We found this smokehouse by accident and boy are we glad. The food hit the spot. The place is bright, very clean, and the staff owner/wife were amazing. Excellent excellent customer service. We ordered a beef/pork ribs dinner with mac & cheese, Greens, sweet potatoes, and a mango/pineapple tea. It was delicious. The price was right and so were the portions. They did not disappoint. If you are in the area please stop by and be sure to tell a friend. Black-owned business with excellent food and customer service.
The smell hits you right away and it's a good one. The sliced chicken sandwich was a gem. It had a great smoky flavor and a mild bbq sauce on a decent hamburger bun. The Mac and cheese was sticky as I like it and top notch. Will be back.Food: 5/5
I wanted to share my experience with everyone. I've been telling sweet magnolias BBQ twice in the last two weeks. Both times were amazing. Let me start off with saying BBQ isn't usually my first choice but I was next door for work and the smell drew me in. My pulled pork sandwich was perfect. Good portion size and it seemed like it was meat straight from the smoker put on a bun and topped with sauce. It wasn't pulled meat that had been sitting in a pan of BBQ juice all day. My first visit I took the food to go but wanted to take my wife as she loves BBQ. We ate at the restaurant and the owner was very friendly. My wife made multiple comments about how the Mac and cheese was the best she's very had at a BBQ restaurant. I heard the owner say that had a spicy sauce too which I'll probably go back to try I would recommend giving them a try Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the bbq
My family is from Texas so we take our Que seriously. We haven’t been in Az but 3 weeks. We tried a couple others that where ok, but when I walked in this place it smelled good so I had a feeling it was about to be so yummy! I was NOT disappointed!!!! We got the magnolias sampler because we really couldn’t make up our minds on what we wanted to try first. The sweet lady behind the counter suggested we get that. She wasn’t wrong, it came with a little bit of everything and we added a gallon of tea and a gallon of lemonade and a slice each of peach cobbler cake which is never heard of but was sooooo good! It tasted like a summer at grandmas house surrounded by cousins on a Sunday after church! The sweet potatoes tasted like moms but don’t tell her I said that! The owner came out and he was so nice and the girl who packed our order was nice too. Over all I can say I can not wait to go back and when family comes to visit from home, I’m taking them here to eat!!
I ordered from their food truck when they came to my workplace for lunch recently. I chose the meat and Mac with chicken. It was really delicious but honestly a baked Mac and cheese would taste so much better and the sauce would be thicker. I was blown away by the flavor. I've never had smoked chicken taste so good. This is definitely one of my new top favorite food trucks. I also ordered a generous portion of peach cobbler for dessert and I devoured that in record time. I was completely stuffed and had instant food regret. Don't get me wrong, it was all delicious but next time I'm not ordering the large plate. I ate half my entree at lunch and the rest of it for dinner and I'm still feeling full. It is definitely worth giving a try and I can't wait until they come back again.
We are from the Midwest and have had a hard time finding great places. However this place gives us hope! They are a gem! The food was absolutely amazing! Every bite was better than the last and the food melted in your mouth. We had the pulled, chicken sandwich, sweet potatoes, Mac and cheese and the cornbread. The southern hospitality was given at its finest! Great people. We will definitely be coming back!
I came across the Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse food truck @Dayofthedog in Old Town this weekend. I was really excited when looking over the menu as I am a huge fan of smoked meat. We ordered the Trifecta, which is brisket, pulled pork, and sliced chicken with collard greens and a bun. We also added a hot link. The flavor was delicious, but it was not very much food for 27 dollars. There were only specks of brisket mixed in with the pulled pork instead of a full serving and the bun felt like it was purchased from a grocery store. I highly recommend the food, but I would go to the physical location instead of the food truck.
Oh my gawd!!! The best bbq I’ve ever had. Just amazing. Seriously go. Owner is incredibly friendly. I just can’t say enough just how delicious this was. I had the brisket sandwich and beans. Highly recommend. Prices are great too. I ate lunch and decided to get a large family dinner too. This food actually made me excited
The rib tips were good because they had plenty of meat with minimum fat and stuff. The hot link wasn't hot but it had good flavor. Overall all the bbq portion of the meal was good though next time I'll either ask for less sauce or sauce on the side. My sides were collard greens and peach cobbler. The greens were good but unfortunately the cobbler was the worst I've ever tasted. It has a weird cake texture to it which is definitely not traditional for peach cobbler, it wasn't wet/moist at all, it seemed more like some kind of peach cake instead of a peach cobbler. I think it was just a bad day for the cobbler though because it was really salty in places and there was only one peach in and it was burnt in one section on the bottom. I did like the portion size though! If this place was closer I would go back.
We have been customers for years, when the smoker used to be in the parking lot. Picked up an order tonight of baby back ribs and all of the meat that is usually well-smoked and flavorful was charred. Even the bones were charred. The meat was falling off of the bone because I think it had been siting in a hot tray too long. No coleslaw. Just wondering whether we are working with new owners who are rushing things a bit?
