Amazing fire oven pizza and freshly made bbq with delicious bbq sauce! Best in SpringerVille. Great customer service and awesome bar to hangout play pool and darts. A must try

lisa J.

Dang this food was amazing! Service on point! Such a fun Vibe and they offer military discount. We will def be back'

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!

This darling place was a stop on my road trip and I'm so glad I did! The BBQ is Amazing, the hospitality just as good it's a full bar, restaurant, pool tables, and they are adding an outdoor deck and dance floor Met the new owners, Pete and Hesh, lovely people!! You need to stop in here!!

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.

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 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!

Gas is only two cents higher here than in town

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.

I live in Phoenix. This is not just five star for little ol Springerville. This is worthy of five stars if it were in the Valley too. We did the sampler, which had brisket, pulled pork, chicken. My hubs had the sweet and spicy smoked Asian wings (YUM). We also shared the chicken-hatch green chile Mac & cheese, and the pecan coleslaw. Ok, normally I find one thing and hone in but it would be impossible in this situation. EVERY single item is phenomenal, including the homemade bbq sauce. Also a great beer selection and Liz, who is one of the owners, is a super fun and friendly bartender. Great prices too. Don't pass this place up, you won't regret it!! read more

Really good barbecue and the owners are super friendly and very passionate about their craft. We tried the pulled pork sandwich which was so tender it melts in your mouth and the brisket sandwich was deliciously smoky with lots of flavor. The place is clean and remodeled and very westerny. The value is great I didn't find it overpriced at all as it's comparable to what you'd pay for a BBQ restaurant in the valley. I hope the locals patronize it to keep it open for business so when I'm visiting I can enjoy some good bbq. The sauce is delicious too. It's homemade and served warm ! read more

Pulled pork, mac and cheese, and corn on the cob were amazing. HOWEVER, there were 8 people preparing food in the back and not a single person wore a mask and there was no social distancing implemented. The ribs were over cooked and inedible. While most of the food was good, it isn't worth it to be unsafe and we won't be going back until after covid. read more

I'm so sorry that I have to mark down this BBQ spot that we LOVE -- the best BBQ I've had anywhere. The ambiance is great as well as the staff. Here's the dilemma: all of the employees (6-7?) are NOT wearing masks (as mandated during the pandemic) and yet nearly all of their customers are following the requirement. This is a highly unsafe environment. It puts all the employees, the customers, and their families at risk. Since we drive 40 miles from Pinetop to get their wonderful offerings, we stayed to do a pickup but will not return until management makes this a less risky place to go. read more

Four of us were on our way from Tucson to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and we felt a thirst coming on as we approached Springerville. The word Waterhole on the front of Avery's caught our attention, so we stopped. We were greeted and served by the wonderful Liz Avery, and we immediately felt welcome. We were also delighted by the charming decor. We quenched our thirst, but we were having such a pleasant time we decided to stay for lunch. We were glad of that because the food is excellent. After lunch I went to the kitchen to thank the staff, and I met Lance Avery who was working behind the counter. He is just as cordial as his lovely wife. There is an entertaining sign at the entrance that announces the "No Fighting" policy. We were happy to comply. read more

We stopped here to top off our gas tank. But after stepping inside and smelling the heavenly aroma of smoked meat, leaving without tasting was not an option. My wife and I split a brisket sandwich. The brisket was perfect, and the bun must have been toasted just enough to add some crunch to the moist, tender beef. So we went back for an order of pulled pork. Equally delightful. Springerville is probably not on the main road to anywhere, but Avery's is worth a side trip, if you are anywhere nearby. The service was friendly, the smoked meat was totally off-scale. There is a nice looking bar, but it was too early in the day to try it out. And don't let the images of the pool tables lead you to conclude it's (just) a pool hall. Go here for the fabulous meat. Bars and pool halls are relatively easy to find, smoked meat this good is worth going out of your way for. read more

Driving through Arizona to New Mexico can seem like a long, boring, drive! But it doesn't have to be! If you stop at Avery's bbq. I've made this drive a hundred times and never stopped here for some reason. My first time here was father's day 2016. What a complete surprise it was to my wife and I. We eat their take on a Ruben sandwich and it was awesome! The brisket in our sandwiches were as soft as a hot marshmallow. Topped with coleslaw and sourkraut threw it over the top. Their badder dipped fries were amazing as well. The staff were very nice, friendly, and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and stop here for something to eat, you won't regret it. read more

This place is delicicious! Stumbled upon it when we stopped to use the very clean restrooms in the attached convience store. Smelled great so decided to grab lunch while we were soft after looking up the reviews on Yelp. It was deserving of its five star rating. Fall off the bone baby backs, fall apart brisket, good pulled chicken and the little buckaroo corn dogs tasted homemade even if they weren't. Sadly they were out of beans, but the mac and cheese was AMAZING! Inwas worried about the carolina style sauce, not a fan of too sweet sauce, but this was a great balance with enough savory.

Ties with Little Miss Barbecue (Phoenix) for number one BBQ in Arizona. I tried the brisket which is the make-or-break determinant of whether a grillmaster knows his or her stuff. Outstanding! Tender, juicy, and flavorful. Compares favorably with Coopers and Buzzie's in West Texas. And the sauce is excellent! I also appreciated the friendly service. Basically it's a destination. I'll be recommending this to all my friends in Northern Arizona. read more

I can't believe I forgot to take pics of our food! How dare I! So my hubby and myself as well as another couple drove up from Phoenix to cut down our Christmas trees. We were allll starving by the time we got to town. I went on yelp and Avery's was the top restaurant in the area with about 80+ 5 reviews. Well who's passing up this good bbq when in town? We sure weren't! Im from SC so the Crazy Carolina pulled pork caught my attention immediately. This with my corn on the cob took me back home for a few seconds. The pulled pork was so juicy and tender. Best spent $10 that day. My husband ordered 1/4 lb of pork and beef. He's quite the foodie and can be a harsh food critic. He was impressed. The other couple with us order the pork and beef as well as a salad. There were absolutely no complaints. And what's better than 5 star bbq in a family owned restaurant? The customer service! You bet cha! They were attentive and very hospitable. Thank you for filling our bellies Avery's! As we continue this tradition each Christmas, we'll be sure to make you a part of it! read more

History

Established in 2013.

Looking for a change of pace & a quiet town to start off married life, Lance & Liz Avery moved from northern Colorado to the town of Springerville. Bringing awesome slow smoked barbecue to this area of the White Mountains was the brainchild of John & his son Lance Avery. The building existed, but the business had been shut down off & on for many years. After a major renovation, training with the best barbecue restaurant in Phoenix, and a whole lot of elbow grease, the business opened in stages. The 'Chuckwagon' convenience store & fuel station opened in September of 2013, the 'Waterhole' Bar opened in November, followed by 'Avery's -BQ' in January of 2014. Avery's RV Park has been open for business since the property was purchased. Since then, the Avery's & their staff, have been offering consistency & quality with a simple menu that revolves around slow, smoked-to-perfection meats. Locals & travelers alike, agree that this small restaurant doesn't look like much, but sure delivers!

We asked our waitress how big was the brisket platter she said she has to ask and went away. 10 minutes later we had to send a search party. We ended up ordering a brisket platter with fries, cornbread and coleslaw. When the food arrived we were surprised to see the way the brisket was sliced, however, it was very tender and in combination with their BBQ sauce it was rather good. Fries and coleslaw were meh. For dessert we got an apple cobbler. She warned us that it will take 10 minutes to prepare. The cobbler however was pretty disappointing. The dough was ether made with salty butter or a bunch of salt was added to it by mistake. I doubt I will ever go back.

This place fits that profile pretty well. We walked in and heads turned to see what was coming through the door and after a moment blank looks turned to smiles and we were greeted and seated. After checking through the menu it was decided that we would eat here and glad we did. I ordered the New Mexico breakfast - tamale, Chile relleno, beans, tortillas, and topped with two eggs. I asked and received both the red and green Chile sauce. The green was full of flavor and had a little kick, the red was a deep flavored sauce, not to spicy. My friend had a cup of oatmeal and a Chile replenish with green sauce, and basically licked his plate clean! Service was good, the place was busy but Haley managed to treat us very well and attend to our needs and wants, despite the restaurant being out of a few things, namely champagne to make the mimosas :( In summary, good food, friendly atmosphere, good service, fair prices.

I thought I was full, till I stepped into the Red Barn (on site) for ice cream. Also amazing!

Creative Comfort Food and Outstanding Service in Snowflake…read more We stumbled upon Streets on Main during a quick Yelp search one evening--and we're so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, it was clear the staff genuinely enjoyed working there and cared about our experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and upbeat. The menu offers a wide variety of creative dishes. My wife ordered the Fried Pickle Burger, which came with a unique tomatillo ranch sauce--it was both inventive and delicious. I had the Nashville Hot BBQ Chicken Sandwich special, and it lived up to the name: full of flavor with just the right kick. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Since it was Mother's Day weekend, they were offering a complimentary dessert with a meal for all mothers. My wife chose the peach cobbler, and it was not only generously portioned but also absolutely delicious. A sign inside proudly proclaims they've been voted Best of the White Mountains for the past four years. Based on our visit, I have no doubt that streak will continue. The only (minor) disappointment was that they don't yet serve beer or wine, though the staff mentioned they're looking into adding it in the future. Highly recommended for anyone passing through Snowflake or local to the area--you won't be disappointed.

Both as an employee and someone that loves yummy food I would highly recommend you come to Avery's. On the employee side I see the attention and detail they put into putting out quality food along with the countless hours to do so. I see how the owners make each one of us in our melting pot of a kitchen feel seen and cared for. Working under owners that ask us about our lives, celebrate our birthdays, grab us a treat on a hot day, throw a thank you party at the end of summer, and just genuinely care. I see the priority and their vision of making everyone that walks through those doors feel welcomed. And then there's the foodie in me. There is nothing on the menu that I don't love. The hardest part about coming in is deciding what I'm going to eat for the day, but it usually ends up bbq for lunch and pizza for dinner. read more

I visited Avery's BBQ for the first time last weekend, but it certainly won't be the last! We got the sampler platter and every item from beef to pork to sausage was first rate! ...Amazing flavors from the oak, the seasonings, and the sauce. Also, to counter the couple of reviews claiming it wasn't a good value; with all due respect, they must never have visited any other notable BBQ places to arrive at that conclusion, as I find it to be a great value for both quantity and taste! Any visitor to the White Mountains must put Avery's on their to do list! read more

OMGOSH!! If u haven't eaten at Averys in Springerville, you HAVE to make a trip! Their BBQ is SOOOO good! We tried it for the first time yesterday and cant get it off our minds or taste buds lol the bbq sauce is AWESOME! Its perfect! I wish I could just pour it in a cup and drink it with a straw lol they also have a gas station and bar. Each one is separate, so bring the family and go have lunch or dinner! The staff is EXTREMELY polite and tends to your every need. I didn't want to leave! read more

My Wife and I stumbled on "Avery's while stopping for fuel and passing through. The Scent of smoked meats were so incredible we stayed for lunch. My wife had the pulled pork and I had the brisket. Hands down this isone of the best BBQ's we've ever had. We're traveling across country as we do every year, and will make sure we come back next year. Barry L. read more

Avery's food is AMAZING!!! The service wast fast and friendly. I have never seen my kids eat so much food so fast. Normally when we go out to eat I fight them to eat and we end up waiting on them to finish....tonight they ate till they were "stuffed". We have found our new favorite place to eat out! Thanks so much! read more
