We eat her a lot. Definitely our go to place for BBQ but we are there Sunday (6/29/25) for an early dinner and now we're both sitting on the couch violently sick instead of sleeping.
This unfortunately marks the end of our run there and we'll have to find a new BBQ place. Real bummer

We celebrated my dear friends' birthday. This was my first time here, and I just fell in love with this place. Food was fantastic. Do yourself a favor and order the pineapple passion in the pineapple, totally worth it!

Vibe was great—modern steakhouse feel with quiet music and a relaxed atmosphere. Seating was a little awkward if you're into people watching, but not a dealbreaker.

Our server Jaden was excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and checked on us regularly. Drinks came out fast and were mostly well made.

Spicy Mango Margarita tasted just like a mangonada, with a great jalapeño back-burn. A bit too sweet for me, but still enjoyable.
Blue Rose Lemonade was refreshing, lightly tart, and the rosemary surprisingly worked.
Coconut Lime Mojito made me wish I was on a beach—sweet, tropical, and perfect with the fresh mint.
Bobby’s Mule was smoother than a regular mule, with the honey vanilla balancing it nicely.
Raspberry Sangria was fruity and easy drinking.
Q-Rolls were crispy, stuffed with smoky brisket, and paired well with the chipotle ranch—though the BBQ sauce was too sweet and flat.

Unfortunately, the BBQ itself was a big letdown. We ordered a three meat combo—beef ribs, brisket, pulled pork—with sausage, mac & cheese, and ranch beans. Everything came drenched in a sugary, store-bought-tasting sauce. No smoke ring, no dry rub, no distinct BBQ style. Pulled pork was the best of the bunch, brisket dried out fast, and the ribs were practically inedible—way too fatty and hard to eat.

Mac was cheesy but totally unseasoned. Ranch beans were oddly sweet. The whole plate just missed the mark completely.

That said, both Jaden and the manager Romi were great when we sent the food back. No complaints about service, drinks, or the Q-rolls—but the main event was a swing and a miss.

This was my second try after an underwhelming visit to the Biltmore location. The only reason I’d maybe go back is to try a steak, but expectations are low.

2/5 overall – great service, solid drinks, but the food was a major disappointment.

The food was really good here. I had the pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and broccoli, amazing. The pulled pork was juicy and flavorful. My boyfriend had the pulled pork sandwich, it was great as well. I had a spicy mango margarita that was delicious. The vibe was chill and I would definitely go again. And how could I forget the cornbread was scrumptious !

Food was ok and did not have good flavor.
If your charging over $50.00 for a ribeye dinner I expect it to be one of the best steaks I have ever eaten in my life. Very disappointed.
Mesa location is much more better

Pricing and meat quality is ok. Disappointed that refills on simple things like a refil of salt are a cost extra. Many other K BBQ are bottomless for all sides

Prices are very high, portions have shrunk. That is not the way to get "old" customers to return!

Always very good! Love the extras like cornbread served before the meal and mini donuts served after the meal.
The pulled pork was delicious, as were the shoe string fries.

It is Ok bbq but def not worth the parking hassle and wait at all. Very disappointed in the brisket. Very loud so do not expect to have a conversation with anyone if they are not sitting right next to you.
