They have a good menu, and the service is pleasant, but there are some issues: First of all, the tables are "sticky". Two different people explained that "it's just the finish". When I said that it makes the place seem less than clean, they both repeated that it's just the finish. Paper towels STICK to the table tops. That's just gross. The chicken was dry ad tough, and the green chili mac and cheese was so overcooked that it had more of a texture of mashed potatoes. When I commented on this, the same employees said that a "new batch" was just removed from the oven. End of conversation. I won't go back. read more

Great set up, walk in and order, pick out a table and the hot food arrives in minutes. The meat couldn't have been any more tender and the dessert cake was warm and sweet. read more

Really tasty. Customer service was amazing. I had the tri tip. It was very flavorful. I love how you pick your own sauce. I had the sweet. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area read more

Stopped in at Frasher's by accident. This place should be the busiest place in town! As near genuine Kansas City Barbecue as you can get. Great baked beans, pulled pork, sauce, combined with excellent and quick service. The owner cruises around checking both on service and whether your order is up to your expectations. Will go back again and again. Larry read more

I was on this side of town and had a friend recommend this place to me. The service and food was great. I will definitely stop in again when I'm on this side of town again. read more

Frasher's is a BBQ Smokehouse that is hands down a FANTASTIC place to go for a meal, either with or with out children. The staff is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable of their menu and (who I assumed to be) the owner's son had the most charismatic smile that oozed charm. The bar tender was very upbeat and friendly. The patio seating is comfortable and the interior casual with booths and tables to choose from. Now, let's get serious for a minute. The pulled pork was wonderful; and as a Southern woman, I take my BBQ seriously; it was prepared and seasoned PERFECTLY. The butter cake, y'all. It is life changing. Eat. Frasher's. Go there, right now. read more

Love this place! Amazing St. Louis BBQ. Gooey Butter Cake is the best too. Big portions too! Highly recommend this place.

Great experience. I went the with my parents on Fathers Day and we all thought it was good. I've driven past it many time, but never had a chance to stop in. Pros - The pulled pork sandwich has good flavor and does not come with sauce, so you can add one of their sauces to your liking. - Great customer service. The staff was friendly and was aware of their surroundings. When I filled up my drink, the dispenser started to sputter because the soda was almost out. They heard it going out and promptly changed the boxes out. At the end of our meal, they gave us their gooey butter cake because it was Fathers Day. I was not a fan of the cake, because I thought it was too sweet, but it was nice that they gave it to us. Cons - The coleslaw was ok, but I've had better. It was kind of bland. My mom didn't like it. - The spicy bbq sauce was mild at best. They should have spicier version available. I liked the sweet molasses sauce the best. Overall, I will go back again. My parents live in east Mesa and they will likely visit it again. read more

George Frasher started something so good that I couldn't think about eating anywhere else in the area. George himself, a St. Louis native like myself, understands the concept of great BBQ and delivers 100%. This food is just as great as the staff that presents and makes the food. This is the only place in the valley that reminds me of authentic Midwest BBQ, not to mention the perfect touch of Gooey Butter Cake and Imos Pizza to top it off. I highly recommend this delicious restaurant. read more

Best BBQ in town! Got the 3 meat combo (pulled pork, tri tip, burnt ends) and it was outstanding, beans and potatoes on the side. Definitely recommend checking out Frasher's to all meat lovers, you will not be disappointed. Great service from owner and staff, and amazing atmosphere/design inside. read more

We celebrated a family occasion at Frashers last night and the experience could not of been better! The people- from servers to cooks to bartender- were all wonderfully nice and the food was delicious. Thank you for Frashers for a wonderful family experience! read more

Owner and servers were awesome, and food is great! Great hospitality from the owner who catered to our big group. Definitely recommend!

No question this is what BBQ is all about , first time here , the smell alone when we walked in the door we knew we were in for a treat , I tried the chicken platter and wife had the ribs , both were delicious but we both leaned towards the fall of the bone ribs , we tried 4 different sides , fries , jalapeno Mac n cheese , corn and beans , hands down the beans were awesome , Mac n cheese also very good , can't wait to go back seeing as Im doing some work near by , forgot even there lemonade was very good , not to mention the staff was very friendly , see you soon read more

The service at Frasher's was amazing. We just moved to the area and drive by this place everyday. We finally stopped in to try it out and weren't disappointed. Great food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend the mashed potatoes and corn bread. We will certainly be back soon!! read more

I saw the 4.5 star rating. I called in advance to see if the restaurant was open for takeout because it is close to where I live. The employee answered professionally and cheerfully. I placed my order for brisket by phone. My order was not yet prepared when I arrived, but I only had to about 5 minutes receive my order and pay. My one star rating is due to the quality of the brisket I ordered. Sadly, the brisket was dry and not that tasty. It almost seemed like "yesterday's" meat that had been reheated. I know that top smoke houses prepare fresh brisket daily. Maybe the restaurant was having a bad day or suffering the effects of Covid-19. I tried all three bar-b-que sauces offered: Sweet, tangy, and spicy. I was disappointed with each one. Like I say, maybe Frasher's was having a bad day, but that was my experience. I will not be returning. There are several GREAT smokehouses in Phoenix that serve fantastic brisket. read more

Best brisket sandwich we ever had. Service was 10 stars, can highly recommend this place. Don't forget to try the gooey butter cake, absolutely delicious. Will be back for sure. read more

food was excellent and service was good. recommended BBQ if you are in the Phoenix areas

Ordered food for 15 guest holiday party. Customer service was excellent on the phone - they made sure I ordered enough food and helped me choose a good variety. The food was ready on time and delicious, especially the pulled pork. Will definitely get food here again! Thank you Frasher's! read more

Great BBQ! Newly opened restaurant that seems to have a lot of potential, I had the pulled pork and corn as my side. Loved both items! The owner was great, I will be back soon! read more

Good place for good BBQ!! Their cornbread is very good and the baby back ribs are very tasty!

Absolutely love George! The food is out of this world and it has a very friendly & inviting vibe. Pulled Pork is delicious along with various other things on the menu. The one thing they are still famous for is the "gooey cake!" It is a MUST have/try the first time you go! So make sure you save room for dessert! read more

What an awesome place! This is the old Chuys location....When you enter, you are greated with awesome aromas and friendly staff...the decor is warm and inviting....the menu is simple, a less is more approach....my daughter and I do not usually eat BBQ, but came here with our family to help my Dad celebrate his 78th birthday and he loves BBQ! We ordered a tri tip sandwich, fries, a house salad, and their green chile mac n cheese....the portions were decent sized and the flavor of all was delicious...we even brought home leftovers :)... there were 16 people in our group and everyone enjoyed their meal tremendously!! Come and give them a try....George the owner is a very friendly guy and is doing a terrific job! Thanks George for a wonderful experience! read more

Good BBQ is a layback space and generous drinks. The brisket is as tender as butter and baby back ribs have a great smoke. Your choice of sauce and don't forget to try the gooey butter cake! It is amazing - like pecan pie without the pecans and the pie is cake!! It's a great trial of your sugar levels read more

The pulled pork is amazing. I really enjoyed the selection of sauces. The green chili mac and cheese and the coleslaw were amazing additions to the meal. The place was great! read more

I originally gave them 2 Stars. Giving 4 Stars now for their ribs 3 stars overall. Ribs are smoky and have a great bark. My brisket was dry and not much bark and wasn't good. I will be back for the ribs for sure. read more

It's about time I found a rib joint that can live up to St. Louis ribs. Go figure the owner is from the Lou! No fancy words needed. Get a slab of ribs with the ridiculous beans and you won't be let down. If you have a sweet tooth you have to try the gooey butter cake. A St. Louis tradition created by a culinary mistake. read more

I showed up before reading the Yelp reviews, around 6 p.m. last Friday night. All BBQ sold out. I guess this is common from some of the previous posts but I just can't get to a restaurant any earlier because of work. They did have wings left so I ordered them but at $9.00 for one pound I felt they were a bit overpriced and reminded me of the ones I buy at Costco in the bag, 5 pounds for around $15.00. I ordered two sides and as mentioned by other reviewers, they were $6 each and VERY small. They say 1 cup, but seemed smaller to me and the coleslaw was not really even ONE ample portion, for $6.00 I expect more. Staff was disorganized but friendly and I really love the decor, they did a great job. I hope they work out the kinks, I am all for supporting the local family business. If they re-evaluate their side portion prices and get it together regarding the running out of their main food it could be good. I will come back in a few months and try again. I am a bit confused though, I thought this store was basically just moving from a Scottsdale location where they had been successful so wondering why all the glitches. I hope they work it out. read more

Great BBQ. The ribs were excellent. Baked beans were very good also. I will get a full rack next time I am in town

I was extremely excited and hopeful to try this BBQ. My aunt suggested I would love it. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark of my favorite BBQ in Phoenix. The sauces are good... they get 5 stars. Yet the briskett was refrigerator cold on the inside, microwave tepid on the outside, tough and absent of soul and lacked flavor. The cheeseburger, tho nice in size for a kids menu, came with no fixings and lacked anything characteristic of a good bbq place. Service wise, our "waitress" was great and exchanged our cold briskett for the cheeseburger yet the female bartender made sure we heard, "the briskett is cold because of the bbq sauce you put on it.." The bbq was room temp... her theory left a cold taste in my mouth as did.her treatment of a homeless man who came in and asked for a glass of water which she dropped the cup into his hand to make sure she didnt.touch him and didn't even apologize. Rude. Not the dinner experience I was expecting after a great recommendation. read more

Loved the steakhouse and love this spot. Other people on here just hating. Damn yelpers... don't give a good spot bad reviews for minimal stuff like being out of takeaway menus. It's a new restaurant and concept, going to take a little to get every little detail figured out. If you want good barbeque, GO HERE! I don't know of a similar spot in the area that's better.... please enlighten me if there is read more

Outstanding Atmosphere and BBQ! The staff is extremely friendly and the owner (George) is always on premise. That alone shows his dedication to creating a new great restaurant for the Arizona locals. Do not pass up this place. If you dont know what to order ask the staff they will steer you in the right direction. read more

If you are a meat purist, this is your place. There is little to no seasoning on the meat other than the smoke flavor. All was tender (brisket, pulled pork and tri-tip). Beans were spicy and fries were crisp. Four different types of sauces provide choices and all were good; not too sweet and not too spicy. Not the best BBQ I have had but decent and not dry. Nice vibe. read more

Second time I have been here and I probably wont make a 3rd visit unfortunately. I am a mac and cheese lover and theirs just doesn't cut it. For one it tasted like cheeseless velveta. It was super runny and had no cheddar or real cheese taste. One would think they would use a beschamel and a trio of cheeses and maybe bake it with a crumbly topping.. nope. Just plain and bland. The I got the burnt ends today which was prepared like greasy carnitas is. The pork was fatty and greasy and I've had a stomach ache all day. Would love to offer some recipe tips cause the decor is great, friendly attentive staff, and the owner is always there walking around. We have tried the pulled pork and brisket in the past and that was sub par as well. Such a shame too. read more

I had driven by this restaurant a couple different times and it reminded me of Frasher Steakhouse on Scottsdale Road. Well lo and behold guess what... It was the same George Frasher. I was greatly saddened when they're Steakhouse had closed on Scottsdale Road. So last Saturday we tried the place for lunch. My wife had the brisket and I had the burnt tips. It was pretty good the garlic mashed potatoes are still the bomb. Tonight we went back my wife had a combination platter of brisket and tri-tip and I had a 10 ounce ribeye. Awesome food. I really enjoyed the steak. It was a lot of food we had so I couldn't enjoy the gooey cake but let me tell you that's to die for. Thank you George for another great meal. read more

This is an amazing place! I pulled up and although it looked deserted , I decided to park my car and try my luck, boy am I glad I did. I was approached by a incredibly nice girl upfront, very welcoming! I asked about the baby back ribs and she said with confidence those are what everybody likes ( don't quote me word for word) well she wasn't kidding! She was so cute although they take the order at the front when you come in and then bring the food when cooked, I still gave her a $6.00 tip . When she gave me change from my 20.00 bill ( Oh yes did I tell you my meal was only 13.00 and change!!!) I said keep the change and she was so honest as to say wait this is 6.00 (when someone can put a mile on your face like she did with impeccable customer service, she deserves a big tip!!!Ok now to the ribs!!!The rib meat fell off the bone and into my mouth! The coleslaw which they make with a vinegar dressing instead of mayo was fabulous!! I can't say enough about this place!! Kudos to the owner who obliviously mentors his employees with his heart oh yes and don't leave without trying desert!!! Oh my goodness please excuse my punctuation as I was not able to gather my bearings an incredible establishment that just fell into my lap!!!!!! read more

Been there four times now. Really liked the burnt ends, brisket and tri-tip, good smokey flavor and really juicy brisket that's not dry and crumbling like some other places. I thought the turkey was underwhelming, but then again, I shouldn't be getting turkey when there's other better meat to be had. Spicy sauce is really good. The space has a nice build out and is welcoming, though I agree with another reviewer that the food delivery system (wandering around the place calling out names for each item) is inefficient. What got me was the prices versus portion sizes, as well as the sides. They don't really offer a complete meal with meat and a side or two, but rather everything is a la carte. So if you want a half pound of meat, a side, and a drink, you're looking at well over $20. While the food's good I just can't see that lasting in this neighborhood...might want to consider a price adjustment or a meal deal where someone can sample a couple meats and a side. read more

Clean. Very friendly, considerate, and attentive staff and manager. Great flavors and big portions. This is definitely my new rib spot.

Disregard the negative reviews here. You go to this place to get barbecue and that's what these guys know and do best. My wife and I got the baby back ribs and burnt ends (translation: the good parts of the brisket) which were amazing on their own. Then add one of their three bbq sauces (we loved the spicy sauce, there's also Tennessee Tangy and a Sweet BBQ sauce) and it makes these meats mouth-watering. I would go back just for the Baked Beans which are some of the tastiest beans I have had. The corn side is grilled on the cob then sliced off -- delicious as well. The owner, George (previously of Fraser's Steakhouse), came out to check on all the guests which was a nice touch. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the Tri-tip and Turkey! Thanks, guys, for satisfying our craving for BBQ! read more

I lived part of my life in Oakland, and so I know good barbecue. Hey, Everett & jones! When I first walked into Frashers, I was a bit cautious: everyone (from the staff to the clientele) is white! Just like you can gauge the authenticity of a Chinese restaurant by how many Chinese people dine there, I feel more reassured with bbq when I see African Americans doing the cooking and eating. But the bbq here is Legit. I ordered both the burnt ends sandwich and the baby back ribs, and the staff assured me it would be enough for a good meal. The burnt ends I wasn't crazy about: more of a novelty item, an acquired taste. A bit tuff and chewy. But the back back ribs. OH. my. God. The baby back ribs is Hella good. The bbq sauces, which u serve urself, is On Point. What I noticed as a good touch is that Frashers toast their bread on the griddle. Everett & jones just serve wonderbread in a sandwich bag. It's a very nice touch, a solid finish on the execution. And toss in how friendly and nice the staff is, and the very reasonable prices, and Frasher is A WINNER. read more

This is a down home BBQ place with outstanding meats, great side dishes and a buttercake to die for!
