I finally had the chance to get out there and enjoy Bryan's Restaurant.
Great place. It's in a small, cozy strip mall, but great western atmosphere.
When you walk in, the decorations and ambience are incredible. They put some great detail into them.
This is a counter service BBQ Restaurant, meaning that you order up at the counter instead of having wait staff come to your table.
I ordered up the Ribs & 1 Meat plate with Brisket & Fries. Bryan was actually in the back, working the line himself. I was able to say, "Hello" and introduce myself, but he was so busy we didn't get to talk. I think it was his wife that was working the line with him. They were moving.
The entire hour I was there, it was like a revolving door, they were consistently busy, never a slow moment.
We sat at the large table they had in the middle and had some great folks join us, so it was not only a great atmosphere, but also a very friendly one. Exactly what BBQ should be.
The Ribs & Brisket were very good, great smokey flavor and tender. My wife & my mom joined me, they ordered the two meat meal of Brisket & Chicken, so I was able to try some of the Chicken as well. Very tasty and tender.
They didn't have any Tri Tip or Appetizers on the menu, hopefully they add some in the future, but the experience was outstanding and the food was certainly worth the drive. They have a great location and I can see them being very successful there for a long time.
If you get a chance to head out there, go check them out. Tell them you are a member of AZBarbeque...
