Proven cheese pizza, toasted ravioli, St. Louis salad
Carrie G.

'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!

Mac n cheese

Holy cow! Delicious! The ribs r perfection. The mac n cheese is killer. Baked beans are phenomenal. Yea, will be returning. Happy family dinner tonight! Cool atmosphere and good vibes here. Portion sizes r spot on for the price and love they create here!

Smoke ring of love

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...

Brisket
Elaine R.

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.

Sausage, Cheese, & Veggie Pizza
Laura M.

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.

Tried this place on are recommendation. Good call! Tried the ribs, brisket and turkey. All were on point with good smoke flavor. The turkey was juicy and tender. The sides of beans & mac n cheese were also flavorful. We will return.

Second time here and just love it. The food and service are top notch!! The meats are off the charts delicious and the sides are fabulous!

pulled pork
Mike A.

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.

2 meat platter
Raquel A.

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.

Gumbo and corn bread
Vicente M.

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.

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!

Chelsea's Kitchen is one of those places that really captures what makes dining in Arizona so…read moreenjoyable. The outdoor patio is beautiful, with string lights, a brick fireplace, and surrounding trees that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's a fantastic setting for dinner, especially when the weather is nice. We had quite the spread, including the Chicken Nachitos, Green Chile Cornbread, LGO Short Rib Tacos, Ribeye Tacos, and Green Chile Burger. The nachitos were piled high with chicken, melted cheese, guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, and jalapeños. Although they're no longer listed on the current menu, I wanted to include them because they were part of our experience. I actually appreciate how Chelsea's Kitchen changes its menu over time, giving guests something different to look forward to while keeping some familiar favorites. The Green Chile Burger was another standout in presentation, featuring roasted green chiles and melted cheddar, with macaroni and cheese on the side. The short ribs and grilled ribeye came with colorful accompaniments, including guacamole, pico de gallo, and a kale salad. The Green Chile Cornbread was also beautifully presented in a small skillet with a golden crust and butter on the side. We also tried the Brussels Sprout Salad with manchego, almonds, dried fruit, and bacon, which offered a nice contrast to the heartier dishes. The cocktails were thoughtfully presented, and we finished the evening with key lime pie and a refreshing sorbet. Beyond the food, the patio is what makes Chelsea's Kitchen particularly memorable. Between the fireplace, warm lighting, and lively but comfortable atmosphere, it's the kind of place where you can easily spend an entire evening catching up with friends or family. The service here is always amazing and feels like a concierge level service. Overall, Chelsea's Kitchen offers a wonderful combination of Southwestern-inspired dishes, generous portions, and a beautiful outdoor dining experience. I especially appreciate a restaurant that continues evolving its menu rather than keeping everything the same year after year. Definitely a place worth revisiting to see what's new!

Our experience was nothing short of perfect! The food was AMAZING! We ordered the Eggs Benedict & a bottle of champagne with a sidecar of OJ. If the hollandaise sauce is not scratch-made, they have us fooled. The building, decor & garden patio 's kitchen is is absolutely beautiful. The staff was very attentive and kind. OH!!! and don't leave w/o grabbing a sweet bite size sea salted chocolate chip cookie on your way out the door (complementary) Class act imo! It's a 40 mile round trek for us, but we will definitely be back! Cheers Chelsea's owner/staff! Thank for a great experience!

Had a very nice meal at Beginners Luck in Old Town Scottsdale. I have been looking for a solid go…read moreto place in Old Town for a while. Still mourning the loss of Bandera. Beginners Luck is just that kind of place. Food 4.5/5 - I ordered the Crab and Shrimp Roll with fries. It was excellent and quite a portion. More than enough for a second meal. Loaded with shrimp and crab. I wasn't expecting a crab and shrimp salad but rather a mix of the two warm and buttered in the roll but it was very tasty as served. The only part that was a little off was the burned in brand on the roll the cold salad was served in. The charred flavor with the salad was a little off putting. I just pinched off the burnt bits from the bread. Excellent fries! Service 4/5 - I sat at the bar. Bartender was nice, offered regular menu and restaurant week menu as well. Meal was brought by manager, fries were still piping hot. Bartender and manager checked back to make sure meal was to my liking. Ambiance 5/5 - Cute place. A lot of nice outdoor seating and seating inside but a bit less. All in all a great place with a nice complement of offerings! I will return. If only they had a fly through with rotisserie chicken to go, I would never think of Bandera again.

Cruising along historic Old Town and it was hot, we were tired and needed a reprieve from the heat…read moreso we ducked in to Beginner's Luck. We were seated inside quickly - it was a slow afternoon. Signs on the door let you know they have A/C however they left the front door propped open so it wasn't that cool inside. We each had a cocktail and they were pretty good - him a Painkiller on Main (he said it was good) and I had Ranch Water Paloma but asked them to mix tequila and mezcal rather than have me choose one over the other. Quite tasty! We just did apps: Fondue Blanc served with linguisa, pretzel bread and roasted cauliflower. The fondue was especially delicious with the cauliflower. We also had pimento cheese served with potato chips and chicharrones. I've only ever tasted grocery store made pimento cheese and was not a fan but when I tasted the pimento cheese at Beginner's Luck, I instantly became enamored. Totally enjoyed it with the chips. I recommend stopping in for a bite when wandering Old Town.

She further gave us advice on what they are known for, which is pizza and their rotisserie chicken. We ordered the Teuffle cheese bread to start. OMG YUM YUM YUM! We decided to share our entrees. So we ordered the Aviator and black truffle mushroom pizza, a well as the Spicy rigatoni pasta. Holy cows... hold da brakes.... it was all so good. Honestly, everything we experienced today was so excellent from the service to the ambiance to the food. Holy moly, definitely coming back again! Totally recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent service and good quality food. Only thing that could make it better is to give a pie serving utensil to serve the pizza slices on the bread items, but really that ain't going keep me back from returning!

I really love the aesthetic of this place. First of all it's tucked on the back corner of a strip mall. You wouldn't know it was care without looking, even though there is a small patio that wraps around. The dining room is kind of a great mixture that stuff it's very industrial working with lots of concrete with open duct work, but it also has a lovely tufted Bank at and crystal chandeliers. The perfect balance and I love it. You can see into the kitchen which I also like. Our server was delightful, and I loved the attentiveness, like making sure to move the curtains when the light was hitting in an odd way. I started with a delicious drink that I think was called Mezcal Orange Fizz. It was yummy! For the first course I chose the Salmon Crudo. It had a citrus dressing and crispy rice chip. It was absolutely delicious, but very tiny. I could have licked the plate because the dressing was so yummy. My friend had the gazpacho, which she said was very good With main course I chose the Garlic-Lemon Scallops and Corn. It was four delicious scallops on polenta garnished with popcorn. What a cool surprise! It was really good! My friend had the short ribs which she seemed to like as well. For dessert, we both chose the key lime tart. It was a little bit of heaven on a plate! I really enjoyed it. The portion sizes were appropriate - - what we probably should be eating rather than the huge portions we normally get. I was able to finish everything, and I left full but not stuffed. I did remove a star because I did not like that they charged a gratuity on a check for just one person. I normally tip a minimum of 25%, but they added 18%. I just left it. I understand the need to include the gratuity with a larger party (somehow the server always seems to get the short end on those larger parties). I don't know if that's a normal thing, or a restaurant week thing because, to be honest, hubby always pays the bill. I do recommend this hidden gem of a place. It has a lot going for it and I've always enjoyed my visits here.
