Eric's Family Barbecue

The moist brisket is very delicious. The coleslaw, elote and mac 'n cheese are great as well.

Love, love, love the food. Small business. Very friendly.

Good food, certain menu items are great even. But $6 for a side is insane. No plate or combo options at all so you end up up paying $29 after tax for one sandwich, one side, and one drink.

Service was alright but the food was terrible. Barbecue sauce was the WORST I've ever had. I thought Barbecue sauce was suppose to be sweet and tangy, not just overwhelmingly tangy and not sweet. Over all food was just completely bland and I will not be back.

I really wanted to love this place and have been craving authentic BBQ

Points for: atmosphere, burger was good, pulled pork itself was good, 1 good worker.

Points off: rude under dressed waitress -1star
Price was very high for quality and quantity -1star

$6 sides- good but not worth it. Small amount and not fresh
They run out of sweet tea at the machine- you’re out of luck.
Sauces aren’t anything to write home about- but the house sauce is good. Spicy is lacking flavor. If you’re southern or Midwest - this place won’t do it for ya. Comparable to dickeys.
Fresh and hot
Burgers take 20 min so it’s awkward if your party orders other things
The pulled pork is very tender. Good meat to bun ratio. Fresh buns. Burgers were delicious. (They do offer to bring everything out at the same time). Mac and cheese was good. Not worth the price- portions are okay but a $20+ burger…
Clean. Enjoyable atmosphere. Nicely decorated. High AC for the summer heat.
Meat counter guy was friendly and helpful. He’s the only reason service got any stars.
The two counter girls were a bit too caught up in socializing/ on their phone and rushed us through quickly and had attitude-to the point she wrote the wrong name. She was also very inappropriately dressed. I don’t want your crop top and whole butt severing my food. This ain’t a hooters. That’s also a health code violation. Her whole stomach and cheeks were out- nothing to the imagination. She also glared at everyone and just had a pissy face. Felt weird to be watched eating. (Also atleast have a nice body and/or good attitude to pull it off if you don’t)They have a selection of local beers. As well as free to play games.

Small things to note: the menus are taped to the wall brown bags? and the amount of flies is annoying. Sauce is watery. Very heavy mustard influence.

Outstanding Brisket!!! The Banana pudding is great, also. Well worth the drive to Indian School and El Mirage.🙂

I love this place. BBQ is the best in Arizona and the breakfast is out of this world. I have been there many times and I’ve never had a bad experience. Please support this local gem.

My wife picked some of this up for dinner. It is really good but insanely expensive. Beef ribs are $40 lbs and brisket is $30+ lbs. She's paid $84 for A little over 2 lbs of meat and without sides. Probably won't go back. That is too high priced for my wallet!

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.

Five stars, greasy in a fan. The brisket was really moist, and the ribs tasty.

It's on the way way way west side, but it's worth it. Friendly servers too.

The Briskit was super tasty! Moist flaverful.... smokie ... and fall apartie!!!!! The best I have had in a looooong time. The sides were ok. I had the Elote and beans. ELOTE WAS GOOD. A little too watery. The beans were freash and ok as a side. I also got a piece of their $60 burban peacan pie. Not that sweet. Almost dry. Would have been good not great with a little whipped topping. All in all it was ok. If I'm on that side of town I would stop by. The people behind the counter were 5 star 🌟 great!

Didn't cook for Thanksgiving this year. Googled smoked turkey, and Eric's came up. Best holiday purchase so far. I got 2 lbs of sliced turkey and some brisket. It was all delicious. The carvers were very helpful when I needed help making my choice on portions and the cashiers were very friendly ast well!!! I'll be returning to try more on the menu. The printed reheating directions is a nice touch!

I look forward to eating here! The brisket is so flavorful with a mild spice that just screams Arizona BBQ. Staff is great and I really have to say this is my favorite BBQ even after taking a BBQ trip though Texas.

Kid-friendliness: No games but plenty of room in the seat yourself dining room or outside.

5 stars all the way! Great vibe and patio is spacious. The bbq is so fantastic and the smell is poppin! As soon as you walk in your treated by friendly staff and the menu is on the wall on butcher paper. By far some of the best bbq I've had in the valley.

We got 1/4 pound of brisket, pulled pork and 4 ribs with a side of potatoes salad and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was so cheesy and delicious. The potato salad I wouldn't suggest, it seemed to be missing something and wasn't good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for wheelchair
