Stumbled across this gem while visiting Scottsdale for Spring Training. I saw the reviews coming…read moreout the airport and was stunned at the reviews. We got our rental car and drove right over. Because we were hungry we decided not to wait in the line but reschedule to go back on Friday. I looked more at the reviews and Tik Tok's and saw this place was legit and the beef rib was to die for. Comes Friday, we get there at 10:15 am right before the line built up. We spoke with one of the employees for while regarding what to order and about Spring Training while we were in line. As we got in, you order at the counter and pick what you want. The employees are cutting up the food in front of you and weighing it. The inside area has limited seating and it's very narrow. Outside theres a good amount of seating but filled up right away. I ordered the beef rib for my dad and I to share, a plate for myself with brisket and turkey. I got cole slaw and mac sald on the side, both were kind've whatever for me. The turkey honestly is a sleeper pick, it was delicious and more flavorful that I thought. Brisket was mouthwatering and so tender but that beef rib lived to the hype. It fell off the bone and had the perfect fattiness to tender ratio. We enjoyed the outside and feasted but it's quite expensive like all BBQ. The quality was fresh and I would definitely recommend if you are in the area. I don't eat BBQ a lot so I don't have a huge sample size for whats good or not but I loved it!

We used Marcus at Gibson's Smokehouse for our wedding in Strawberry, AZ, and the food was…read moreabsolutely delicious. We had about 135 guests, and everyone was raving about how good everything tasted. Working with Marcus was super easy from the start. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and he was always accommodating whenever we needed to make changes to the quotes or menu. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely great to work with. He provided the charcuterie boards for our cocktail hour, which were a huge hit, and then served BBQ for dinner. The buffet-style setup worked perfectly, and the line moved quickly. We never ran out of food, and guests kept coming up to us throughout the night to tell us how amazing everything was. They handled all the setup and even brought their trailer on-site, smoking and cooking right there at the venue which was so cool to see and added to the whole experience. On top of all that, Marcus is super affordable, especially considering that the quality of the food is truly exceptional. You get incredible value for what you pay. We absolutely loved working with Marcus and would definitely use Gibson's Smokehouse again. Highly recommend for any wedding or event!- Megan & Cierra

This food truck was located at the Korn, Gojira, and Spirit Box concert at Talking Stick Resort…read moreAmphitheater this past week. For sides, they were $4 for what appeared to be 8oz cups which seemed a little pricey but if homemade it's worth the price point. Both my cousin and I thought the coleslaw was an odd flavor like there was either red apple or radish in there, but we couldn't quite figure it out. A skip for me if I visit this truck again. As for the potato salad, it was fairly decent though it had large pieces of potato skins which I personally do not care for in my potato salad. Since we didn't get any actual food as I stick to a vegetarian diet mostly, I'll give it a 4 star for the sides. Overall, the service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere is what you make of where a food truck is parked. The condiment/utensils available on the ledge do make it easier for grab-and-go.

With our reservation we were seated right away and greeted by our waitress, whose name I…read moreunfortunately didn't catch, but she was so awesome + helpful with taking our orders and giving her recommendations. There wasn't a big wait time for the food at all! Soon after we arrived, the corn bread was served (yummy but it fell apart easily), shortly followed by our spinach queso appetizer (very yummy), and not too long after that, our main course arrived (SUPER yummy).We ordered the Whole Hog Heaven, which was definitely worth its price for our family of 4 -- It came with your choice of 2 ribs/2 meats/3 sides. We ended up packing up the leftovers, aka a lil over half of the platter that was left... we made it our lunch/dinner for the following day lol. The waitress also offered complimentary warm/fresh donuts after we finished our meal, and the donuts were AMAZING. Kinda had the taste and texture of a churro. We were here for Easter Sunday, so I thought it was cute to see a little festivity with the egg and bunny decoration to our drinks (check my image). The vibe in here was pretty sociable, I would overall def recommend this place for any mini group gathering :) One small thing I will say is that the Brussel sprouts were a bit overly flavored or saucy

I would have commented to the Manager on duty if one has been visible. I have been to other locations of BobbyQ's and had a great experience. It's just a shame the employee's and management at this location don't care. Even though this location is only 3.5 miles from my house. I doubt I will be back. It might be a while, but will go to the 27th ave location. Good luck with this location You might want to fix your service challenges or you might go the way of Zen Burger.

I wanted to come back and update my previous review because I finally made it back to The Thumb BBQ…read moreand tried the ribs, and they were fantastic. What impressed me just as much, though, was the customer service. After my last review, the owner reached out to me almost immediately, took the time to review the interaction, and genuinely wanted to make things right. I really appreciated the level of accountability and commitment to customer experience. Great food is important, but strong leadership and a true commitment to service matter too, and The Thumb clearly values both. Highly recommend.

This what we ordered: Brisket Hot links Pork Belly Pork Ribs BBQ Beans Collard Greens BBQ Spaghetti Hot Water Cornbread Cedar Lane Lemonade Everything was flavored nicely. If I had to omit one item from our order it would be the beans. My favorite was the BBQ Spaghetti, collard greens and the Hot water cornbread. I thought the beans would have a bit more flavor, but I've never been a bean kind of gal. You will need to try it for yourself! The Hot water Cornbread was great. The texture was a little gritty, but still yummy. The shape is what caught me by surprise. It was round and flat almost like a pancake. The service was outstanding. Friendly and hardworking. The food came out in good time. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Has a warm but rustic vibe. I would most definitely revisit this spot whenever in the area.

On the Southside of Phoenix, the main thoroughfare being Broadway, you are in the black side of…read moretown. Like many of our cities, Phoenix legislated racial housing covenants. The whites stayed north because local industry made real estate in the southside less desirable. Slaughterhouses and rendering factories gave south Phoenix a black cowboy population. Sure, there are cowboy groups in California - West Oakland and Compton - but these guys are all LARPing. That is, they're playing the part. Weekend warriors. The afro-vaqueros of Phoenix are dyed in the wool, real deal westerners. So anyway, it's in this milleu you find AT JL BBQ. Alongside said cowpoke, you may, as I did, dine next to a couple 304s. It's an active neighborhood, what can you say? Neither here nor there, but the ephemera that adorns the walls is different than what you might find at a soul food place. It's decidedly more American as such. Speaking of the signage: one of them reminds you that bbq is not fast food and that a patient temperament is of the utmost. Yet, the smoker ain't going. The Cue been cooked. As for the sides, no one does greens and Mac n cheese a la minute. So if everything is prepared, why do I have to wait? I kid. I jest. The girl behind the counter was all by herself. Gave great recommendations. And even gifted me a bottle of water On this visit, brisket was sold out. Late afternoon: makes sense. They had pulled pork. Bites of the smokerd rendered fat therein had the effect of rocket fuel. Pork belly was even porkier than the aforementioned shredded butt. Ribs pretty good too. Mac: ultra cheesy. Pot liquor from the collard greens came in clutch for hydrating the more dry pieces of pork.

I've been coming here for years and I think three stars (or what Yelp would call "OK") is the…read moreperfect rating. Because everything is OK, it's "not bad" if you're hungry and you need to get dinner without spending a ton. The main issue is that the food is not hot by the time you get to eat it, and the second is that it's dried out and overcooked about 50% of the time. I'm not a huge fan of really sweet BBQ sauce and I understand that most of the people that come here probably slather a ton of BBQ sauce on the meat, but meat should taste good on its own first. Too often it is too dry - I had the pulled pork Wed and the Brisket Thurs, I've had just about everything on their menu. The only meat that's consistently tasty is the hot links. Why is it often dry? I don't know. Overcooked? Left out too long? I'm not a BBQ expert so I can't explain. But I can address the reason that it's cold: I've watched them pretty carefully, and while the staff is always very nice, the issue is that when you order the specific meat you want, especially if it's chopped brisket, i.e. if it's not sitting right up front at their assembly counter, they have to shout out to another guy who comes along and gets your chopped brisket meat ready for you. He chops it up, puts it out in the open air, while the first person moves your tray along the assembly line getting other things like coleslaw broccoli beans etc. -- then you get rung up and they offer you a drink, by the time all that happens, you pay, tip, etc, your meat has probably been sitting 3 to 5 minutes and by the time you get your drink filled up and your silverware and you get situated at your seat -- all of your food is cold. The metal trays are apparently not heated, and I'm not sure if that's part of the problem either, but it just reminds me of why, at almost every full service restaurant, as soon as they set the plate down in front of you, the first thing they always tell you is...(go ahead and guess)... "be careful the plate is very hot". That is important. So if they could somehow figure out a way to make the meat consistent and a little bit less dry, and if they could figure out how to deliver the meat to you while it's still hot, (heat the metal tray? cover it after it's assembled? a microwave at every table?) I would give five stars.
