Poor customer service. No greeting or goodbye. Food was barely warm. Jalapeno corn bread seemed like it was still defrosting. Brisket was cut the wrong way. Nothing very favorable including the Mac and cheese. Best thing was the spicy BBQ sauce. Will not be going back to this location.
Food was good, Tried both the brisket and pulled pork, I wish they had fountain drinks but cans and bottles will do, I will say the mac and cheese could have used more cheese but regardless I loved it all!
My husband and I wanted to try a new place and what better way to end the night with some BBQ. We stopped in, very nice little BBQ spot (the full menu restaurant is in Chandler)... My husband got the Sons of BBQ combo plate (Brisket, Pulled Pork, and 2 Ribs) and I chose the 4 Rib Plate.I must say its hands down the best BBQ Ive tasted here in AZ... Or even my the best Ive tasted ever! Ive always loved ribs and these were flavorful and fall off the bone delicious. They have some BBQ sauces but it doesnt even need it! And Ive always had bad luck with brisket... Other places theyve been dry and tough. But the brisket from Cant Stop Smokin BBQ will change your life. Its very flavorful, seasoned well, and breaks apart like butter. Its just so damn good!!I cannot wait to try more BBQ as well as visit the restaurant. My new favorite place for sure!!!
I was looking for something nearby that wasnt fast food. I was pleased to discover this place. Great brisket and mac n cheese! Great prices, great food, great service. Im deciding what to get next time!
I had bought a Groupon but then the business closed due to covid so my Groupon expired. I called and they said I could still use. I went in and tried to use and now they will not accept it. I have gone to this location multiple times with no issues except always being out of brisket. Will not be going back now.
My Girlfriend grabbed the Groupon on a whim and we decided to cash it in tonight.Decor - ☆☆☆Clean & modern, but just enough seating that a few parties of 4 would make it uncomfortable to dine in.Sauce - ☆☆☆ ½3 choices including sweet, zesty, and spicy. All three were well done, would be nice to see a mustard based sauce as well though; Zesty was our favorite.Meat - ☆☆☆ ¾We chose a half pound each of the chicken, sausage, carnitas, and brisket. Everything was smoked very well and the sauce choices simply and effectively complimented each meat. Would rate a solid 4, but the chicken was a touch dry, chalking that up to trucking the meat from Chandler to Mesa every morning; split decision on sausage v. brisket.Sides - ☆☆☆ ¼Grabbed the German inspired potato salad and the Mac N Cheese. Potato salad was good, definitely better than most places who try and pull off a non mayo base. Mac was subpar for us, very generic and had an interesting (not bad) finish.Bread - ☆☆☆Choice of a standard dinner roll or jalapeño cornbread muffin, both were good but nothing special; split decision again.Service / Knowledge of Product - ☆☆☆☆☆I forget the young mans name who took our order, but he was outstanding and made the entire experience worthwhile.Overall Score - ☆☆☆ ¾ The Groupon value definitely pushes the bang for buck over the edge, and I would highly recommend grabbing it while the deal lasts. We will definitely visit again and appreciate an alternative to our normal BBQ joint.
Their pulled pork is great, and I love the sauce. The coleslaw is the best restaurant made Ive had. You can tell that they really care about the food they are selling. They also care about customers.
Ordered the pulled pork and got all the sides, assuming they were just going to be tiny portions like other bbq places (and they were so cheap). I was surprised by how big the portions are! The sides are pretty big, definitely going to have a lot of leftovers. This is the best bbq I’ve ever tasted too. The pulled pork has so much flavor!
This has set the standard for BBQ in my eyes. Great food, good sized portions, and really personable staff. We are so glad they are open again!
This was my first time visiting this location. I have ordered delivery from the Chandler location before so I was excited when we got this location a mile from my house.Im so pleased to say the quality and delicious taste of the food is consistent! We ordered 1/2 pound of multiple meats and it wasnt even $20!! The SOB sauce is to DIE FOR!!I can say for a fact this is gonna be a regular spot to eat from now on.
Best Food hands down! Friendly customer service! You have yo try this bbq absolutely DELICIOUS !
Arrived into town this morning.The pulled pork sandwich is tasty good.
Terrific food. Worth the drive. Good value.
We met with friends at this restaurant for lunch. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was a winning. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we had a fantastic feeling. The meal was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed every moment and we will visit this place again. Keep it up.
Small but mighty!! Best BBQ I’ve ever had! Meat is fresh and not froze which you can taste the difference! Sides are excellent and the cobbler is to die for!! Manager is very helpful and generous! If you call in an order the day before you can choose from a larger meat selection as this is a satellite store as the food is made fresh from the parent store! Wish I lived closer as I would eat here weekly.
We have enjoyed the food here for years. BBQ is an art and these folks get it right. I have spent considerable time in Alabama, the Carolinas and elsewhere that endlessly work to perfect this cuisine. Cant Stop Smokin competes with the best of them. And the service is always friendly and welcoming. Keep up the good work folks. 👍
Sausage and brisket were very good. Their house bbq sauces weren’t my favorite part of the experience but they got the job done. Staff was helpful and quick!
First time here the other day. Was a bit let down by the brisket due to personal preferences. The pulled pork was amazing as well as the ribs. The star of the meal was the sauce, got 2 different ones. The darker sweeter of the 2 made the whole meal. It complemented the meat perfectly. The “spicy” one didn’t have any spice to it at all. 10/10 will be eating hear again!
The store I went to was small, but the BBQ sandwich was Big. Came in at 7pm, and they had no Brisket...yikes! But the chicken breast sandwich was smokey and the serving plentiful. I had the pulled pork and it was very tasty. Priced $, its a good place for a quick bbq bite.
Great service and great food!
Was just at the mesa location at 5:30 and was out of cold slaw and bake beans. Had the sons of bbq and a pulled pork sandwich. Wheat bun was hard but the food is good. Another couple came in and ordered sandwich combos. And another couple came in and ordered all the rest of the ribs so he had to put a sold out on the door. Hes the only one there working every time I come in. Hes very fast and nice.
Great BBQ brisket sandwich! Would highly recommend... we also enjoyed the peach cobbler ... YUM!!! Jackson provided great service too.
I still cant believe the flavor and the value of this place. Incredible! For less than $40, I fed 5 of us some of the tastiest BBQ I can remember. The brisket was smoky perfection and the crispy burnt ends are what dreams are made of. We also had the pulled pork that was really rich and tender. All of their sides really pair with their food, something most places take for granted. The owner is very accommodating and loves his BBQ, man. This place fills a giant hole in our local food scene. Everyone get over here!
Went for first time today. It wont be my last visit. The young lady behind the counter was very nice and enthusiastic. Had the pulled pork combo with mac salad and mac n cheese (yes double starch) the pork was moist and very tasty with a hint of spice and the wood they used (pecan?) And the BBQ sauce that you dont need to use was very tasty. You cant go wrong with this place.
Decided to grab lunch while I waited for a tire install - turned out to be the highlight of my day. Christian was super helpful in selecting the most delicious meats. Great lunch special, lean or moist cuts. 100% will be back to try everything else!!!
This place was REALLY good. Had the brisket, ribs, and coleslaw. All were amazing. The brisket was some of the best ever. Very moist and perfect smoke flavor. I forgot to get some sauce, but the meat stood on its own. Highly recommend this place!!!
Went in today to get a sandwich. Got a 1/2 lb brisket sandwich and 2 sides. That was one damned good sandwich. Sides were good too. Loved the beans. Definitely some good Q. The man working at around 230 ish today was nice and very personable. Will definitely frequent this place again!!!
Good place. Great food. Awesome people. Very comfortable atmosphere. Not smoky smelling. So if you have allergies its a wonderful place
We wanted to try something different from the regular bbq places. Stopped by 11-3-2018 and was greatly surprised. Great tasting brisket and ribs. I love it when it tastes great without adding sauces to it for flavor. Coleslaw and potato salad good to. Will definitely be back.
Had the sausage and the brisket. Would order both again. Beans were not overly spicy but had too much jalapeno flavor for my taste. Three flavors of sauce allow everyone to find their favorite.
Good food but call in the evening can close before posted scheduled hours
Showed up on a Monday 12:30pm and they were closed. Google needs to update the hours, who knows whether this location is still operating?
Very friendly. The food was pretty good. I wasnt a big fan of the potato salad, but the ribs & brisket are on point.
We were getting grocerys at Safeway in the same shopping plaza and could smell the BBQ wafting into the entire parking lot and into the store! These guys dont need flyers! We stopped in after our shopping trip and was greeted by a friendly guy behind the counter willing to share some delicious BBQ with us. We ended up getting a little bit of sausage, chicken, pulled pork and brisket. The meat was amazing and the sauces are great too! EVERYTHING was so juicy and tender you would not believe it. Hats off to the pitmaster; you guys know what youre doing!
Service was super fast and great food. Definitely unique flavor to other BBQ spots. Prices great too for what you get.
Was amazed at the quality. Anyone can make pulled pork but for me its the brisket that can either make or break a place. Pleasantly surprised how good it was, of course I can never say that its Texas quality, but I thoroughly enjoyed the food.
An amazing restaurant! Waitress was awesome! Food portions were decent!
Brisket was a touch gristy, but Good! Pulled pork tasty.. Jalapeno corn bresd almost as good as my Moms. Fair price and portions.
The smell the moment I walked in told me all I needed to know. The customer service was great. The meats were all moist and delicious
Awesome place for Barbecue Food, loved it reasonably priced great atmosphere would recommend to try it, Spicy & Sweet Sauce were delicious...🤗
Nice staff, good prices, and better food! If you like BBQ I definitely suggest giving this place a shot! 👍🏼
Great BBQ and lunch specials. Best brisket in town. The owner is super nice and will chat with you like an old friend.
Didnt even know this place was here. Stumbled across it while out looking for a lunch stop. Truely a craft BBQ. Meat smoked to perfection, BBQ sauce variety, and fast. BBQ sandwich lunch special 7.99 with side and drink. Already marked this place as a favorite. Definately stopping for lunch next time Im in the area.
The manager is very friendly. Love their rib pack. Delicious and tender. Clean and fast service.
The food is fantastic, the staff is amazing and the prices are great. They will need a bigger location soon. TheBest
If you dont mind flies on your food this is the place for you. I went here and while Im looking at the menu, I noticed their were flies on the cutting board eating the scraps that was left there. Once I placed my order I watched this guy put the brisket on the same cutting board WITH OUT CLEANING IT. I sat down thinking about what I should do, eat it or complain... while I was sitting down I noticed they have BBQ sauce bottles on the table with an opening for the sauce can goose out.... guess what... a fly was on it getting all saucy... So I ran the hell out of there and will never go back... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.. this place needs to be reported.
By far the best barbeque place around. We went there on a whim and we are now regular customers. The food is fabulous and very well-priced. They have great deals each day and Groupon deals available. The staff is so inviting and friendly. Usually the owner is the one running the register and he is hilarious! He makes folks feel welcome.
Best bbq I have EVER had. Famous Daves who?
Amazing food! Would definitely return.
This place has some of the best barbecue I have ever tasted. We will be back. I highly recommend you trying this place!
Those guys know how to put out good groceries.
Went in for BBQ, my 1st visit & OMG, best brisket Ive had ever! The sides were SO HOMEMADE & delicious...the apple cobbler was fabulous too. Amber is top notch & made my experience sooooo awesome. Im telling all my friends, this place is a MUST TRY!
This barbecue was wonderful. The girl that served us was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back.
Christian was very helpful. Food was great!
Really good food but always changing hours and closing early even though its posted til 8.I really like the food here, its great, but I dont understand why you cant stay open to your posted hours!? Its frustrating to waste a drive over there, and it adds up after happening multiple times. I understand you might run out of an item or 2 here and there, but the whole menu is gone? Repeatedly? This happened 2 times this week and the 5th time in the last 2 months. Cmon!
This plaza needed a bbq place. The food is good. The staff is friendly. Definitely worth a visit!
Very good ribs. Nice guy behind the counter. Ill be returning in the near future.
Their peach cobbler is the best pie I’ve ever had.
Amazing food and customer service I love this place
Excellent bbq scratch made sauces and sides decent prices and great service.. Love this place!!
Just stopped by and got the brisket sandwich for me and the pulled pork for my wife. Both were excellent as was the spicy bbq sauce. It great to see a new bbq restaurant here in Mesa. Will definitely be back soon.
Excellent food. Scott was very friendly and funny. Highly recommend. Will be back for sure!
Glad youre back!
The meat here is tender and so flavorful - you dont even need to add sauce, but we love their spicy bbq to add a little zing. Weve been several times in the last month and have been pleased every time.
This location has only been open as couple of months but it has great smoked meats get in early or your be hungry we it nothing to eat
Constantly closing early and running out of food...... the food delicious but barely get it because they arent fully prepped for the demand of BBQ here!
Great BBQ, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
Yum yum yum. Excellent pulled pork sandwich, great fixings area. Awesome people too.
This place is tooo good. Got pork ribs and brisket on one plate for $18 after taxes. They are sooo good got everything not one was bad.
Great bbq, moderately priced, and very nice staff make this an ideal place for a delicious meal!
Loved the brisket, nice and tender with a little fat... Didnt care of the baked beans. Will be ordering the brisket again.
Have the brisket and ribs. Both were excellent. Tasty, moist, fall apart tender. Will be back.
New place in town for your bbq taste...good prices and large portion..3 different kinds of sauces..give them a try....
Brisket is pretty good and their ribs. Good prices
Satellite location, limited menu. Although closer to home, I think the drive to Chandler is worth the additional menu options. Service was good.
This is the best place to get BBQ. Amazing prices even better food
Good service good food
Awsome best brisket this side of Mississippi
AMBER is above and beyond in customer service, if I could give her 10 stars I would!..She is so busy but so personable she makes you feel at home...The food was excellent..I highly recommend eating here!👍👍👍👍
Excellent food. We had it via uber eats. Will order again.
Delish!!! Just re located here from New York and would definitely return!
Good food and friendly staff.

Fast and friendly, great food
How did I not know yall were around the corner from me... I keep going to the Chandler location...
Great Mac and Cheese and the pulled pork is awesome!!
Great food and friendly staff
Nice guy....the brisket was dry with no flavor. Probably would have no reason to go back.
Great food good stafe
Great Barbeque!
Very good brisket and pulled pork
I’ve been smoking meats for years as a hobby and can honestly say this place is the real deal. A group of us went to Chandler location earlier this week for lunch. I like it so much I’m going to Mesa location near my home for dinner tonight. Don’t lose the magic!
Nice people, clean, and great BBQ!
Decent bbq great prices
Will be back there many times.
Best BBQ west of the Mississippi River!
Great BBQ and service!!
Will eat here again
