Great food with service to match. Mac and cheese was my favorite side. George, the owner, very personable.

Great pizza: went there with a buddy and tried their barbecue pizza. Got hooked and returned twice in 2 weeks got more. So good.

Ordered for the first time, I opted for the 3 meat platter with 2 sides and Texas toast. it was really good. Very tasty. The pulled pork and chicken were delicious. Turkey was a little dry. The Garlic mashed potatoes were my favorite. The only complaint was the green chili Mac-n-cheese (tasted like boxed not homemade) didn't have enough Cheese, but I added extra cheddar Cheese at home and it tasted good. I'll get French fries or baked beans next time. I loved the 3 bar-b-que sauces they include: the spicy, the tangy and the sweet. I Will definitely order again read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - Bar-b-que Pulled pork, turkey and chicken with Texas toast and sides: garlic mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Sauces were great and markedly different from each other. I love the easy access and the readily available to-go containers. The turkey and chicken were moist and flavorful. The beef was not as flavorful or tender. For sides I thought contrary to the potato bashing made be other YELPERS, I liked the consistency of their mash. read more

How great to find a St. Louis restaurant and bar! Really cool that they have a "314" menu with St. Louis specific specialties like thin crust/Imo's style pizza, toasted ravioli, St. Louis salad, st. Louis style ribs, burnt brisket ends and gooey butter cake! All of which were excellent. ***Atmosphere***: this place is pretty wide open and casual with a small bar that faces a single screen TV. The whole restaurant only has three TVs and they are not as big and easy to see as you may want if you're looking to really watch a game. If you're close-up, it's not bad. Of course Frasher's, I don't believe, is supposed to be a sports bar, more of a good restaurant, and they still offer the opportunity to watch games. So, that's good. It's clean inside and comfortable. Noise levels are average and the overall feel is "bbq joint and bar", not like a "sports bar" or a "sit down restaurant." The table/booth layout can only be described as "random", so that was a bit strange. Tables and booths in different areas facing different directions. Definitely no feng shui here, ha! Having not been there before, we weren't sure whether we order at the counter or if there is table service. Turned out, it was kind of both. You order your main items upfront at the counter and pay there and then they bring the food to you. If you aren't sure, and sit at a table, one of the nice folks that work there, will bring over a menu and explain it to you. When they bring your food to your table, which was quick, you can then order directly from them additional drinks and small items. ***Service*** Overall, the service was very good. The gals that bring your food and run the counter were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Food is served very quickly and service is clearly a priority. It seemed that the manager/bartender definitely listened to us more than he listened to the gals providing service to us when there was an issue with the TVs. Ultimately, he too was friendly and accommodating after the situation was explained, so that was good. ***Food*** The food here was very good. I posted pictures of virtually everything we ate with descriptions. We had a 10 inch St. Louis style burnt ends pizza that definitely brought me back to email was in St. Louis. It was phenomenal! It will set you back $15, but if you've missed St. Louis style pizza or have never had it, it's totally worth it! We also had toasted raviolis and a St. Louis salad. Both of them brought me back to "Rich and Charlie's" in Chesterfield, Missouri and were both fantastic. The ravs were hot and crunchy and the chunky marinara sauce was spot on. We also selected the two meat combination with sliced brisket, pulled pork, french fries and deep fried spinach, yes, really "deep fried spinach." The spinach was incredible, have never had that before and it was delicious! Fries felt like they were hand cut and while they're want to many of them, they were very good. The pulled pork was exceptional, usually it requires dousing in sauce for flavor, but this pulled pork didn't need any sauce, it was smoky and flavorful without being greasy. The brisket was very good and I was surprised because it was cut thicker and looked dryer than I typically like, but the flavor was outstanding and it didn't taste dry at all. They offer three different styles of sauce, spicy, sweet and Tennessee. None of them blew my socks off, but they were all decent and added appropriate flavor when needed. The gooey butter cake, although five dollars for a relatively small slice, was exceptionally good, definitely a treat that you don't get often outside of St. Louis. Drinks were also very good, poured well and served at appropriate temperatures, nice cold beer and generously poured mixed drinks. They don't offer happy hour or food and drink specials beyond a single food specialty each day. They offered deep fried catfish and hush puppies the day we were there, but we simply couldn't eat anymore. That would've been fun to try! ***Overall*** Frasher's was a very good place. Clean and friendly with quick service and clearly homemade foods. While the layout is a bit odd and some prices are a bit high, it was definitely worth the hour round-trip drive for us. We watched the Saint Louis blues win game four of the Stanley Cup semi finals along with other St. Louis fans while we all enjoyed True St. Louis style food in a comfortable, laid-back, friendly setting. Would I return and would I encourage you to do the same? Yes, absolutely! read more

You're attending a series finale of Game of Thrones party and feast. You want to bring something themed. You think...Unburnt. OH Unburnt Ends! But you don't want to do the smoking yourself. You have a smoker, you can smoke the sh*t out of meat, but you're feeling lazy. LOL What do you do? You scour Yelp to find a BBQ place that sells Burnt Ends. In comes Frashers. I know the location well. It used to be an old Chuey's. I used to go there. But hadn't been to try out this BBQ joint. After calling a few places, Frasher's was the best price, and could have my order of 2 lbs of burnt ends ready for the party the next day. AND it is just a stones throw from my house. Bonus. I get there and the place definitely smells like a BBQ joint. They have my order of burnt ends ready to go. I take a look at the menu board and decide to also buy 2 sandwiches to go for myself, J, and C to share for lunch. The party J and I were attending wasn't until later that afternoon. The sandwich portions were huge! There was plenty for the 3 of us to share. The sides were decent. And the burnt ends later on that afternoon, a HUGE hit at the party!! We'll be back for more BBQ. :D read more

The food is very good. Sometimes they get in things they don't usually have like this pork steak, tender and full of flavor. Love the turkey sandwich on the Texas toast with there cheese. And hands up for Pete. Great service. read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - Smoked bbq pork steak - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Frankly, I am surprised at all of the good reviews. I was really looking forward to eating here. Maybe the good reviews come from people that have never had truly exquisite barbecue. Positives Brisket had a good smoke ring to it. Portion size was generous. The staff was accommodating. Negatives. Brisket was so dry they should've put in on menu as jerky. No seasoning on the bark. mac & cheese was like eating soup. It was more watery liquidity than a proper Mac . Cost 20.00 for that I could have gotten a lot of better prepared food. read more

We were in the mood for a little 'cue and we are familiar with their sister restaurant in Scottsdale (Frasher Tavern). This is a very comfortable, rustic setting where you order from the counter. Kudos to the manager who gave us a printed menu and recommended sitting first to review our options. Love their daily specials, but a little bummed that they ran out of their Wednesday special - BBQ Beef Ribs - cuz we LOVE those. The manager explained that they also offer St. Louis style pizza - the really thin crust, so we had to try one. They let us do a half/half - pepperoni and their "Works" which is Burnt Ends, jalapenos and onions with their tangy sauce. It was really good. I'm not sure if it is a St. Louis thing, but the cheese is definitely processed cheese - which is okay once you let go of a traditional pizza expectation. We also got a Mayfair salad (similar to a Ceaser salad), which was delicious. The manager earned BIG points by bringing out the one and only beef rib still available! It was delicious, and now we know to come early on a Wednesday!! We were full, but wanted to taste some more of their 'cue, so we took home a 1/2 pound each of their brisket and their burnt ends for dinner! We were SOOO glad we did - they were delicious! They offer three sauces, sweet, tangy and spicy. We noted the spicy had a really strong rosemary flavor, which we aren't fans of... but loved the other two sauces. They also offer lots of local craft beers as well as soft drinks. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and overall great service. We will be back!! Especially cuz I want to try the raviolis and the gooey cake! read more

Nice place with a St. Louis vibe! Had the fried raviolis and burnt ends! They were great! Not a lot of places in town where you can get burnt ends!! read more

Great find! The Reuben special on Monday was so delicious, the pizza looked awesome - nice variety of beer and plenty of side options. I love the outdoor space for hanging in cooler temps, and just generally a pleasant, welcoming vibe. Not busy at all (actually practically empty) which is also a huge plus read more

We love Frasher's Smokehouse as well as his other two restaurants!! I had the Burnt End Pizza which was so good my son wanted to trade his Huge Pulled Pork Sandwich for it!! I did share! It had plenty of Burnt Ends and melting cheese which I believe is from St. Louis and just enough Jalapenos for a little kick. Best Pizza ever! He and my husband both ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich which came with a side (lots to choose from). They both had the Green Chili Mac and Cheese which was creamy and solid and delicious. The Pulled Pork was piled high and smokey and delicious. You can top it off with one of several of Frasher's sauces to your liking. Again delicious!! Of course we finished with his "best of dessert" Gooey Butter Cake!! Yum read more

I've driven by Frasher's plenty of times and didn't think it looked like anything special from the outside. As a result, I came in with pretty average expectations and am happy to say that Frasher's exceeded my expectations. We came during lunch on a Friday and the restaurant wasn't full, but did have a few customers both before and after we came in. You order your food at the register and then it's brought out to your table. The cashier talked us through the menu since it was the first time for most of us. After ordering, the food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the combo plate with ribs, burnt ends, green chili mac and cheese, and corn. The meats were really good and a large reason why Frasher's gets a 4 from me. The burnt ends are super savory, they appeared to be pork belly instead of the usual brisket but I'll take any kind of burnt end to be completely frank. The ribs were a good size, super tender and flavorful - they're definitely in the upper tier of ribs that I've had in the Valley. The sides weren't the best. The green chili mac and cheese sounded and looked good, but were very bland. I didn't really detect any flavor, let alone green chili. I'd skip this next time. The cashier told us that the corn was smoked and then cut off the cob, which intrigued me. It was pretty solid and I might get it again if I try the other sides and none of them call out to me. I ordered the corn bread as a side without paying attention to the board and seeing that it was listed as a dessert. At first I was skeptical when it came out and looked saturated with honey/syrup, but boy was I wrong. That thing really hit a spot that I didn't even know existed. The texture and taste was reminiscent of a pancake that's been sitting in butter and syrup for a while, and I freaking loved it. The corn bread will be a must order every time I'm back here. It might even be a bigger contributor to the rating than the actual BBQ. read more

We used Frasher's for our family Christmas meal. Everyone was very pleased with the selection of smoked meats and accompanying sauces. The side dishes were great! We picked up the carefully packaged items the day before and they were easy to reheat in the oven. Frasher's even supplied all the tongs, napkins, plates etc. which we were not even expecting. Kudos to your staff for having it ready on time. read more

Being from St.Louis and knowing the owner from high school, makes trips to Frasher's extra special. It's easily a 2.5 hour round trip for me, but oh so worth it! I grew up on St.Louis pizza and there are times I crave it. Thankfully Frasher's has perfected it. In fact I order one pizza to enjoy while dining in and another to go - for home "leftovers." I also love the toasted ravioli and Gooey Butter cake. My only complaint is the distance to get to Frasher's...although if he chose to open a location near me, I'd easily weigh twice as much. The staff is amazing! Always prompt, helpful, and super friendly. The blues music played indoors makes the ambience just perfect & laid back. read more

Another good choice while in PHX. I was craving ribs, like usual, and these did not disappoint. They were meaty and tender, and I splashed a little of their spicy BBQ sauce on them. I started with the St. Louis salad and added some of the green chili Mac and corn to finish off the ribs. Everything was a solid B+, the delivery came on time and the food was hot when it got here. read more

This past weekend I tried Frasher's Smokehouse and was pleasantly surprised. The ribs were tender, the pulled pork full of smoke flavor, the baked beans fell flat on distinct flavor, and the coleslaw was good. The 5 different bbq sauces provided was ehh, nothing really stood out for me. I Door Dashed my grub so no comment on service. The 4 star is due larger to the lack of distinct flavor. However, the gooey butter cake helped really land the 4 star. The cake was simply delightful! read more

Stooped in on a Saturday Night and we really appreciated the friendly cashier and service from the moment we walked in. We felt very cared for by a quick service BBQ joint! The servers really worked as a team answering questions and even offering a taste test of the meat I was deciding between. They have many homemade sauces and flavors. The owner with a big smile on his face and attentive to every tables needs. I have a gluten allergy and not all but some of the meat is gluten free and all most all of the BBQ sauces are gf also. Grateful for that! I really enjoyed the mashed potatoes- so good even got a small serving to go! The baked beans were a little different than what we were expecting, more like a chili with ground beef with it. The brisket was amazing and we enjoyed the tri tip as well, but preferred the brisket. The coleslaw was ok, it looked great but was a little watery for my taste. We will definitely be back lots of big tables for large groups, fun place for family dinner, especially if you have a Taylor Swift fan in the group! Several autographed pictures of the musician on the way to the bathroom! read more

Went for the first time and it wasn't that good. Ordered brisket which was cold when they brought it out. Green chili mac and cheese had red bell peppers in it. Chocolate dessert was served in a plastic container from like a deli. I would rather go to Dickeys . I definitely will not go back. read more

Thanks Frasher's for making our party great!!! read more

Service was great. The food was so yummy! Pulled pork, tri tip, burnt ends, and robs were all tender and with their spicy bbq sauce - yum! Their sides were all great.

Order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. Shared the 1/2 beef brisket, 1/2 lb pulled pork, baby back ribs, Corn and jalapeño mac and cheese. The brisket is good, but does not stand out, the pulled pork is a better choice and the baby back ribs are a keeper. There are alot of great bbq places in Phoenix and this is not one of them. Would rather spend my money at a couple other bbq places read more

Came in this weekend and the food has changed since I was last in back in December. The pork steak is different, more of a brisket now, the pizza was super saucy and the flavor just wasn't the St. Louis style that they have served for years and the butter cake is now more of a custard and not the traditional St. Louis style. Might give it another try in a few months, maybe just an off day but disappointed this time around. read more

My first experience with Frasher's smokehouse was at the bridal show earlier this year when I had a taste of their butter cake. It left such an imprint on me that I knew my path would cross again with this deliciousness. My husband and I had originally had the big wedding planned for this year but due to covid we had to postpone it but we still wanted to sign our marriage license and eat some amazing food. I sent out an email to Frasher's asking about catering and they invited us in for a tasting. I literally cannot sing enough praises about their food, Pete the manager and George the owner. Thank you for treating us like family during the tasting and providing such delicious food for our wedding. Our guests were all blown away and couldn't stop talking about it. read more

Stopped by in today for the first time. I loved the ambiance and hidden gem feeling. It felt like an old town smoke house which is great. The food was exceptional. Absolutely delicious in every sense. Bar tender was super kind. If the margaritas weren't $15 would be there way more often! read more

I stopped by during COVID for take out. The owner (May be manager) was very nice and helpful. I hope they are not impacted a lot by COVID. The meats and the sides were great, and it's also a great value. I do like my brisket a bit more burnt and wet, but that's a matter of taste. I can only imagine how great these meats taste fresh on the table, not after being carried out in a box and consumed after. read more

Just ate lunch here and shocked that the place wasn't packed because the food is Incredibly delicious. I had the rib and brisket platter with sides of smoked corn and green chili Mac and Cheese. The ribs were fresh, fall off the bone and very well flavored. Some of the best I've ever had. The brisket was also perfectly seasoned and smoked but, more importantly, well trimmed of fat. The Mac was a little overdone (soggy) but still tasty. The corn was good but could use some salt. Will be back! read more

In town for vacation and had Frasher's Smokehouse as a must do on our list. Created a wonderful memory from our time in Phoenix. Order at the counter as you come in, grab a drink and find a seat. They will bring your order to your table. The staff is very helpful with suggestions. We decided on a 3 meat platter including Burnt Ends, Pulled Pork, and Brisket with Baked Beans and Cornbread. The portion was huge! But, let me tell you, there was nothing left at the end of our meal! So good. The Burnt Ends were amazing, lovely caramelized bits of goodness. The Pulled Pork was juicy and so tender as was the Brisket. Honestly could not pick a favorite out of the bunch. We tried different sauces (all good), but none of these meats really needed anything extra. The beans were fantastic with big pieces of bacon throughout, wow! We just had iced teas, however they do offer a full bar. There were also watermelon slices available over by the sauces. Be sure to check out the walls for a great education in all things BBQ. George, the owner, was great. So friendly, chatting with the guests and even delivering orders to the tables, so nice! Seems like the area is getting a lot of new places popping up. Frasher's has been here for quite awhile - because they've been doing it right here for years. Make sure to check them out, you'll be so glad you did!! We'll be back next time we're in town. read more

Overall good, I'll be back. $40 for 2 med brisket platters, left pretty full and happy. read more

We don't have a lot of good barbecue places in the valley that really deliver but this is probably in the top three. I tried that four meat platter very delicious and they have a variety of sauces From spicey to sweet.

They also have butter cake for dessert and a full bar great choice in the valley for barbecue! Would definitely go back. read more
