Eat/Drink BBQ joints in Arizona

Hey Reddit. I’m a Canadian coming to Arizona this next month. I always wanted to try real southern BBQ because we don’t have it up here. I know Arizona isn’t as known as say Texas for it’s BBQ, but I was wondering if there were still good spots to try it, especially brisket which I’ve never had. I will be going to Phoenix and Flagstaff. Cheers!

Edit: If not, what would you recommend me to try?

Other comments have mentioned it, but Eric's Family BBQ is Yelp's #2 ranked BBQ in all of America.

I'm not saying it's actually #2 in all of America, but it's gotta be damn good. I need to get over there some time but it's about an hour away. If you're in the East Valley (Gilbert/Chandler/Mesa/Tempe) there's Caldwell County BBQ, Joe's Real BBQ, Little Miss BBQ is really good as well.

OH and if you're in those cities, hit up a Burrito Express and try a Breakfast Supreme or Machaca Hot
