Wednesday: Customer Appreciation Day (aka Free BBQ Day) at Joe’s Real BBQ

Gilbert, AZFor the 14th consecutive year, Joe’s Real BBQ in downtown Gilbert will be handing out approximately 5,000 free barbecue meals Wednesday – from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. – for its Customer Appreciation Day.

Everyone willing to wait in line (don’t worry, it moves fairly fast) will get a choice of pulled pork or chicken breast sandwich, fresh homemade coleslaw, BBQ Pit Beans, and a drink. There will be smaller-sized sandwiches available for children.

The usual rules still apply: Only one meal per person; you must be present to receive free meal; and no take out. No other menu items will be offered that day

This year, Joe’s also is hosting a book drive and customers are encouraged to drop off new or gently used books (that adults would enjoy) for Gilbert-based non-profit Loving Through Literacy. But book donation is not required to receive free meal.
