This time those critics were spot on! <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">Hap&#8217;s captures you before the door with the wafting olfactory pleasing aroma of smoked meats that smell as if they&#8217;ve just come out of a real barbecue pit. You&#8217;re greeted by a staff obviously proud of their product&#8211;and for good reason. Unfortunately during my first visit, I couldn&#8217;t sample all of those good reasons, but what I did sample were some of the best hand-rubbed pork ribs I&#8217;ve had in many a year. They were meaty and succulent, absolutely finger-licking delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 455px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 455px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 455\/342;vertical-align: middle; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/usa\/barbecue\/Images\/Haps03.jpg\" alt=\"The interior at Hap's\" width=\"455\" height=\"342\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The interior at Hap&#8217;s<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">If you&#8217;re famished, the perfect cure for hunger is Hap&#8217;s meat sampler which features ribs and chicken along with three meats of your choosing. My choices have been pulled pork, ham, lamb and links all of which bordered on barbecue perfection. The lamb was ameliorated by Hap&#8217;s own mint sauce which was thinner than most but an excellent flavor complement to a lamb that had very little gaminess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">Also outstanding are the Old Settler beans which are an amalgam of different beans and bacon. The cornbread is true to its Southern heritage, an excellent complement for the ribs and beans. The ham, pulled pork and links are also superb. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">Hap&#8217;s could compete in the Texas barbecue arena and that&#8217;s a huge compliment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">Photos courtesy of Bill &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.woww-productions.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Roastmaster<\/span><\/a>&#8221; Resnik.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\">Hap&#8217;s Pit Barbecue<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>4801 East Washington<br \/>\n<strong>Phoenix, Arizona<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>LATEST VISIT<\/strong>: 28 April 2004<br \/>\n<strong># OF VISITS<\/strong>: 3<br \/>\n<strong>RATING<\/strong>: 20<br \/>\n<strong>COST<\/strong>: $$<br \/>\n<strong>BEST BET<\/strong>: Pork Ribs, Old Settler Beans, Ham, Lamb, Chicken<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good barbecue in Arizona?
