Trapp Haus BBQ

Trapp Haus BBQ first emerged along Downtown Phoenix’s Roosevelt Row in 2018. The rest is history. Since the beginning, barbecue devotees have descended to the Downtown Phoenix barbecue joint for pitmaster Phil Johnson’s award-winning fare, which ranges from family-style platters of hickory-smoked brisket, burnt ends, ribs, hot links, and whole chickens to sandwiches, salads, and bowls. Johnson’s approach to barbecue doesn’t fall in line with what most barbecue masters preach, his own methods are exactly that, his own methods. Johnson’s grilling style is what you would consider freestyle. His improvisational approach to ‘cue is inspired by uncommon flavors and he’s developed techniques that break the mold of barbecue. And, he must be doing something right. Johnson keeps nabbing accolades for his ‘cue. And folks keep coming back for more.
