I love the Thumb. Between the thumb and little Miss, it's hard to go wrong. The food is always excellent. They have an awesome breakfast burrito. Their meat platter is always really good. The meat is cooked to perfection. The restaurant is in a gas station with an eclectic assortment of gifts. It's actually pretty cool. Service is excellent. No complaints! Don't sleep on it!!

The Thumb BBQ provides a remarkable dining experience with flavorful, smoky dishes that leave a lasting impression. Whether you're in the mood for ribs, brisket, or sausages, there's something for every BBQ enthusiast. The relaxed atmosphere and welcoming service create the perfect setting for enjoying a hearty meal with friends or family. It's highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly satisfying and authentic barbecue experience!

WOW what a hidden gem near Westworld in Scottsdale. This spot has BBQ joint inside, as well as a fully stocked store with seasonal decorations, foods, gifts, etc. The outside is unsuspecting as a gas station and carwash is all you see. I believe i first saw The Thumb on Food network years ago, but happened to be in the area for Barrett Jackson and we decided to stop in for lunch. Best decision ever! The line was long and we waited for approximately 45 minutes. Several people in line kept saying "it's so worth it", so we waited. Time goes quick with all there is to see inside the gas station. The food was delicious. We both ordered hamburgers which came with chips. We also got soft drinks (they have a freestyle machine!) and a side of potato salad. ALSO they have good chip flavors to choose from (ie. Miss Vickie's dill pickle, etc.). Next time we will be back to try the BBQ. A must try if you're in the area!

Five thumbs up! Fun atmosphere, great BBQ - unique shops inside. Service is outstanding Worth a visit!

I really love the ambience of this location. Although it's in a gas station it's super cool and niche. Service was great from everyone. Wasn't super impressed with the food. I got the Oklahoma burger and while it was good, it wasn't outstanding. Too much cheese. Mac and cheese was not my style, but still good. Fries and onion rings were a touch too salty. I originally went there for ribs but they sold out at 2 pm and they don't start selling until noon, so get there early! I probably will return to try the actual BBQ but for now just a mid place in my book.

Fantastic Dining Experience! The food at The Thumb is great, but the service truly stands out! There are a lot of great people who work at The Thumb. Full stop AND If you're looking for exceptional service, look out for Everett. He is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and exudes positive energy. The Thumb is lucky to have such a stellar employee. Everet, you are destined for great things. Excellent job, sir! Kudos to The Thumb for hiring such an outstanding young man. And be careful someone might steal him away since he's destined for greatness

Talk about out of the way good food spot. Heard about this place from someone I follow on Insta. Great food. Great BBQ. Great service. And it's all inside of a gas station..! Yep. It's wild. But if you're looking for great BBQ, and are up near North Scottsdale area, this is a place to visit..!

It has been some time since we were here but we were in the area and ribs sounded good. The ribs were just as tasty as I remembered, although a little fatty. But we were able to scrape that layer off. The meat was tender and so flavorful. The loss of a star goes to the sides. We tried the mac & cheese, cheese and coleslaw since we loved them the first time. Fortunately, the coleslaw was too mayonnaise tasting, and the mac & cheese was very grainy and gritty. Coming back will definitely try burnt ends, just don't know what sided pick.

During arizona bike week we stopped in for dinner. A random find but so good. They were out of moist brisket, pulled pork and ribs, so we did the sausage, pulled chicken and lean brisket. All of it was so good. The mac and cheese was definitely fresh and the fries were cooked perfectly. The chicken was the star. Moist and super flavorful, with a kick but nothing too much! The brisket looked dry but was so good! And the andouille sausage was spicy but perfect! Also! Don't miss the shopping in the gas station! So many cute things! There is ice cream and coffee which we didn't try, but it's so cute! Worth a visit! Also, service was great!
