Awesome as always. We had the brisket sandwiches and they were gigantic. In fact, we didn’t even finish them and had to take some home. We had a side of macaroni and cheese which I believe they didn’t have the last time I was there and it was pretty good. My husband had the potato salad which had a little bit too much mustard for my taste (I like very little in mine) and today’s special was pork belly so we had to at least try some. We got a quarter of a pound and OMG it was so good! I’m also not typically a beer drinker but it’s hot outside and we had a couple of Shiner Bocks and it was delicious with the barbecue.

Tried this place for the first time, finally. Had read good reviews, a d it’s super close to home. They smoke their own meats so once they’re out, they may be out. Super casual atmosphere. Liked the blues music that came on. The seating is bench type, and there’s a decent amount. You order like at a cafeteria and it is made to order.

This place deserves more hype! My sister and her fiancé come here often and I finally had the chance to try it out and it did not disappoint. Everything we got was so tasteful so I’d recommend it to anyone. Loved that there was ample seating so it makes for a great family spot and date night too. They also have outdoor seating for nicer days. The staff was friendly and they shared some of their faves and best sellers. We got the jalapeño sausage, Mac, corn and brisket sandwich!

Our family’s first time to Eric’s…and we WILL be back! This place was fabulous! Fun, low key atmosphere, helpful, kind, & upbeat staff, great service, fun music being piped in, and amazing food…emphasizing A-MAZ-ING food! Portions are large, so plan accordingly. Our group of five ordered the brisket sandwich, pastrami sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, a pound of brisket, and sides of street corn and potato salad. We were all extremely satisfied, and we had to take lots home. They even have old school drinks like RC, Hires, and Big Red. Each of the meats were outstanding…we all shared and it was hard to pick a favorite. I have only been in the area two years now, but this quite possibly may be my new favorite eatery…of any food type. I highly recommend Eric’s to any & all bbq lovers! Eric’s will not disappoint.

First time here, not the last. Ordered the Shot Caller sandwich with brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. Stacked to the roof this one I must say. Ordered the side of Mac and cheese as well. This was Awesome, like it came right out of the oven, thick cheese just perfect! Cool selections of soda a plus. Thank You all!

Such great BBQ, the Shotcaller Sandwich is choice of the three meats, we didn’t eat the bread….we also got ribs, mac n cheese, beans, slaw and potato salad!!! Everything is home made and finger licking good!! Tip, wait will be 20 to 30 minutes and they will run out of meat so get there early. Congrats Eric for making fine BBQ in Arizona.

1/28/23: delicious, fast and great environment for families and big groups. Their bbq sauce is the kicker to the meal. It brings everything together. Very similar to a San Antonio, Texas place I love. You won’t regret it.

We were greeted with a huge smile at 645, when closing time is 7PM. Customer service was amazing! I believe it was the owner who explained all the food.We had the brisket sandwich, potato salad, elote and banana pudding. It’s the BEST BBQ we have had in Arizona. Beer was great! We will definitely be back and I’ll tell my friends!

On vacation from Maryland and we decided to try Eric’s. I had the pulled pork with mac n cheese. My friends had the Turkey, ribs, pastrami and the frijoles. Everything was on point. I have not had barbecue this good in a very long time. All of the meats were well seasoned and very moist. The turkey was so moist and flavorful.

Wow! Why didn’t I know about this place sooner? Don’t complain about the prices, BBQ costs $ & you will not regret spending your $ here. We tried the brisket and pulled pork sandwich. Sooo dang good. You must try the elote and Mac & Cheese. Oh and take a piece of the smoked Pecan pie. The atmosphere was like a backyard BBQ party, the music made it that much better. A must have, and let’s continue supporting this small business!
