“Just got done eating here and it was amazing. Taste was perfect. Atmosphere was nice and quiet. I love the fact that thy actually put BBQ sauce on the meat. Everyplace I go to they never do that they let you do it which doesn’t make sense to me. Also when you pull up you can smell the smoke in the air. A++++“

“Excellent service, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere inside was great, warm, and inviting. All the sides were incredibly delicious. The meats were very good — I’m a bit of a harsh critic since I smoke my own barbecue at home, but this was good for a restaurant. Definitely a place I’d come back to again!“

“I came here with a group to experience all the activities of a Tuesday night. There was music bingo, line dancing (with lessons), and karaoke. The food was pretty good, and came out quickly. The waitress was a little inattentive but she may have had her hands full with tables. They seemed short staffed. Overall the atmosphere was welcoming to newcomers and return customers alike. The activities were engaging and without a fee. I'm definitely coming back, whether with this group or not.“

“Fall off the bone ribs! Original Sauce is fantastic. I'd definitely go again!“

“Top Black Eats in Phoenix an Absolute favorite! My favorite is the catfish, real authentic nice sized filets! Not that frozen packaged fish, Reggie’s fry’s REAL sea fish all the way through crispy and seasoned very good. Also the fried chicken is sooo good! You won’t need any sauce but their MILD sauce is the best, a savory ketchup set apart from other restaurants.“

“Pati was an amazing host!!! Food and service were amazing. Highly recommend“

“If you're ever in the South Phoenix Industrial area around lunch time, you definitely need to check out this hidden gem!!“

“Tucked deep within the Hilton resort grounds, Hole in Wall BBQ offers a casual and inviting atmosphere. With its unassuming name and reputation, I arrived with high expectations. While the experience was pleasant overall, the meal delivered a mix of highs and lows.

First, the setting. Despite ongoing construction that limits parking and requires a bit of navigation, the space is remarkably clean. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive. There was no wait to be seated, and the tables offer ample space for those with mobility challenges. These elements created a welcoming and relaxed environment to begin the evening.

The menu is modest, which often signals a focus on quality. I opted for the Smoked St. Louis Ribs with grilled vegetables and fries. The ribs arrived fall-off-the-bone tender, a promising start but lacked the depth of seasoning expected from a barbecue establishment. The sauce leaned heavily toward store-bought familiarity rather than a house-crafted blend with unique character.

The grilled vegetable side was notably underwhelming. Composed almost entirely of onions with a sparse showing of bell peppers, it missed the balance expected from the menu description. However, the fries and onion rings were both crisp and expertly executed; a highlight of the plate.

It is worth noting that the team is currently operating out of a food truck instead of a full-service kitchen. This certainly explains some of the constraints in execution. I chose not to rate this experience lower because of the genuinely pleasant atmosphere and the staff’s evident dedication to service.

Hole in Wall BBQ has potential. Once construction is complete and operations return to a traditional kitchen setup, I look forward to revisiting. There is heart behind the hospitality. With a few culinary adjustments, this could become a standout destination in Phoenix's BBQ scene.“

“Can't get enough of their baby back ribs, and their to go service is awesome. Usually dine in at Surprise location, which is always busy, but they have good bar service. But usually get it to go at their Tatum location. Not the best steaks in town, but worth the visit and price is good.“

“Fall off the bone greatness 😋“

“Dickey's Barbecue Pit dished up some delicious barbecue! The brisket was soft and flavorful, the ribs were nicely smoked, and the side dishes were great. The staff was nice, and the service was prompt. A terrific place for a hearty barbecue lunch. Definitely returning for more!“

“Review from 9/25 after 5pm.Tony was awesome. He helped me find a bank to use (the chase was closed but he told me a way to get inside from the hotel which I didn't know about) and he also walked me through the menu and how everything worked since it was my first time going to cupbop. Downloaded the app and will definitely be back!“

“The chicken fried with there amazing country gravy and lumpy mashed potatoes the way l love them..all there dinners are so good. Never had anything that was not excellent. The steaks are like eating butter. So tender unbelievable...“

“Went there for our anniversary. 2nd time there still was excellent!!!!“

“So tasty! Omgosh, the steak was melt in your mouth wonderful! The Mac and cheese was so creamy and I loved the top crunch! The strawberrie cream cheese was the best I EVER had. It was wonderful. Came for a day date to get away from the kids at school and was so pleasantly surprised! Will come back“

“Yes I highly recommend 👍👍“

“Love the food ♥️🥩great atmosphere“

“I am unable to recall why I had never eaten here before, and I came to realize that I have been wasting my money by going to other places. The Outlaw Ribeye is Exceptional! Our server Erick as well! My wife thought the light was an issue. However, as for myself everything was perfect. I highly recommend this location I will be returning here from now on.“

“Restaurant was delicious! I ordered the Platter #1 and it was enough for 2 people at least!“

“Ordered carry out food tray of sisig, lechon kawali, pork/chicken adobo and palabok for family lunch. Food portion on tray more than adequate. All taste good. Everyone enjoyed the Filipino food. Thank you.“

“Food was delicious!😋 Plan to visit again.“

“This is a lucky find. The bbq beef has the enduring flavour of umame. It’s no wonder people are lined up out the door; they’re addicted!! It’s really like that ; you want to order it again after all you got left is an empty plate. But who’s going to do that. Huh?“

“My Son & His Wife Took me here for a bday present WOW Killer food ill DEFINITELY BE COMING HERE 👍👍👍👍👍“

“I loved the entire experience! The wait staff was incredibly helpful and patient with us on our first visit. The aesthetic was so nice and modern. The food was amazing! A little pricier than I thought, but it was worth it! I’d happily visit again next I’m in the area!“

“Highly recommend this restaurant! The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you must try the Mac and cheese, collard greens and corn bread 🤤🔥🔥🔥“

“Delicious food but if you get the Bulgogi sushi make sure to order 2, they are rather small. Their Banchan is amazing too. I’m pretty sure I tried acorn jelly today (Dotori-muk) which I’ve wanted to try forever.“

“They have a Drive Thru what else is there to say 🤣🤣🤣“

“The food was delicious. Seasoned well and meat was to the bone delicious. I had catfish, green beans and potatoes, cabbage and cornbread. My mom had the BBQ rib tips and my little girl had the fried chicken with Cole slaw and Mac and cheese. I do recommend. Now if you are used to bland food, this place isn’t for you.“

“Good service ADN good food“

“I just had a half and half plate its 6 o'clock on a Tuesday, I ordered online for pick up and it was ready and waiting when I arrived. The Katsu and bbq beef was fresh and delicious and the rice and mac salad were great. The poor reviews I read before giving it a shot had me worried but I know now those people were probably already having a bad day and needed an outlet for their frustrations. I will likely come back again as I work nights in the area.“

“I love the Hawaiian bbq experience!“

“Good place to watch sports“
