This restaurant was fantastic! Every course was delicious, the view is breathtaking, and our server was charming and attractive. We'll never forget what happened that night. Anything on top of our table is well worth the price. Food is one-of-a-kind and filling. You could end up trying foods you've never heard of or eaten before. Restaurant that comes highly recommended!

We got carryouts this year & everything was super awesome!! Never had their brisket before & best I’ve ever had ❤️

bbq and the atmosphere here is excellent. Staff is always nice even when they have a full house. The service was very friendly and attentive. The place has an awesome feel to it.

One of my favorite places for quality BBQ. Entered near ten, it was not crowded. I will be back with my relatives. Kinda of like a restaurant in Los Angeles I loved to visit.

Outstanding location for tasty BBQ. Visited Sat afternoon. Service treated us so kindly. Prices were decent.

bbq at this spot - very tasty. i love eating here. it has a great atmosphere.

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 Americana food. He treats employees like family and you can tell.

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 in front 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 was waiting for her to acknowledge my presence and she said nothing for at 3 minutes and continue unwrapping the food and talking to her 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-workers and said: “what do you want?” I almost left, but I wanted to try this place. I’m flabbergasted how rude she was. When I paid another person assisted me, and I asked if this place was a local restaurant or a national franchise, she said to me “I don’t know 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 customers because I was watching people leave since no one acknowledges their presence. Btw, during this time the food court was not busy. You expect fast, accurate service when you are at the airport because time is of the essence.The food was dry, and I had the sampler platter, which includes sliced chicken breast, pulled pork, and ribs with two sides. The food was not displayed, but it didn’t come hot just warm, which I think the chicken became dry. The pulled pork was so stringy and dry and so as the roast. The ribs were good, and the sauce is excellent. I took a picture of the box so everyone can see how they presented their food.

$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....

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. Better options are smashburger or panda express.
