We stopped here for lunch and ate too much. The place was buzzing. The meats are very flavorful and fall off the bone. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. This is a cafeteria style restaurant and a very popular one. Service is helpful and friendly. Free parking around back and the place is comfortable with extra seating outside. One of the best if not the best BBQ place in the valley. We highly recommend it, but bring your appetite or you will be bringing lots of leftovers home.

Joe’s Real BBQ in Chandler is the real deal. Friendly, efficient staff, a great old-school BBQ vibe, and consistently excellent food. The brisket and pulled pork are tender and flavorful, the sides are solid, and portions are generous. No gimmicks, just great barbecue done right. Highly recommended.

Very popular location with large tables and family style seating available. You stand in line to order cafeteria-style so food is served up immediately. Self service drinks and BBQ sauce available before (fridge) & after (fountain) checkout. Food was tasty but the meat I chose was pretty fatty.

Had a lovely lunch last week with friends. We got the tray that serves 4 people and it had a great selection to try. It was delicious and filled everyone up!

What a great place to celebrate a birthday! The line servers were so hospitable and friendly, exactly what you'd expect if the Walton's went for a meal on the town We ordered a 2 meat platter, with sliced brisket and ribs. Both were succulent, but that moist brisket is some of the best we've ever had. Great Americana ambiance with homemade BBQ sauce, and... Homemade Root Beer on fountain! The best root beer you'll find is right here, and they can serve it as a float. The Mac and cheese is tasty with a breadcrumb topping, and the potato salad was ok. If you have any room left in your breadbasket, then finish off your meal with a peach cobbler, a la mode. I was happier than a squealing pig running through a pen full of farmer's daughters.
