Joe's Real BBQ

Fun place to go in downtown Gilbert. Best BBQ in Gilbert. Lots of sides. Fun atmosphere. Joe Johnston owns three restaurants that have been featured on Dives and Diners. The other is kitty-corner called Liberty Market which is a nice play on Americana food. He treats employees like family and you can tell.

The before security Joe's does not compare to the original Joe's on Gilbert road. If you are going to expand your business and lure your long time customers in, the service and food should be just like the original. The pulled pork today was fatty and swimming in grease. The employee preparing food probably shouldn't confirm that she's high when we were thinking she possibly could be as she took our order. Arrival service was slow with three people behind the counter and no one in front of us in line. Staff was friendly, but not the service or food quality I expect from Joe's BBQ.
