About Eric's Family Barbecue

Eric's Family Barbecue is a restaurant known for its solid brisket and brisket burnt ends. The pulled pork and turkey are enjoyable, with the pulled pork sandwich featuring perfectly cooked and seasoned pork, making it a popular choice. The staff is friendly and welcoming, creating a pleasant dining experience. Customers have noted the fast and efficient service, with plenty of seating available for those who wish to eat in or take home their fabulous food. Notably, they offer a military discount. While the food is generally good, some menu items can be pricey, with sides costing $6 each and no plate or combo options, which may make the meal feel expensive. The brisket is moist and flavorful, often praised as some of the best in the area. The ribs are tasty, and the brisket falls apart with smokiness. The sides, including elote and beans, are fresh and okay, though some reviews mention they can be watery or just average. Customers have enjoyed the variety of barbecue sauce choices and highlighted the free arcade as a fun addition for those who finish early. The restaurant also offers a bourbon pecan pie that is not very sweet and a bit dry, but could be better with whipped topping. Overall, if someone is in the area, it’s worth a visit, especially for the brisket and friendly service. The place is praised as a local gem with great food and a good atmosphere, and many look forward to returning for more.

Been going the past year. Tonight I placed a to go order and the girl on the phone wanted payment over the phone- first time and then proceeded to push for a tip. I specifically ordered. as I always do, brisket, thin sliced and lean. Also asked for the barbecue sauce and pickles. My son had to go back in and ask for the sauce and pickles. Got home and the meat was sliced as thick as I had ever seen it before. Full of fat. I called. No manager and the girl laughed at me about...read full review

There was all of this hype about this being the BBQ place to go on the West Side. What a let down. $75 and couldn’t feed a family of five. Way over priced for the quality and quantity of food. The staff is friendly and knows their menu, just disappointing food.

I will never go any place else for BBQ in the west Valley! AMAZING!!!
