I was at work when the owners came in, and they were super friendly told me to go to here, I did and hands down the best rootbeer ive had in a while, the portions are massive easily filling and the midwest monster has such a good flavor and tenderness, I will be coming back multiple times.

I had tried Pork on a Fork years ago when it was at 20th street and Camelback and tried it again years later it was just as good. The Mac and cheese is very very cheesy and the Mac salad is good. I didn't care for the beans but I'm sure that's just a personal preference. The meat is good and you have several options. As with all BBQ it's not the cheapest meal but heck hardly anything is anymore. It's in an industrial area so that is surprising but the inside is nice and roomy. I would suggest giving them a try.

On the hunt for some amazing BBQ today and we hit the jackpot when we walked into Pork on a Fork. If I’d of just been driving by I might of missed this place located amongst an industrial park. Lucky for me I knew where I was headed. Good news for you if you are a passer by they have many signs near the street to hopefully get some customers. Parking lot size is decent and we didn’t have an issue. Once inside we were greeted instantly. I will admit I was a bit taken aback by the guy standing right in front of the entry ready to take an order; not behind a counter, but quite literally at the entrance. There is a good size menu on the wall above to help you choose. My eyes instantly locked on the Midwest Monster sandwich, it included shredded pork and brisket, included coleslaw and jalapeños, yes please. They have a regular size or a mini, I chose the mini. It came with two sides so I chose green beans and coleslaw. My husband chose the Big Boy meal which includes all four meats and two sides. He added Mac n cheese and baked beans. We were given a number and told they would bring everything to us. There is a fountain drink station up front then from there there is a hallway that leads you to a good size seating area. This is definitely a happening lunch spot. Everyone was all smiles and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Our food arrived quickly from who’d I assume was either the owner or manager. He was awesome, friendly and we even laughed at his comment about my husband daring to wear a white shirt into a bbq place. (Good news he didn’t spill a thing) . Not only did everything smell divine, but it was all so delicious. I can’t even put my finger on what was our favorite because we loved it all. I’d say front runners were the brisket which was still moist, Smokey flavor and every bite was phenomenal. I love pulled pork sandwiches, but this new take with the monster was what I didn’t know I’f been missing. The kick from the jalapeño and added brisket was amazing. The green beans by far were our fave, followed up by the coleslaw, baked beans then Mac n cheese. All were great, but we found the green beans best. We also noticed a pic with the owner and guy fieri from Diners, Drive in and Dives. The vibe was great, clean place, fast and friendly service and the food was too notch. We’re already talking about going back and trying so much more! My only regret it I didn’t have any left overs ha ha .

My hubby and I went here for the first time and it was so good! The customer service was THE BEST service I’ve had in a while! We told the lady we had never been there before and she went over and beyond to explain the menu! Everything we ordered was delicious and the brownie and ice cream was good too. Cornbread was perfect for me! Not too sweet and not too bland. My only negative experience was the bathroom needed a little attention. We will most definitely be going back! This place is huge and great for large gatherings and big families. My husband loved all the TVs to watch sports.

We often drive to Pork on the Fork off 19th Avenue and Deer Valley, and it’s always hard to decide what to order because everything is so good. Personally, I love the barbecue ribs and brisket, while my daughter enjoys it all. During this visit, there was a small mix-up with my order, but the staff immediately corrected it and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. I truly appreciate their genuine and quick response. We’ll definitely keep coming back!

Took my Aunt and her husband to try the BBQ. We had a little trouble finding the place. It smelled delicious before we even walked in. And, once inside, it smelled like heaven. The lady taking the orders was super funny and helpful, she was making everyone laugh. Even though the seating area has an "industrial vibe" it was still pleasant, and the decor was perfect for a BBQ place. The food came quickly, and it was so good and tender. The regular sauce was great, and so was the cornbread. This food reminded me of some of the great food I had during a recent trip to Houston. I even bought one of the funny T-shirts, it says, "World's Worst Vegan" on it.
