Bobby Deans Hickory Bar-b-q

We stopped here on our way home from Showlow and had a delightful outdoor picnic. Got a 3 Meat plate to share with Grandma’s potato salad and crispy cucumber salad. The ribs had a nice bark, the brisket was juicy and the sausage had a perfect snap. Super nice folks running the place to boot!

Fabulous! We got two beef brisket sandwiches to go. It was lovely that the bread was on the side so it didn’t get soggy. The meat was to die for. Super tender and very very lean. I didn’t use the BBQ sauce as the meat was too perfect. I don’t know why I haven’t stopped here before. It was a beautiful evening and their little yard was very inviting. Cheers!

This is the best brisket I've had in years across California, Arizona, and even Texas. Staff was great and the outdoor seating is fantastic. 10/10. An absolute must stop if you're around Fri-Sun.

What a fantastic find!!! We stopped by on our way back into the valley, and holy smokes (pun intended)…. This was some of the BEST brisket we’ve had in quite some time. Usually lean brisket is over done, but not his!!! Perfectly tender and juicy… The macaroni salad and potato salad have bragging rights of their own, as they’re made in house and were equally incredible. The house made BBQ sauce was JUST right, not too sweet with the perfect amount of kick and savory flavor. We will absolutely be coming back! We got to sit in the shade with our dog, and was the perfect spot to break up our drive. The owner was very kind, personable, and we enjoyed the chat we had with him. The valley sure is missing out on a gem like this place!

We visited Bobby Dean's Barbeque today and tried the brisket; it was absolutely fantastic! The meat was tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of bark and juiciness. You can tell Bobby takes real pride in his craft; every bite was packed with rich, deep flavor. The portion was generous, and the potato salad complemented the brisket beautifully. Bobby himself was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re a barbeque lover, Bobby Dean's is definitely worth the roadside stop!
