This place was great! The servers were amazing! The food was great! I highly recommend this place! I had their happy hour food, brisket slider and a pork slider excellent.... read more The baked beans were good also!
October 24, 2024Everything about this place was fantastic. We had a large group that ordered ribs, sandwhiches, burnt ends, mac-n-crack and it DID NOT disappoint. So delish.
October 20, 2024I had the sausage sandwich and it was amazing. Had some sauce and coleslaw on it and it’s definitely worth having. I recommend this place for lunch.
October 18, 2024Damn this place is good. Got a little of everything for my Dad’s birthday and it was all fantastic. They did not skimp on the sauces either, and the Sweet... read more Mustard sauce is heaven on Earth. It reheated good too and tasted even better for seconds the next day for lunch, how?? Best bbq in the Phoenix metro no doubt.
October 18, 2024Very friendly hostess. The brisket is some of the best I’ve ever had. It melts in your mouth.

The food was amazing and great service
September 27, 2024As a person that goes into restaurants ever so often, this is one of them to go to when it comes to the authenticity. Had a blast talking with the... read more employees that work there. And overall, has very nice presentation. Would come here again for a special day sometime around.
September 27, 2024O.M.G! I got the mac n crack and the slider sampler, my kid got the brisket and wedges. He won’t stop begging me to come back! Kid-friendliness: Super nice... read more to my kid.
September 27, 2024I loved the Mac and cheese! The pulled pork sandwich was just right 😩
September 27, 2024Excellent
September 25, 2024Super delicious and a really cool spot. You can even grab a bourbon. The staff is amazing and they also have a ton of sauces and different seasonings to try.... read more Definitely going back.
September 25, 2024Good solid BBQ. Highly recommend it especially the collard green and cornbread

Great barbecue but doesn't feel like a barbecue restaurant.
September 25, 2024This is a nice little place for casual BBQ dining. The seating is flexible, and they have two glass roll-up doors to connect the outdoor patio in nicer weather. Bar... read more set up is visually interesting with lots of glass to showcase the whisky and other selections. Overall, it is a pleasant atmosphere with good background music (not too loud so you can carry an easy conversation) and a few TVs near the bar. We ordered a selection of menu items and were happy with the quality for the most part. Wings and ribs were good. Texture and temperature were spot on. Brisket was a lean cut and a little on the dry side for my liking plain, but dipping in the wide selection of sauces dressed it up nicely. There are other reviews saying the mac and cheese was dry. If you're looking for a more liquid sauce variety made in a pot, this is not going to be for you. This mac is a baked style with a rich and creamy cheese melted into a thick, well flavored dish. The blend of cheese is perfect to accompany the vinegar flavors of the sauces. The grilled shrimp was a hit. A bit salty on its own but dipped in the vinegar based red sauce evened the flavors out. We ended up reordering more shrimp mid meal. The Ozark salad is a very large portion with generous toppings. Mine was missing the onion, which would add a pleasant contrast to the creaminess of the goat cheese and sweetness of the candied walnuts and cranberries. I didn't really notice until I was halfway through the salad and still enjoyed it. Sides we tried were the jalapeno cornbread (the flavor balance was about 90% cornbread with a weak 10% jalapeno. I would have liked a greater jalapeno flavor. It is a true savory cornbread with a traditional granular texture and solid body. It won't crumble away in your finger and is hearty. A nice honey butter would be a great flavor pairing). The beans are a solid 8/10, nothing special or remarkable to make them stand out on their own but combined with a meat make a good meal). The mustard potato salad was by far my favorite side (a creamy mayo and mustard sauce over crisp onion and potatoes cooked firm, not mushy, was a pleasant surprise. I don't like mustard potato salad in general, but whatever they did to make this recipe was 100/10 for me. I will go back just for this potato salad TBH) They have modified their sweets menu and eliminated the baked crumbles, which is what we were hoping to try. Maybe when the weather cools these will return. Instead they have a Krispy treat and brownie option, and of course ice cream. We opted to skip dessert. Our server was attentive and was always there if we needed him. The owner was actively engaged in the dining room, welcoming guests and chatting with tables as we received our food. Seems like he genuinely cares that his establishment is well run and people are happy with their experience. Recommend for small casual gatherings, meals with family (kid friendly) or to hangout and enjoy with friends. Parking: Store front parking and we observed plenty of open spaces. Kid-friendliness: This is a good place for older kids to enjoy. I wouldn't recommend for toddlers as the menu isn't chicken nuggets and kraft mac n cheese. Wheelchair accessibility: HC van accessible immediately in front of the double door entry. All tables have chair options and the bench seating has 1/2 chair side for wheelchair access.

The... read more brisket was nice, the pulled pork was decent, but I prefer it a bit smokier. The sauce selection is good if you like the Memphis style. My kids got catfish bites and chicken tenders. Catfish was great, the chicken tender was a bit dry. The Mac and cheese was great. We would return.
September 25, 2024This is the first Memphis-style dry rub that I have had that actually tastes as good as, well, Memphis dry rub! My family tried most of their meats, and they... read more were spot on (pulled pork, brisket, ribs & wings). They have a BBQ sauce station that is second to no other. I was amazed at how clean the area was to use any of their signature sauces, and they have a bunch! The prices are amazing for all of the food you get on the three meat plates (we got two orders). The style, cleanliness, and hospitality take me back to my days in Tennessee! But, wait...the owner, Daly, came out to say hello to folks. When he found out I was from a small town in Tennessee, I found out one of his chefs was from my hometown! Talk about authentic Tennessee BBQ! It brought me home! Beyond my own catharsis, this place has an awesome bar, patio and is just really cool. Y'all gotta check it out now.
September 25, 2024What can I say BBQ spots are a hit or a miss. This is a HIT! Must stop when you’re in Scottsdale. Highly recommend the brisket plate with fresh onions... read more & pickles. Get the cornbread! End that meal with a key lime pie for an excellent finale! If you see Mr.Thompson say hello and take his recommendation on what to get! P.S this review is certified 5 stars by my pregnant friend, she loved the ribs

The Best BBQ in this area! Hands down...so good!
August 25, 2024We went here last night based on recommendations from Nextdoor. Wow! Were we pleasantly surprised!! We’ve tried pretty much all the BBQ joints around Scottsdale and Phoenix and this... read more is certainly one of the best!! The food was delicious- brisket, pulled pork and ribs- all having a great smoke ring and flavor, tender and juicy. My wife and I shared the 3 meat platter and only were able to eat half- good sized portions. And I can’t say enough about the service. Our server Colin was very attentive but not overbearing - perfect! Fun, casual atmosphere and a GREAT bourbon selection. Daly, the owner came over to introduce himself and what a pleasure to speak with him. He brought out some just-off-the Pit burnt ends which were amazing and his secret special hot sauce was incredible. And I can’t say enough about their potato wedges!! We’ll definitely be telling our friends and get back there often.
August 25, 2024Amazing food and the staff if super attentive
August 25, 2024I wanna say the service was phenomenal. It’s family owned and you’re really get a feel for it. The owner comes out and introduces him himself. Ask how you’re doing... read more and offer samples of dry rub ribs fresh out the oven to try. The ribs were good. we ordered a pulled pork sandwich with a side of vegetarian bbq beans, a pulled chicken sandwich with a side of Mac and crack. The mac & cheese needed a little more seasoning just a little salt and pepper on top does the trick. The baked barbecue beans had a nice kick to them and achieve a nice smoky flavor without meat. The pulled pork sandwich was well seasoned but minimum because you are supposed to choose a sauce to complete the flavor which I appreciate our server was very attentive, I had a really good Mojito from the bar. We enjoyed our visit overall. this is our last day visiting in Arizona and I’m glad I visit boo and Henrys Memphis Pit bbq. 10/10 recommendation.
August 25, 2024I just found my new happy place – a two-month-old BBQ place in Scottsdale that's pure culinary delight…(my taste buds are laughing with joy)! 😋😋😋. Highly recommended!!
