Normally this wouldn't be my type of establishment to come to with a sign greeting you upon entering that says "all of our meat comes naked." I overlook this statement as their pulled pork is amazing and bbq choices are top notch. This place is located right near the Deer Valley airport in a boring business center, but when you serve great food it really doesn't matter where your location is. Expect a line to get into the place during peak times as many others know that their bbq is awesome. Don't let the line deter you as you won't be disappointed. My addiction of choice is the pulled pork sandwich topped with a delicious smokey & tangy bbq sauce, sides of waffle fries and mac & cheese. Follow this order and you will thank me later! read more

If you're into meat plates, they've got them. If you're into a sanitary eating experience, I would advise against this place. I saw a lady cleaning the floor with gloves on, and then pop up and tear meat in a tray with the same gloves on and serve it right up. Again, pretty good meat platters, but I'm genuinely surprised I've never gotten sick. read more

Came to Pork on a Fork to feed a BBQ craving - the Yelp reviews were incredible, so our expectations were high. I had the pulled pork sandwich with beans and sweet potato fries. There were also several sauces on the table to choose from, since the meat comes dry and without any sauce. Overall, I liked the pork, but having it soaked in the sauce initially would have probably tasted much better! Overall, the food was decent, but I'm taking off two stars for the inside of the place. This restaurant and the seating area seemed very unclean to me, and I felt grimey even being in there. A place can be casual and clean at the same time! read more

We enjoyed really good barbecue today. Hubby said that it made his top ten. Shared ribs and brisket and Mac n' Cheese, Potato Salad, Mac Salad and Coleslaw. 3 choices of sauce: Hot, Smokey and Sweet. I was not happy that when cutting my brisket the server got to the crusty heel, paused knowing that he shouldn't serve the piece but did so anyway. And yes I did ask for and receive a new portion. Dine in is located in what would be the warehouse and shop of this industrial suite and this is where I knock off stars. Not because of the location but because of the "amenities". Long tables with dried on sauce, filthy dispensers for plastic forks and knives, a sloppy, disgusting garbage can, and one smelly bathroom. I think the owners need to spend some time acting like they are customers so that they can realize our experience. Your hands are sticky with sauce and your only option is to wait for the one bathroom to clear, get knocked in the face with the fumes from the person before you (who for some reason left the seat up) just so you can wash your hands. Even the door is filthy. Clean all of the bathroom and provide wet wipes would be a great place to start. read more

Great BBQ! This place is easy to miss, as it is in an odd location. But it's worth the search. Some coworkers told me about this place and I love it now. Pork, brisket, bbq baked beans, and cornbread muffins. All just amazing. You can also get "gift certificates" (they work more like coupons really) on Restaurant.com for POAF that can take a healthy 30% off your total experience after everything is said and done (make sure you find a coupon code before buying the certificate though, there is always a promo code, just use google) I would have to recommend taking a big party and getting the family feast deal, it's $89.99 but it feeds 8 no problem. I will definitely be returning, if I had any complaint it would be that they close way too early. But I'm sure that has to do with their location. If they opened a new, larger place and began serving beer, they would get that 5th star from be in a heartbeat. But still, great work! read more

When my husband and I first came across Pork on a Fork's listing we giggled at the name and vowed to try it if only for the name. We found the perfect opportunity to try POAF when LivingSocial featured them as the local daily deal. After leaving Texas 2+ years ago I thought I would never find good bbq again. Thank you, Pork on a Fork for restoring my faith that you don't have to go to a BBQ-infused state to get great BBQ! We will return time and time again for their amazing sandwiches and the "f this diet" waffle fries. It is a bit out of the way for me to drive but I would be a liar if I said it wasn't worth it. I would go so far as to say this has got to be the best BBQ joint in Phoenix. read more

This is the best bbq I can say I've ever eaten in the valley. It could go up against some of the best BBQ joints in the US. I'm talking places all throughout Texas, Memphis, etc. I had the 2 meat platter w/Beef Brisket & Pulled Chicken. The meats are so tender, perfectly seasoned & cooked that you don't even need BBQ sauce; but the BBQsauce is also amazing and adds a lil pop & dimension to the flavor profile of the perfectly flavored meats. The sides were also not your typical quick, thrown together sides like most places which use prepackaged, bagged & bottled ingredients. I had the Mac & Cheese - no question that this is homemade (awesomely creamy & perfectly cheesy, not overwhelming-just perfect) & for my 2nd side I had coleslaw. I was totally & absolutely pleasantly surprised. The Coleslaw was also homemade, not bagged cabbage (it was freshly, hand chopped) & mixed w/a homemade, fresh & excitingly flavorful dressing of delightful perfection (not too thick & creamy, yet not too watered down, either - finally after all these yrs ... I've found a coleslaw that has a perfect balance in the dressing consistency, a perfect flavor profile & is made w/fresh, hand chopped cabbage & I can finally say that it's the best slaw I've ever eaten). My spouse had a full rack of baby back ribs which he couldn't stop raving about. Ate the entire rack in 1 setting. The meat literally just fell right off the bones. If you're on the North side of Phx- - -trust me when I say this is a Restaurant you MUST visit. It will NOT disappoint. read more

It's rare that with four kids and two adults we can all find something we really like. This is that place. The beans are fantastic. Well, all of their sides are great. The meats are wonderful. I've yet to question their wood selections for smoking or cooking times/temps but they know just what they are doing with briskets, butts, and chickens. We've been here twice and will go back again. read more

Awesome! I'd never seen this place before, but we went with friends. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. We had a restaurant.com gift certificate so ordered a ton of food since we had to hit $35 with just 2 of us. Pretty much everything we ordered was good except a few things that I didn't like but my hubby did. The baked beans had awesome flavor but were a bit spicy for me. The ribs were out of this world- perfectly done and great flavor. Same for the pulled pork, waffle fries, sweet potato fries, and cornbread muffins. The BBQ sauces were a perfect compliment to the foods- I loved the tangy flavors and hubby liked the mustard and spicy sauces. They were all out of beef brisket and mac and cheese, but we'll definitely try those next time. I also wanted to try the grilled ham and cheese sandwich, but we were already well beyond stuffed full. Prices here are really reasonable, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. read more

I want to make sweet love to their beans!!!! PoaF is a very small place that is easily missed. But, take the time to find it and you will be VERY happy! The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. we have gone to Dillion's for years and like it very much, but PoaF is the real deal. The brisket has a black char on the outside- just as it should. The sweet potato fries are thick and full of flavor. And the beans.... So much flavor and large chunks of pork in them........ Go! Now! Run!! Update...... And now they have thick, rich, creamy mac and cheese!!!!!! Run faster!!! Now!! read more

I had been searching for a good BBQ place (specifically a place with good pulled pork) and look no further. This place has lots of options, great sides (I got the waffle fries and pasta salad) and excellent sauce! The pulled pork sandwich was so tender it was ridiculous. Very tangy BBQ sauce, delicious. It looks small in the pictures, but there's more seating in the back, and holy cow it's huge! I will definitely be coming back. *edit* I have been back a few times, and the food is consistently good. If you rated this place bad, you might have just gotten unlucky. It's definitely good BBQ. The best around, easily. If you think shanes is better, you really have no idea what good BBQ is... read more

Went to visit Pork on a Fork for dinner on a Friday night with my wife. I'll start with the bad, because there is only one bad thing about the place - it is difficult to find. It's in a quasi-industrial strip mall and does not have clear signage. That said, spending the time to find it was worth the wait. The Location: No-thrills, semi-divey joint. Very clean. My only beef with the location is that it was hard to find. The Meal: I had the Smokin' Meal, which has pulled pork, brisket, sausage, and two sides. The pulled pork was good; very tender and juicy, not dry at all. The brisket had a nice char on the outside and was beautiful to look at with some very clear smoke rings. It wasv also very good. The sausage almost stole the show. It was perfectly spicy, had just the right amount of snap, and left me wanting more. I chose corn bread and baked beans for my sides. The baked beans were great and had burnt ends mixed in. They were a little on the sweet side for my taste, but still very, very good. The corn bread, likewise, was good. Really, though, the meal wasn't about the sides. If I could have just had the meat I would have (although I lack the self-control for that sort of nonsense.) My wife had the pulled pork sandwich. It too came with two sides (corn bread and macaroni and cheese). She enjoyed the sandwich, particularly with their mild sauce on it (I forget what they name it). The mac and cheese, which I craftily (no pun intended) stole a large amount of, was great. It's not fancy, baked, bacon and breadcrumbs restaurant style mac, but is what Kraft Mac and Cheese would be if it was any good. Bottom line, delicious. The Service: Great. Everyone at the restaurant was very friendly. The Price: Affordable. The Smokin' Meal, which could have fed two people, was around $10.00. The Pulled Pork Sammie was about $8.00. Very reasonably priced considering the amount and quality of the food. Overall: Will DEFINITELY return to Pork on a Fork. Bring friends. I would think that it was worth the drive even if I had come from South Phoenix. I think it is the best barbecue that I've eaten in the valley. read more

No. Noooo thank you. My friend ranted and raved about this place - it sounded good, close to work, and I was in the mood for some BBQ. I purchased a pulled chicken BBQ sandwich, side of mac and cheese, and.... waffle fries I think (obviously, unforgettable). Within the first bite of my chicken sammich, I found a chicken joint thing within the chicken.... There was only a bun, pulled chicken, and bone fragments (no additional toppings). They did have a lot of different types of sauces and they were great (hence the two stars instead of one)! The mac and cheese was super bland and mushy. The actual restaurant is near deer valley airport, in an office plaza, and has an industrial feel to the inside. If you really like BBQ, check it out, but check the food before you take your first bite! read more

My favorite new restaurant. Outstanding BBQ. Cannot wait to come back. Love the Midwest vibe. So good you don't even need a bun. Excellent!!! Very reasonably priced. I'm gonna be a regular. read more

I love this place! We weren't sure what to expect since the restaurant is in an office building plaza. Kinda weird, but the employees in the other businesses are lucky! We went in here on a whim after reading all the awesome Yelp reviews. Our first impression was a girl at the front and she was super nice and didn't rush us while we were checking out the menu options. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with macaroni & cheese and my husband ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans. He also ordered a side of ribs to sample. The wait wasn't too bad -- it took about 10 or 15 minutes and it was ready to go. They are cool with their sauce and let you fill up the small plastic cups and take as much as you want of it (which is awesome, because the sauce tastes SO good!). It's a nice, thick sauce and they have several flavors to choose from. We go to a nearby area to have a little picnic by ourselves and notice that they forgot to include the side of ribs. We pack everything up and go back to get those. The employees were really nice about it and apologized and gave my husband the side of ribs. We repeat the same process and realize that they also messed up my husband's order and gave him a pulled pork sandwich instead of the brisket sandwich. We decide to let it go and eat our food. The pulled pork has great flavor. The meat actually tastes like it has been smoked for several hours and is good enough to eat on its own without any sauce. However, we weren't going that route, because the sauce is too damn good not to eat. The baked beans and macaroni & cheese were not anything special, but they were good. The ribs were our favorite part! We absolutely loved them. Very tender and the sauce they chose to slather them in was delicious. This place is pretty far from where we live, but we would definitely go out of our way (again) to eat here more. read more

The staff was kind and food served quickly. Quirky location in a concrete tilt up building. Not a complaint - just an observation. Several sauces are available for you - try 'em! Will return for sure. read more

Went Saturday night at about 7pm. There were 3 of us and we had pulled pork, brisket and ribs. The staff was friendly however the food was disappointing. All the meats were dry. Good smoke flavor but none of the meats tasted fresh. I had beans and waffle fries for sides and liked both very much. We also tried the mac and cheese and thought it could have been more fresh as well. Dining area was fine however the bbq sauce bottles were all dirty and looked as though they hadn't been cleaned in a while. We have been in the past and liked it however this last visit was quite a disappointment due to the dry (all of them) meats. Come on guys, I know you can do better! read more

WOW!!!! I found this place by using my YELP mobile app searching for nearby places to eat next to my home. I had NO idea this hidden gem was literally a few miles up the road from me across from Deer Valley Airport. It turns out this place has almost a 5 star yelp rating, was featured on Guy Fieri's Diner's, Drive-In, & Dives (love me some Triple D!), AND has a $20 for $10 GROUPON!!! So, my date and I decided to check it out for the first time this past Friday night. I could smell the bbq before we even pulled in the parking lot. I had a HUGE smile on my face walking in the doors! The menu is on a flat screen tv in front of the register. You place your order there rather than sitting at a table and ordering from a server. We both got the MONSTER which is a sandwich with Beef Brisket and Pork, jalapenos, slaw, pepper jack cheese (I think I got that right). You pick 2 sides and I chose the mac n cheese and the baked beans. OMG I am so in love with this food right now! The bbq was simply delicious, the mac n cheese was phenom, and those were the BEST baked beans I have ever eaten in my life.... and I'm a Southern Girl! I will be back many times... probably later today. I can't wait to eat my way through the menu. Thank you YELP!!!! read more

After my last review, I received a response from the owner, Justin. I had my hopes up that he would take the bull by the horns and things would be much improved. In that spirit, I returned to POAF on 9/28. Mondays, as a rule, aren't too busy. Therefore, it makes sense that the staff would have the time to be diligent. I was hoping for a brisket sandwich, beans, mac n cheese and a Dr Pepper. This is typical barbecue. At 12:15 pm on a Monday, I was told that they had run out of brisket! I settled for half a rack of babybacks and the aforementioned sides. BTW, POAF's soda dispenser was out of Dr Pepper. I settled for sweet tea. The babybacks were smoky, a bit chewy and hung on to the bone -- and they were almost room temperature. The beans were good and spicey. There were a couple of scraps of meat in the beans. However, not as much meat as there once was. The mac n cheese was, as usual, very good. I'm trying to be supportive and understanding. I really am. However, I just don't understand how a barbecue joint runs out of brisket, on a Monday, before any real lunchtime rush. It's these missteps that have become emblematic of my trips to this establishment. I worked my way through college in a hotel kitchen. I watched the prep chef get fired over not having a steamship round ready on time. I'm wondering who was in charge of smoking briskets and if they still have a job.... Management has to solve these problems. One day, there's no meat in the beans. The next time, there is meat in the beans, but not as much as there used to be. Lastly, a failure to adequately prepare enough of one of your signature menu items to get through a Monday lunch is inexcusable. The problems here are a failure of leadership. I don't blame the laborers. I blame management and ownership for this carelessness. I hate to say it, but it almost seems like POAF is coasting on it's reputation. read more

OK. Not terrible, but not great. I won't be back. I had the sampler, as it was my first time and I wanted to try a little of everything. The meats are very juicy, but didn't have much flavor. BBQ is supposed to taste smokey (and sweet/spicy) but I didn't taste like BBQ. It tastes more like it was baked in an oven rather than over coals or a wood fire. In other words, the texture is excellent but the flavor is very lacking. My sides were Mac n cheese and criss cut fries. Fries probably came from a big bag from Costco, not very good. Mac n cheese was fine. The restaurant itself is not impressive. Weird layout as you order in front then walk past the kitchen door, two restrooms and into the back where they have tables (and another bathroom in the middle of the wall by the tables) Wobbly condiments table, dirty utensil and napkin dispensers; for a BBQ place I don't care too much about ambiance, but it should at least feel clean. It is overpriced too. The sampler plate ($1.50 brisket substitute...why?) And a drink came out to $16 and change. I can get a full pound of brisket and a drink at Rudy's for the same price. Its out of my way anyway but I won't be back. read more

Delicious food! My whole family enjoyed. We purchased their BBQ sauce on our way out.

Still really like this place but was a bit bummed with part of my lunch order today. I decided to give their sweet potato fries a try & took my order to go. When I got home & opened up the box I found only about 6 sweet potato fries with my meal (see photo). Maybe they were running low & this is not the usual amount they serve, but I feel like I was jiped! read more

BBQ Done right, Awesome SMOKEY Flavor! Got the brisket sandwich, coleslaw & sweet potato fries. Sandwich was rockin! Enjoyed every bit of it! You can tell they know what they are doing . . . Rich and Flavorful rub with some VERY NICE sauces to complement. We LOVED the spicy! Look forward to going back soon! Only complaint: the brisket was not trimmed, so there were a few mouths full of fat that were not pleasant . . . but I guess its to be expected sometimes. read more

Unassuming business park location knocks it out of the park with competition style BBQ. You may ask yourself "What does competition style BBQ really mean?", you won't find ribs that fall off the bone, dainty plating or complex flavor profiles BUT what you will find is high grade meat, cooked to perfection with a down home side dishes and menu options using fresh alternatives. This BBQ Joint brings a wicked burrito stuffed with beans, cheese and whatever kind of meat you want (Pork, Beer or Chicken) or go with the Midwest Monster, a BBQ sandwich piled high. For those looking for more traditional BBQ fare, order the Pulled Pork or Brisket Sandwiches or just go with a half-rack of the killer pork ribs. Ambiance in straight forward as the space is a converted business park location, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel good. Lots of BBQ posters, farm pictures and contest memorabilia let you know these guys take their food seriously. Ample seating in the back room and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very approachable. Great value for the amount of food you get per order, but the best is buying bulk pounds either take-out or eat picnic style at your table. Good mixture of POAF branded sauces which add another layer to the wonderful taste of fresh BBQ and quality meats.. Keep up the great work guys and gals! read more

Pros: good service tasty meats yummy sauces (love that they are on the table to try) great fries and beans Cons: dry mac and cheese out of chicken nuggets (we have four kids, so this was a bit of a sticking point) pricey! 3 kids meals and two adult meals with drinks cost $50. Honestly, I just don't think it was worth it. Tasty, but not THAT great. read more

I'm in trouble, real trouble with this joint. It is the most delicious BBQ I've ever had. No more "chains" for me, now it's all about Pork on a Fork. They are two doors down from where I work so it's super convenient to get my pulled pork fix. I could really just make a meal out of their sides as well. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp. Baked beans tasted smoky and sweet. Oh and don't let me forget about the crispy on the outside, tender on the inside sweet potatoe fries. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a beef brisket sandwich. Both were enough to feed me for 4 days! There was a lot of meet on those sandwiches. All in all, my belly is happy, even if my waistline is not. :) read more

This place is a hidden gem! If you're not paying attention you can easily miss this spot because it's in a commercial building, but don't let that fool you this place is great. Walking in and just smelling the food lets you know that this place is legit. This was my first time here and I came based on the suggestions of my fellow Yelpers. Prior to ordering my food I checked in and was given a free drink just for checking in. Not sure if that is an all the time thing, but it let you know that they care about their customers. I ordered the pull pork sandwich with a side of waffle fries. The sandwich was excellent and the pork was moist and seasoned perfectly to allow the flavor of the meat to shine. The fries were just as good and I was happy with my choice. Plus you couldn't beat the price for the quality of food...just $9. This place was clean inside and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

Excellent! My husband is a southern guy with a BBQ obsession. We tried POAF for the first time tonight and were impressed! The sauces are better than Rudy's! The meat was delicious and the sides were also good. Our only recommendation is to add big baked potatoes to the menu to put the meats on! A very good experience. Super nice workers. read more

Best pulled pork around! I also really liked the potato salad - had a nice amount of mustard, good grilled sausage, warm Mac n cheese and corn bread is decent. All 4 sauces were nice, the brisket was ok (Naked BBQ is better for that item). read more

Went to POAF, they are a little pricey, but seriously the brisket hit the spot. Nice and smokey, had great flavor (when does a brisket not?), wasn't drenched in sauce. To be honest i could have eaten it without adding any sauce. So delicious. Their sauces are good too. The line was a little confusing but i figured it out pretty quickly. Get there before 11:45. that is when the rush gets in there. read more

Good call Yelpers, good call. Full disclosure, I've had barbecue at some pretty famous establishments in Austin and Kansas City. While this place doesn't have the history or the reputation of some of barbecue bastions of the world, this is definitely among the best barbecue joints I've been to in the valley. Perhaps that might not be a high bar to clear, but its definitely worth a try. As with so many barbecue joints I've been to, this location seems to have a goofy disposition. This particular establishment is located in a row of storage warehouses right across the street from Deer Valley Airport. You really have to be looking for this place as the exterior blends in with all the other businesses in the complex. Once inside though, the story changes entirely. I was warmly greeted by a gal at the register as the lunch crowd came streaming in. Their meat smoker is right behind the register filled with slabs of brisket, ribs, pork, and sausages. The smell wafting into the front counter is heavenly. Theres a tiny amount of seating up front, but there's a bunch more around the corner in back. The back is basically an industrial garage thats been turned into a sports lounge of sorts with multiple TVs showing ESPN channels, a bunch of booths as well as table seating in the middle. Not fancy or pretentious at all, but very relaxed. If it had a bar, it'd be perfect. Being that this was my first trip, I grab a sampler plate. You get pulled pork, smoked chicken, and smoked sausage along with two sides. For a little extra you can substitute a meat for brisket. Being that brisket is their calling card, I exchanged brisket for chicken this time. I got BBQ beans and waffle fries as my sides. And got a couple of soft rolls to make sandwiches with my meats. I grabbed a booth seat in back since the front was already getting crowded. So let's get to the verdicts on their food. And for the record, I typically like to eat my BBQ without sauce as the best barbecue doesn't need it. For starters, excellent brisket. Nice smokey flavor with a pronounced smoke ring to match, tender and juicy, and a nice portion. The sausage's smokey flavor was a little less pronounced, but plenty juicy and flavorful as well. The pulled pork was also good, though perhaps a little on the dry side. The beans were a little bit of a bust as I didn't taste any BBQ flavor in those. I actually got the waffle fries so I could try their four sauces which are provided at the table. Of the four, I actually like their mustard flavored sauce best. The mustard gives it a little tangy zip that adds to the flavor without being too spicy. They also have a sweet & mild sauce, a smoked tangy sauce, and a hot & spicy sauce (it wasn't all that hot in my opinion). I applied a little of the mustard sauce to the meat which was great, though as I said great smoked BBQ doesn't need sauce. Total for the sampler plate (including the brisket substitute and two sides), 2 rolls, and fountain drink was $15. Good lunch portions that left me satisfied without feeling uncomfortably full. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. The place was really getting busy as I left so the average time spent here might be a little longer than that. After eating here I still give a slight edge to Bobby Q's as the best in the valley, but POAF can certainly hold their own, especially on the brisket. In the end, its not Bryant's, or Franklin's, or Salt Lick. But if the Phoenix area is going to get into the barbecue sweepstakes going forward, it will be competition style BBQ joints like Pork On A Fork that will be forging that path. read more

Pork On A Fork - Sampler with brisket (instead of chicken), sausage, pulled pork, BBQ beans, waffle fries, and two rolls. - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

True BBQ is BBQ that doesn't need sauce to make it taste good. This place does an excellent job at doing just that. The meat comes in its purest form - straight off the bbq or smoker. You put your own sauce on. We had the pulled pork, chicken, ribs, and brisket. We all agreed - it was yummy. The pork was my favorite but since I don't eat brisket, I was down to 3 choices. The chicken was good - not as good as I've had but it was juicy so can't beat that. The ribs were really good - tender with the perfect bbq grill taste. For sides we had, the cornbread and mac salad. Nothing out of the ordinary but I'd get both again. Next time I'm trying the sausage and mac n cheese. It comes with rolls but that's just fillers. One tip, this place is SOOOO Hard to find esp, at night. We all missed it (3 dif. cars) and kept thinking we had the wrong address. It is in a business park area across the street from the airport. Look for the Honeywell building's red sign across and turn into the driveway. read more

Oh boy! An abbreviation like POAF deserves a visit. I am going to TRY to keep this short and simple due to the amount of people that may check this place out. We came around 7 pm and the hospitality was great being greeted with a smile and recommendations on entrees and sides. Therefore, we got the brisket sandwich and half slack of ribs with waffle fries, mac n cheese, cornbread, and the baked beans as sides. Oh dang, you are getting excited, aren't you? I believe coming late meant the food was not that fresh. The food came out immediately and the brisket was chewy and dare I say dry with a little lack of flavor. Don't hurt me POAF. I am hoping this was due to the fact it was later in the evening. As a result, I drenched that extra BBQ sauce on my sandwich. Extra BBQ sauce? You got that right, 4 different kinds to satisfy your taste buds! My wife said the ribs were similar to my brisket. However, we did enjoy the baked beans that had a meaty flavor with the pork mixed in. Overall, I will have to try this place again. Maybe a little earlier. I am basing my 3 stars that the price is expensive and all the hype. I looked at a menu at another popular BBQ SIT DOWN restaurant, and POAF was only a bit lower. Therefore, if I am going to spend this much, it would be at the sit down. Although, this is to be continued pending my next trip for a fresher experience. I will see you again POAF! read more

The customer service was very good. The food LOOKED amazing and SMELLED amazing but the flavor was just meh. The food was pretty bland and the pulled pork and brisket were dry. The smoked sausage looked and tasted overcooked. The macaroni and cheese could have benefited from a better blend of cheeses and the sprinkling of red pepper on top was unnecessary. The sweet potato fries were awesome, but it's pretty hard to mess up sweet potato fries. Compared to BBQ that I've had in the past (Jim n' Nicks, Famous Dave's, Rudy's and Slick Pig (in Murfreesboro, TN)) this is definitely the lowest on the totem pole to me. read more

I was raised on southern pit Bar-B-Q. As a displaced Texan, I'm still searching for a good meal. Heard Pork on a Fork was pretty good so I hunted them down one evening. You will need a good GPS to find the location in an industrial strip center near Deer Valley airport. They serve real smoked Bar-B-Q which is better than many local BBQ joints. You can see the smoke ring on the brisket without needing a magnifier. But, it falls far short of the perfect BBQ from south Texas. Only 12 hours in a slow smoker produces brisket that meets the back home standard. Pretty good Bar-B-Q. I'm still looking for awesome. read more

Two stars for their service. The food was not good at all. I've been there twice. I thought I'd give them a second chance and try something else on the menu. I tried the sampler with chicken, smoked sausage and tri tip. Mac and cheese and Cole slaw on the side. The only good thing was the Mac and cheese. read more

Holy crap this is some good BBQ. My wife and I love BBQ and are always looking to try new places. When we saw this place was just down the street from us we decided to give it a try. My wife and I both got the smokin' meal, which comes with brisket, pulled pork, sausage and two sides. The meats were each equally fantastic and the BBQ sauce was really, really good. I also really enjoyed the baked beans and cornbread I got with my meal. The price was pretty reasonable and we got our food super quick. The place is located in kind of a weird place but it's worth looking for if you have to. Seriously, some of the best BBQ in town. read more
