"Scott Holmes’s indoor-outdoor barbecue joint by the airport stars Central Texas-style meats — simple but sublime — cooked low and slow on giant offset smokers Holmes designed himself. Naturally, beef is king here, whether it’s fatty brisket, short rib, or pastrami, but everything is worth trying over several visits, including homemade sausage links, creamy macaroni and cheese, and the smoked pecan pie. The larger satellite location on Seventh Street features an enclosed patio. Best for: Fall-apart brisket and proving great barbecue exists in Phoenix." - McConnell Quinn
