waldo's bbq

very pleased. a great down home bbq spot, meat was cooked to perfection. i ordered the sampler plate and it came with brisket, bbq beef and chicken. the brisket was so tender and so juicy i couldnt stuff my face fast enough. the chicken was very and ill pass on it next time, but their bbq sauce made it enjoyable still.

their coleslaw and mac&cheese are deleious. i getting hungry just thinking about it and now i want to return.

theplaceis more of a family style joint and van get a bit loud, but not so loid enough to ruin ones mood....

still good. late sunday lunch.
"super sampler"combo, ribs, brisket, pit beef. cornbread & 2 all you can eat sides of your choice.
ribs ok, but i prefer famous daves for the smokiness & spices. brisket & beef, very good. fries excellent, hand cut.
lots of food, took half home for todays lunch!
priced reasonably, ok service.

this is the real thing, folks. thisplacereminds me of other good bbq joints..in texas, florida, louisiana. a little corny & grungy, but definitely tasty.
i had a sampler platter. brisket, pulled pork, hot link, fries & coleslaw. cornbread was brought to the table a couple minutes later. huge jar of good iced tea.
brisket was tasty, but not smoky enough for my taste.
pulled pork was great, just tasted like fresh pulled pork!
hot link was outstanding! perfect & delicious.
snappy, juicy and tasty.
fries were hand cut with a little skin left on, good.
cole slaw was fine.
cornbread...ive had better, but ok.
could only eat half the meal, competent waitress brought me a box.

i'm going back to try the ribs.

famous for their endless sides, waldo’s bbq calls themselves the “best barbecue & most affordable catering in arizona”! they also claim to be the biggest barbeque caterer in the whole state of arizona with three locations: show low, lake havasu city and mesa. we stopped by one evening to check out this quirky, eclectically decorated (amusing vintage signs and flying pinks on the ceiling) bbq house’s mesa location on east main street, and theplacewas packed with hungry customers. we ordered a few items including sweet and crispy yam fries, creamy house-made potato salad, freshly baked warm cornbread, and the pièce de résistance — baby back ribs. at twenty-five cents per piece, this moist and tasty   jalapeno cornbread was a steal. next to the cornbread were the  über tender baby back ribs. seasoned with a dry rub consisting of waldo’s secret spices and smoked so that the meat falls right off the bone, these flavorful baby back ribs were served with the rest

this is the worstplacei've ever eaten at. the food wasn't cooked properly and the buns were doughy.. i'll take advice from a sign on their wall "don't like our service--don't come back." avoid this place.
