding. The host thoughtfully asked if I preferred a high top or a low top table before seating my party. Very thoughtful. Our server was Vanessa. She gets her own paragraph. Friendly, attentive, detailed, responsive, engaging -- clearly in the zone and was very happy to be there. I work in customer service. I know what it's like to have good people. Vanessa is exceptional. The food was great. We got a couple of burgers. Tasty. I had the onion rings with mine -- a very generous portion and also tasty. Music volume was at a tasteful level. It was present but didn't get in the way of conversations. Much appreciated.

    Chose to come here for dinner with friends…read more Chillax vibe. Host was very friendly and we made it for Trivia Tuesday!!!!! Our server was very attentive and checked on us eer so often. We all got beers. They have rotating craft beers and on this trip, they had a selection of 12. My colleagues got strawberry Bitch and I got the nitro blonde honey ale called Show your Stripes. We ordered the jalapeko Bomber Dip to start - it came with 3 pieces of toasted baguette and chips. This dip is delicious - nicely spiced. Our entrees were delicious as well. One friend got the biria dip- half portion with cheese curds, the other friend got holy yum burger with cheese curds. I got the thai chicken sando with sweet potato waffle fries. Chicken was suitably spiced and tender. Pickled onions were delicious paired with the carrots and sauce. Ooo n the waffle fries- crispy and delicious. It stayed crispy for very long too. Even though we couldnt eat anothet bite. - we challenged ourselves further with donuts lol And boy were we glad we did! Crispy tender lightly dusted with cinnamon and sugar. And cane with hot fudge and vanilla glaze on the side!! And to top it off, the sunset trivia!!! It was fun!! We love this! Unfortunately, since we are from out of town. Id say we will be back when we are in this area. 5 STARS!!!!

Now I have the time since I won't be able to eat the rest of my food. I ordered over the phone and was told the food would take 15 minutes. I ordered 5 pieces of the Fish Fry and double fries and my girlfriend got the Hatch Chili Burger and upgraded to Sweet Potato fries for $2+ dollars. I live 2 minutes away down the street. I left 20 minutes after my order was made. When I get there I tell the cashier I have a to-go order and he has me pay. After I finish paying, he walks away without saying a word to me and starts sweeping the floor. I just wait and we make eye contact multiple times and he doesn't say anything. I assumed my food was ready because it had already been 25 minutes since I ordered. I realized maybe it's not ready, my mistake, I sit down in the table near the counter. He's watching me sit down and the literal exact moment I sit down he yells out that my order is ready. And when I get up to go get it, that's when he starts putting it in the bag. He doesn't go to the kitchen or anything so I don't know if my order was just sitting there this whole time and he was just waiting for me to sit down for some reason? I'm in no rush so I don't care its been 35 minutes at this point so I give him the benefit of the doubt still, and move on. Stacks the tartar sauce as he's trying to put everything in the bag and the stack falls over and a sauce falls on the floor. He looks at me and looks at the floor then he looks around the sauce drawer and puts another 3rd sauce which I assumed was another tartar sauce. It ended up being ranch. I wouldn't have cared if he just told me that he was out of tartar sauce but I guess trying to deceive me with ranch is a better option. At this point I would've still given a 4 STAR or even 5 STAR review if the food held up because it's a local business and I don't want some weird bald guy deter people from good food. After my 2 minute drive home we opened our containers that held extremely soggy and half cold sweet potato fries. I ordered double fries with my fish so my pile of fries were double soggy and partly cold too. I ate 2 pieces of Fish Fry and they were alright. I would've ordered them again and I was excited because I had a huge piece of fish fry I was going to have next. However I realized it was 2 pieces of fish fry stuck together causing the stuck sides to be soggy and have semi uncooked breading. The biggest piece I was excited for was the biggest disappointment. The only saving grace was the Hatch Chili Burger. The beef patties were soft and cooked well, unlike the last 3 pieces of fish fry. We spent $40 dollars on the entire thing. And we only ate the burger and 2 fish from the meals. Super convenient location for food that I will be completely avoiding in the future. TLDR: Bad service if bald guy is there. Was told 15 minutes but food took around 30-35 minutes. Let's you guess if your food is ready or not after he has you pay. Waits for you to sit down to tell you it's ready when it was possibly just sitting infront of him. Drops tartar sauce and tries to sneak ranch instead of just telling me that he can't/doesn't wanna replace it. Get home, half of order is soggy&cold. ALL fries including upcharged fries were soggy. Only Hatch Chili Burger was good. SPENT $40 and it was 2 meals that were less than mediocre overall. Normally I can ignore most bad service/attitudes but this dude sucked and doesn't like to communicate with customers. Below are photos of what I thought was a "big piece" of fish fry flipped around and then after I separate the two pieces.
