One of the very few places here in town that serve BBQ “Beef” Ribs! I’ve driven past this place 100 times and finally decided to go and give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by that atmosphere, decor, top notice service (very rare lately) and food! This place has excellent smoked BBQ and the side dishes to compliment the food are just as good. They start off by giving you a cornbread dish for the table which is dense and delicious. I ordered the “half rack” which about 4 bones of the beef ribs with a side dish of the Jalapeño cheesy grits. It was only $19. The beef ribs had a slight smokey flavor and it fell right off the bone. The grits was also an excellent compliment to the ribs. Starlight is a quaint restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was attentive, engaging and entertaining keeping all customers happy. This is a must stop in place for food and drinks!

BBQ tastes vary and you like what you like…so this BBQ was not for me. It was not bad at all. Food came out hot and fast. Service was good. There are BBQ place in Phoenix area that fit my tastes, but not liked by all. If you would like the top 3, please let me know

The food is incredible. Very satisfying and tasty BBQ. The cocktails are nice too. The atmosphere is very upscale bar-like with large shared picnic tables outside and an actual bar inside. The servers were friendly but not super attentive. One of our ordered dishes never arrived, but we were so full that it didn’t matter.

Stopped by on a Sunday. From the outside it was kind of hard to tell they were open. Atmosphere was good. Good selection of spirits. Soft drinks were fountain type as was Ice which they could improve upon.

Great food here with the best complimentary cornbread. Happy Hour and daily specials, you can’t go wrong. We wanted to order everything off the menu, but figured we would just have to go back to try the rest of the food.

What’s a reasonable amount BBQ sauce for a delivery order? My order included 3 entries and a couple of expensive extra sides for about $100. Starlite included only 1 small 4oz BBQ container of house sauce.

This restaurant is so sweet and quaint. The people working here are so kind, far beyond the limits of Scottsdale. I was so impressed with how lovely the people working were and how quickly the food came out. I don’t eat a lot of BBQ often so I can’t make the best judgement call but I loved it and I’m sure you will too. The ambiance is nice and fun – we sat outside and it was cool and open with a big TV. I liked the picnic style tables but some may not. The staff is absolutely wonderful and gave the best suggestions, compliments and care – more than I can remember of any other place I’ve been in any recent time. I truly suggest checking them out.

Cute little hole-in-the-wall barbecue with a quaint pub atmosphere and excellent food. I got the pulled pork sandwich with the baked beans and it was delicious! Definitely give this place a try!

Best BBQ I have found in the area so far! The baby back ribs fell off the bone. The brisket was delicious. The cornbread is served in a cast iron skillet. 4 sauces to choose from to pair with the meal. The Mole was my favorite however to each their own. Draft Beers, Wine and Craft Cocktails. Great house old fashioned. The whiskey selection is one of the best I have seen. Really a cool little spot with great food and really awesome staff!
