When you walk in you are immediately greeted by the smell of brisket in this cute and rustic restaurant. It’s a very no thrills BBQ with a small menu and cafeteria style service. The ribs were the best part of the meal as they were tender and flavorful. The coleslaw was a little bland and definitely needed a lot of salt and pepper added. The beans were okay but the fries were crispy and warm. If you are craving tender and juicy BBQ this is a good spot but the sides need some work.

So I’ve worked in cave creek for awhile and lived in AZ for 15 years and I never new Bryan’s was here, in saying that I was a pit master for a number of years and I am from Texas so I’m pretty picky when it comes to bbq. But Bryan’s is the real deal! Brisket was some of the best I’ve had in a long while and the ribs were up there with the best I’ve had and made. Side were delicious place was popping with people all smiles. I will definitely be back with some friends to show them!

The brisket was fantastic, the customer service was excellent (Donna) was friendly and helpful. This was my first time there. I was next door at western delights the owner (Peggy) is so helpful and friendly. She told me about Bryan’s bbq.

I had the chance to meet Bryan, the owner and culinary genius, behind this amazing hidden gem. He was an absolute pleasure to talk to. All the recipes used here are a special proprietary blend ingredients Bryan himself perfected over his years spent in the kitchen. Unfortunately for all us foodies out there, I’m sad to say he will be retiring quite soon. There will, however, be another BBQ pit taking over the location. They will be hard pressed to live up to the amazing food and great atmosphere Bryan’s has provided Cave Creek over these past years. Bryan’s will definitely be missed by this foodie.

It looked really good but the sauce and the beans were kinda bland and not sweet at all. The brisket was cooked perfect and very tender. The baked potato salad was good too. Their coleslaw is made with olives so I didn’t like it but others in my party said it was delicious.

Ordered the baked potato brisket. Potato was lukewarm. Meat was barely warm and not much of it. Let me add that they have the cheapest utensils in the world. I challenge anyone to try to eat their potato with those utensils. Good luck. No ranch as well. My wife ordered kids meal chicken. The chicken was slimy and cold. High prices not worth it. The pictures on the wall look good though. Maybe the chicken is different for adults?

I gave Brian’s BBQ three stars due to the inconsistency. I’ve had really good and not so good BBQ from there. They have several different options of meat and the brisket and pork is what seems to be hit and miss. The have great BBQ sauce and some good sides. It’s a little pricey but BBQ usually is. One regular meal with a beer and two kids chicken sandwich with fries $45

Recently visited because I heard it was closing soon and is known to be very good bbq. I ordered a brisket sandwich combo. Brisket was tender and juicy, bbq sauce was different. I was glad that the brisket was tender enough not to need alot of bbq sauce. I got the baked potato salad as a side, I probably should have went with fries. I didn’t really care for the sour creme flavor in the potato salad. It just didn’t meet my taste buds’ standard preference. Prices compared to the very small portion of sides didn’t match for me.

I really enjoyed this place. The customer service is great the options for sitting outside or inside I loved. I had not had a chili with this unique flavor. I am used to all chili’s tasking similar this one had a different delicious flavor. The brisket tender and delicious at this point I am sure you can tell I enjoyed this place definitely recommend!

The BBQ was very good, the sauce was a bit too vinegary. The brisket chili was good, a bit watery and a bit of a kick too. All the sauce had a subtle kick that creeps up on you. The fries are very good as well, however, the seasoning can be a bit too strong at times. Overall very good BBQ. Large portions and a fully loaded coke freestyle machine.
