Great place! Clean, stellar service. Donna was amazing. We had the Phatachos. Phat nachos, with the brisket. They were amazing. BBQ was great, Billiards were great, very well kept place. The owners truly care about this place, the pride shows when you walk in and smell the amazing smoke house delights. I highly recommend. Happy hour specials, friendly staff, great selection of craft beer.. I highly recommends Tank 7 which is a beer aged in a whiskey barrel, and it is SO supremely smooth. Served in a 7 OZ glass because it has some POWER, at 10% ABV. Get yourself a glass or two!

Found this hold in the wall KC style bbq!! Had to check it out while in the area! Definitely didn’t disappoint! We got the burnt ends and brisket with Mac n cheese, creamed corn, baked beans, potato salad. Everything was delicious!!

I’ve been told by a few different people to come try this place out since my family and I are from KCMO and are Chiefs fans (this is a Chiefs bar). The ambience is great, loved the decor and vibes, and lots of billiard tables. The food was just okay. It definitely didn’t compare to hometown KC BBQ. We ordered the burnt ends, combo platter and cheese curds. I’m not sure if it was because it’s Tuesday mid-day, but allot of the meat was dry. The cornbread, beans, Mac n cheese and cornbread were tasty, but I just wasn’t impressed with the pulled pork, burnt ends and brisket. We paid $26 for the combo platter so we could try a little bit of everything, received 1 rib(menu said 2). The platter just looked skimpy. The burnt ends were $22 (highest I’ve ever paid in any state) I also wish we would have known about the Tuesday taco special like maybe from our server, but I guess I didn’t see where that was posted. (Found out about it reading other reviews on here) Might come back to try that, play pool and watch a Chiefs game.

Ok, in all fairness, the atmosphere was fine. It’s a KC Chief’s bar, and I’m a Raiders fan, so… Best ribs in Cave Creek! Meaty and plentiful. In spite of there only being one server on a Friday night, she rocked it! We will definitely be going back!! Highly recommended this place.

Wonderful ambience, great food & wonderful service. We sampled the baked beans, they were good, though a little too sweet for my liking. Chopped brisket was juicy, beefy with just the right amount of fat mixed in. I think it was from the flat, so it wasn’t as fatty. Had the fried okra, they were great. Split a corn bread with my sister, moist, crumbly & slightly sweet.

!Amazing place! Showed up around 11 o’clock on a Thursday nobody there. We stayed up for about three hours. Fast and friendly service. Food was amazingly delicious! We had unlimited Tea. Staff very friendly eager to help and provide suggestions. Very clean establishment. Souvenirs are available in case you need something from this place.

I don’t normally review restaurants, but I can’t believe how badly I was ripped off. I just paid $30 for a pound of burnt ends that literally had no meat. It was all giant 2 inch cubes of fat. Cole slaw, okra, and corn bread muffins were great, but the meat was just plain bad. I wish I could have written a better review since they’re obviously trying. Who knows, maybe a bad night?
