The red weathervane out front reads "BBQ," which is all the signage a place like this needs. Walk past the giant mesquite smokers on your way in and you'll already be hungry before you hit the counter. This Gilbert BBQ shop does Texas-style brisket with a coarse peppercorn crust, served by the pound on tin trays at wooden picnic tables. Order early; the popular cuts sell out, and nobody drives out near Mesa Gateway Airport to settle for sides.

Mesquite-smoked prime brisket
“Mesquite-smoked prime brisket showcasing a large-grain peppercorn crust is a must, as is the juicy turkey breast marinated in apple juice and butter.”
Phoenix New Times, 2025 -
Turkey breast
“The juicy turkey breast, marinated in apple juice and butter, is another must-try.”
Phoenix New Times -
El General Patton
“Meats are served by the pound – in sandwiches such as the monster El General Patton that includes brisket, pulled pork, and sausage all on one roll, and on sampler platters that allow customers to try a little of everything.”
