Friday Fish Fry!
Good fish dinner, music was good. The DJ was a bit loud.
The Cowboy Burger
My husband had the Cowboy Burger and he keeps talking about how good it was! (He is very picky!) It's a big, juicy burger with a delicious bun and all the trimmings. The fries and pickle are perfect to go with it. I get the grilled quesadilla with chicken and it's always awesome, added loaded potato skins with it last time and they are the best!
Friday Fish Fry!
The best fish fry around the county!! We also get their ribs and burgers. Everything is great!!

Raun Alosi Band
Great band. Talented band!
Signature Baby Back Pork Ribs
The ribs, of course ,are outstanding; however, I was introduced to The Burger by Danny Zelisko ( who was having his Christmas party @ HBJ's )......the best burger I've ever had ( and I'm from New York ) !
Signature Baby Back Pork Ribs
It might be the lonely rack or a full plate with sides. It's all pretty good so I have to be sure and get some to go. My neighbors absolutely loved it. She asked me to bring her just one rib to try but the next day she called to say how happy she was that I gave her so many. She's picky and gave a 5 star rate. I'll have to come back soon.
Signature Baby Back Pork Ribs
I'd heard good things, but oh my goodness...the food was better than expected...it was fantastic...the bbq ribs were so tender the melted off the bone and tasted amazing. Definitely a new favorite place of mine to grab great food.
Gwen's Fried Chicken Sundays
It was just what I imagined a true southern fried chicken would taste like. It was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and perfectly seasoned. I hate it when a restaurant feels like they need to season the heck out of their food. This place let the chicken be the star. I'm just disappointed that I didn't have enough room for the peach cobbler.

I have been coming out to HBJ since I was a little girl. One of my favorite places. Coming out Friday May 3rd to celebrate my 47th birthday. Food, menu, staff and music are all the best out there!
The Herndon Brothers with J David Sloan
I have been a faithful guest at HBJ's for close to 20 years. A better live music bar in the Phoenix area cannot be found. There is a strong connection to the historic, now closed, Mr. Lucky's with the regular appearance of Jay David Sloan and the Herndon brothers. Over the years I have enjoyed drop in performances by Lyle Lovett, Toby Keith, Brooks and Dunn, Hank Williams, Jr., Jesse Colter, Phil Vassar, and many others. The family atmosphere of the hosts Ron and Ray Herndon is special and a continuation of the tradition started by their dear mother, Gwen. The ribs and burgers are the best in Scottsdale. A relaxing late afternoon and evening in Spring and Fall on the large patio can't be missed with live music and great service. HBJ's is one of the last of the family owned and operated historic bar and restaurants in the Phoenix area. There are very few left. Don't miss this very rare and special music and dining experience.

Love going to Handlebar J's! Food is great, drinks are cold and music and dancing is always the best!!! One of my favorite spots in Scottsdale!
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich
The flavor I enjoyed on this dish was like no other. The Pork so tender and juicy with flavor my taste buds went crazy! I couldn't get over how well-cooked the pork was to perfection. I also loved how the sauce complemented the pork to make you enjoy it even more!
The "J" Steak
Great absolutely fabulous
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich
My Margarita, sandwich, slaw & fries were pretty good; but after looking at the T-bone steak and a dinner salad -now that looked like a winner!
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich
Super fun, hard to beat for food, service MUSIC. See you on the dance Floor.
The Cowboy Burger
Great old school spot that has been around since the 60s. Good food staff and atmosphere.
Friday Fish Fry!
Only the former Mr. Lucky's on Grand Avenue had a better Friday fish fry!! We've tried ALL of them.....so we come to HBJ!!!
Signature Baby Back Pork Ribs

The Herndon Brothers with J David Sloan

12 oz Prime New York Steak
Yummy. 12oz NY!
Signature Baby Back Pork Ribs
Way to spicy
Signature BBQ Baby Back Riblets
The ribs were tender and tasty. It comes with a choice of sides, I chose the coleslaw and vegetable medley. Coleslaw was great, but my vegetable medley was the stage before el-Dante. I'd have these dishes again only I'd ask the vegetables be cooked.
