text: Scottsdale BBQ Company was our last stop in Scottsdale on the way out of town We were driving to the airport when someone decided to look up a decent place for a late lunch Scottsdale BBQ Company showed up in our Yelp search and we decided to stop nnIt was a warm Tuesday afternoon about pm so naturally we had the run of the place Aside from women heading to the tanning salon and teenagers revving their engines in the parking lot the entire strip mall was empty nnWe ordered the food at the counter inside and chose to seat outside The outside seating area is a bit depressing but it does remind you of the good old down home cookin The plastic tables with ratty checkered tablecloths clamped by old binder clips you cannot make that stuff up Sitting on a plastic chair in the back of strip mall and watching a dog poop right in front of us the owner did apologize what could be more authentic than that nnI ordered their lunch special sliders pork brisket and chicken It did not come with any sides but I decided to pay apiece for Caesar salad and mac n cheese I also asked for a Diet Coke which turned out to be a can with a cup of ice BBQ takes time so we were prepared to wait Approximately minutes passed and two young ladies the owners daughters brought our food My salad was OK and so was my mac n cheese For I thought both were a good value The sliders were piled high with meat however they were not impressive Pulled pork was tender and flavorful but the brisket was dry as a bone It was quite obviously overcooked and looked almost stale It was dark and had a rough chewy texture No thanks The chicken was pretty bland although it was mostly white meat nnI went back inside for another Diet Coke and their dessert du jour the peach cobbler The cobbler had way too much cloves allspice something else in the filling but the crust was really good I spent on the sliders sides cans of soda and a cobbler It is a lot of food and a lot of calories but I would not call it a cheap meal nnSpeaking of calories we burned a lot of them trying to put back the top on our rental Jeep Wrangler in the parking lot nnQ How many college educated baseball fans does it take to put the top back on the Wrangler nA even if they have an owners manual but still have no idea what the heck they are doing
