Rollin Smoke BBQ

Rollin Smoke BBQ in Arizona is hands down one of the best BBQ spots I’ve ever visited. I ordered the chopped BBQ sandwich, and it was absolutely packed with flavor. The meat was tender, juicy, and had just the right amount of smoky goodness. You could tell it was slow-cooked to perfection. They give you a generous portion too—it was piled high on a fresh, soft bun that held up perfectly without getting soggy. I paired it with their mac & cheese and baked beans, and both sides were fantastic—rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The BBQ sauces they offer on the side were a nice touch too, especially the tangy and spicy ones. The staff was super friendly, and the service was quick even though they were busy. It’s a relaxed, welcoming spot where you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out. The chopped BBQ alone is worth the trip!

Stopped by on a whim as I keep walking by here when going to panda express and I love BBQ and haven't been here since the Cafe Rio that it used to be closed up. Ordered pulled pork and fatty brisket with Mac and cheese and southern peach cobbler. Got home and tried it all. Brisket was fatty which was great, cut pretty thin for what it should be so the seasoning was not really there. Brisket was good, nothing amazing, but it was good. Pulled pork was decent, but nothing special. Mac and cheese was great! Good pepper kick and tasty, not too dry but not too cheesy either. The cobbler i had an issue with. Opened up and took a scoop into pretty much a cobbler soup and bam! Nice little curly white hair, either beard or.....you know. It happens i know, but still kinda lost my appetite after that one due to it. It honestly didnt even look really appealing anyway as it is 90% sauce with some peaches and 1 piece of crust. I tried the other one as i ordered the 16oz and they gave me two cups of it, and it was just soup, and not that good. For the hole in the wall this place is, I feel the current 4.3 star is about right, not great, but not horrible. Plenty of BBQ joints out here far better, and lots thatre far worse.

Restaurant Review The atmosphere was very welcoming. The service and staff were all kind and professional. 3 Star - Spare ribs were a little overdone and parts were difficult to chew. I did enjoy the flavor of bark on the ribs though. 3 Star - The brisket I am struggling with. The sauce on the brisket was sweet and with the burnt ends, just is sweet, followed by more sweet. There wasn’t much of a smoke ring. The bark was almost non-existent, looking and eating more like skin than a bark. The meat almost looked boiled. But it wasn’t dry really and wasn’t chewy either. It had a pretty decent flavor despite these things but nothing to make sure I come back for. 3 Star - the burnt ends, texture wise, were okay, but I don’t know if I’d categorize them as burnt ends. For my liking, the sauce on the burnt ends was way too sweet. I attempted adding other sauces to break through but it didn’t help. 4 Star- the Mac and cheese was really wonderful. Nice amount of pepper. It wasn’t too goopy but was just goopy enough. I really enjoyed the Mac. I tried each of their sauces, and I really wasn’t a huge fan of any of them. A little disappointing that the plates don’t come with drinks. I do have to say the amount of food I got for the price was pretty good. 3*** = Good but no separation from similar restaurants 4**** = Set themselves a part with unique food and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there!

This place is worth the stop. We order for work. After work, I had to go get some BBQ for my son. It was smoked to perfection. This is my new go to spot. The menu, has something for everyone. The ribs, the cornbread, yams, the chopped brisket was fire. The burnt tips melted in your mouth.

Coming from Kansas City I typically would skip BBQ but this place came highly recommended. Went with the Pit Special - fine meats and three sides - to gain a full range of flavors. Went with the brisket, chicken, rib tips, turkey and pork ribs for our meats and fried okra, baked beans with pulled pork, and mac & cheese. Quickly found out why they come so highly recommended. Even with no sauce the flavors were spot on. Saying that, grab a variety of the sauces. The spicy and mama’s sweet are my best recommendations. The meal was intended for two and by the time we were done, we still had plenty of leftovers for lunch tomorrow

I came across Rollin' Smoke BBQ on Instagram and took my BBQ-loving husband here for Father's Day. We've had a lot of BBQ (especially KC-style) and I can honestly say this is the best I have had so far in AZ! We were very impressed with the flavor and texture of most of the meat (the shredded chicken was good at the restaurant but not so great leftover and the spare ribs were a little tough), but the smoked turkey was my favorite. I only tried a few sides (loaded mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, corn nuggets and corn bread) and they were all delicious. I want to come back and try all of the sides + dessert! We liked all of the sauces but the sweet mama and mustard sauce were our favorites. We also loved that they had Kool-Aid on tap. We got one kids meal + the 5 meat platter that came with 3 sides + an extra side + 1 drink and our total was about $66, plus we made a second meal out of it the next night. We went on a Saturday when they opened at 11AM and it was not busy at all. I definitely recommend checking out this spot if you love BBQ! Much better fast casual BBQ than Dickey's IMO.

First time trying this restaurant. Sunday afternoon, it was empty and there was no enticing BBQ smell or any smoke outside. We were greeted immediately and the place was very clean. I ordered the baked potato with brisket and sour cream. It comes with beans and cheese sauce which I didn't want. Hubby ordered burnt ends sandwich and 2 sides. Corn bread and beans. Everything was served quickly and my potato was just as I ordered. The brisket didn't have any flavor, no visible spices, and no smoke ring (see picture). The consistency was more boiled than barbecue. The plain potato was great, actually baked vs microwaved. Temperature was warm. Hubby's sandwich was warm and the meat had no visible spices, nothing was burnt and had the consistency of being boiled and sauce added. The beans were sweet and the corn bread was inedible. We both tasted it and there was a chemical taste. Bathrooms were spotless. We will not be going back. Go to Eric's for real BBQ, get there early because they frequently sell out. Remember if there's no smoke there's probably no fire and that's what's required for good BBQ. 🔥

First time here for lunch today 8/7/25 and everything was 100% satisfying! The cashier ( forgot her name ) was very friendly and helpful. Then the food came and was delicious. The signs for decor were funny and pictures in restroom was hilarious. Will be back soon!!!
