Best Barbecue Restaurants in Avondale

Our server, Grey, was absolutely fantastic! We had a dietary restriction due to religion, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He was also extremely kind and we just appreciated him so so much. Grey truly make us feel welcomed and we will be coming back for the excellent food and the wonderful service.

A Thanksgiving Feast to Remember at Gyu-Kaku! My daughter and I decided to switch things up this Thanksgiving and embark on a foodie adventure, and Gyu-Kaku turned out to be the perfect choice for our dinner. We shared the two-person Meat Lovers meal, and it was an absolute feast! The variety and quality of the meats were incredible. Each cut was tender, flavorful, and fun to grill right at our table. The meal included generous portions of beef short rib, skirt steak, pork belly, and chicken, all beautifully marinated with their signature sauces. The dipping sauces added even more layers of flavor, and we couldn’t decide which was our favorite! The sides complemented the meal perfectly—delicious rice, fresh veggies, and those umami-packed Gyu-Kaku salads were delightful additions. The ambiance was lively yet cozy, making it a fun and interactive dining experience for us both. What truly stood out was the friendly and attentive service. The staff made sure we had everything we needed and took the time to explain the grilling process, which added to the overall experience. For Thanksgiving, this was such a unique and memorable way to celebrate. Gyu-Kaku is perfect for foodies, families, or anyone who enjoys interactive dining and high-quality food. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Overall we enjoyed our meal (second visit for some of us). We specifically visited on Tuesday to take advantage of the half price Champagne and $1 oysters. It was unfortunate that by 8pm they had run out of oysters (especially as it was not that busy)....if you are going to have such a promotion you need to ensure customers can take advantage of it. The BBQ was all tasty and sides were good (one of my fellow diners commented that the sweet potato fries were amongst the best she's had). The drinks were also fun...from the cocktails to the whiskey flights! I'm sure we will be back....just hoping they have ample supply of oysters next time!

We were a little underwhelmed considering we had heard great things before coming here. Service was great and the cocktails we each had were amazing, but the food was just average.

such a fun experience , the food I had was the chilakiles and they were firee 🔥🔥 !!
