Can't Stop Smokin' BBQ

Was craving brisket, but West Alley BBQ in Chandler isn't open anymore, ☹️😭 tried this place, got it to go, first clue was the brisket was sitting in a water bath, when it was being cut, it looked dry, well, it was very dry.😣 The sauce; spicy BBQ, wasn't very delicious, I also got the jalapeno beans they had a nice heat and were tasty, the baked beans were good as well. Jalapeno corn bread was dry. Overall, very disappointed and it's too far to drive for just beans.

The BBQ wasn’t quite what I was looking for, the brisket didn’t blow me away and neither did the pulled pork. The service was great, and the atmosphere was great.

Placed an order through Doordash. No BBQ sauce was included. Guess they want you to order a bottle for a price. I am from the Deep South. BBQ is not BBQ without sauce (which should be included at no extra price.) Not good business sense. Ribs were tender and juicy. Brisket was tender, but tasted like liquid smoke. The cheese in the mac and cheese tasted like it was powdered. Mashed potatoes tasted fresh and homemade. Gravy was tasteless. I am not from this area. Will not order from this place again when back in the area in a couple of months on my business travels. Guess I will get a response with an excuse like all their other responses to bad reviews.

They have switched back to allowing you to walk down the line and choosing your foods directly instead of at the front counter. That was a switch they made to accommodate covid. I highly approve, as I have sometimes changed in my decision just by looking at the selections available. They also retired their serving robot. It was an interesting gimmick, but I prefer the personal touch. But food is still outstanding, and these 2 changes will get us back in there more often after cutting back on our visits.

I've had a lot of bar b q. Hands down my favorite! Smoked to perfection. I had the 3 meat combo with 2 sides. Ribs, brisket, smoked links. Couldn't resist a 5 star bowl if some dynamite peach cobbler. The atmosphere really adds to the experience.

Can’t Stop Smokin BBQ is what happens when meat gets the respect it deserves. I’m not even exaggerating when I say the brisket is life-changing. Like, sit down and reevaluate your priorities kind of good. Tender, smoky, juicy, and somehow tastes like it was cooked by someone who’s been doing this since birth. The tri tip? Unreal. I don’t even know how to describe it except to say I briefly considered writing it a thank you note. Chicken? Flawless. Perfectly cooked with amazing flavor.

And the sides. Oh man, the sides. Usually BBQ spots treat sides like an afterthought, but not here. Everything is delicious. I’d come back just for the jalapeno cornbread. That stuff is criminally good. It’s sweet, spicy, buttery, and if you don’t like it, you might be broken inside.

The staff is always on point. Friendly, fast, and they act like they actually enjoy being there, which makes the whole experience even better. The place itself has that cozy, no-frills BBQ joint feel where the focus is clearly on the food, not some fake rustic decor nonsense.

Easily five stars. No contest. This isn’t just one of my favorite BBQ joints, it’s the kind of place that ruins other BBQ for you. You’ll leave full, happy, and low-key wondering if it’s acceptable to come back later the same day.

Finally stopped in after years of driving by.
Smells incredible! Meat is great tasting. Mac side was a bit on the bland side.
Lots of choices. Specials are great prices.
Give it a try!
