Julia B.

Great tasting BBQ in Heber-Overgaad. Got a chicken and slab of ribs. Worth a stop and it will not disappoint.

Good BBQ
Dave R.

Once again did not disappoint! Brisket was excellent, cucumber salad super fresh, ribs smoked well and were 'ok', bone fall off quality but a bit over done imo, especially for price bit blame Joe B for that point. Was sad, only hase broasted chicken on SUNDAYS, it is definitely one of those order ahead items, cause people there early or calling to order ahead always and he only has a certain number. Left over ribs for breakfast tacos were spot on, smelled so so good! Highly recommend for this area. Note: looks like a new Luau place opened by Ace hardware down the street, next adventure.

Lovely shaded outdoor seating.

Best barbecue on the rim... broasted organic chicken only on Sundays... order in advance to make sure you get one as they always go fast!

Hello! If you are looking for the perfect breakfast place in Heber/Overgaard, Wood Shed Cafe is my…read moretop recommendation. There's never been a place closer to home. Second-to-none meals, speedy service and a great selection for a sit-down restaurant. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, made with a plain bagel, scrambled eggs, sausage, and some extra jalapeños. Everything was homemade, and nothing was like a Cisco brand at all. The bagel was fluffy, the eggs were scrambled to perfection, the sausage was juicy and the jalapeños were a nice add-on. I hope to try the waffles or the breakfast burrito next time. When I came in, the waitress had me at a table in no time, ready to ask my drink and, only about 10 minutes later, my order. The staff provided me with the WiFi password (which I believe to be "Chritina1911", not Christina, or something of that) and were very kind and helpful. Inside was jam-packed of cowboy pictures, taxidermies, funny signs, booths, tables, American flags of different nature (Army, Navy, Navy Seabees), and a bunch of happy people! It was very American, which I love. The restaurant was clean, the booths had felt of some sort and overall a very comforting experience. What I realize, and what you should too, is that it's not everyday a cafe like this is here in your area. I recommend this to all breakfast lovers, this was truly a fantastic place. So take a trip down to Wood Shed Cafe for amazing food, spectacular service and a cozy American dining feel! Thank you!

During my long weekend in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, our Uber driver recommended this spot. He…read moredidn't miss! We love a good Sunday brunch and supporting Black, woman-owned businesses. I was proactive and made reservations from their website. It was same day so we got in for 1:30 PM which was great when you want a lazy morning. Upon arriving, the location is in a shopping plaza but nothing else appears to be open or even in business. There's plenty of free parking in the lot but we took a ride share. There's nearby retailers like Costco but in this complex it looked dead except for Sugar Jam. When you enter, people were waiting to be seated and you can hear the music from outside! This is a lively, DJ friendly atmosphere with lots of activity happening from the bar to the dining room. The hostess checked us in, we walked around and took pictures, admired all the beautiful people dining and it's an open kitchen where you see the orders coming up. Mom and I were seated maybe 10 minutes after our reservation time. We were greeted by Vante - such a nice young man who was patient and helped us decide on what to order. We settled on the margarita flight, the watermelon hibiscus whisky smash, wings & waffles and the French toast and chicken. I also got blessed with a shout out from the DJ and a free shot for my birthday! The food came out quickly (however not together), was plated nicely and the flavors were present. The brown sugar butter and warm syrup on my French toast was a hit. The only complaint I'd note is the heat inside the establishment. I left my fan and desperately needed it. They did eventually bring out some industrial fans to cool the dining area off. The a/c needs to crank harder with all the bodies plus open kitchen. Otherwise, a great spot to eat, sing along, vibe a little and enjoy great breakfast food.

My friend and I pulled up and immediately thought, "This has to be a business or industrial area. This can't be it!" But sure enough, it was! Parking is pretty scarce, so just a heads-up. When we walked in, we noticed how aesthetically pleasing the place was. The artwork and decor were on point, and even the bathroom was decorated really cute! Our food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the catfish and grits. I personally prefer cheesy grits, but these came with a Southern gravy that was actually pretty good. I also like my fried eggs crispy around the edges, and they made them perfectly! I ordered the breakfast punch, which was just okay. It tasted more like juice, and I couldn't really taste the alcohol. I also wanted to try the margarita flight, but $30 was a little too pricey for me.Our waiter wasn't very sociable compared to some of the other waiters working that day, which was a little disappointing.Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in Arizona. However, I'd probably just order takeout next time!

On the drive back from New Mexico, I had to stop in Payson and check this BBQ spot out, and I'm…read moreglad I did. The location was really nice and open with a patio, and the inside was spacious without the tables being packed together. Plenty of room to sit back and actually enjoy your meal. I went with the ribs, and they were smoked just right--exactly how I like them. Honestly, they didn't even need BBQ sauce. I ate some with just the rub and some with sauce, and both ways were delicious. The mashed potatoes were so good I should've ordered more. The mac and cheese wasn't overly creamy, which was perfect for me, and I can't forget the Caesar salad. Really good Caesar salad, and one thing I always appreciate--serve it on a cold plate. This one came out nice and cold and was super fresh. Overall, really good BBQ, great sides, and a nice comfortable location. Definitely worth the stop if you're in Payson.

Hello Everyone: This review is for Rim Country BBQ and Wood Fired Pizzas in Payson, AZ…read more This was our first time at this restaurant. We would definitely come back again. Because we could not decide what to order, we got the sampler plate which had meats, sides, and dipping sauces. The photos show you the "before" and "after" of our meal! Bathrooms are clean. We had no problem finding off-street parking. Analysis of experience: This plate is enough for two people. You get: two ribs, two 1/2 pieces of sausage, a scoop of pulled pork (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup), two thin slices of brisket and some sliced smoked turkey breast. Also included is a sampler container of their dipping sauces to enjoy with your meat. Sides included: baked beans, corn, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, potato salad and mac & cheese. Our meat favorites were the ribs and the pulled pork. This is why: I first tried a bit of each meat with no sauce. I don't want to review sauces and sauces can cover up/mask many issues just like a coat of paint on a wall. Therefore, I started with meat (no sauce) tastings, then moved to the meat and sauce tasting. Ribs: The rib meat easily cut off the bone and was tender. There was not a lot of meat, the bones were pretty big as you can see, but what meat there was had a nice flavor and was tender. Pulled Pork: The pulled pork was some of the most tender I have experienced. This meat went well with ALL the dipping sauces served to us. I did not get a lot of smoke flavor to it, the flavor was subtle, but that allowed for the sauces to shine a little bit. Brisket: The brisket was tender, but I felt the fat line on the top of the brisket was still too intact for me (not rendered enough so the fat juices get down into the meat) and I thought the brisket was a tad dry. Turkey: The turkey breast had a nice flavor, but again, it was very subtle. This meat was also a tad dry, not bad with sauce on it, but could have been a little juicier. That was perhaps my least favorite because it was on the dry side. Sausage: The sausage was 1/2 of a sausage cut in 1/2 again as you can see in the photo. This was a spicy sausage with a charred cut side, very nice. The char on the sausage added a nice crunch to each bite. My husband and I both agreed our favorites were the ribs and the pulled pork and should we return, these two meats would be on our radar. Regarding the sides, here is my review: The yellow corn was average - nothing special. The mashed potatoes were average - nothing special. Mac & Cheese - average, nothing special. The sauce on this item was too runny for us. The sauce wound up against other items on the plate. The cole slaw was nice, fresh tasting, but I think it needed a dash of fennel. The coleslaw and the potato salad (items which are served cold) were co-mingled on the plate with all the hot items. I would have preferred them being served inside a small bowl or container on the serving platter to keep them cold. The potato salad was very good - I would definitely order that again. The beans were excellent - I would definitely order those again. This menu item is also served with a piece of garlic bread which was very good - it had melted butter on it and tasted like garlic! I am giving this 5 Stars even with some short falls regarding flavor and or juiciness because of the environment, friendly staff, clean bathrooms, available to find parking without driving around, and menu choices. The menu is large, enough choices for everyone to get something. If we are back in the area, we will try one of their pizzas. Hannah was our server and she did a nice job checking on us since she knew it was our first time there. Very pleasant, nice smile, and good with her customers. Enjoy!
