“Seriously, now I need a Google rating option to give a 7 star review. Not kidding. How has this place been here for 6 years, owned by neighbors and I didn't know about it? This trip was life changing, no joke, here's why.The owners, Jacque and Demetrious ("D") are about the nicest, most warm, welcoming people you could meet. Their genuine passion for their restaurant shows in the extraordinary cleanliness of the entire place, the comfortable, chill, modern, light, homey atmosphere they created, the absolutely shocking, mind bending, high quality, taste, flavor, and love in every bite of their amazing food. For. Real. Read on!We tried some of everything on the menu, seriously, this review covers it all! Smoked chicken was moist, white meat, steaming, soft, flavorful, smoked perfectly and was awesome. Now, dip it in the Alabama White sauce, and it's over the top! Alabama White sauce you say? Ya, never heard of it either. It's insanely good, incredible. That's just one of the 8 home made sauces they offer! Ya, 8! Now I've been to dozens, maybe hundreds of bbq restaurants. Nearly all have a good sauce, or two, maybe even three, but that's rare. They are usually a spicier version of the first or an attempt at a different regional style. I swear, every single sauce here is fantastic, homemade, delicious, totally unique from the rest (how is that possible??) and amazing on virtually everything. A palette of sauce flavors I've never experienced. Could not be more sauce-impressed.Okay, more food. The pork belly and rib tips are insane! They glisten in the meaty, sweet, light sauce but the smoky flavor of the meet and fat steal the show in the best way. They are the best I've ever had anywhere. The brisket, oh man, the brisket! Bark? Who needs it when this brisket is sooo moist, tender, soft, smoky, absolutely perfect! Smoked in mesquite to absolute perfection and hand carved for each order. It's H.E.A.V.E.N! The pulled pork is ridiculously great! I've never had it like this. And I make it, in my own smoker, for 40, 50, 70 people at a time. The pulled pork here is better! It has light Caribbean jerk seasoning and with the smokiness of the meat and it being the juiciest I've ever had, it's the absolute best. I feel like I've been reborn and tasting all this bbq for the first time, it's ALL soo good!Sides. The Mac N Cheese, each twist is chewy, cheesy, gooey and insanely delicious, I liked the bowl! The beans, oh man, the beans! Check out all the pics I posted. See the glossy, bourbon color on those beans! They are gently smokey, meaty, fantastic. The sweet potato fries, mmmmm, lightly crispy, warm, soft on the inside, fried to perfection and delicious in every sauce, or by themself!!Ok, wing time. I'm ruined. I've had the same favorite wings for 15 years. All that changed today. Got the Arizona Spicy wings and the Tiger Stripe wings. Insane! Nuts! Both of them! Know why? Because the wings themselves are cooked 3 different ways before being sauced! Smoked, fried, finished on the grill! What??? Big, meaty, juicy, flavorful, crispy, saucy, oh man! Best. Wings. Ever!This is the best bbq in Arizona, seriously. I've had them all, I've done competition bbq, every dish here is mind blowing! I don't know how, but it's true. And no, I wasn't drinking! :-)How is it possible that every dish here, and no joke, we tried them all, are awesome?!?!?! How is it possible the owners are so friendly, kind, fun and cool? How is this place so comfortable with cool events like whiskey and cigar nights, Mexi-Que nights, jazz & R&B music nights,.... it's been here 6 years and I'm just hearing of it?I'm just glad I haven't spent another day not knowing of Word of Mouth Grill. My plan is to go often! I honestly can't recommend this place highly enough!Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly with atmosphere, food and drinks.“

“Went with a small group for lunch. All was great, and then the manager put our second round of drinks on hold until we finished the first. But then never released them to get made. None of us were showing any indications of having much of anything to drink. So I guess don't expect to be treated like you know your own responsibilities at lunchtime.Dietary restrictions: Our pescatarian colleague found plenty to order.“

“We tried this for the first time today. We only got one meal because we wanted to try it first. IT WAS PHENOMENAL. Sometimes food near closing is mediocre, dry, tasteless. This was not the case. Everything tasted so fresh and it was just what I needed. The beef ribs, Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes oh my goodness. I am so happy we found this establishment and very very glad to support, we will be back. Keep up the great work! :)“

“We've been here several times as a family & have always enjoyed what we ordered while we are here. Our absolute favorite is the burnt end pizza.Just from pulling up you can smell the amazing aromas coming from the restaurant. When you get inside you can order, grab a seat, and your food is brought to your table. They also have a bar to order drinks if you want something other than soda.Even my picky kids loved their food! The meats were fantastic, the pizza was some of the best we've had and the sides were pretty great as well. I highly suggest getting the corn bread when you go! The gooey cake is really sweet, we only ate about half of it so we weren't loaded down with sugar.Restaurant wise I thought the place felt cozy and the next time we go we discussed sitting in the outdoor area during nice weather. Their bathrooms are also clean and well taken care of. The only thing I could think of that might be a negative is the restaurant itself is a bit dark, even with light coming in from the front windows the lights inside could be a bit brighter since there are no windows along the side of the building or in the back. Their prices are affordable especially for the amount of food you are provided.“

“This place beats the place across the street by a landslide. It’s not even a debate at this point. Food is faster and better, and the deserts are amazing. Service doesn’t even compare. Yes they have a robot, but when you are greeted by a host/cashier who is as hospitable as this one is… it won’t matter in the slightest. Plus, I have to admit, the robot is pretty cool at first. The atmosphere is also perfect for a BBQ spot. Love it and I will be back again, and again, and again!!Vegetarian options: Green beans, carrots, mustard greens, coleslaw, baked potato, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, potato salad, macaroni salad, cornbread, cobbler, piesDietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: $2.99 kids meals after 5pm… AND it comes with a fountain drink!“

“The bartender seemed to be mostly concerned about one table and the hostess was nowhere to be found. Once we finally got a seat, the waitress was very nice and helpful.The food was good and the smells of the BBQ made the atmosphere better. Not sure if I’d come back here but it was good for a single visit to the area.“
