Food was so good, I don't really like baked beans that much but the staff recommended it and the beef cheek and both were amazing.

Had lunch here today and it was delicious!!!! We ordered beef ribs, half chicken, candy brisket and the Texas twinkies. Mannnn those twinkies are out of this world. Jalapeño cream cheese brisket and bacon. Count me in. Candy brisket was my favorite. Beef ribs was my husbands but all together so much flavor and juicy and so tender. The kids had Mac and cheese too and they ate it straight from the container. Definitely a spot to stop and try. read more

Zero stars read more

Service was the best thing here ! From the helpful staff to the rounding up on the weight of meat 10/10 service! Here's everything we ordered and what we thought Brisket 3/5 it was good, not dry but it didn't blow me away Sausage 3/5 interesting texture, good flavor Turkey 5/5 this was our favorite thing! Moist & flavorful Texas Twinkies 4/5 they're huge ! Beans 4/5 very yum !! Probably second favorite thing Mac and cheese 0/5 I could not believe how little flavor it had. Tasted like boiled noodles no cheese I do like that they give like pita bread vs white bread like most places. Bbq sauces were fine a sweet and a spicy option did the job. For $100 I guess I had just hoped for a little more. We are on the search for our favorite bbq spot in AZ so far we really enjoyed Bobby Qs and Caldwells the most read more

We looked for a spot somewhat between Phoenix and Gilbert to meet some family and were so happy to have found Wild BBQ! We were warmly welcomed when we walked in. The smoked smell as soon as we got out of the car was so inviting as well. We reviewed the menu and decided to try almost every meat they had available since there was seven of us sharing. We were not disappointed! The sliced brisket melted in our mouths, the chicken was juicy, the Texas Twinkie was packed with brisket! We also enjoyed all the sides we ordered - rice, Mac & cheese, Mexican corn salad and Mediterranean salad. Oh and the naan bread with chimichurri was also flavorful. IMO this was the best meal of our 3 day trip to AZ! read more

Excellent bbq at this spot near the airport. Was cruising to Skyharbor in search of some lunch before a flight. Wild BBQ did NOT disappoint. A Texas-style limited menu has everything you need. Tried an off-menu choice - a brisket burger. This is a pair of chopped brisket patties topped with cheese, pickles and picked onions served on a brioche bun. Man, THIS was a winner! Chunky, juicy ground brisket grilled lusciously medium and seasoned to perfection. Every bite is an explosion of deliciousness. Beware- this is sloppy to eat but worth the extra napkins. Staff is engaging and friendly; they aim to please. Thank you! Definitely worth a stop on my next trip thru PHX. read more

Been waiting for these guys to open and they're killing it! Not only do they bring a unique halal spin to Texas BBQ but they deliver on it too. That brisket is up there with the best of them and the wild naan is crazy, I gravitate towards that. The sides fell a bit flat to me and the beef cheeks (burnt ends) were overdone on my visit. And while I love a good smoked turkey with the tandoori concept, this also was a tad dry. Would gladly give them another try and their service is great read more

My fiancée and I drove past here then had to bust a "U" just to eat here. This place knows how to make a brisket! Brisket: 5/5 Candy brisket "burnt ends": 5/5 Texas Twinkie: 5/5 Mac n cheese: 4/5 Corn salad: 2/5 Pickles: 5/5 Bbq sauce 3/5 Service: 5/5 The crew members they were very welcoming. Also gave me a sample of their brisket before buying. Good vibes, and very professional. Ambiance: 5/5 Nice decent sized place, there's also outside seating. The bathrooms were clean as well! Overall I give it a :4/5 What would give it a 5? I would like more variety of bbq sauces something more spicy. read more

This place just opened a few months ago and I'm glad we stumbled into it. Haven't had good BBQ in a minute and this place made my belly happy lol. My favorite had to be their candy brisket! Everything was smoked and flavorful. Service was quick. The ambiance of this place is somewhat a cabin vibe, with dark wooden interior. Nice little spot for a date! The only thing I would say that'll make my experience better is if they served the food hot. I wanted to enjoy the cheese corn but it wasn't as enjoyable cold. read more

If you're looking for incredible BBQ in Tempe, Wild BBQ is a must visit! The portions are absolutely massive, so come hungry! Every bite was packed with flavor, from their large ribs to their delicious sides. You can tell they put a lot of care into their food, and it shows both quality and quantity. This day we got 2 beef ribs, 2lbs of brisket, candy brisket (must try!), Texas Twinkie (jalapeno stuffed with brisket and cream cheese and wrapped with beef brisket). For the sides we ordered rice, Mediterranean salad, elotes, pita bread, and Mac/Cheese. It was enough to feed 4 very hungry people with leftovers. Also, customer service is on point. Everyone there was extremely nice and attentive. It is a bit on the pricey side but, BUT worth every single penny! We will definitely be back! read more

Tried this place for the first time today and they did not disappoint!! The brisket and the beef rib both pulled apart with a plastic fork!! So tender and the flavor was out of this world. Loved the mac and cheese and the baked beans had brisket in them. On top of that the owner was amazing. I asked if they had a couple extra beef bones because I have 3 dogs and she went table to table asking people if they were done with the bones and got me bones for my dogs! Will definitely be back!! read more

What an amazing experience at Wild BBQ! We went to their soft opening a few weeks back and tried the following. The staff was super helpful with helping us decide. Beef Dino rib- great bark, perfect smoke balance and there was plenty of meat on the bone! The staff gave us some free tortilla-style bread which was perfect as it cut the richness of the meat. Brisket sandwich: Portion size was massive- each piece of brisket was tender as can be! They had a sweeter tasting bbq sauce that went with the meat perfectly. Again we were pleased. The 2 of us had a Dino rib and brisket sandwich and it came out to 70ish, which is in line with what bbq would cost. We could've just eaten 2 sandwiches but wanted to try some other items. Anyways, to sum up, Wild BBQ is definitely worth a try-- get there earlier in the day if possible as they have been selling out early! Go go go Bonus, one of the cooks is a Patriots fan read more

This was our first time and so we sampled a bunch. The jalapeño cheddar sausage had a great flavor and creamy cheese. The brisket came in regular and lean. Good bark and Smokey flavor. The brisket sandwich was $20 and they stacked it with meat. Most of the meats were $20ish a half pound. Twinkies and sausage $6 a piece. The tandoori smoked turkey was really good. Especially with their honey garlic/mustard sauce. Beef rib was fall apart tender. Good bark and juicy. The sides were meh. The yellow rice had a basic flavor. My brother really liked the Mediterranean salad. The naan bread seemed from scratch and good flavor. We came at 11 (opening) and there were 3 people waiting for the doors to unlock. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating and TVs for watching games and such. I give the meat 5 stars and the sides 3-4. I'll be back. read more

Remy in the movie Ratatouille learns that anyone can be a chef. While not everyone can cook, Wild BBQ shows that you do not need to be born in Texas to make authentic BBQ. Wild BBQ is open only on weekends from Fri/Sat/Sun from 11-8pm and does catering. It is on University and Roosevelt in downtown Tempe. Their barbecue is Texas style and smoked 14 hours. They also have quality meats since they are halal, and offer lamb. While there is no pork, the beef cuts are generous and tender. They may do a shredded beef sandwich in the future. The texas twinkie has shredded beef in a jalapeño which is moist and not too spicy. I followed the suggestions and had lamb shank and always brisket. I had mac and cheese (large shells) and beans. The beans were not overly vinegar nor too sweet without being bland. The mac and may need more cheese for the average person but it was good and will keep your cholesterol regulated while giving you good flavor. The meat were tender. The two sauces were spicy and sweet. Sweet was delicious and contains pomegranate juice from Jordan. The plate came with onions, pickles, and jalapeños, and naan bread which elevates the palate from a single piece of white sandwich bread. They serve Coke products and have iced tea. While the owners are Midde Eastern, there are no politics and appear to be a family trying to pursue the American dream through business ownership and putting out quality food. From travelling in the Middle East, most people are average people who are friendly and not like the news presents them. There is nothing more American than delicious smoked barbecue. Catch a ball game on one of the screens or sit outside. You will enjoy the food because they do it well! read more

I usually don't like places like this; I like to be served. But they are so freaking friendly and welcoming it makes a difference. The beef cheeks were without a doubt the best bbq I have ever had. The Mediterranean was very different and so delicious. The lean pork slices was excellent. We have had other items before that were outstanding. We ate it so fast no pictures. read more

This is one of those places that I just happened to see as we drove by. It stayed in my head overnight, so we came today to give it a try. It's conveniently located to ASU, and I did notice a lot of ASU students picking up food and also eating there. They've done a really good job with the decor here. It's got a lot of rustic wood, and the lighting fixtures made with antlers are pretty cool. You can see a couple of real taxidermied deer, too. It really does have a barbecue theme, if that's a thing. You have a choice of either ordering a sandwich or ordering meat by the pound. We ordered a half pound of the tri-tip, a pint of the smoke beans, and a single serving of macaroni and cheese. Macaroni and cheese was fine, and a single serving was definitely enough for the two of us to share. The beans were really delicious with lots of smoked meat in it. We ordered a pint and it was way too much for us to eat we and ended up bringing half of it home. The real star of the show was that absolutely amazing tri-tip top with chimichurri and cojita cheese and served with four pieces of naan bread, pickles, and picked onion (is you want). The meat was so tender and had a fantastic smoked flavor. I love a good chimichurri, and this may be the best chimichurri I've ever had. Having a chimichurri and cohita cheese on top of the smoked meat made me not even want to try the barbecue sauce. You can't really improve on something that delicious! The staff was super friendly and helpful, and two different people came by to ask how we were enjoying the meal. I really like that. This place is a winner for us simply because of the fantastic smoked meat with chimichurri. I highly recommend it! read more

Wild BBQ is a halal BBQ (no pork) spot located close to Mill Ave in downtown Tempe. Open 3 days a week Fri-Sun 9am-11pm. Designated parking on the east side of the building. In my opinion a mix of BBQ and Mediterranean. We originally wanted to try the beef ribs but they were sold out when we got there around 3pm. We ended up trying the brisket and it was very good. The sides were also great. ( the hot sides were more warm, by the time we sat down at the table they were cold). Friendly staff and overall really good experience. Nice set up and great music. We'll definitely come back earlier next time to try the ribs. read more

Food was fantastic. I'm not a big BBQ person but I thoroughly enjoyed this. We had the candied brisket sandwich and Mac n cheese. Great service and quality of meat. Kelli was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

It was decent. The brisket was tender towards the top, but dry towards the bottom. The macaroni and cheese did not have any real cheese flavor. (it just taste like pasta with a tiny bit of cream ) The barbecue beans were excellent. The coleslaw was excellent. The corn salad was good. I went on a Saturday at 4 o'clock. (on the website it said they didn't close till 10. ) if I would've known, they run so short on everything. I would've gone earlier during the day and picked it up and just reheated it. They were out of everything except for Brisket, jalapeño sausage, and chicken. The last order of chicken was sold right after me. The service was good, it was fast, The ambience is what you would expect from a barbecue place. Again decent. I would not make a special drive over to this location on purpose. If I happen to be in the neighborhood. I probably would give it another try. read more

We had the pleasure of frequenting Wild BBQ twice in the past couple of weeks. Our first visit we ordered the Tandoori Smoked Turkey and Lean Brisket with a side of coleslaw and Mediterranean salad. It was soooo good! We didn't take any pictures on our first visit but I made sure we did the second visit: Beef brisket sausage made with Wisconsin cheddar and no preservatives and we loved the turkey so much we ordered that again and the lean brisket with a side of coleslaw. I was asked if we wanted a Texas Twinkie if you don't know what that is please visit Wild BBQ and order it if it is not sold out. It sounded lovely sadly we didn't order it but hopefully on our next visit. This is our new favorite place and we have added it to our rotation of favorite restaurants. Service is awesome everyone is friendly and Kelley and team explained the menu items beautifully. You can tell everyone that works at Wild BBQ loves being there. Thank you for the lovely bbq we can't wait to visit again. read more

Wild BBQ - Tandoori smoked turkey, lean brisket, beef brisket sausage, coleslaw. Spicy BBQ sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The brisket was good. The burnt pork ends were really good. The sausage I did not like at all. It had a texture to it that is hard to describe but really chewy. The Mac and cheese was awful. Tasted like flour. I think it's really expensive too, really only option is to get by the pound. The bbq sauce was so watery. read more

I literally could not shut up about this place even if you paid me. It's very rare to find such hospitable places and people in Tempe now, and they DID THAT. Starting from the door they let you sample the meats and walk you through. The general manager, Kelly went above and beyond with his hospitality. He went and gave us a tour of the back room where they smoke and cure all their meats. I thought that was something very unique and heartfelt. I will definitely be going back and making sure this place stays open!! read more

Went there on their opening day. They were busy! At that time they already run out of Mac and cheese and turkey. The person who was cutting the meat offered a piece of turkey free of charge. The turkey was ok. Not my cup of a tea. Definitely great thing I got just a piece to try. Beef brisket was definitely 10 out of 10. Side dishes were not my favorite corn bread not my cup of a tea but does not mean it is not good. Just something I don't eat. Pickled onion was ok. Overall could not judge the cleanliness of a restaurant it was extremely busy. But stuff was very proactive at cleaning tables after people would leave. Definitely highly recommend if you like a good brisket. read more

Food quality 10/10. Service 10/10. Even the line was populated with returning customers sharing their best experiences.

If you're looking for a great meal away from the crowds on Mill Avenue, this spot is worth the short detour. The BBQ was outstanding, don't skip the brisket, and don't be afraid to order extra because the leftovers are just as good the next day. The side dishes were equally impressive and easily held their own alongside the main event. Definitely a hidden gem that we'll be back to visit. read more

Best bbq in the state and it's not even close! Everything just falls off the bone or you can hardly pick anything up because it's so tender! The epitome of tendernism read more

The food itself gives this place a 5 star rating!! The brisket it's so juicy and tender, the beef rib is a must and you can't skip out on the Texas Twinkie!! We were checked out at the register by one of the owners, she was SO kind. After we ate we got to meet the pit master Kelly, he was so friendly!! He chatted with us about where they get their meat (all from ONE farm) and was also so kind. On our way out one of the other owners stopped us, went inside and got us a bag to carry out left overs in. Over all 10/10 experience!! If you want great bbq, and want to support a local business run by incredibly kind humans definitly go to wild bbq read more

First time here. Friendly greeting. Provide a generous sample of their meat and sauce. The place is very clean. Offer indoor and outdoor seating. Clean bathrooms. There were a variety of side to choose from. Can seat a couple of people and larger groups. The meat is freshly prepared and tender! The sauce is delicious. They offer a sweet and variety of spicy flavors. The price is well worth the BBQ! Highly recommend. Plan to go early, they do sell out. read more

my first time there orderd brisket sandwich, $20 and side of macaron $6, none of the was hot , warm, no tastes at all, at least for me, so it was my first and last time!! Got home my stomach wad a n turmoil. read more

First time here and let me tell you one thing, get the lamb chops. My favorite thing there. Pass on the pickles ,greek salad and the sandwiches. JUST GET THE MEAT with naan on the side. Or get the order of WILD NAAN with a meat of your choice. The brisket was good but that bun it was on was ridiculously not soft at all. The mac and cheese and banana pudding was a basic one. Chicken and pastrami was not on their typical menu and both , I say you could pass on. If you are Chicken person, they yeah go ahead and try it because their seasoning is what makes it unique but their bbq sauce is okay and that's coming from someone who doesn't like bbq sauce like that. We've gone to plenty of bbq spots that evenn V passed on used the bbq sauce and used more of the chimichurri sauce to pair with the meat. Their vibes and service was by far the sweetest and we'll be back to try the other meats because this BBQ is different and we recommend. read more

A gem for halal BBQ lovers! Wild BBQ is an absolute game changer. As someone who loves barbecue but eats halal/kosher, I usually don't get to eat much barbecue at restaurants--but not anymore. The beef cheek is a must-try, and the brisket was perfect. I also got their beef ribs which was nothing short of amazing even a day later. They were sold out of that Texas Twinkie this time but I definitely will be back. I also tried their banana pudding which was fantastic. You can tell they take pride in their smoking process; nothing was dry or over-sauced to hide the flavor. Great portion sizes, reasonable prices, and friendly service. So glad we found this spot! read more

I would hate to be this place's competition, because they have truly mastered their craft. Not only was the food out of this world, but they are so sweet and hospitable they it felt I was visiting my mother's house (even though she, unfortunately, cannot smoke a brisket that well). I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Every halal barbecue location I've been to has been extremely delicious and you can add Wild Barbecue to that list. I think the just opened at the end of 2025 and I've been excitedly hoping I had a work trip out this way to try. A very pepper forward brisket. I got the flat that was very moist. Why the flat? Because there is beef cheeks on the menu. The beef cheeks were so sticky and moist. The way it was presented felt like a halal UPGRADE of pulled pork. Folded between a slice of naan just slides into your belly. Taking bites of the Mediterranean salad that cuts the fat with the freshness from the cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes combined with the acidity of the vinegar. I saw the sausage and was curious about the casings used. Thankfully the group in front of me asked and here they use beef casings. The snap after taking a bite and the cheese that spewed out is still on my shirt. Permanent grease stain? Worth it. Then the Texas Twinkie using beef bacon. Paaaacked with brisket and cheese. I don't know how they stuffed it without bursting but it def burst after I took a bite. I think this was a special of the day but I could eat it daily. A new location in the Phoenix area but not losing to the other more established spots. read more

The service here is what keeps us coming back along with the brisket! We come here from Gilbert to get the brisket. If you get the sliced brisket, it's got the nice bark and juicy flavor. If you get a sliced or chopped brisket sandwich, set it off with the pickled onions and pickles! I don't even like onions, but these set your sandwich off in the right way, trust! The baked beans is the only other side we opt for, if in the mood. The Candied Brisket and Texas Twinkies are both Now, what we would recommend that could be a huge really benefit to add to the sides menu is a brisket baked potato (plain or loaded), fries, and good ol' corn on the cob. The mac & cheese has gotten better, but it's still missing that chef's kiss finger licking good type experience. This place is definitely worth the drive and love! Pics loading soon... read more
