State 48 Hometown BBQ - Two 2 Meat Choice Plate: Brisket and Ribs with the slaw and ranch beans - Barbeque Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

I stopped by on a Friday afternoon. The dining areas were clean and spacious. Big picnic benches outdoors. The wonderful aromas hit when I opened the door. There were many choices of meats and sides. I ordered the messy cowboy pulled pork sandwich with sides of Mac and cheese and bbq beans. The server built the sandwich and loaded the sides as I watched. Pork was tender and flavorful. Sheldon sauce was creamy. Great balance with coleslaw on top. Sides were delicious too. I'll be coming back to try the ribs and brisket read more

The workers were so nice and patient with our huge group. They had run out cookies for the kids and so they hooked our whole group up with the fluffernutter dessert. And don't even get me started on the food! It was incredible! I highly recommend this place. Top-notch! read more

State 48 Hometown BBQ - Sloppy Sheldon - Barbeque Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

We enjoy stopping in here periodically for some yummy BBQ. I usually get the loaded spud, but today I opted for the Sloppy Sheldon. Tommy went with the ribs. We hit it between rushes so it was quiet. The ladies working today were spot on, friendly, and helpful. It is always clean when we have been. They keep the tables stocked with paper towels. And we like the fact they keep the sauces in the fridge and give you your own basket at the counter. read more

I've been here quite a few times and it's always a hit or miss. There has been times where we are given day old Mac and cheese. The people that work there are friendly tho. Spent $40 on 2 sandwiches and 3 small Mac's . read more

We have tried several different times to go over and eat there but it's been closed. Then I called and got no answer so I assume it's closed. Then we tried again they must just close whenever they want. How are they supposed to stay in business If you run a business like that. So we went over to "The Mad Honey BBQ Food Truck on Montezuma Great bbq so delicious. read more

The flavor of everything was good but.......the biggest issue we had was trying to enjoy a HOT meal. I ordered first and my sandwich sat at the register waiting for my husband's order to be made. The sauces on the table were cold, the ceiling fans blasting didn't help. My husband had 2 meats and sides. By the time he got to the 2nd meat it was cold, the corn bread was cold (and he is ex-military and eats fast!). The staff was very pleasant and the food tasted good, just not hot. We came at an off time and can only imagine it would be even worse when they are really busy. Not sure that we will be back, sadly. read more

The restaurant had exceptional customer service and delicious food! We were offered to taste every single side since it was our first time here. Every single person was welcoming and really happy to be there. We felt at home and we couldn't have picked a better place in our trip to Prescott. read more

We got take out to eat at hotel. It was soooo amazing; we both (hubs) loved everything and everything was a little different from what we can get at home. He got the two item platter with chicken and brisket; sides were smoked mashed potatoes and gravy and smoked green beans. We couldn't decide on which of the four sauces we liked best. I got the slider and sarsaparilla special with pulled pork; smoked green beans side. I also got an Ala carte Mac n cheese side so that I could have porky Mac sliders with sauce. We will be ordering again this trip! read more

Looked and smelled great. 7:00 pm on a Saturday, the brisket was bone dry. Notified the staff and no attempt to fix it. Going elsewhere next time. read more

State 48 Hometown BBQ - 2-22-25 $28.00 Dinner Plate with brisket and pulled pork. - Barbeque Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Good ambiance, we tried the brisket and chicken. Brisket is really good, but chicken is a bit dry. Sides are ok.

Brisket lean and fatty was perfect, flavor and texture. The four sauces also outstanding, use the meat to taste the wonderful sauces. Staff was friendly and attentive. Nice BBQ place and a place for outdoor seating. I'm going back the next time I'm in town. read more

Great BBQ. Brisket and chicken are one of the best and love the all the sides. The only reason for the 4 stars is they close at 7pm and usually by 6pm they are out of a lot of the bbq meats. read more

I love all kinds of barbecue and the brisket did not disappoint. I've been to Arthur Bryant's in KC, Sweatman's in Holly Hill, Lexington Barbecue, the Hitching Post and many other BBQ destinations, so I write with some authority. When in Prescott, this place will satisfy your craving for que. read more

The only reason why you got 2 stars is because the blonde at the counter was friendly and the Cole slaw was decent. The brisket was dry, the sausage was dry and flavorless. The potato was cold as were all of the toppings. The green beans were mushy and had a weird flavor. I couldn't tell you how the corn muffin tasted because I couldn't eat it after I found a long blonde hair baked into it. Will not be returning. read more

Very friendly staff and tasty bbq. We had the brisket, sausage, baked potato, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and peach cobbler. Every single thing was good. Great sauce selection, and the gluten free options were well marked. Highly recommend. read more

State 48 Hometown BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Perfect!!!! Today was my 3rd visit and it was just as perfect as my first 2!! I ordered a pound of brisket, VERY lean. It is always tender and juicy without being fatty. Perfect amount of smoke and seasoning. Best brisket I have ever had!!!! All the employees are nice and accommodating. They seem happy to be there, which creates a great atmosphere. Ahhhhh.... my new favorite restaurant! Thank you!!! read more

Seemed disorganized and took a long time to order with not many people at the restaurant . Brisket wasn't bad but a little dry. The food was fair. Everything's wrapped in plastic Saran Wrap when I'd think it should be tin foil when it's hot food. People were friendly though. read more

I so wanted this to be a new favorite but it's a major fail. In short, cold muffin and unspreadable butter; the lukewarm items included unseasoned Mac and cheese, tough collards, baked potato; pulled pork portion included a 4-5 ounce blob of pure fat; chicken was dry; Lean Brisket was good. Meatloaf wasn't ready for lunch crowd. read more

This is our new BBQ shack in Prescott!!! The food was excellent even though we showed up 30-45mins before closing time. We literally just got the "scraps" left over from the day. I can't imagine and cannot wait for what it will be like next time!!! The staff were AMAZING!!! Super friendly and helpful. They navigated us through the menu and also what they still had that we should try. The setting is reminiscent of a Texas road side BBQ shack, which we loved! It's got the smells... It's got the looks... and it's got the service! read more

Wow, where to start..?? Well, I've owned quite a few retail businesses in California and have employed many people before moving to Prescott 3 years ago. This was our first visit since the change of ownership to Jamaal and Rhona McCoy in the past months... We went with another couple. There was one family before us in line, so as we stood, waiting for 5 then 10 minutes to order, we heard the female employee, apologizing to the mother of the family for taking so long to get their order together. Apparently, the counter girl, in addition to taking the order, was also the chef responsible for expediting the food out of the kitchen too, while another employee just stood, helplessly watching this calamity... The female worker continued to ask the mother about the details of her order, until the mom, just shook her head, looking at us to apologize for the unnecessary delay... This went on for a few more minutes, and when she'd apparently finished, and we were finally at the counter to order, the employee started distractedly cleaning her station instead of offering to help us. So, I just jumped in and offered the most succinct order I could, and she said, "...and what other meat do you want..??" I'd described my order with the accompanying sides in detail and didn't understand what else she was looking for in addition, and she asked again...what other meats do you want..?? I repeated the entire order with all the necessary detail and she again asked ...what other meat do you want..?? She repeated these exact words at least 5 times without looking at me at any point in this exchange. This left me stunned... Is she on drugs..?? Anyway, I gave up and left the line as I was not having any success trying to place our order, and told my wife and friends who had already been sitting at a table, let's go, I can't seem to order anything here... This counter-girl had an attitude, and instead of being friendly and helping me order, she just argued with me during this exchange. We certainly won't be back, and as we're all 4 active in the town's many clubs and service organizations, we'll spread the word... read more

I live in Phoenix we came just to visit Prescott and most the places we looked at were expensive. This place is VERY reasonable for the amount of food you are getting. We paid $30 and some change for 2 brisket sandwiches with a lot of meat btw & 3 sides. Technically mine was 2 sides because I got the baked potato which was huge and it was so good. We did a to go order and the service was great and the atmosphere inside was very nice as well. read more

State 48 Hometown BBQ - Brisket Sandwich with 2 Sides - Barbeque Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Had a late lunch here a few days ago with the husband. It was our first time going, having passed by it several times. The ambience is very much bbq joint but clean and comfortable. I ordered the pulled chicken sammie and DH got the brisket. The guys behind the counter were great, the portions are generous and the prices are more than fair. I loved all of their bbq sauces -- just delicious! We will definitely be returning to try out more menu items. read more

Went for lunch, the service is great. Very friendly, attentive and caring staff. Selection of menu items is great, lots to choose from. I had kids meal, chicken slider, green beans, drink, and a brownie. Everything tasted good. Spouse had loaded spud with brisket and all the trimmings, plus cornbread. He was happy with it but couldn't finish bc it was so much food. Choice of 4 BBQ sauces and all were great. I'd recommend and will come back soon. Total cost $22 read more

Friendly staff, delicious food and variety. A but pricey, but still a great experience!

My tri tip was just ok. I thought the portions were a bit small for the price. We will try it again, maybe on a Monday to check out their meatloaf. B read more

Food was amazing! Everything homemade and delicious. Mouth watering BBQ with homemade sauces. Sides are all tasty. Portions are plenty full. Highly recommended! read more

From the moment we arrived the service was impeccable. The cook explained all the questions we had ((with great patience)) and even cut into a new brisket giving us a requested piece with less fat. The others explained the sides in detail and even gave us a small sample. The food was delicious! It had so much flavor and not as salty as other places we had been to. We passed 3 other BBQ places to get to this restaurant, and from the cost, to the service and finally the amazing food -it was completely worth the trip!! read more

My favorite place for BBQ- and my dogs too! Consistently good food and service and dog friendly.

I was a 1st timer to State 48 BBQ & Loved it ! Especially the Sedona BBQ sauce for my pulled pork sandwich. My Mac n Cheese and the Cole Slaw were CrAzY crunchy GOOD Yummmm! My server Crystal is a sweetheart, if you're new to Prescott (Pronounced "Press-Kit" by locals) You've got to stop at this place, and tell Crystal that Keith sent you ! read more

Great customer service. Ribs, pork-good collard greens- delicious Mac and cheese- very very dry Brisket-great corn bread-ok link-ok loaded potato- very good sauces were good too. Potato salad didn't seem home made but my friend liked it. It was a very cute please, and inviting. Not many ppl there. I didn't get any photos. read more

Friendly staff. My spouse loves the ribs and the Sedona BBQ sauce. I am a vegetarian, so I got sides. The cole slaw is just okay, but the potato was huge and tasty. Mac and cheese was good but nothing special. Corn bread was over steamed. read more

I took out dinner from this restaurant just before it closed. The meats seemed tired--my wife said her chicken was dry and overly salty. My pulled pork was ok but the brisket was dry and bland. Meat portions were smaller than at other BBQs in the area. The sides were much better: wife's cole slaw and potato salad very good, my mac 'n cheese good, collard greens excellent--smoky and rich. Service by counterman was excellent. read more

Great food and choice of sauces. Service was excellent. Customer service was very good. A must for anyone who enjoys BBQ.

The best BBQ restaurant in Northern Arizona. The brisket is moist, tender, and full of flavor. Their BBQ sauces and sides are top notch!

Very friendly staff, the ask for our order and it came out quick! A very relaxed atmosphere and the food was very tasty. We had the pulled pork, their smokey mashed potatoes and gravy was to die for. They potatoe salad was excellent too! We will definitely come back here again. Amazing they were open on the 4th of July read more
