The food was very good. Shame the food came out before the drinks. The staff was friendly. Nice decor.

The purest definition of customer service. I placed an order via GrubHub that was delivered to the wrong address. I was able to finally speak to GrubHub (after waiting on hold for 45 minutes) and the cancelled the order, refunding my money. The owner, George Frasher, called me personally after he was advised by GrubHub and offered to make a new order and drive it to me. Their food is absolutely amazing but this was above and beyond. I would give more stars if it were possible. Kudos, customer for life. read more

Our party of 3 went to dinner at Frasher's last night. It smelled so good when we walked in and I felt even hungrier since I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. I want to say we waited maybe 30 minutes for the server to take both our drink and food order. We maybe waited another 30-45 minutes for our drinks and food. I didn't think the sides were very good, and one of our party members complained that he remembered when the place sold bigger, better ribs for less. I did think the ribs and BBQ sauce tasted very good, but I didn't think our bill at the end of the night was worth the overall quality of the food and experience combined, especially since we were at the restaurant for a little over 2 hours with all the waiting. read more

TL:DR - The STL menu just doesn't quite hit the spot. All the required elements/ingredients are there, but it's a poor recreation. Large pizza, ravs, and gooey butter will run you about $50. Difficult to justify when you can get actual imo's shipped for just a little more than that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's be honest, you're really coming here for the STL stuff (i.e., the pizza, the toasted ravs, and the gooey butter cake) cause there are plenty of other bbq joints. But I will just say up front, you'll be disappointed. Born and raised in STL, was really hoping this would be a good spot. While everything has the required components of each item (i.e., the pizza has provel, the raviolis are fried, and the gooey butter is sweet), but there all just lacking SOMETHING that really make it delicious. The pizza for example, the sauce isn't as sweet as imo's, the cheese just isn't the right type of gooey. The ravs are a soggy fry, like a soggy mcdonald's fry vs. a real thick crisp fry. The gooey butter was good, but was too sweet and too gooey to the point it was almost soggy. Some of the best gooey butter to me has a great crust that really gives gooey butter cake some form (Kaldi's in STL is amazing). The kicker really is that a pizza, wings, and gooey butter costs nearly $50. If it was good, $50 would be worth it as a treat here and there, but when you can get 4 med imo's pizza shipped via Goldbelly for about $70, it's really hard to justify. Aside from the food, the interior reminds me a lot of midwestern bbq joints. Picnic tables every where and an order counter. No frills and friendly service. read more

Food was flavorful. The desserts were top notch though. BBQ was dry, but it was also takeout, so that could have been the issue. I will try again and hit their happy hour that looked like a good time. read more

My boyfriend had driven by this restaurant and suggested that we try it. So glad we did. Nice informal spot where you simply order upfront and find a table and they bring the food to your table. They have a table with three different sauces for your meat.. Spicy, Tennessee Sweet and Sweet. I didn't try the spicy but my favorite was the Tennessee Sweet. They offer meats as as a sandwich or platter. I opted for the smoked turkey with the house salad and corn. Service was friendly and fast. I especially loved the smoked turkey.. with or without BBQ sauce, it tasted great. Corn was fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend this place. Actually shocked it wasn't more people in this establishment! read more

Not very good, my pizza was missing provel cheese and that was the only reason I ordered from them...the provel cheese!

The smoked brisket was not as exciting as we had hoped for. It was a tender but a little bland, maybe too lean for our tastes. We also ordered several pounds of ribs for our party of three and let me tell you they were amazing! Huge rIbs with a ton of meat on them and the full flavor of the smoked meat was too die for. Simply put, this is a five star review based on the ribs alone, they were just that good! We had fries, corn and beans for sides. The fries were okay, the corn was very good but not on the cob as I would have expected. The beans were so much more than we expected, with a nice zip to them and generous chunks of meat. For dessert we had a couple of slices of the butter cream pie and wow! Just wow! It was like Joes Real BBQ lemon chess cake good; worth the trip in and of itself. We wanted burnt ends but were told they sell out of them quickly (we showed up at 5:00) so I guess that is the case, but when the owner found out we drove up from Florence he said to give him a call next time and he would set some aside for us. All of the staff were very nice and didn't mind our hanging out on the patio for two hours after we ate as we caught up with our friend from out of town. Also worth noting is that we were there on a Friday night, so we were so worried about noise and a wait but it wasn't a concern as they were never crazy busy. They had steady business throughout the evening, but were never overly crowded which was a pleasant surprise for us. I think they do a ton of takeout business so no worrries about them closing their doors, especially as yummy as the food was. The restaurant was also immaculate. So yeah, I will defiantly be back. read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - Love me some BBQ! - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Okay, so you have to order at the counter and sit at picnic tables (ish) but this place rocks! Happy hour includes $3 well. Cheap beer, wine, well and a couple of apps. Pound of wings, buffalo. Not hot buffalo, but good sized wings (9) and amazing flavor and texture. St Louis style pizza was quite impressive for a barbecue joint. Plan on creamy cheese on top and pepperoni under. Square cut. Delicious. Not sure this is mozzarella but delicious anyway. St Louis salad included many!! artichoke hearts, romaine, cheese, red onions and a Parmesan vinaigrette, yum! Smoked corn side was really good and pretty unusual for bbq restaurant considering how easy it would be for them all to make this side dish. Brisket dry, but sauce anyone? Spicy, sweet or tangy, they give you plenty of each. I'm a fan of spicy. Service is sweet and appreciative. Tip the gals well, they are working cheap. Our party of seven with some drinks got away for $154 with tip. It ain't fancy, but IT'S GOOD!!! Sorry no pics, we were starving! read more

Warning prior to ordering turkey dinner from here read below!!! We had ordered one of their turkey dinners that cost us almost 300$ with everything and we paid for a 23lb turkey to only get a 13lb turkey on pick up. I know they lose weight after cooking but not 10lbs. Only for the "manager" to say ya it will feed your party. That's not the issue it's what we paid for. Now we have to go out and buy more on top of our original order to feed everyone. read more

Frasher's Smokehouse - The large turkey that is supposed to be 22-24lbs. - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was looking for a BBQ place while in town and thanks to Yelp and am glad this BBQ place came up. First of all, the young lady working the cashier and the manager were just so darn nice. They made me feel welcome, even as an out of towner. I ordered the 4 meat combination and was thrilled to be able to try 4 different types of meat. I loved the turkey as it tasted like no other turkey I had...moist and every bite had a great smoked flavor. I wish I was around during Thanksgiving. I would go here! The brisket, ribs and tri-tip were also great tasting, melt in your mouth. You can eat these without any of the sauces they provide and still be happy, but when they offer great sauces that our spicy, sweet or a combo, you can't beat it. I even dipped my french fries in them. All in all, a outstanding, tasty BBQ place with friendly people working there. I can't wait to be back! read more

Frasher's is the best! I am originally from St. Louis & they have a great selection of STL style BBQ, toasted raviolis, & pizza!! I would recommend getting the 2 Meat Combination Platter so you can try two different kinds of meat! The Burnt Ends are super yummy!!! It also comes with three different sauces to try! The St. Louis Salad is delicious as well! A great starter! If you have not tried Toasted Ravioli I highly recommend trying them here!!!! The best!!! read more

If you are from St. Louis and miss the STL style pizza, this pace has you cover. This is our second time coming and the pizza is delicious, reminds us of home for sure. The BBQ is great and they have a good selection of sauces. Everything is so amazing & the staff is super nice and helpful. read more

Ok, this place is so close to me but I never checked it out. I remember the days of the steakhouse on Scottsdale Rd. Yes..Yes I just dated myself. Anyways I had a craving for BBQ so I dropped in. I got there in just in time before they closed. I ordered two 2 meat combos for takeout. I got brisket and pulled pork. Each combo comes with two sides. I choose coleslaw + green chilli mac n cheese. The other combo I got smoked turkey and ribs. Sides: Green Chilli Mac + Baked Beans The guy behind the counter thru in FREE DRINKS & cornbread!! I have to admit the brisket was a bit dry, but happy it wasn't fatty pieces like most places I have tried. The pulled pork was smokey and not bad. Thier spicy bbq sauce is ok. I was really disappointed on the Green Chilli Mac. I would of thought it be more spicy. The coleslaw I wasn't impressed with either every bland. Had an odd after taste and tangy. The smoked turkey was really good. The ribs I've had better, but they were fast. Now the best part was only really their baked beans and the FREE cornbread. Stuff was amazingly delicious. I can't say I would go back just to try the pizza. read more

Best burnt tips I've ever eaten! I don't even usually love bbq, but it was so tender and flavorful. Didn't just taste like "burnt".

I'm happy to say that the high quality ribs this place is known for are BACK! When I was here in October I was very disappointed in the taste and quality of the ribs, but now, I am DELIGHTED to say the ribs were delicious. Proper amount of rub. Nice bark and smoke ring. DELICIOUS. The smoked corn was also much better than usual (but it is corn season throughout the country so that helps). Also, if you dine in, they've remodeled and the place it's much more inviting. It'll really be nice once the weather improves and they can use the patio/yard on the side. Good job. You're back in my rotation. read more

Most annoying music. Took my 92 year old father there for lunch. Restaurant playing heavy metal music very loudly. Asked server to lower music and she said they typically play blues but employees changed the music. She changed it to blues for a few songs and then employee changed it back to hard Rock. Food is way over priced for the adult order that is equivalent to a kids meal servings. Well needless to say to say won't be going back. read more

Amazing amazing amazing burn ends one of my favorite things there's smoked turkey, beef, ribs, gooey butter cake fantastic

Back for more! When I'm in Phoenix I usually make plans for at least one meal here. This trip, I went twice! Tri-tip continues to be good. My second visit had me trying the Turkey. The Baked Beans are still the best ! I'm using my stars to 5 as there has been some redesign of the seating, and the Staff is absolutely wonderful! read more

Phenomenal!! If you're looking for one-of-a-kind, homemade, food that rivals your grandma's best Sunday dinner, this is the place to go. Everything was delicious. The staff provided great recommendations, they were extremely fast, and beyond friendly. Can't say enough good things about the staff. Everything from the food, to the ambiance and vibe was on the money. This place is not only a must try, it's a destination worth going out of your way. The gooey cake is worth a trip in its self. Also, I learned from the staff that this restaurant is 1 of 3 owned and operated by the same guy. (See below) can't wait to try the other two. 1. Mrs. Chicken 2. Frashers Tavern. This place will not disappoint and comes highly recommended from my end! read more

Very friendly staff BBQ not very good. Thought I would stop by for some Q. Just moved here from Texas. Wanted brisket, and was hoping for at least descent brisket. Well, I was wrong!!! Got the sliced beef sandwich and Mac and cheese with green chilies and a drink. They said they would add their 3 BBQ sauces. Sweet, tangy and Carolina. Sweet was like candy, tangy was like sweet with a little heat and Carolina was horrible. The brisket was a little moist at least. Very faint smoke line. No bark and bland as boiled roast beef. Absolutely no flavor or smoke taste at all. Bun was not bad. Told manager and they brought me burnt ends. That was a mistake. Absolutely the worst that I have ever had. Like limp beef and again not like real Kansas City burnt ends. No flavor and soggy. Very sad, as I really wanted to like this place. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and Spivey but very bland cheese. Horrible. The best part was the bun. Even the fountain drinks were very weak. All in all a horrible experience, but the young woman behind counter was friendly but surprised that I did not like my food. Bathroom was not clean and smelled. Will not go back. The manager said they had a smoker, I believe him but not sure if the meat made it in there. I would give 1 star but they were nice and think they tried but fell way short. read more

My husband and I are Friday dinner regulars at this terrific smokehouse. The ribs are meaty and delicious, and we love the baked beans. The coleslaw is light and fresh, there's an extensive, inexpensive beer selection, and the bartender is a cocktail wizard. Always friendly fast service and a relaxing laid back atmosphere. We live only a mile away. Lucky us! read more

probably the best bbq I've ever had. service is exceptional as well! Definitely the best baked beans I've ever had.

The bbq is excellent. The staff is super friendly. You have to come and enjoy this place.

Excellent BBQ. The best in Phoenix especially their brisket! Hard to decide what I want when I visit. Burnt ends so tasty. Tri tip tender and yummy. Pulled pork delicious. Everything so good. Salads generous, tasty & sweet browned beans full of meat, mac and cheese creamy. I have had BBQ all over the country and Frasher's is by far the best. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bartender Chris makes a great drink and is truly charming. Happy hour offers great value. read more

If you love BBQ, you'll love Frasher's and if you don't like BBQ, you'll learn to love it at Frasher's. Meats are perfectly cooked and you get a choice of sauces to slather them in: Texas style which adds a hint of hot, St. Louis style which adds sweetness and Tennessee style which adds a bit of tangy goodness. I myself prefer the meats naked, no sauce needed served with a list of sides. I had the garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli which was a perfect combination. my husband had the ribs with the St, Louis salad and Mac 'n' Cheese which added a bit of heat. As for the service, servers are friendly and bartender Chris was a delight. We even got him to sing us a song. My mojito wasn't too sweet and so refreshing which was a pleasant welcome from hot and dry Phoenix weather. Thank you to George the owner who knows how to entertain fellow midwestern natives. read more

A friend and I were driving by and he turned around because the smell was incredible. We ordered a few drinks that took awhile to get, and we were sitting at the bar. We ordered wings, garlic mashed potatoes and the green chili mac n cheese. The wings flavoring was okay, the mashed potatoes were instant with an attempt to fix them up and the mac n cheese was okay. My big problem is the prices for instant potatoes and things being served in a Styrofoam cup. For the price I feel things should be served in real bowls. read more

I was a little disappointed with the burnt and brisket sandwich. It was chopped up meat squashed in between 2 bread that's it. I've had much better brisket sandwich. Make it a sandwich with with condiments onions pickles Mayo the works it would have been a lot better. Enjoyed the coleslaw and the Mac and cheese. read more

One star is a generous offering to this place, the garlic mashed potatoes. I'm pretty sure are instant mashed potatoes which I'm OK with but I'm not going to pay money for them when I could get a pouch of them at the store for $.69 the pulled pork sandwich came with just a big hunk of gristle And it was $50 for two people to eat. I'm not against paying money for good food. I am against paying money for food I could buy at the grocery store and boil water and make myself. read more

Very nice people here! Food is amazing. Particularly the pizza. Can't beat it. Will definitely be returning!

Ordered 2 brisket sandwiches and 3 sides. The brisket was not edible. It was in between no flavor and almost that sour spoiled too old taste. My friend and I both gave the meat a second bite and both spit it out, no good something was off. Corn and garlic mashed were pretty good and had lots of flavor. The baked beans weren't to my personal likings but no quality control complaints there. A female just got into work and was running around and who I would guess is the owner or manager was busy talking with people at the bar area. I didn't want to interrupt so I said I would just call back. Now calling back disappointed I want to see if they'll offer me a refund on the sandwiches that weren't hardly touched or what. Instead I got put on the phone with manager Chris who started yelling at me and denying everything I said. Calling me cheap and that they never have complaints and it's fresh etc. it simply was the worst try at BBQ I've ever experienced and I have been a chef for half my professional career, I'm very familiar with food, restaurants etc. Now I'm awaiting a call from the GM because this place is a joke. Such a disappointment, their building is amazing, I expected some mouth watering bbq not something I gag and spit out. I would seek some professional bbq consulting or just keeping doing your thing catering to snowbirds with no taste buds, cus your meat was no good and it should be the star of the place. read more

This is such a great place! George Frasher wants to help put Phoenix on the map as a BBQ mecca. The meats are served plain and you can choose amongst three different types of sauces. This makes the BBQ experience more personalized and less messy! I had chicken and my friend had ribs. Don't expect fall off the bone...George says that's a sign they're overcooked! Mac and cheese was tasty as was the cole slaw. Oooey Gooey Butter Cake (George's mom's recipe) is like the top part of a frosted bundt cake. And Moscow Mule was great and came in a copper mug which many restaurants don't have! Worth noting: they fry their spinach so it's like crispy spinach chips - delish! When you say BBQ that can mean a lot of different styles, so check out the maps and look at all the different regional variations. Highly recommended! I heard George Frasher speak at the AZ Central Food and Wine Experience. I thought his sincerity and pure love of cooking and BBQ was very endearing. I had also tasted the food at the event so I KNEW it would be good! read more

I live too close to this place to not go more often. I have never been disappointed. The pulled pork sandwich has all the right flavors. The ribs are exactly when you are looking for in terms of smokey flavor and falling off the bone. The sides are no after thought to them here which is key to a good meal. The beans, mac and cheese and coleslaw all were great. I can not wait to go back! read more

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