This place is delicious I probably have had everything. I would def recommend this place for din in or take out.

This delicious spot to stop at if you want a real (but quick) meal. They're still offering dine in, at every other table. Their food is the bomb. It is a little pricey compared to your fast food restaurants, but this is because it's REAL slow cooked food. The single meat portions are a little small, but when you've finished, you are full and satisfied! My husband had the beef brisket, which was so incredible tender, and I had the pulled pork, which is always a solid option, and was also scrumptious!! The Mac n cheese tastes like it's all real, and the pasta is not that mushy stuff you get at some restaurants. Their potato salad is kind of plain for me, but they're baked beans were on point! The tiny corn muffins have a little jalapeño in them, but it adds great flavor it , not a lot of heat. (Maybe those who normally eat a BIG plate of food... or two burgers.... or you're just plain starving! I recommend getting a double serving of the meat, but really, one portion is enough!) Definitely give this spot a try if you love home cooked BBQ read more

Best BBQ hands down Today was my first visit to Naked BBQ but it won't be my last. Naked BBQ has the best BBQ hands down. The sandwich meat choices include pulled pork, beef brisket, pulled chicken, tri-tip, sliced turkey, and hot links. In addtion, to thier delicious meat selection Naked BBQ has a variety of side dishes and desserts. Everything from coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni & cheese, baked beans, roasted vegetables, cornbread, peach cobbler, and bacon Maple donuts. What I enjoyed most about Naked BBQ is they serve thier entrée's NAKED (without sauce). So you can dress your entree just the way you like it. I went for the sweet sauce and it was absolutely delicious. The staff at Naked BBQ is second to none. Service is fast and friendly. Food I'd delicious and reasonably priced. It doesn't get any better. If you enjoy good BBQ, stop by you won't be disappointed. read more

First time here and won't be the last. Husband and I split a two meat (ribs and brisket) platter. Comes with 2 sides and a corn bread muffin. We chose creamy cole slaw and Mac and cheese. The brisket was moist and had good fat ratio. Ribs were very tasty and no fat. We tried the sweet and spicy sauces, which were not over powering, and complimented the meat. The muffin was also tasty. The sides were marginal at best. Very little flavor. Next time we will try the potato salad and beans. I really enjoyed the watermelon ice tea. Best BBQ we have had since arriving in Arizona. Hopefully they will work on the sides read more

Went here for a quick lunch. The food was excellent and inexpensive. Service was great for counter service. Ambiance was cute rustic.

I never knew this place existed. It's right next to LaMar's Donuts. This is definitely one of the best BBQ places around town! We arrived around 11:45 am on a Wednesday, and there was no line - lucky that we beat the lunch time rush and found seats right away. Shortly after we were seated, people started rolling in big groups. I had the two meat platter with brisket & pulled pork and mac & cheese + vegetable of the day (green beans) as my sides. There are extra sweet/spicy sauce and the house dry rub (located on the counter) that you can dip/sprinkle to your own liking. The sauce would have been crazy good if it was slightly thicker though, but the taste is still there. Oh boy, that brisket was bomb - super flavorful & juicy along with a nice bark. I requested the brisket to be chopped, but you can also have it sliced. The pulled pork was on the fatty side, but worth the calories. I tried a little bit of my boyfriend's hot links, and they're delicious; I'm getting some hot links next time. I would highly recommend the brisket if you only have one choice of meat. The sides were decent, nothing mind blowing, yet satisfying and compliments the meat well. I love how they weigh the meat we ordered to make sure the right amount is given every time. I"ll definitely be returning for those mouth-watering proteins. read more

Yelp places around me while being here for work. I got the pulled pork with their side of potatoes. Service wasn't bad but nothing special either, as for the food goes I'm giving this place 3 starts just because it was an average pulled pork sandwich. Small portions are not my cup of tea specially for a BBQ place. read more

Naked Q BBQ - Pulled pork with onions - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I called thinking I could pick an order before I got home. Cause I was so hungry. Heard great things and I love bbq. Never been there before when I called I let them know I love brisket and chicken. He said so that's what you want? I'm like sure! He started talking about how much... I asked if there was a lunch special maybe some potatoes. He said we don't have mashed potatoes but do have potato salad. I said that would work. He then says I'm sorry I really don't know what you want. I said I've never been there before so I'm not sure what there is. He said well there's a menu online. I said okay I'll check it out and call back just wanted to order on the road before I got there. He did take my order making it a sandwich which I don't like bread so he removed the bun. The problem was when I got there. The first thing I see on the board menu was 1meat. 2meat and 2sides $15. I'm like... it's right there! Why didn't he just offer that??? I said I first had expressed the two meats just wondering why you went to a sandwich when it's right on the menu board. He says so you don't want the sandwich?? I'm confused because why didn't he just give me a second meat the brisket And another side and make it $15 instead of $9. It was like he didn't know what he had to offer. I know he can't read my mind but when someone says I like these two meats and if you have potatoes that would be awesome.. why didn't he offer that??? The meat was cold and I ate it right when I got in my car. I was starving. It was not 50 degrees out. It's actually 70. The one guy seemed friendly the guy that rang me up seemed put out. And unaware of what they have to offer. Thursday 1pm February 11th Thank you Vanessa read more

BBQ on the northwest side is not common. If you are coming out to this area though I would recommend going to BobbyQ instead for a better overall dining experience. First let me say the meat here is decent. The sides my husband and I had were not that good. We arrived at about 1:30pm. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs and a banana pudding. My husband ordered the one meat plate. He got the pulled pork with slaw and mac & cheese. We sat at a small table. There is about seating for 30 total in the dining area. The ribs I got the meat was lightly smoked. I would have liked a more smoked taste but the meat was nice. I tried the sweet, spicy, mustard, and vinegar sauces. The sweet is a traditional Memphis-style sweet sauce. The spicy sauce tasted just like the sweet so I think the wrong sauce was in the container. The vinegar sauce was good. The mustard sauce was not that great. It tasted too strongly of yellow mustard. I had better yellow mustard BBQ sauces when I lived in North Carolina. My banana pudding was okay. There were no banana in the pudding. It tasted as though it was made from a store bought mix. It was also quite thin. The restaurant looks like they have no spins so it was hard to eat. My husband got the one meat plate. He wanted a corn muffin. He was told they did not have any warn muffins. That they were quite child and he didn't seem interested in trying to heat any of them even though we indicated we were willing to wait. So he got the mac & cheese and creamy slaw. My husband said the pulled pork had no flavor (no smoked or seasoning). He said it was just like eating shreded meat. The mac & cheese was over cooked and bland. The creamy slaw was not creamy. It used very little mayonnaise. Again, there was very little flavor. My husband also got the peach cobbler. It was a bit tart. It could have used more sugar. As I was sitting and finishing my three star review we got to talk to the owner. He was quite nice. We offered some suggestions and he brought over some of the sides. They were MUCH better than we initially received. We will come back and give this place another shot. read more

First visit to this place and I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and potato salad as the side. The food was excellent, but the staff was even better. Every employee was extremely kind and made sure we had everything we needed and that we enjoyed our food. That's hard to find these days. I'll make to support this business with my money in the future. read more

Went to the grand opening today. I had the brisket and the pulled pork. It was absolutely moist and very tasty on its own. The home made BBQ sauce was excellent. The corn muffins and bacon maple donuts were delicious as well. I would totally recommend this place over any of the other bbq joints around the area. Although I live far from the restaurant I will be coming often. read more

I love that 99% of the menu is gluten free!! Including their buns! Makes it super easy to eat there without being crazy and customizing the menu to myself. I got the pulled chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun and smothered it in half sweet half spicy bbq sauce and it was so good!!! Definitely try the beans, too. They're great! I do wish they had some more GF dessert, and the restaurant was a smidge cold so bring a jacket! but other than the the menu, service and food is great! read more

I see why the ratings are so good!! OK!!! The gentleman opened the pulled pork and with one flick of the wrist, separated the meat from the bone!!!!!! I was SOLLLLDDDDD!!! That damn pulled pork was superb!! That damn brisket was tender, juicy, heavenly, and mesmerizing!! Look, I took one bite of that little corn muffin and fell out my damn bed!! Even the Cole Slaw was perfect! They lost me on the Mac and cheese! The Mac and cheese was not good!! Still 5 stars cause of the damn meat and muffin! I'll try other sides next time! OR MAYBE I'LL JUST EAT THE MEAT and Muffins!! Just give me M&M please ... lol The SWEET sauce was SWEEEEEETTT! $15 for a two meat plate with two sides and a muffin. I added two ribs for $4 (I haven't tasted them yet)! read more

Loved it! One in Scottsdale off Shea as well. Only thing I was missing after living in Tx... was the baked potato! read more

It's not bad. However, I like BBQ a lot, so I have gone to a few places. This is really the only place like it in it's area so for that is it ok. I was really looking forward to the mac and cheese after reading a review and was really disappointed. The sausage was not bad but I did expect a little more seasoning in it or a smoker taste. I am not a sauce person, because I like the Smokey hickory taste, not the sweet, and they have very sweet sauces and rubs. The Brisket was very fatty to the point even the person that had lunch with me didn't like it, even though they like a good marbling. I personally hate fatty meat, so I didn't even try it. The guy cutting did do a leaner/trimmed pieces of meat for a regular that was ahead of us but did not even speak to us when he was doing our cut. The pulled pork was dry and like the sausage could used more flavoring. I am not sure, but I think they use an electric smoker which could be why the meat didn't have that think smoked flavor I am use to with good BBQ. Overall if you are crazing BBQ at lunch and want a place that doesn't really have a wait, try this place out. However, I don't think I will be back. read more

Naked Q BBQ - Hot links, pulled pork, and brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Food is amazing, price is reasonable, decor is utilitarian chic, service is wonderful. Wish it could be open more hours, but I completely understand: it's better to have quality than quantity. Ordered the two meat platter with ribs and brisket, regular creamy coleslaw, green beans (vegie of the day) and a little corn muffin. Love that everything is nicely arranged on a tray. Portion size was perfect. One tray satisfactorily fed two people who weren't that hungry, but needed lunch. If you are hungry, get your own platter. You won't regret it. The meat was a masterpiece of the grill. The ribs were tender, thick, and infused with a smoky flavor. I topped it with the spicy BBQ sauce for an even greater flavor punch, but I honestly think you could eat it 'naked.' The brisket was marbled, tender and again very smoky. The sides were okay. The mini corn muffin was delicious, but so tiny. The staff at the counter let me try the Carolina coleslaw when I was trying to decide which one to get. I didn't really like the vinegary tang, so I got the creamy coleslaw, which was ok. I loved the decor- walls covered in distressed wood, paper towels conveniently on each table, the writing on the walls. It was a great setting for a casual lunch. The owner came by and checked on us, which was great. Deducted one star because I really wish it was open more hours and on Sunday. Call ahead if going late in the day to make sure they are still open. read more

Naked Q BBQ - Two meat platter of ribs, brisket, green beans, coleslaw, corn muffin and pickles. Perfect portion sizes. - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We grabbed a late lunch here today. It must have been late because my spouse was more hangry than usual. :-) Our gps mislead us by a few blocks, but we figured it our and found Naked BBQ in a very nice strip shopping center (right behind LaMar's Donuts). The inside seating was adequate. The workers were great. And the barbecue was excellent. My wife had the brisket and I had the pulled pork. I wasn't a huge fan of the sides...but that's probably just me. I've been to places with more atmosphere, but this isn't a bad place to find good barbecue. read more

My brother in law & I drove up at 4:10 pm only to see Orin the owner locking up! Seems they close early on Mondays. WHAT? I told him we had driven 14 miles from Surprise cause Yelp had featured this place a few days ago as one of the best pork joints in Phoenix. He reopened & let us in serving tender ribs & brisket TOTALLY naked! Now we understood the name cause the meat served without sauce so the real smoke flavor is scrumptious. Thankfully I didn't have to watch my old, bald brother in law eating while sitting naked. LOL We paid $40 for a full rack of ribs, pound of brisket, beans, cold slaw & soft drinks. Was plenty so now I'm home finishing off the leftovers. The BIL paid the bill so was a sweet day for me! So, check the place out- just don't show up on a Monday after 4 pm. Maybe you won't find Orin in a charitable mood. read more

Naked Q BBQ - I can't believe I ate the WHOLE thing! - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Love their meat and spicy sauce. They are always friendly and helpful. The jalapeño sausages are delicious.

Good pork sandwich, yes, especially for the meat's flavor. Nice, sweet cole slaw. For sauces, there's a selection of two tomato sauces, one vinegar mixture, a mustard sauce, and a rub on the side. I couldn't tell the difference between the house and spicy tomato sauces (both sweet), but other than that I had a good experience and will return. read more

Found this place by accident, late on a Saturday evening. Wanted Brisket and Turkey but both were out- not complaint- can't get those at any good bbq spot at 8 pm. Settled on pulled pork and chicken and like the flavor in both! Beans were ok- just not my typical bean flavor profile, cornbread was good. Staff was friendly and helpful, will try it again when I'm in town. read more

Oren catered our wedding a few weekends ago. We must of had 1/2 of the guests tell us it was the best darn bbq and the best wedding food they have had in their life. I'm happy Oren and his staff were AWESOME to our guests and shared our wedding day.....oh and the food....6 STARS! read more

The meat is smokey and delicious! They made my food super fast for a takeout delivery. Very friendly staff. The giant chocolate chip cookie is the best cookie you could have! Way better than the other chain BBQ place and a little cheaper too. The cornbread muffin is yummy with the jalapeño inside, not too spicy, a bit on the small side. Mac n' cheese is good, a little peppery. read more

Great food, very tender smoked meats. The sauces are delicious. They go great with the meats. I recommend this place.

Yes, please! The brisket and spicy hot links were great. Sweet tea was just right. Pulled pork was perfect. Potato salad was very good. We will be back read more

This is a really good barbeque spot if your in the area. I had the 1 meat platter which comes with 2 sides and a corn muffin. I chose mac and cheese and potato salad then for meat i got the sausage link, i enjoyed it all! The cornbread didnt really have a pinch of sweetness to it which made it kind of bland tasting but no big deal. They serve sweet or spicy sauce i feel like they taste exactly the same both were good. All in all this is a good barbeque spot! read more

Naked Q BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Excellent BBQ! I had the chopped brisket, spicy sausage, potato salad, and cole slaw. - The chopped brisket was tender, with a nice light bark. Deep smokey flavor - I'm not always a fan of smoked sausage, but I loved the spicy sausage. Just the right amount of heat and went perfectly with the vinegar sauce - The potato salad was creamy and hearty. Complemented the meats well - I'm not usually a cole slaw fan, but I really enjoyed the slaw at Naked BBQ. Just the right amount of crisp and flavor and not too creamy I also liked the sweet BBQ sauce and really enjoyed the pickles. Very friendly service. When I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be paying this place a visit. read more

Went for a late lunch and got a pulled pork sandwich, carolina slaw and Mac & cheese. Overall the food was good with the exception of the slaw being a little too strong on the spice & vinegar (and I really love vinegar). The Mac and cheese was above average and the pulled pork was better than almost all other places I have eaten at in az with the exception of Little Miss BBQ. The interior of the restaurant and presentation of the food was very nice and they had a great assortment of sauces and some pretty decent dry rub to add to the meat. To sum it up I would for sure eat here again it if they are consistent with their meat it will be a great BBQ restaurant to have in Phoenix. read more

Excellent BBQ and fantastic service!! Had the 2 meat combo turkey & pulled pork + 2 side beans & potato salad the portions are HUGE. The wife and I also got 1lb of brisket it was INCREDIBLE. Hands down the best BBQ in AZ looking forward to that West Valley location coming soon! read more

This place has yet to disappoint me and I've been going here since their grand opening day! They have the best brisket in Phoenix HANDS DOWN! And let's not even get started on the ribs! They literally fall right off the bone. I've become friends with the owner Orin and he is a true definition of a quality chef. He take pride in what he does and it reflects in his food. They also have these corn bread muffins that are to die for. If you want some good bar b question this is the first and only place I recommend. -Pepper- read more

I've been coming to this bbq joint ever since it opened and the food and staff have always been wonderful. Im super picky when it comes to true bbq brisket and this place delivers every time. read more

Top BBQ in Phoenix. Hands down. Naked BBQ = No sauce on the meat. Meat is well smoked and seasoned. Love taking people here because it is always consistent and good. Would like to kick up their sides a notch with some seasoning or something, but other than that...awesome. Try the brisket sliced or go on Tuesday for tri-tip. (Remember they are only open until they run out of meat.) read more

Little gem order to go love brisket my favorite. Close to home . Small inside but my orders always spot on

Pulled pork was good. Brisket was served in a pool of grease. The beans were undercooked and did not have good flavor. The mac & cheese was really good. I will not be back. read more

Awesome barbecue!! Friendly service. Different choices of barbecue sauces are delicious! Great selection of sides.

Visit this restaurant today for the second time ( first visit was a few months back) and I was reminded why this is one of my favorite bbq locally owned restaurants in town. Wayne (maybe is the business owner) was extremely welcoming from the time I entered the restaurant until I left. The quality of the meats is amazing and makes you wish you had more. Most of the side dishes are excellent- Mac and cheese, veggies. Cornbread and beans could improve on the recipe. If you are looking for some excellent local bbq place and meet some of the most friendly staff make sure you give this place a try. Kudos to Wayne again! read more

Some damn good brisket happening here. Got mine sliced, part of the two meat platter with two sides. Fork tender, seasoned well, and easily the best thing I ate here. Hot links had a nice snap and a spicy kick. Sides were decent, but could use some tweaking. Sauces were more complex than I expected. Normally not a mustard guy but the mustard BBQ sauce was spot on with the brisket. I'll be back read more

So glad we found this BBQ place! Looking forward to going back when we have another Doctor appointment in the area! The meat on my pulled pork sandwich was tender and not stringy. The bun was soft and easy to manage. I had the sweet BBQ sauce and it was perfect! Potato salad was different, but good. Not too many weird added ingredients. I wish we had not been to full for dessert they all sounded good! We will be back for sure! I wish they would open a place in Casa Grande!! read more

Ok since this whole frickin "Pandemic" hit the scene I haven't been able to dine in weekly for my brisket. The Brisket King no likey. The shifts at Costco have really picked up and the bowling alley has also closed so I'm left with few options. Then suddenly it hit me. Wii bowling and takeout. Combining my two loves into one magical night. I picked up a 6 pack of some Barg's Rootbeers and ordered some takeout. The brisket was still HOT after the 20 minute drive home. WOW. Now see I'm no scientist but they must have some smart guys n gals in the back making sure the brisket stays both hot and doesnt dry out. The sauce reminded me of Gila Bend, my hometown. It was hot and misunderstood. Naked BBQ made me want to get NAKED. Coming back for more!!! read more
