Have been going here for years and its only gotten better with time. The BBQ Beef sandwiches are excellent and hot links even better. Oh and try the cobbler for dessert, you will love it!

Service was great. Ordered pulled pork and pulled chicken and we had no complaints from any of our guests. In fact, it disappeared pretty fast!

I was in the area, saw the reviews on Google and thought I'd stop by for quick lunch. It's a nice little restaurant not too big. It's more like we order at the counter they deliver to the counter. The service was good, quite fast but then again I ordered just a smoked lamb sandwich for myself. It was a good , but nothing too special. It was really saucy if you like it that way. If not, let them know to reduce it a bit. You can see the pic for your reference. The size also was just normal it was not really filling. They have a lot of other meat options and samplers. Definitely would like to try it again and try the other meat as well.

When we go Desert Botanical Gardens. We like to stop at Haps on the way. It's in a little strip mall at 48th and Washington. They have nice variety of BBQ dishes. Last time time I had hot link sandwich and she had pulled pork. So cover in the best BBQ sauce. We had potato salad and a slice of sweet potato pie. All of it was great. Meat is perfectly BBQ'd and they make sure you get a pile of meat on your sandwiches. Lots of people picking up orders to go. That's a first tell.

This place came as a on the spot recommendation from Ms. Pam who spotted Mike and I walking past it. Her words ´Oh nah, I can't let them walk by it' lol well I'm full to say the least. I got the spicy dog with a side of the beans, Mike got the smoked lamb sandwich which was a beast!! We also got the side of broccoli and cheese casserole and that was so good. This place was worth going into. Staff was nice and the place was clean I also noticed their grade of an A in the window. Check them out for sure! Thanks Ms. Pam!!

I ordered through Door Dash. My meal was great, excellent barbecue and sides meal. Would order again.

Was in the area for a meeting. I love this place. I got my pulled pork sandwhich and side of ribs. The food has been good all the time. The lady is very nice and remembers customers.

Stop in on a Friday evening around 6:00. Had my grandson and a French exchange student. We all ordered ribs. My grandson said that these ribs are much better than yours (grandpa's) I have to omit they the best ribs that I ever eat. Hap's is located in a new small strip mall along with some other small Resturant's. Service was quick. Plain tables but who cares when the food is so good. Clean restrooms Nice owner who even suggested ordering a full slab and splitting to save a few dollars. Give Hap's a try.

Hap's Pit BBQ has one of the best Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders in Phoenix (as I'm writing this, I realized I forgot to take a picture of my food) First off, it's real chicken, very meaty, which I truly appreciate. They have the choice of either a 3 piece or 5 piece. I usually order the 3 piece because it fills me up, but this visit I wanted to be greedy and ordered the 5 piece with fries. Mark, the owner, is such a nice person.
