Frasher's was excellent for doing everything I asked for. We have gluten sensitivities in our family. Maria made sure everything was carefully marked gluten free! We had brisket,pulled pork and ribs. They cut the ribs individually so that was a bonus. The corn was fresh and delicious. Along with the mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The finishing touch was the ice cream custard it was a hit with the chocolate pecan pie! Needless to say our family party was a hit. We had to he party at our home so we arranged for pick up. read more

Group of 6 guys, our weekly lunch group trying places in this area. I had a great dinner at Frashers tavern, and suggested we try the smokehouse. Some pluses, couple of minuses. The good: Baby back ribs were some of the best I have ever had. Perfectly done, not falling off the bone like mushy pulled pork, delicious! All the sides were pretty good. Mac n cheese, beans, cornbread. Nicely done. Not so good: wanted to try the supposed daily special of brisket/ burnt end sausage. They only had chicken, so I passed. One gent had the turkey, was told it was fresh roasted, he swears it was some kind of deli turkey, not slices off the breast. Iced tea tasted like bad tap water, a pet peeve expressed by all. One of us ordered the butter cake 11$. Was not pleased with it at all. Service was okay. Comfortable table & chairs. I still want to try the sausage, and definitely get more ribs. I am a huge fan of George Frasher food, I was a bit embarrased at having recommended this place to my friends. read more

'm a St Louis native living in Tucson. When I heard that there is a restaurant in Phoenix that serves St Louis style food I knew I had to try it. We were recently in Phoenix and I knew we decided to stop by. I was just hoping and praying that Frasher's would not disappoint this homesick girl. We were greeted warmly as soon as we came in. Andrea was our server and she was attentive, kind and answered all of our questions about the menu. Moreover, she's a St Louis native so she knew her stuff. I ordered toasted ravioli (beef), a St Louis salad, and a cheese pizza with Provel. The t-ravs were spot on and the sauce was delicious. The salad was good and the pizza was pretty darn close to Imo's style. My heart was happy. My husband ordered the brisket and burnt ends and really enjoyed them. I will definitely be returning to Frasher's when I am in Phoenix but, to be honest, this restaurant deserves a little day trip from Tucson every now and then for a taste of home. Bonus: they also sell Provel cheese by the pound! read more

This was was an OMG foodie moment! After some searching around for a meal I ended up at FRASHER's for some BBQ.. What a classic joint with high end quality smoked meats. Ok, it's food review time. I ordered a few items, Smoked Turkey & Ribs combo, Gumbo, Burnt Ends Sandwich & chicken wings our food experiences at Frasher's has always been high quality BBQ. But one thing that I always love dining on is the smoked turkey. So moist and tender, a flavor that will stick in your mind when thinking smoked meat... read more

Frasher's Smokehouse is definitely worth a visit for any BBQ lover! I had a great experience here, and I'm already planning my next trip back to dive deeper into their menu. I ordered the brisket, and it was seriously tasty. It was cooked well, tender, and had that great smoky flavor you expect from a quality smokehouse. It was exactly what I was hoping for and completely satisfying. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt authentic and comfortable, a perfect setting for enjoying some classic BBQ. The only reason I'm holding back the fifth star is that I only tried one item! But based on the high quality of the brisket, I have high hopes for the rest of the menu. I will definitely be back soon, and I am especially intrigued and excited to try their pizza. read more

This place is great. The smoked turkey is phenomenal. Best I have ever had. My kids crave it. Go!

We had a friend visiting from California who is originally from St. Louis so we had to take him to Frasher's! It's the only place out here where you can get St Louis style thin crust "Imo's" pizza with the provel cheese. Provel is a combination of cheddar, swiss, and provolone. You can't get it anywhere in AZ but Frasher's! Trust me I've tried. We ordered a sausage and a veggie pizza. We ordered the St. Louis Salad with Romaine lettuce, Artichoke hearts, red onion, Provel cheese, and Parmesan Vinaigrette, Yum! We also ordered St Louis Toasted Raviolis, one meat order and one cheese. Everything was delicious and the marinara sauce that comes with the Raviolis is amazing. The pizza is thin crust and cut into small squares! We had to get a piece of St Louis Gooey Butter Cake for dessert. Our friend was over the moon with the St Louis meal. read more

Fraser's is an interesting place...it has a bar, it's a BBQ place and a pizza place all rolled into one. Been here a few times, as this place is inspired by St Louis. They feature a St Louis Style pizza, which is a thin crust pizza that's cut up in squares. Decor is that of a BBQ place, nothing too fancy. However, there's a bunch of St Louis items on the wall. Their Brisket is good, haven't tried the rest of their meats. The St Louis style pizza is good, if you're into that style of pizza. Had the Turkey gumbo a few times, it was decent. Service is fine, no complaints here. My only major complaint here is a lack of a lunch menu. The BBQ menu doesn't have much under $20. You can get a 10 inch pizza for under $20 or a Turkey Gumbo for $12, that's it. Most ppl aren't going to spend $25 for a lunch. they can unlock a lot of business with some lunch specials. read more

Great food with friendly service. Ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and pork. Beans and mashed potatoes were also flavorful. Would recommend read more

And again.. I went to Frazier's for their amazing barbecue.. The last time I will ever go to this establishment. !!!! My order was off. I originally ordered a half pound of ribs and then I changed my to ordered a 1-2 pound of rids .., I got a half pound or ribs less. I called..around 2pm . The gentleman on the phone was awfully rude. ( he hung up 2 times on me). Uncaring and couldn't care less. This place has beyond potential because of the amazing Food. It's the bad customer service that is blocking the potential of what it could be. Nobody cares , or understands how to run a proper business there. Kindness, peace of heart and understanding is what goes along way. There was no one I the restaurant except me. Perform the best customer service that you can ever give for a business or your establishment a company. I tried to give this company, business establishment the benefit of a doubt .. Was my last time , and I'm done! I see closure soon.. read more

I am not sure why I added this to my bookamarks, but we were coming back from Sky Harbor on the way home and I suggested this place. Food: Barely edible. The pulled pork was fatty and greasy. The burnt ends ordered vs what we received was a mess. They may have run out putting them on pizzas, because my order looked like cut up brisket. Some pieces were just a fatty mess. Best part of the meal, which for the 3 of us was over $100 was the toasted bread and side of corn. Service: Understaffed and one couple sat for 10 min and just left. We should have done the same... Two waiters covering the whole place. Overall: Maybe I caught them on an off night, but food was some of the worst BBQ I have ever had. Not worth coming back. sorry. read more

We had high hopes. I'd seen Frasher's on the Food Network a while back and we finally had a chance to try it. I will admit I went primarily for the Burnt Ends Pizza. It's a St. Louis style pizza with the cracker crust and provel cheese. It was decent, but didn't wow me. My husband chose the 2-meat plate which is his go-to at most BBQ places. He had brisket and tri-tip. For sides, he had the garlic mashed and mac & cheese. He said the meats were ok, and the mashed potatoes were probably his favorite thing. I did try the mac & cheese and found it to be rather soupy had very little cheese flavor. That was a disappointment! It also came with toast which I found odd. I would have expected a roll or even cornbread. We also decided to split the Gooey Butter Cake and I'm so glad we didn't get a separate piece each as it was far too sweet to eat the entire slice. Service was good, and the musician playing outside was nice, but the food just wasn't our favorite and with better BBQ closer to our house, we don't anticipate that we'll be back. read more

I came out for a golf trip with some buddies. One of the guys picked Frasher's before our visit to pop stroke. We came in on a Saturday at 1pm. We were a party of 12 which didn't seem to be a problem since we were seated immediately. We are all from California so we were all in the dark about this place. Staff was extremely diligent on tending to our every need. I had the gumbo. Not only was it the most inexpensive thing on the menu but it was the most delicious. Spicy but not too spicy filled with their recommended turkey. Everyone else had the two meat combo sandwich plate. There were no complaints. All the boys said everything was delicious. From the Mac and cheese, corn bread, brisket, burnt ends, and tri tip. No pizza or chicken was tried during our visit but the pizza looked good, they had a fresh one on the bar as we walked in. What I really liked about our visit was when we were finished eating, our server would come up to the table and say "may I take your plate." Which to me showed great manners, growing up in California we rarely come across a kind soul. So thank you for the experience. We'll drop by again next golf trip. read more

I've lived around the corner from this place for five years and have driven by a million times. Was craving BBQ and decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did. As soon as we sat down, the owner George Frasher came over and introduced himself. He said he owns three restaurants across the valley and gave us some great recommendations on the menu. The service was incredibly friendly and quick. The ribs melted off the bone and the sides were all delicious. The patio was lovely and there was live music. The prices were also great for the portion size. Love supporting a local business. Highly reccomend a visit if you haven't been before! read more

Food was VERY good! We had it delivered and was still very fresh. We got a combination of brisket, chicken, and pulled pork. Only thing I wish was better was the cornbread but I'm a cornbread critic Highly recommend! read more

As a southerner, this definitely is not the best BBQ I've ever had, but it sorta satisfies the craving. If it was just off food, I'd give like 3 stars but the service was so good!! A lot of people were just in there at the bar talking so seems like a cool spot to grab a drink and chill. Food Details: I got 3 meat plate with turkey, chicken & brisket. Turkey was the best & had a nice smoky flavor. Brisket was tender but ok seasoning. Chicken was dry. Mashed potatoes were ok, kinda bland. Corn was delish. Cornbread had a nice flavor but dry. Everything was pretty okay doused in BBQ. They have reg options: sweet, spicy, original. They all lowkey taste similar but def disappointed with the spicy as it was not spicy AT ALL. I wouldn't go here again bc the food but the service was really nice and it had a regular BBQ style restaurant. read more

We stopped in to order takeout. The manager went above and beyond checking EVERY item for my wife's allergy.

I stopped by Frasher's Smokehouse for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Located in Arcadia, I had an hour to spare before a reservation at a speakeasy close by. I love BBQ so this was a no-brainer for me. Especially because I had never had St. Louis style BBQ prior. I parked in their complimentary lot in front of the restaurant. Ambiance (4.5/5): Pretty much what you would expect from a barbecue joint. Wood everywhere, country decor, and a laid back environment. If you're dining in, you can sit wherever you'd like. I posted up at a booth. Service (4.5/5): Friendly service. Attentive too as out waiters stopped by periodically to make sure we had everything we needed. Drinks (N/A); I just had a sweet tea on this visit so nothing to write home about here. Though they do have a happy hour (including weekends) with drink and food specials. Food (3/5): I will preface this portion of my review by saying that I'm from Texas, so my BBQ standards are quite high. With that being said, I was pumped to try some St. Louis-style BBQ. The first thing that stands out is that they have pizza. This isn't something I've ever seen at a BBQ joint. They even appeared on the Food Network. St. Louis-style pizza is tavern style, meaning thin crust. It also uses a local cheese, Provel cheese, rather than your typical marinara. I went with the 10-inch BBQ burnt ends pizza which comes with spicy BBQ sauce as the base, and is then topped with burnt ends, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. This was my favorite part of the meal! The crisp pizza complemented the BBQ well, and this is coming from a guy who isn't the biggest fan of thin-crust pizza. I also had the two-meet combination plate with ribs, tri-tip, garlic mashed potatoes, and corn. If you've never had tri-tip, it's sliced sirloin (beef). Both the tri-tip and ribs weren't there for me. They weren't bad by any means. But when I think of top-notch BBQ, I think of meat that falls off the bones. Where every bite is so succulent that you feel like you're in heaven. Not the case here. The same can be said of the sides. Mediocre. They also give you some toasted bread with your plate, and you have three BBQ sauces to choose from at your table (original, sweet, and spicy). I was expecting a little more. While I enjoyed my meal at Frasher's and the service was great, the meat isn't quite there yet. read more

Wonderful food, friendly service! Their ribs fell of the bones into my watering mouth!! So good! The restaurant if family friendly and casual. We will definitely go back again and again! read more

We ordered our Thanksgiving turkey and ham to go. First off, the service was awesome. I wish I remembered the guy at the front (dirty blonde, caucasian) because he was awesome. He was friendly and helpful. He also grabbed another guy to help carry out the 2 turkeys and ham. Big plus is that they were the only place we could find the option to have the turkeys and ham ready to serve, i.e. no re-heating required! The turkey was smoked and delicious. The ham was some of the best ham we have ever had. It was also smoked and tender. I wish we just had Thanksgiving at Frasher's because it looked like a great relaxing and fun place to be. read more

We went last Sunday. We walked in and were able to seat ourselves. The place was clean and they did have live music there. A gentleman came over and asked if we wanted to start with ice water or drinks. My wife said she would start with ice water while I got a coke. Was never asked if wanted anything else to drink. Server came and took our order. My wife got the burnt ends pizza which was really good. I got the 2 meat platter with brisket and tri trips, with garlic mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. The garlic mashed potatoes was good and the meats were decent. The Mac and cheese was soupy and not much cheese flavor. We got 1 order of gooey butter cake for dessert and it was too sweet for both of us. It is a decent place with decent food, but I don't think we will be going back. read more

Wanted to give a shout to George to the owner of Fashers Smokehouse. I've lived long enough in St Louis to know what IMOS Pizza is and then becoming my favorite pizza. If you are from St Luois then you'll find out that Frashers Pizza is spot on to IMOS. But have to say that Frashers IMOS pizza is better than the actual IMOS pizza. Great service, great decor, and our waitress was so professional. Wife and I really enjoyed our dinner. Fyi dessert was awesome. From The Lou, Joel. read more

We've been here so many time and hope they will change but they don't.Two things good! Their BBQ ribs and their corn. Cole slaw couldn't be worse. The place is ike a morgue.

Vintage junk read more

A St Louis style restaurant right in Phoenix serving St Louis style pizza (thin crust with special cheese), toasted ravioli (fried raviolis) and gooey butter cake. Came on a Friday night and it was busy but not overwhelming. Super casual atmosphere. Toasted ravs tasted great and the ribs were also very good. The gooey butter cake is the owner's family recipe. I just wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese. Service was quick and the owner came around and made sure the patrons were happy with their food. The owner ( grew up in South City St. Louis) gets his crust and Provel cheese shipped from St Louis. It's nice to have a taste of the Midwest here in the desert! read more

I hate that I'm writing this review. I know I don't have to, but after what we ate and after seeing all the positive reviews and pictures I just kind of want to vent. I'm from STL. Born and raised. Aside from the crime, I love everything about STL and make no apologies for it. The last time I went to Frasher's Smokehouse was when they were still on Scottsdale Rd. I went multiple times and loved it. I even watched the 2011 World Series there, so the place holds a special spot in my heart. Unfortunately, I moved further away from the area and hadn't been back since. My fiancée and I were in the area, and I'd been raving about Frasher's to her for a long time, so we stopped in on Friday night around 8:30 p.m. It wasn't busy at all (maybe 3 or 4 parties total) and we were told to sit wherever we liked. A server came by almost immediately with water and menus. We stuck with the waters and ordered a 10" pepperoni pizza and a two-meat platter (tri-tip and pulled pork) with garlic mashed potatoes and green chili mac to share, plus a gooey butter cake to go. The food came out within a reasonable amount of time, but right away I noticed the pizza looked plain. I didn't want to complain, though, given my positive memories of Frasher's. Sadly, the pizza was not good. The crust tasted like it had been undercooked from frozen. The sauce was nearly nonexistent and flavorless, and the cheese was sheet white. (I wish I had taken a picture to show the difference but look at other reviews.) With Imo's-style pizza, the cheese is nicely browned on top and slightly crispy around the edges. I've eaten a LOT of Imo's-style pizza in my life, and this was not a good representation. Onto the platter... The pulled pork and garlic mash were pretty good. Nice smoke on the pork, moist, and the sauces were solid. (Mixing the sweet and spicy together is the move, by the way.) The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and garlicky. Honestly, I wanted to stab my fiancée's hand with my fork just to keep them all to myself, but I figured she's better company than the dudes I'd end up with in jail. The tri-tip and mac, though? Not good. The tri-tip was overcooked and dry. Hard to even comment on the flavor because of that. The mac was cold, way too loose and wet, with barely any green chili flavor. It felt like they took cold elbow macaroni and poured leftover cheese sauce on top. All of this--with waters and a slice of gooey butter cake--came out to a whopping $62.00. A two-meat (and not a generous two-meat) platter with two sides, a 10" one-topping half-assed pizza, and a sliver of gooey butter cake... for SIXTY-TWO dollars. I get the cost of food and eating out going up but this is WAY too much for what we got and I have 0 issues with paying for good food. All that said... I dig and appreciate what my STL brother is doing here and based on all the other reviews and my past experience I still recommend giving Frasher's Smokehouse a go. read more

As a Texan, it will satisfy the craving for BBQ in a pinch. The service was great. Our waitress was on top of it and friendly. We were excited to find a place closer to home. Portion size was about an actual portion size. It was overpriced for the amount you get. It's hard to get sweet tea that's not flavored but they had it.

Not good, started going to this place maybe five years ago, it was great, went back every Thanksgiving since, but it has gotten consistently worse and this year we paid like $150 for food that was inedible. total garbage. the turkey was dry. the cornbread was stale. there was nothing good about it. I felt ripped off. And I was disappointed with everything. It was just that bad, tossed into the garbage. you owe me $150. read more
