So This week I am in Tucson Arizona working and everyone I asked about where a good Que joint was mentioned Brushfire BBQ Company on 22nd St. So after work Mr. Febus and I headed that way to sample their goods. It is located in a strip mall and has excellent lighting, walking up it looked very promising and when we got inside it was halfway full of people. We get in line to give out order and gawk and the enormous menu board. Mr. Febus orders the Prime Rib special, and I order a 2 meat platter and add 1 Beef Rib and 2 Pork Spare Ribs, along with my Brisket and Pulled Pork.  We went and sat down and waited for our food, Mr. Febus' Prime Rib was dropped off first and served in a wax paper lined basket with plastic utensils...HAHAHA, in my opinion, if you are gonna serve a great piece of meat like that do it right, way paper and plastic fork is just a mess, a hot mess at that. Needless to say Mr. Febus was disappointed in the size of his Prime Rib but said the flavor was good, he was not too pleased about the basket and wax paper either.

My Food Came and it LOOKED amazing(see pic below) my meal was fairly inexpensive, only $16.95 and i got to sample 4 meats, I must say, i am torn on the Review as they do a lot of the things i like, for example, Warm sauce is served on the side, BBQ rub is dusted over the meat and sides before served, wait staff was super friendly, however, i was disappointed in the Brisket and Pulled Pork, the pork seemed flavorless and no smoke and horribly dry, the brisket has good smoke and flavor but way over done, the Beef Rib had great flavor and smoke but the silver skin hadn't been peeled off and was like trying to chew through a car tire, the Pork Ribs were the highlight of the meal, they had won an award recently i heard for best ribs in the area, it had to be the pork ribs, they were tender, smokey, moist and done to perfection, the sauce I sampled was called ":Bold and Sweet" it was just that, though too much of it kinda overpowered the meat and the deliscous Rub Seasoning they used. I just wish everything else was as good as the spare ribs. I may give them one more chance before I leave Tucson this week, who knows though, Mr. Febus is obsessed with Mexican food this week so who knows if I will get more BBQ let alone Sushi one night...lol

All in All I would say if you are in Tucson and you crave Pork Spare Ribs, this place is Excellent, anything else I can't really give 2 thumbs up on except the staff. But hey, we all have our bad days so maybe another chance is deserved...til next time.
