Any good BBQ in Phoenix?

[kurtsara]

Since I am laid off, me and the wife are going to fly out to Phoenix/Mesa February 5th-16th and of course we have to eat, so who has the best BBQ down there?

I just hope it is nice down there when we are there.

Hey Kurt, I'm 90 miles south in Tucson-up there theres a Q joint that was on diners drive-ins and dives- not sure of the name but somthing bout 3 pigs? Bro and I ate there and from sombody that has 200 trophys we sure wern't impressed-if u can do a search on that show-theres a couple others Guy went to that I hear wern't bad.Feb in Phoenix you shouldn't need more than a t-shirt during the day-lite jacket when the sun goes down.enjoy your trip

Well I think it's safe to say that it'll be warmer than MN. Enjoy your trip.

My favorite is Honey Bear's BBQ. They've got three store locations in the Valley. The one on the SW corner of Elliot & Priest just east of I-10 is the one I hit.

If you're gonna be in Mesa, you can check out Waldo's BBQ on Main St. just east of Greenfield. I have to warn you though, the snowbirds are here and place can look like a funeral home having a clearance sale. Good food though. I like the rbletts when I go there.
I heard Joe's in Gilbert is good too but I have never been there.
Of course then there's the chain places like Tom,s (which may be a local chain) and Famouse Dave's up by Bass Pro shop.

Thanks for the info, I'm bookmarking and will bring the info down there with me.

Being from Minnesota I will not bring a lite jacket

Just had several friends meat up there and eat at a place called Joe's.

They said it was great... I can't say thought... http://www.joesrealbbq.com/ is the link they sent.

Yeah, the place is called Joe's! Maybe I can do a scouting report for you before you get to town..

They have a place to the east called Joe's Farm Grill that serves a huge burger and some other great grub. I would imagine thier Q is good too..
