Ranked in the Top 5 BBQ restaurants in the US by Yelp. Their brisket is mind blowing good. Only open for lunch, and usually a line starts to form before they open. They close when they sell out.

If you want to see the beauty of the desert, the Botanical Gardens is the place to do so. If the weather is warm we suggest going in the early morning or check their event calendar for night events. Beautiful cacti!
