New BBQ restaurant opens in former Sweet Tomatoes spot in Phoenix. Here's what's on the menu

Foley Ranch Boots & BBQ is now open in Phoenix.

It's the latest project by Clay Moizo and Don Talbott of Icon Hospitality Group, the team behind Scramble, Half Moon Sports Grill and Stir Crazy Comedy Club.

Foley Ranch Boots & BBQ is in Desert Ridge Marketplace at Deer Valley Drive and Tatum Boulevard. It's situated between BJ's and Barrio Queen, in a space formerly occupied by Sweet Tomatoes.

"We've been wanting to do a barbecue for 12 years and finally found the space," Moizo said.

The name, according to Moizo, was inspired by John Michael Foley's Ranch in Montana, which was established in 1947. Talbott used to work at the Foley family's ranch every summer growing up and "we wanted to translate that Montana hospitality and the amazing barbecue over to Foley Ranch," he said.

The 8,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor restaurant in Phoenix has a smokehouse, a bar top made of 8,000 bottle caps and VIP booths. It offers live country music and dancing.
