Big Daddy’s BBQ opens in Scottsdale

Three years ago, just as the economy was about to tank, the Mastro Restaurant Group sold its three high-end Valley restaurants: Mastro’s Steakhouse, City Hall Steakhouse and Ocean Club.


Now the same local team is returning to Scottsdale with a new concept, one more suitable for these leaner economic times. Forget expensive prime steaks and seafood – here comes hickory-smoked barbecue.


Big Daddy’s BBQ opens Monday, April 26, in the Shea Boulevard space that has housed Maloney’s, Where’s the Beef and Marco Polo Supper Club.


It’s an order-at-the-counter place, and everything on the menu is carefully priced under $20.


Look for baby rack ribs ($16.95, full rack) and beef ribs ($17.95, full rack), as well as plates of barbecue chicken ($7.95, half), brisket ($10.95), tri-tip ($10.95) and pulled pork ($10.95).


You’ll find the usual array of sides, including sweet potato fries ($2), macaroni and cheese ($2.50) and the signature creamed corn ($2.50) . Thirsty? There’s a full bar and a house brew, Big Daddy’s Honey Ale.


Details: Lunch and dinner, 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m.-midnight, Friday and Saturday. Big Daddy’s BBQ, 8608 E. Shea Blvd., Scottsdale. 480-609-0100.
