Another new BBQ joint has opened in Mesa. It is located at Main and Power Road in the same spot as the now defunct Sundowner / Old West BBQ. The people running it are totally different, as is the BBQ. I hope to provide a full review in the near future, but I will say now that the food is usually quite respectable and the place will not go on my infamous DNR (Do Not Return) list like Big Earls and Big Daddys. The folks running it are very nice and I would encourage everyone to give it a try. More to come...

Any update?  I was curious about their ribs but they only seem to make them on Friday and Saturday so I haven't gotten one of those days off work to be able to try.

Oh, you are definitely on my list.  Being near Florence area I need to have be selective about when I can get to places in Phoenix and beyond.

I visited Allison's earlier in the week and had a pulled pork sandwich.  I thought it was on the same level as Joe's Real BBQ and enjoyed the Sassy sauce more than Joe's sauce.

I decided to return today at lunch because they only do ribs on Friday and Saturday.  Both my co-worker and I were disappointed.

They are smoked with misquite wood, which you definitely smell and taste, but that was where the good part ended.  We found the ribs to be dry, tough, fatty and there wasn't a lot of meat on them.  They are dry rub ribs with a peppery

taste to them which kind of reminded me of pepper-cured bacon.  There were a couple ribs that were just darn near bone-only so not only was the little meat that was on there burnt, but I felt robbed of a full rack.
