🚗 The Ultimate Pit Stop: Why Chilleen’s on 17 is a Must-Stop on Your Arizona Road Trip
By Chilleen’s on 17
If you're cruising along Interstate 17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff, chances are you’ll need a break — and not just for gas. Whether you're escaping the city for a Sedona weekend, heading north for cooler temps, or road-tripping through Arizona’s rugged heart, Chilleen’s on 17 in Black Canyon City is the ultimate pit stop.
🍖 Real BBQ, Real Fast (But Worth Savoring)
Let’s be honest: you can grab a fast-food burger anywhere. But how often do you get to devour slow-smoked brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, or juicy pulled pork made with true passion and perfected over decades?
At Chilleen’s, we don’t just serve food — we serve flavor with soul. Our meats are smoked low and slow, our sauces are house-made, and our portions are hearty enough to fuel your entire journey (plus leftovers for the hotel fridge).
🌵 A Hidden Gem in the High Desert
Located just 45 minutes north of Phoenix and nestled in the scenic foothills, Black Canyon City offers a unique desert charm. When you pull off Exit 244 and head to Chilleen’s, you're not just getting BBQ — you’re getting a true slice of Arizona character.
Fun fact: Our spot has even been featured on national TV, when we were on Bar Rescue in 2013! But locals and seasoned travelers know — the real magic is in the food, the people, and the roadside vibes.
👨👩👧 Family-Owned, Traveler-Approved
