Maddie Jo’s BBQ

Ah, regrets. Gets me every time. If only we hadn't paid over $100 for flavorless, weird reheaty- compressed, over salty tasting ribs, very dry brisket, jarred pickles and bland, mushed potato salad. Sigh. Cole slaw was meh but did have a bit of unusual spicy flavor and it is responsible for the one star that this meal gets. Ironically it could have used some of the salt from the ribs. Stick with Caldwell County or little Miss barbecue for a good barbecue. It's worth the drive.

The Best BBQ! The food was so delicious and the owner was so nice and friendly. You definitely have to get the corn bread waffle.

The Food is really Good! Wednesday is senior's day! If you're a senior 55+ Wednesday is your day. But it doesn't matter food is good whatever your age!!

We are visiting from SoCal and our friends took us to this local small business. Get ready to have your taste buds explode because this husband and wife team have the best BBQ in Santan Valley, Arizona. Baby Back Ribs, loaded Mac and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, sausage, and chicken were mouth watering and finger licking good. For dessert, we had waffle cornbread that was to die for...yummy. Please make it a point to come and eat here when you are in town or even if you're a local. Phillip and his wife (owners) were great hosts. The atmosphere was very cozy and down to earth.

Excellent BBQ, best I've had since the mid-west. Small family run restaurant with friendly service and large portions. It's a bit of a trek from Chandler but worth the trip. Good (if basic) seating indoors and out.

This was extremely yummy! It's a little bit out there as far as distance but I highly recommend going there if you can. The food was delicious and it was even yummy as leftovers. They were friendly as well!

This is an update from my previous 2 star review. The owner of Maddie's contacted me immediately and rectified the problem I had with my order. A generous solution was presented by owner.

I looked on Yelp for a place to eat that had good reviews. Everyone thought BBQ sounded good. So, off to Maddie Jo's for dinner. Honesty, the owners were as great as the food. We arrived around 7pm. it was about a third full. Once we ordered and were seated we saw their take out was busy and the restaurant became half full. we had brisket for three of us and chicken for one. It was flavorful, tender and the sauce was delicious. Loved the potato salad, spicy slaw and spicy pickles. If we weren't visiting our friends who live here this would become a regular for us. I really enjoyed watching Phil and Christine interact with their customers. They take pride in their food. You must give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I came in for the second time. I really enjoy the food here. And it's close to home. And you won't find friendlier service. Kristina and Philip are husband and wife team who own this restaurant and go out of their way to make sure you are having a good experience. I had the pulled pork and a side of potato salad. They both were good. I have to remember to go in on Friday or Saturday to try the brisket. They only serve it on those days. The place is spotless. The food is served in a paper dish, and they use plastic utensils. The meat is so tender that this is not a problem. There is nothing worse than breaking your knife and fork as you try to cut your meat, or worse, your potato salad. Stop in and tell them Dale told you to try them out.

The owners are very friendly, personable and take pride in the product they deliver. Food was awesome. Definitely worth the trip again and again.Next visit I will have pics for your taste buds.
