text: I am originally from NC so needless to say I am incredibly picky about my BBQ For instance I feel that neither the sauce nor the smoke should overpower the meat No place in the valley has a true NC BBQ sauce but if you like thicker heavy BBQ sauces as opposed to the thinner vinegar based sauces that we have in NC then you will love Haps sauce I am of the opinion that smoke should complement the meat not overpower it and they absolutely achieve this expectation of mine You should not assume that I mean that their BBQ has no flavor it absolutely does and it is perfectly balancednnWith that said Haps is by far the best BBQ I have found in the valley Their ribs and pulled pork are spectacular They have a strong smoky flavor without overdoing the smoke as a lot of places do Their brisket is not as good as the ribs and pork but It is still better than most places I have tried in the Phoenix area This opinion has to do to with my pork biases We do not think highly of beef BBQ in NC I have tried their lamb as well which I was not a fan of but if you like beef BBQ you probably would love the brisket or lamb My only complaint is that they are not open on Sundays I highly recommend this place
