BRISKET HEAVEN!Rhona and her crew WERE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!I tried looking for a BBQ place (I love brisket), I approached other places, but they made it sound like my company and I were going to be a bother or something. So I landed here at State 48 bbq prescott AZ. bc weather I called or went in, whoever I talked with were SO friendly ? I gathered my close friends and family for my 50th, and I am SO glad I had it here! The staff were sincerely friendly, wanting us to be comfortable and happy. My friends and family were pleasantly surprised with the fast service, beautiful decorated space in which to sit and eat, but the kicker? The food. Tender, moist, delicious, very filling and just down right yummmmmy!!!!I recommend this slice of heaven to anybody and everybody not only for the food, but for the good feels. These people actually care about their food and atmosphere - how do I know? Because it's been hours after my party, I'm home now, and I'm STILL talking about it to people that couldnt make today's event.This is my new 'brisket' place.THANK YOU STATE 48 BBQ!!!! we will be back!

Wow, where to start..?? Well, I've owned quite a few retail businesses in California before moving to Prescott 3 years ago. This was our first visit since the change of ownership to Jamaal and Rhona McCoy in the past months...We went with another couple. There was one family before us in line, so as we stood, waiting for 5 then 10 minutes to order, we heard the female employee, apologizing to the mother of the family for taking so long to get their order together.Apparently, the counter girl, in addition to taking the order, was also the chef responsible for expediting the food out of the kitchen too, while another employee just stood, helplessly watching this calamity...The female worker continued to ask the mother about the details of her order, until the mom, just shook her head, looking at us to apologize for the unnecessary delay...This went on for a few more minutes, and when she'd apparently finished, and we were finally at the counter to order, the employee started distractedly cleaning her station instead of offering to help us.So, I just jumped in and offered the most succinct order I could, and she said, "...and what other meat do you want..??" I'd described my order with the accompanying sides in detail and didn't understand what else she was looking for in addition, and she asked again...what other meats do you want..?? I repeated the entire order with all the necessary detail and she again asked ...what other meat do you want..??She repeated these exact words at least 5 times without looking at me at any point in this exchange. This left me stunned... Is she on drugs..??Anyway, I gave up and left the line as I was not having any success trying to place our order, and told my wife and friends who had already been sitting at a table, let's go, I can't seem to order anything here...This counter-girl had an attitude, and instead of being friendly and helping me order, she just argued with me during this exchange. We certainly won't be back, and as we're all 4 active in the town's many clubs and service organizations, we'll spread the word...

So good! We stopped in for lunch today and got ribs, tri tip, brisket, collard greens, and slaw. The portions were great ( had a lot of leftovers) and taste was delicious. We travel full time and eat BBQ in most cities we go to and very rarely are we impressed and return to most bbq spots- but we will absolutely return here. The ribs are some of the best we have had. HIGHLY recommend.

Grew up in Georgia where BBQ is always on the menu. This ranks right up there with some of the best I’ve tasted. Even the sides were delicious (had Mac and cheese & Cole slaw). Highly

Ate here for the first time. First, you’re greeted warmly. Second, if you are not sure what to get these 2 lovely ladies willHelp you decide. I ordered the pork ribs and brisket. Ribs were great and the brisket was super moist and very tender. There were a ton of sauce choices. All unique and super tasty. The sides all have a unique spin. Smoked mash potatoes and the off the charts apple sauce had me hooked.

Brisket was like a slab of grease and salt. Bread pudding smelled and tasted old. Charged for Mac&Cheese, received coleslaw instead without being asked.

This was my first time eating at this restaurant let me begin with I spent about 50+$ on the food and we got to go they missed 2 out of 4 corn bread and forgot to even put a bun on my sandwich and gave me the wrong bbq sauce even after the order was repeated to make sure it was correct. Whenever I had called about the order the server proceeded to argue with me and tell me to bring back the food (health code violation btw). When I did return to the location both the workers are rude raising their voices and saying they cannot fix the problem. This is ridiculous won’t even take a 4$ hit for them messing up.
Best BBQ I have ever
