Seriously, now I need a Google rating option to give a 7 star review. Not kidding. How has this place been here for 6 years, owned by neighbors and I didn't know about it? This trip was life changing, no joke, here's why.The owners, Jacque and Demetrious ("D") are about the nicest, most warm, welcoming people you could meet. Their genuine passion for their restaurant shows in the extraordinary cleanliness of the entire place, the comfortable, chill, modern, light, homey atmosphere they created, the absolutely shocking, mind bending, high quality, taste, flavor, and love in every bite of their amazing food. For. Real. Read on!We tried some of everything on the menu, seriously, this review covers it all! Smoked chicken was moist, white meat, steaming, soft, flavorful, smoked perfectly and was awesome. Now, dip it in the Alabama White sauce, and it's over the top! Alabama White sauce you say? Ya, never heard of it either. It's insanely good, incredible. That's just one of the 8 home made sauces they offer! Ya, 8! Now I've been to dozens, maybe hundreds of bbq restaurants. Nearly all have a good sauce, or two, maybe even three, but that's rare. They are usually a spicier version of the first or an attempt at a different regional style. I swear, every single sauce here is fantastic, homemade, delicious, totally unique from the rest (how is that possible??) and amazing on virtually everything. A palette of sauce flavors I've never experienced. Could not be more sauce-impressed.Okay, more food. The pork belly and rib tips are insane! They glisten in the meaty, sweet, light sauce but the smoky flavor of the meet and fat steal the show in the best way. They are the best I've ever had anywhere. The brisket, oh man, the brisket! Bark? Who needs it when this brisket is sooo moist, tender, soft, smoky, absolutely perfect! Smoked in mesquite to absolute perfection and hand carved for each order. It's H.E.A.V.E.N! The pulled pork is ridiculously great! I've never had it like this. And I make it, in my own smoker, for 40, 50, 70 people at a time. The pulled pork here is better! It has light Caribbean jerk seasoning and with the smokiness of the meat and it being the juiciest I've ever had, it's the absolute best. I feel like I've been reborn and tasting all this bbq for the first time, it's ALL soo good!Sides. The Mac N Cheese, each twist is chewy, cheesy, gooey and insanely delicious, I liked the bowl! The beans, oh man, the beans! Check out all the pics I posted. See the glossy, bourbon color on those beans! They are gently smokey, meaty, fantastic. The sweet potato fries, mmmmm, lightly crispy, warm, soft on the inside, fried to perfection and delicious in every sauce, or by themself!!Ok, wing time. I'm ruined. I've had the same favorite wings for 15 years. All that changed today. Got the Arizona Spicy wings and the Tiger Stripe wings. Insane! Nuts! Both of them! Know why? Because the wings themselves are cooked 3 different ways before being sauced! Smoked, fried, finished on the grill! What??? Big, meaty, juicy, flavorful, crispy, saucy, oh man! Best. Wings. Ever!This is the best bbq in Arizona, seriously. I've had them all, I've done competition bbq, every dish here is mind blowing! I don't know how, but it's true. And no, I wasn't drinking! :-)How is it possible that every dish here, and no joke, we tried them all, are awesome?!?!?! How is it possible the owners are so friendly, kind, fun and cool? How is this place so comfortable with cool events like whiskey and cigar nights, Mexi-Que nights, jazz & R&B music nights,.... it's been here 6 years and I'm just hearing of it?I'm just glad I haven't spent another day not knowing of Word of Mouth Grill. My plan is to go often! I honestly can't recommend this place highly enough!Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly with atmosphere, food and drinks.
This place is awesome, the wings are top tier, but the brisket tops it. The Tuesday tacos are amazing. Monthly events give the chef a creative and delicious outlet. Never disappointed when I eat

We catered from here for work. Believe me when I say I ate this entire plate. The perfect amount of smoke flavor, juicy and tender. Potato salad and corn is certainly made with love because it’s not your typical restaurant style. Pure home style. Will be ordering again. The flavors are perfect.

I ordered for delivery and 2 out of the 3 things I ordered were out. Instead of calling me to let me know, they accepted my payment and sent out 2 “substitutions” that don’t even compare. Oh and you can’t get a hold of anyone either. Had I have known I would’ve been ok going without the two sides and NO substitutions. Do better. I have food allergies so sending out unknown replacements is a TERRIBLE IDEA. Never ordering again and the 1 food choice I ordered was perfect with no sides to eat because I have no idea what you guys sent me.

I love the lunch special and it’s a good deal. . It’s very attractive and has outdoor seating and a comfortable dining room.
We absolutely loved our date night at word of mouth grill. We will be making this a regular outing. Meat was amazing, and doesn't even need the sauces. So tender.

My boyfriend's father mentioned Word of Mouth Grill so for a spontaneous date night we decided to stop in for dinner. OH. MY. GOSH. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Such a delightful find ?
We ended up at the Word of Mouth grill because our favorite place next door was full and we’ve been meaning to try it for a while now. My husband loved the ribs and I really enjoyed the Mac n cheese, tots and okra. You can tell they put a lot of love into the smoked meats! The atmosphere felt a little bland, but the family that runs the place is so friendly it more than made up for it. We will definitely be back for dine in or take out.Vegetarian options: They had a fake chicken sandwich that was good, but it came with nothing but a bun. I’d have liked more fixings included.
