Best Barbecue Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"This lively destination in downtown Chandler serves Tennessee-style barbecue. Ribs are the main event, and not St. Louis-style but good old fatty baby back. Cooked over almond wood in smokers that simulate old-school pits, these ribs are fall-away tender and a bit sweet and tangy from a kiss of vinegar-based sauce. Pork is king here. Pulled, it’s uncommonly juicy. Enjoy it on a platter with other barbecue meats like brisket and turkey, or on a hearty sandwich with bologna and slaw. The bar offers an expansive selection of Tennessee whiskeys, and live music often fills the room." - Chris Malloy
