Im new here and I want to thank you guys for having this site!! Im a BBQ "enthusiast" and am ALWAYS in search of a "regular" BBQ joint for me to go to!
Ill give a short review of the Bryan's experience that I had. It was PACKED the day I went, so maybe its a bad day to judge.
Atmosphere: A- outside having to clean your own table(and cleaning a table after someone else's BBQ is gross) I thought the ambience was great. Order like your at McDonalds and then wait for your name to be called. Again, going to Cave Creek is fun anyway, so the atmosphere was good.
Brisket: C+ Im confused by what Arizonan's call Brisket. This was served AZ style in slices such as prime rib or a roast beef sandwhich. The flavor was fair, not great and it seemed a little "chewy" but again, Im used to "Brisket" being shaved or almost in a "pulled" fashion. I guess I have to adjust to this sliced AZ style.
Pulled Pork: C+ Opposite here, the flavor was VERY good. It was, however, outweighed by the actual quality of the meat. I had to stop chewing and pull "grissly" stuff out of my mouth on numerous occasions. Too bad as the flavor was really good. This is where the PACKED may have hurt them(quality suffered due to a CRAZY busy day)
Beans: C- This is definately a personal opinion as these were Texas style beans that seemed like they were out of a can. They werent bad, they were edible, but they were just kind of Blah. I like beans to have the same flavor as the sauces at the restraunt and it just seemed that they didnt spend much time on their recipe for their beans.
Thats all I had. Overall I would give them a C+. Not worth going out of your way to drive to Cave Creek, but if your there, not a place to avoid. It didnt make the DNR list(Do not return) but I would not go out of my way*(and thats WAY up there in CC)
