text: We are from the midwest where you can find a barbeque spot in just about every corner So moving to Phoenix we actually had to research and find a place So we ended up in Scottsdale Old town at Big Earls nnFood I had the pulled pork sandwich and my husband had the grilled chicken and a sausage link None of the meat had that much flavor or juiciness that you come to expect from barbeque I did like the fries that came with my sandwich though nnService was fine They explained how AZ residents are not as familiar with barbeque so they infused alot of their food with the southwest like pulled pork sliders Drinks were always full and he checked up on us only when needed nnAmbiance was good at first easygoing and casual atmosphere a pig on the wall but there was a party on the other side of the restaurant that kept creeping to our side We practically had people leaning on our booth table and chatting it up The waitstaff tried to push the people back in the area but they kept on coming back out standing almost right on top of us while we eat nnOverall the food was average for BBQ in Phoenix I will try it again sometime
