text: On the positive side the young staff was very welcoming and friendly Unfortunately these kids lack the ability to execute real BBQ and the lack of technique and authenticity here is shameful As a rule I generally love ALL BBQ and respect anyone willing make a career out of it I have to break that rule for this place They seem to be at every big event in the east valley so they must spend more on marketingpromotions than anything else Clearly all of their smoke is in their mirrors not in their meatnnIn my first and last visit here tonight I ordered a sampler of pork beef and chicken All were served pulled and had the same grey and notsofresh appearance All meats were pulled out of metal hotel pans which must have been covered and sitting in simmering water all day As the meat was being served water was visibly dripping off of it I emphasize WATER not the meats natural juices The flavor reflected the watery appearance Any smoke flavor I am guessing mesquite had been washed away by water which is likely the result of sweating from the hotel pan The same water made the meat rubbery and just overall unpalatablennGood BBQ must have a good sauce and it must be served WARM Not only is the sauce served cold like ketchup it is very low quality In fact I would venture to guess it is bottled It is way too thick for a real BBQ fan and is suspiciously close in flavor and texture to Bill Johnsons Spicy BBQ saucennConsistent with the main dish the sides also disappoint Sweet potato fries looked like the frozen brand I buy at Costco The grilled vegetables were fresh but undercooked cooked in a fry pan not truly grilled The cornbread had a rubbery texture which may have simply been the result of sitting out all day
