BRISKET GRILLED CHEESE, yes please!!! Trying out this new BBQ place in Cave Creek, PHAT TURTLE BBQ! Plus they have 8 pool tables!!! Definitely coming back! 🥪❤️🐢🎱🍹 #phatturtlebbq #cavecreek #billiards

Great place! Clean, stellar service.
Donna was amazing.
We had the Phatachos.
Phat nachos, with the brisket.
They were amazing.
BBQ was great, Billiards were great, very well kept place.
The owners truly care about this place, the pride shows when you walk in and smell the amazing smoke house delights.
I highly recommend.
Happy hour specials, friendly staff, great selection of craft beer..
I highly recommends Tank 7 which is a beer aged in a whiskey barrel, and it is SO supremely smooth.
Served in a 7 OZ glass because it has some POWER, at 10% ABV.
Get yourself a glass or two!

From past visits, the food has gotten better.
Wednesday 3/8 I entered and stood at the register for over 10 minutes before a waitress appeared and told me it would be another couple of minutes.
The main dining area was about half filled so there were seated customers who were not attended to for over 10 minutes as well.
Having guests wait over 10 minutes to be seated is a poorly run business.
Regardless of staffing the business must function properly.
I won't be returning as there are plenty of options. It's interesting how every response from the owner is a criticism of the customer.
How about taking responsibility for the failures at you business.
There was no one to say anything too, we never observed a single waitress as we stood waiting.
And waiting 10 minutes does show patience. This is not the only review referencing unrealistic wait times. It may be time for the owner to take a moment and realize the shortcomings of their business.
This is how a business improves not blaming the customers or society.

Owner response

We will always push back on unfair and unfounded criticisms! We survived two pandemics a recession and a unbelievable inflation rate over the last 4 years.
We're here today because we constantly improve our business Jack! Well Jack, you have no idea to customers were already taken care of or not, unfair to judge! My guess is you could have easily said something as we have a couple servers there and one of them may have thought you were being held by the other. Unfortunately society has little patience these days and they run right to social media to try to damage your local family-owned company, sad Believe it or not restaurants get hit all at once sometimes! Unfortunately sometimes restaurants get hit all at once which was the case here Good luck and thanks for the one star and admitting that our food is excellent which reviews are based on
