We are from KC and wanted to try the BBQ. It was ok because it was very different from what we are used to. Sweeter than normal and definitely different.

Tried this place because they have extensive gluten free options and they truly do!! Wings, fries and fried pickles just to name a very few!! Food was all good! We were there for happy hour and my only complaint is their wings are not on that menu! Ordered them anyway and they're fantastic! Nice dog friendly patio and interior!Parking: Starlite shares the parking with Fry's Food store so the parking is plentiful!
I keep giving it another chance, and I’m always sorry. It is walking distance to my condo. It’s very small and very quiet… The last time I went in there, I got sat and waited for almost 30 minutes with no one helping me. I almost had an existential crisis, thinking that somehow I was rendered invisible. There were four employees and approximately seven customers, and no one even offered me a glass of water….. and it’s not like I was sitting in a corner, because there are no corners. I got up and left, and no one even said anything to me. The time before that, I ordered the burger and it came out cold. And dry. Before that, I ordered some sort of pork dish, and it was mostly fat with hardly any meat at all… if you want to have a really lovely beautiful cocktail and pay 20 to 30% more than AZ 88 would charge you… By all means come here. It’s a super cute little restaurant and they have no clue how to handle more than a few people at a time. The quality is absolutely horrendous.

Decent atmosphere with the focal point being their large lit up bar area. Comfortable booth seats and bar stools. Picnic style outside seating as well. Friendly younger staff. Daily specials and an interesting assortment of menu items.I had the fried chicken sandwich with a side of baked Mac n cheese. Everything was cooked very well the chicken breading was perfectly salted and crispy but not too crunchy. The sandwich stayed together until the last bite. Juicy and flavorful but not sloppy. I would not hesitate to order this meal.

Good BBQ. I’m always happy to find a good BBQ place with veggies on the menu. The salad was good. Nice flavors. Unique cocktails. Chill and relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable prices. And the cornbread they brought out with the butter was stellar!

It's a fun place for bbq in Scottdale. We tried the brisket, ribs, pork, and several sides. Only the ribs were less than perfect but still worth the trip. You can eat inside or out. Great service, too.

The food and service were wonderful!My wife had the pulled pork with Mac n Cheese and I had beef brisket with baked beans. Everything were GREAT! The next time we are in Scottsdale we will definitely go back!
My cousin was in town from Colorado and he wanted barbecue. My brother looked up this place and suggested we go. I am totally not trying to sound snobby although it will probably come out that way, however, I have to be completely honest. Just so that everybody knows what they’re getting into and where they’re going especially if they’re not familiar with the area. This place is in Scottsdale and we live in Surprise. When we think of Scottsdale, we do think of fancy, expensive, etc. This place was right next to a subway in a grocery store parking lot. Although there were four of us and we all had one alcoholic drink with our dinner, plus one appetizer that we all shared, the bill was surprisingly just $157. So price not too bad. However , the food was not very good at all. Everybody was really nice and the restaurant and bathrooms are clean. But the place is really small and there’s literally one booth that a large family can sit at. Your next choice is to either sit at the small bar or these little tables that they have set up that are half booths and half two chairs. we tried the grilled cauliflower and that was just OK. It was served on a bed of arugula, I believe with some kind of salad dressing, which was odd. My brother and cousin did like their barbecue ribs, but my sister-in-law‘s burger looked pretty sad and my cat fish was horrible. It was super tough and whether I tried to cut it with a knife or pull it apart with my teeth, It was extremely tough,thin and chewy. The collard greens were OK but they were not very hot nor fresh. The corn bread was good but also not fresh and not epic. They gave us one mini cast-iron pan of that for four people, and never offered to bring any more back to the table. Alcoholic drinks were pretty good. I got the sangria and my sister-in-law got a strawberry margarita which they will make it your request. The boys had beers and those seemed to suffice. But all in all when I think of Scottsdale, I do not think of a dive like this , and again I feel really bad saying this because they were very nice over there but I have to be honest. If you’re looking for cheap bar food, for around $40 a person this may be for you, but it was not for me.
