While visiting the Phoenix/Scottsdale area for business I stopped in to Frasher's Smokehouse for lunch. I had never had BBQ pizza, and to be honest never really thought it sounded good. I was wrong. So glad I tried it out. It was A.mazing. I'm not sure I'm glad I tried it at Frasher's first because now I will probably be disappointed anywhere else. My traveling partner & I also ordered a sampler. It would be hard for me to say what was my favorite. I am glad we tried it out and if/when I return to the area I will happily eat here again. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! My husband and I were craving BBQ one night and stumbled upon this place and got the ribs, which were the best we've ever had in AZ. We later had them cater a pool party for us this weekend and George was a pleasure to work with. He was very kind and professional, and prepped/set-up all the food for us in a matter of minutes. So many people at the party raved about the food! We will definitely be returning for their business! read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - Catered BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

By far the best BBQ I've had in my years of eating BBQ. Super laid back, friendly vibe, with wonderful service. My boyfriend and I got a 4 meat platter and two sides: ribs, chicken, brisket, and pulled pork; green chili Mac and cheese and baked beans. Oh my Lord. Everything was perfectly tender, no dry meat here. It was so well seasoned and cooked it didn't need sauce, but when in Rome. All of the sauces were equally as wonderful, I couldn't choose a favorite! We definitely will be back! I highly recommend this place to anyone with or without a love for BBQ! We left absolutely stuffed! read more

We were meeting our kids in Phoenix to share Thanksgiving with them and were all traveling from outside of Arizona. I found Frashers Smokehouse on Google and called to check their menu and availability for Turkey Day takeout. We ended up ordering turkey and all the fixin's to be picked up on Thanksgiving day at 12:30pm. We arrived at Frashers Smokehouse at 12:15 for the pickup. They were very organized and found our order right away. They packaged everything up right then so the food would still be hot for serving by 1:15pm. We did not have any way to reheat any of the food where we were all staying. We served everything right away and were delighted with how great everything tasted. The turkey was moist and tasty. The corn, squash, mashed potatos and dressing were all delicious. I can't say enough good things about Frashers Smokehouse. We will definitely visit them on our next trip to Phoenix. read more

Great flavors! Ribs and mashed potatoes with corn. Meat falls off the bone Loved it! Will definitely order again. read more

Went in tonight and ordered two three meat combos. After we ordered five more customers walked in. They all got their orders before we did. I walk up and ask why the girl asked my name and said it is here now. She then gave two more orders out. Then gave us ours not even a sorry for the wait. We get home and my order was wrong. What a disappointment and the food was not that great. I will not recommend this place. For the money I spent the food and service should be better than what we receive. I work for a hotel and my clients ask me all the time for a great place to eat BBQ. This will not be one I recommend The sad part is I have to give one star or this will not post read more

I get takeout here fairly often but I must say I am grateful for this place in this time of stress and uncertainty. The ribs are always great...always. Eating my ribs and cole slaw and smoked corn last night made it feel almost like a normal Friday night. I'm thankful for Frasher's and hope they can weather this storm. read more

We stopped by this restaurant for lunch, let me start off by saying this place is super cute and very inviting. We got the 4 meats brisket, pulled pork, tri tip, chicken and let me just say delish, delish!!!!!!! The staff was great the wait was not long at all. We also got Mac and cheese and corn as the sides again delish and for dessert the ooey gooey delish!!! I have no bad things to say I recommend and will be back. read more

I met family and friends here last night and we had such a good time. We ordered a bunch of smoked meats and even a Smoked Brisket Pizza. Everything was amazing, and was devoured immediately, but the real star of the show was Flash Fried Spinach. Who does that? Apparently Frashers does, and it melted in your mouth and tasted awesome. Our server, I forgot her name, was such a great person, and even took us outside to take our picture. It was my Wife's Birthday, and we will never forget how much fun we had. Thank you sooo much. read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - My Wife's Birthday Dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Delicious meal tonight. My friend and I each had a cheeseburger. We each had a side and shared them - garlic mashed potatoes and baked beans. The baked beans were hearty. The garlic mashed potatoes hit the spot. read more

Tried this place for the first time this week. Needed a break from the usual Biltmore corridor fare. Someone threw out the idea of bbq and this was closest. Large place, lots of seating at booths or tables (seat yourself) clean, dark and casual. Sparsely decorated with no real theme or atmosphere and a couple of TVs playing quietly. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Meats come un-sauced and they have three or four different sauces at a central counter you help yourself to. Crowd was sparse and a mix of suits and uniforms service was friendly and competent and they explained how to order since it was our first time. My lunch mate had the pulled pork sandwich which is simply meat in a bun and a side of green chili Mac and cheese. I had a two meat combo with brisket and tri-tip and the Mac on the side and ordered a slice of the gooey butter cake for us to share. Combo comes with Texas toast. Pulled pork was excellent, smoky and well cooked. The brisket and tri-tip were ok, not horrible, not memorable and all my food, including the toast, was room temperature and dry. Mac and cheese are individual (not suitable for sharing as an FYI) a la carte portions and was tasty and heated through. Drinks are also self service and the ice tea was fresh and it appears they have beer, wine and cocktails. My lunchmate noted that the choices are "white" and "red" and are $9 a glass, cocktails are $7 and beers are $5, going on memory. Combined this very simple meal was about $35.00+ and frankly for that much was not comparable to what you'd get for the same money at many other places in the area, for instance at OSHO a short distance away that serves really great hit and juicy pulled pork, brisket and pastrami sandwiches with good sides in a slightly nicer environment, or for that matter Hillstones at the Biltmore, where we could have eaten for a comparable cost. read more

Excellent BBQ! Convenient! Drove past it for 20 years and never been there! Lock-down made me do it! Strange how most places I've never been to and that more than a few of them are well worth the visit and time. Frasher's is definitely one of those. Yesterday, driving west on Indian school near sunset, was enjoying a typical glorious arizona sunset, and smelled the wonderful smell of bbq as I passed by. Realized that I'd never been there, always assumed it to be some red vinyl lounge, since there was one on Scottsdale Rd as well. On a whim, typed it into Yelp, came up with some recent five star reviews. Knowing what was available at home, considered a bit in stopping there then, but it was too near my bedtime but I made a note to try it soon. Soon was today: after doing work on the house for a few hours, it was lunchtime and I hadn't eaten since 6 am. Called Frasher's, ordered the three meat platter, tri-tip, sliced brisket, and pulled pork, sides of Cole slaw and green chile Mac and cheese. Order was ready when I arrived, and off I went back to the apartment to sup. The plate came with three different bbq sauces, spicy, tangy, and sweet. All were yummy. The brisket was wonderful, lean enough, no gristle, and thick cut. The tri-tip was tender and moist. The pork was shredded, and had plenty of flavor all by its lonesome. Slaw was fine, and the only thing I didn't like was that the Mac and cheese was missing a bit of the usual crunchy top that I prefer. However, the green chile gave it a nice zest that almost made up for that. Shared a little brisket with both cats, they gave it a paws' up! The situation isn't perfect, but I'm getting to know some great local local spots for great grub! read more

I'm from the south and came across this gem while researching local BBQ spots. Cool vibe but the food was not good. Meat was bland and sides were just okay. Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for good BBQ. Just stick with the many Mexican options the city is known for. read more

Our new favorite BBQ joint. Matt was awesome. Service was quick and food was hot and deliscous. I had the brisket platter with cornbread. My gf had the pulled pork and garlic mashed potato's . Service was quick and sauces were great. We were checked on three times and then got a piece of the gooey butter cake whjch was to die for. The Arcadia craft fair on Saturdays was cool too. We will be back. Better bbq than Rudys . read more

Not what it appears from the outside! Super delish bbq...craft cocktails (who knew), beer and wine. The corn bread was out of control. Service was super friendly and the music and vibe really has the makings for a good hang out! We will be back! read more

I had mixed feelings coming here after reading some reviews and all the bad reviews are lies. This place was amazing. Great price, great food, and even better service. The staff was extremely attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again! read more

I supported local for dinner tonight - delivery from Frasher's Smokehouse - 32nd and Indian School in Phoenix. It was great! first time we have ordered from them and won't be the last! GREAT BBQ, sides and the dessert. I also put in the notes to get extra sauce -- and they gave me like 12 things of all their sauces! We got the Baby Back ribs meal and the 4 item sampler. The ribs were perfect! Every else was great as well. I have ordered from many BBQ places in Phoenix, and these guys are in top. Everything was packaged well. I used Grubhub for delivery. read more

This place has the best bbq I have had in a long time! The people who work here are the friendliest and my god the butter cake is awesome! With 10$ cocktails and 5$ beers you can't beat the prices or the atmosphere. It's a small little bbq place with the best food. 10/10 will go here all the time read more

This place has the best competition style ribs that I've ever eaten in a restaurant. Fantastic. I would give them 10 stars, if could. Service is great and this place is always clean. read more

Unfortunately , I just got our food delivered and I honestly am not sure what I just ate. Presentation was horrible and looked like we were given the scraps from someone elses plate. I wanted this food to be good, but honestly my fiance could only stomach her mac n cheese and cornbread. I was only able to stomach the fries. read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - This was ghe brisket we recieved. Praying I don't get food poisoning becauseeee this is not ok. - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We just moved to Phoenix from Utah and noticed this BBQ when driving by. We decided to stop in and were so happy we did! We were there at an odd hour - around 3:30, so there was just us and some people who popped in around 4. We talked with the manager (maybe owner??) who was very helpful and guided us through the menu options. I decided on the rips, corn and coleslaw and my husband got the pulled pork, broccoli and jalapeno mac and cheese. OMG! The food was AMAZING!! I got the 6 rib plate which was way to much for me, so thankfully we had leftovers. You can tell the care that they put into smoking and preparing the meat. It was so delicious, falling off the rips and the cuts were rather lean for ribs. There was a lot of meat on there! The BBQ sauces they had are house-made and spectacular. I love that they are home-made and don't have MSG or high-fructose corn syrup. The variety of flavors was great too. One thing I highly recommend getting is the corn. I don't know exactly how they make it, but it was delicious. The cole-slaw isn't loaded with mayonnaise so we all enjoyed it. This is definitely our new favorite BBQ place. The service and food were both worthy of 5 stars! read more

Best Ribs I've ever had! We had Tri-tip, turkey and brisket as well. Everything was awesome, including the sides. Pete and the staff were super nice and funny. Couldn't recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning! read more

Stopped by for dinner and shared baby back ribs and brisket sandwich with my mom and sister. The baby back ribs were tender and meaty. We ordered fries and the beans for the side dishes on that. The fries were good, just as fries normally are. They came out piping hot so I'm pretty sure they made them fresh to order which is nice. The beans were stacked with flavour and I ate them with bites of some cornbread (which I got as my other side to the brisket sandwich entree). I cannot speak for how the brisket was on its own, but I tried all the BBQ sauces and the Tangy one was BY FAR my favorite. Absolute deliciousness!! The sweet tea was perfectly sweetened, I love sweet tea but not when it's grossly over sweetened so I was happily surprised at not only the flavor but the sweet levels on this. What really surprised me about this place was how friendly, welcoming, and nice the staff were--Not only to us paying customers but to each other. The atmosphere was relaxed and the bathrooms were even well decorated + kept clean. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a chill spot to take their friends or family, with great flavor, pricing, relaxed atmosphere, and those looking to be treated well by their local establishment. read more

Extremely disappointed with the portions. They now serve their meals on white paper plates because they can't fill the slots on the previous plastic plates. Portions were very small and the turkey and chicken were very dry. Not worth $17. In addition, the service was not the best. For sure we're not returning! read more

The bomb BBQ, I have had the brisket chicken turkey and pork Service is always friendly on the phone, The green chili mac & cheese is delicious and so is their butter cake Get burnt ends!!! Best brisket ever!!!! They serve texas toast along with your meal and many different barbecue sauces It is delicious I think you should try it!! read more

Honestly, hands down one of the best bbq places in Arizona. True KCMO BBQ style. The hospitality was incredible. Pete was an amazing host, welcoming me in like it was his house. I don't leave reviews, whether if a place it is good or bad. 10/10 would recommend! P.s. I literally created a account just to write this. read more

The most divine food and service I have had in a long long time. I live in California and am here visiting my daughter. Have traveled extensively and have not experienced food and service like this in quite some time. Well worth the price!!! Great Bew Years Eve dinner!! read more

The ribs were our favorite by far. We stopped and brought home an order of 4 meats and sides. The burnt ends were good too. What I wanted to comment on was the service. The young man at the register told us about all of our options and also helped us decide what to order. It's not that often these days that you can get such good service from the front person, but this time was spectacular. Others were enjoying pizza on the patio and I think I'd try that next time too. We will be back. read more

Stopped here for lunch because of the reviews..... $47 later, for 2 people and we left what you see in the picture. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST BBQ I'VE EVER HAD! Brisket....was that even brisket!?!! Tasted and had the texture of boiled meat. Burnt Ends: tasteless and mushy Baby Back Ribs: tasteless, greasy and mushy Turkey gumbo: full of salt BBQ beans.....dry, tasted like the bottom of a pan Green chili mac and cheese: a scoop of mush! Corn....half decent but full of butter 3 BBQ Sauces: all incredibly sweet EVERYTHING left a greasy film in my mouth! We should have never went in when there was only 1 other car in the parking lot. To top this all off, as we left all of our inedible plates on the table, the waitress said absolutely nothing about all of the "food" we left, she actually hurried to clear the table. Do not recommend at all. read more

Love, love, love this BBQ restaurant. The staff is friendly and the pulled pork is to die for. Try all three sauce blends, they all rock.

Overall, great experience. Service is chipper and welcoming, while the food itself was wonderful. I wouldn't say the place was perfect though. It had a strange layout for the restaurant itself and the steam broccoli didn't seem to be fully cooked, but the meat was fantastic. I'll definitely be returning and look forward to hopefully bumping this up to a 5 star. read more

You know that feeling when you went on a hike earlier in the day and now you're in the mood for some barbeque and a beer and you're on vacation in Phoenix? I know that feeling. This place was the best place I've found that satisfies that feeling. read more

This has become my favorite bbq spot in Phoenix so far! We walked in and the owner greeted us with his beautiful blue eyes! I'm a real skeptic when it comes BBQ because I'm from Cleveland and Cleveland has GREAT BBQ! We got flash fried spinach, beans, garlic mash and corn! All of the sides are super flavorful! We also tried both the brisket and turkey. You know a good piece of BBQ if you don't need bbq sauce! And this is it! Love love love Thank you George (owner)!!! read more

Fast, friendly, consitent. The ribs are amazing as is the gooey butter cake. We eat here at least twice a month when we're too lazy to cook and we'd never be able to cook like this. This is our go to, to go spot. Keep up the great work George! read more

Great place to eat BBQ! Love the baked beans. Owner seems like a great guy. Support local too! Win win!

If I could give zero stars I would. They forgot half of our order. Manager tried to make it right but then we left still missing several items. Get a receipt when ordering and triple check. Very unprofessional read more

Great food and atmosphere. Butter bread was awesome for dessert. place was clean and staff was friendly. Had the brisket and it was perfect. read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - Atmosphere is great and food was awesome. - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Just moved close by and I liked this place a lot. Pulled pork was my favorite, and turkey was delicious. It was moist, with lots of flavor. I thought the mashed potatoes were tasty and the baked beans were pretty good. The only thing was the ribs were a bit dry, It could have just been a bad batch. I'm excited to go back and try the green chili mac n cheese. The service was great, the whole menu was explained to us very quickly and we were given great recommendations. They also have one of my favorite beers, Fat Tire. Give it a try if you're nearby. read more

As a native of St. Louis I can personally vouch for the St. Louis style pizza (Imo's?) and the butter gooey cake. The staff is super friendly and bartender Matt's got jokes! I would love to visit sometime if they ever have live music. The atmosphere is laid back casual nice. read more

If you enjoy true high quality barbecue, fresh from the smoker or grill, this is your place! The service is first rate, the food incredible and the sauces are to die for. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a platter today! Don't miss the green chili mac &a cheese and the gooey butter cake! Pulled pork lovers rejoice, they got ya covered too! read more
