Reviews for Joe's Real BBQ in Phoenix, AZ
$16 a drink get stuffed. Eating here ruined my Birthday. Overpriced, the chips that came with my sandwich were basically deep... fried cardboard. Literally no flavor. Shame on the bartender and all the other staff for working at such a rip off of a place#milehighwayrobbery.... Read more
This place is a joke! Not real bbq meat. It is steamed meat mixed with BBQ sauce. Small portions. Potato salad was... disgusting. Expensive and service is below poor. Employees were checked out. Say bye to $15 if you decide to eat here. Betteroptions are smashburger or panda express. Read more
I fly for a living. My nose can usually sniff out good BBQ, but this was the exception. This is by far the worst BBQ I have ever... had. The service was actually pleasant, prompt and the portions were decent. It?s simply the quality of the food that isterribly dissatisfying. Dry, Luke warm, flavorless, and extra fatty. Read more
IDK where the negative reviews are coming from, but my guy and I had a very pleasant experience. He was in the mood for BBQ and... Joe's Real BBQ delivered. We purchased two samplers and they were awesome. Meat fell right off the bones. The employees wereextremely knowledgeable and pleasant. Whenever I travel through PHX, I won't hesitate to stop by. It was an older gentleman andyoung lady who assisted us and they were phenomenal. Read more
This is probably the worst restaurant I?ve been to in a long time. You can?t expect excellent service from an airport... restaurant, but this place puts them on the top as the worst service. When I was in line to get food, the young gentleman infront of me said ?It?s my first time here what?s good? The server said the menu is behind me? after she took his order I waswaiting for her to acknowledge my presence and she said nothing for at 3 minutes and continue unwrapping the food and talking toher co-worker. At this time they already lost two possible customers because the service was slow. I finally said to her,?hey, there may I place my order?? And she looked at me as if I was bothering her because she was busy talking to her co-workersand said: ?what do you want?? I almost left, but I wanted to try this place. I?m flabbergasted how rude she was. When I paidanother person assisted me, and I asked if this place was a local restaurant or a national franchise, she said to me ?I don?tknow I just work here, but there is one in the town outside of the airport.? By this time they have lost a total of 7 customersbecause I was watching people leave since no one acknowledges their presence. Btw, during this time the food court was notbusy. You expect fast, accurate service when you are at the airport because time is of the essence. The food was dry, and Ihad the sampler platter, which includes sliced chicken breast, pulled pork, and ribs with two sides. The food was notdisplayed, but it didn?t come hot just warm, which I think the chicken became dry. The pulled pork was so stringy and dry andso as the roast. The ribs were good, and the sauce is excellent. I took a picture of the box so everyone can see how theypresented their food. Read more
Bad bbq. brisket was fatty and chewy. Turkey and sauce were decent. Bread was cold.
The before security Joe's does not compare to the original Joe's on Gilbert road. If you are going to expand your business and... lure your long time customers in, the service and food should be just like the original. The pulled pork today was fatty andswimming in grease. The employee preparing food probably shouldn't confirm that she's high when we were thinking she possiblycould be as she took our order. Arrival service was slow with three people behind the counter and no one in front of us in line.Staff was friendly, but not the service or food quality I expect from Joe's BBQ. Read more
Fun place to go in downtown Gilbert. Best BBQ in Gilbert. Lots of sides. Fun atmosphere. Joe Johnston owns three restaurants... that have been featured on Dives and Diners. The other is kitty-corner called Liberty Market which is a nice play on Americanafood. He treats employees like family and you can tell. Read more
