Avery's - Bars Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

There food is really good no one is wearing a mask there right now but every thing there is great they have plenty of chooses of drinks and food I would definitely recommend this place. You might even see some dogs on the porch ;). read more

Their food is good, beer is cold, only real nice bar in town. Better then anywhere else in town.

Since I smoke my own brisket, pork, fish, and other items at home, I needed to get a little of what I call "home cookin". I pass by Avery's twice daily, and I stopped in to grab a bite after work. Walked in, and spoke to a nice, smiling, friendly lady named Destiny. Ordered the Pecan Cole Slaw, BBQ egg rolls (3 each) and a pulled pork sandwich. The slaw was fresh, crunchy, with enough dressing, a tad under seasoned (but you gotta cook for the masses). An addition of a little salt and pepper and it was fine. The BBQ Egg rolls were smaller than expected, but well executed. However, the filling was a little dry, but they were fresh. I had the Chipotle ranch sauce and it was nicely accomplished. I would have liked a little more kick to the sauce, . The pulled pork sandwich was nice. Their rub was simple, and allowed the pork flavor to come through. I found a little gristle, but simply removed it. The soft bun was warmed on the griddle, a small amount of sauce was added and then placed onto the pulled pork. Admittedly, being from Texas, it was a little lacking due to a lack of onions, pickles and jalapenos, but that is just normal where I live. No large disappointment. Honestly, everything I had was high quality, the staff was friendly, and overall, a very decent first encounter. Since I pass by twice daily it will be hard to pass by. Luckily, they are closed when I pass by on the way to work in the morning and that is probably best. read more

Long over Due, I owe you better. Avery's stands out like a beacon in the night; The sanctuary against cooperate vampires whose life mission is to suck the life outta this town. When you step into the parking lot, that moment, when your shoe it's the Gravel, the smells of smoke and hot coals burning in a fire Pitt tell the stories of smokey, fatty char goodness essential to all great barbecue. My nose found this place. Avery's is the bucolic bar, very in line with the quiet country living, with that ease of slow to get there, slow to leave feel. That's the reason we go on vacations, isn't it? Thankfully it's got everything But bullet holes in the ceiling and sawdust on the floor to keep you at peace. Talking with the owners, you can actually feel the warmth and love & dedication that they put in this place. Probably the only place I'd go back to In this sleepy little town. Can we just hug, can you guys just gimme a hug. I miss you guys. 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

First time eating at Avery's in Springerville. Highly recommend it to anyone passing thru like we did. Called ahead and they had it waiting for us. 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

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

Great place to eat at and great food! Definitely worth the little drive out of town to pick up some great grub!

I am happy that I stopped here for lunch as i was passing though. Very good and everything was fresh. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. 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

Best pulled pork sandwich ever! Try their battered fries - super yum, great crunch. Awesome pecan coleslaw. Clean bathrooms, great service! Highly recommend it and would plan our next visit for a longer meal time so we can try more items from their menu read more

Avery's - Best pulled pork ever! - Bars Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

I have traveled to 46 different states, trying bbq in as many establishments as I could. This place has the best bbq I have ever had. I highly recommend the Crazy Carolina sandwich. 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

Thank goodness for Avery's, eating out in Springerville-Eagar can be a little dicey, but Avery's always delivers. The BBQ is some of the best I have ever eaten and the sides are always good. read more

This place has the BEST barbeque. I had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac and cheese. The bread was so soft. Incredible. I also had the family platter. It came with so much amazing food. We also had the barbeque rolls and the sauce was outstanding. One of my favorite things here were the beans. The beans were so good. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I definitely recommend. Also a plus is that they have so many flavors of Herbert's lemonade. I had mango lemonade and it was awesome. I love this place. read more

Went to try Averys at walk up counter. 4 people handling food with hand. Not a single staff wearing mask. Front door says mask required. Turned and left! read more

A must when driving through or visiting...best BBQ around! They have a nice country vibe and friendly atmosphere. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They also have a bar attached to the restaurant that opens up later in the day. read more

Unexpected find on our way to Pinetop Arizona! Stopped to fill up with diesel, popped our heads in to check out the restaurant and glad we stayed. We had pulled pork and mac & cheese, best mac & cheese and great pulled pork. Also beef brisket sandwich with battered fries. Yummy! Felt like we were in the middle of Texas small town known for BBQ! read more

During a recent trip to Springerville we ate at Avery's three times. Enjoyed every single bite. The only negative I would have is that we didn't go more often. Hubby isn't as much of a fan of BBQ as I am and even he enjoyed our trips. The ribs were incredible. Can't go wrong with the pulled pork sandwich. The shoestring fries are fantastic. So many tasty items not enough stomach to enjoy!! read more

The best BBQ in town! Everything is good. My fav is the ribs, corn on cob and green Chile Mac n cheese!

Ciara our bartender/cook did a great job keeping us feed and watered. The loaded potato tonight was awesome. Will be back tomorrow for fish night. read more

Wow.... barbecue is out f this world. Choose many different meat types, but we especially enjoy the brisket with out a bun. The sides are interesting.... green chili macaroni, etc. you order at he kitchen, set down..have a beer and waitress bring the grub. Best ever.... read more

OMG the chicken, it was the BOMB. Yes everything else was great too. But the chicken is my favorite. We stopped here only after reading all the reviews before up and YES, it really was as good as everyone said read more

Good food - friendly people - well stocked bar and cold beer. Will definitely visit again when in town.

Great BarBQ in Springerville, AZ! Fantastic bar selection of beers and various drinks. Sonoran white chocolate ale! At peak times there may be a wait for your BBQ, but it tastes fantastic when you get it! read more

We had a great meal, good service and fun evening in the bar with a great country/rock band on a Saturday night. The brisket was delicious, the best BBQ beans I've ever had, fresh, crisp coleslaw and peach cobbler. This is a hidden gem in the middle of Arizona's ranch country in the White Mountains. This place is worth your drive time and you will be happy you stopped. Liz and Lance are doing a great job at building a business in this small corner of country and they're refurbishing the RV park behind the store and restaurant as well. 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. Recommend a visit. read more

YUMMY! Wasn't too sure how BBQ would compare to BBQ in the south east but WOW! Brisket was hands down the best ever! Sauce on point! Boyfriend got the sampler with ranch beans and AVERY style potato salad... best find for our first Arizona stop on our cross country trip from Florida. read more

Nice club to be at on a lonely Saturday. Great country atmosphere. Playing pool was fun, where was the blond I met at Firestone pizza bar I met the night before read more

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

Wonderful BBQ place! It's like being back in Texas. Great pulled pork. And their bbq sauce was damn good. Lady at the counter was super friendly. It is truly a diamond in the rough read more

Great variety of tasty smoked meats. Always wait, curbing my appetite until driving through Springerville. Yum! Sandwich and a beer. And another order to go. Just watch out evenings for Springerville's finest sitting in the park down the road. read more

This is a great place! I am so amazed at how good it is! the macaroni is amazing, but the star of the show were the fries, dip them in a little ranch or not, they are out of this world! I will definitely be coming back! read more
