    Plenty of pizza- fed 7 people with plenty of leftovers!

    Best BBQ in the White Mountains! Greeted first thing as you walk in- customer service is amazing! With its casual atmosphere, Avery's is the perfect restaurant for families and friends to enjoy a meal out together with something on the menu that everyone will enjoy. We dined in recently and enjoyed a delicious BBQ Meal. The meats were delicious and smoked to perfection. We also recently ordered three brick oven pizzas for takeout- the smoked BBQ chicken pizza was amazing- the perfect amount of BBQ sauce with delicious toppings. And the kids enjoyed the cheese and pepperoni. We all agreed that the brick oven is the best- perfectly baked with a slight char on the crust- all the flavors blended so well. Very filling!

    The great Yelp reviews led us to Avery's on a Tuesday evening. We were in the mood for meat and they delivered. The BBQ is ready good. The smoke flavor on the meat is forward and sharp. We were told they smoke with mesquite. The brisket had a deep smoke ring but was drier than I prefer. I thought the pulled pork was spot on. It was the beer battered onion rings that stole the show. They are big slices with crisp batter. There is a hint of beer taste. We washed all the meat down with drinks at the bar. Austin the bartender was friendly and professional. Avery's is definite our new favorite place in the White Mountains.

    1/2 order of onion rings

    I have heard of this place a couple of times. This is the first opportunity we've had to try it out. It was yummy. The only issue I had was that there wasn't enough bbq sauce on the meat. I didn't see any extra sauce off to the side. There was a container (empty) with remnants of diced onions, pickles & jalapeños. The 3 meats were moist & tender - just needed more sauce for my liking. Mac & cheese was on point. I wish we ordered a full order of onion rings - they were good!

    I don't like BBQ. Mostly, because of the smoke flavor and not fond of just meat. But hubs LOVES BBQ and wanted to stop here for lunch. So l, after reading Yelp reviews we pulled in to the large parking lot and went in. You go to the counter and the menu is printed above the window. They have fountain sodas and bottles in a tub with ice (including Mexican coke). There are limited non BBQ foods-salads and Mac & Cheese. Hubs wanted to try a couple of things but it was so much so I said I would share his. So Hubs got BBQ brisket and pulled pork with ranch beans. And I got a side of Mac & Cheese. The BBQ was excellent. It wasn't heavy smoke flavor and the meat was tender and delicious. Both of us enjoyed it. The ranch beans were good as well. The only thing I didn't like was the one thing I thought was safe-Mac & Cheese! It was dry and a solid in the cup. I only ate about half. Service was good. The menu was good for a BBQ place. And the food was some of the best we've had anywhere!! They won me over! I do recommend stopping by if you are near Springerville. We will definitely be back! And I will be looking forward to it!

    I was in Springerville this past weekend, using it as a base while hiking in the White Mountains. I stopped at Avery's Friday night because I recognized the name and the high ratings here at Yelp. Well, I'm no BBQ fan and didn't stop here for that. I stopped and then stayed for the beer! Yes, the beer. I like to try craft beer while on my road trips and I walked into Avery's Waterhole to see what was on tap. There were 12 beers on tap, and ten were craft beers, including three from Pinetop Brewing out of Pinetop 50 miles to the west. I ended up having three beers that night. Avery's is more than just BBQ and beer, though. I stayed two nights on the grounds, renting a spot in the RV park behind Avery's. Since I just had my Honda CR-V with no hook-ups, it was only $8 a night. It was very quiet there! Lots of cottonwoods to provide shade for the long RVs. The one shower stall had heat and hot water, but a sink that drained too slowly. That drain was my one negative experience in the two days I was at Avery's. Avery's also rents out U-Haul trucks and trailers. The restaurant and Waterhole are closed on Sundays, but the rest of the week the place stays open until 8:30, but Fridays is country dancing night and the parking lot is packed past 10pm. I enjoyed my experience at Avery's and would stop in there again. Every employee I talked with was topnotch. Maybe next time I'll even try the BBQ.

    We each got the pulled pork sandwich and loved it.

    We each got the pulled pork sandwich and loved it. Nice smoke flavor and the sauce is very good. $40.00 for 2 sandwiches with drinks (beer) and order of Onion rings.

    How do you notify patrons when you are closing the restaurant during regular hours to cater a private event?

    Keith, thank you for asking! We notify our guests when hours of operations are modified via Facebook, Instagram, on the phone if they call, or with signs at our establishment. Unfortunately due to the employee shortage, that is only getting worse,… Read more

    We paid in full for catering and confirmed multiple times that everything was scheduled. The day of…read morethe event, they called and canceled last minute due to illness. While that was extremely unfortunate, we understand that things happen, that alone wouldn't justify a one-star review. What does justify it is what happened next. They did not proactively offer a refund. We had to call them and request it. Even then, they acted surprised and said they would "consider" a partial refund. When we asked why only partial, they claimed it was because they had already purchased the food. So let me get this straight, you cancel on us the day of, and then expect to keep part of our money because of your internal costs? That's not how professional businesses operate. Completely unacceptable. Save yourself the frustration and go with someone else!

    We booked Big Rob's Catering for a company leadership retreat more than a month in advance. As…read morerequired, we paid a 50% deposit upfront. The day before the event, we attempted to pay the remaining balance by card, but it didn't go through--likely due to location. We immediately offered multiple other payment options. After discussing it we sent her a check. We were fully prepared to pay her in any form she preferred. On the morning of our event, we were notified that she was sick and would not be able to cater for the two days we had booked. We completely understand that illness happens, but when we asked if she had any backup plan, referrals, or anyone who could step in, she told us she had nothing to offer--no alternatives, no assistance--and that we would be left without food or services. Despite canceling on us the day of the event and providing no services whatsoever, she refused to return our full payment, stating the deposit was non-refundable. However, her contract clearly states that non-refundable deposits apply to client cancellations, not cancellations made by the caterer. There is no clause allowing her to retain any portion of the payment if she is the one who cancels. As a result, our company was left scrambling at the last minute to find food for a large group over two days, which caused unnecessary stress and disruption to an important event. Communication after the cancellation was also unprofessional. We were told she would not issue a full refund and were effectively told not to contact her further. Based on this experience, we would strongly caution others against using this company--especially for important or time-sensitive events where reliability, accountability, and professionalism matter.

I had made reservations in the bar to watch the NFL draft. They put us as far away from the smaller TV as they could and right next to the music speakers. We ordered Rye Old Fashioneds to start. They served us kiddie cherry juice and soda with a splash of rye. We complained that these were not old fashioneds and the bartender said that "that is how they make an Old Fashioned". So if we order fried chicken, would we get spaghetti and meatballs? This was ridiculous. The bartender did not offer to make us something else - he just walked away. We tried the raviolli special as a shared app. It was reheated frozen garbage on canned stewed tomatos. My friend had a brisket sandwich and I had the jalapeno burger for entres. Both were unremarkable and overpriced. We were both stomach sick for two days after eating here - must have been the ravioli "special". I cant imagine how I enjoyed our visit years ago. The owner sits in the dining room and greets guests as they come and go - friendly but wierd. He needs to fix his bad breath if he wants to talk to all the guests.
