The chicken was nicely smoked and cooked with a slight sweetness; very enjoyable. The brisket was simply ok. Had some smoke. Wish it had more. Cooked pretty well. Tender. Ordered the fatty brisket. Close to being over cooked. But was right there. The house bbq sauce was very good. I ordered a beer. I have no idea how I would get another. Might have had to get back in line. Not sure. This is not a service oriented place. Go get your own salt and pepper. Go get the sauces, none on the tables. Set up like a fast food joint.

Holy Smokin's Butts is a fantastic BBQ place I found, based on a Yelp reviews. My fellow Yelpers…read moredid not let us down! I loved this place and frankly, although great Mexican food in Tucson is a given, I didn't know they had good barbeque too. They had all my favorites, so my wife and I decided to split the The Big "Q" Platter for $38. This included Brisket, Pulled Pork, Tri-tip, Sausage, Turkey, two St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, and 4 slices of toast with our choice of two eight-ounce sides (we chose the baked beans and coleslaw. My favorites were the Ribs, Brisket, Tri-tip, and baked beans. The turky was solid and smokey. I'm not really a fan of sausage, but my wife enjoyed these. I loved that you could really taste the smokey taste and that everything was fresh, juicy, and tender. The baked beans were the kind of love, with pieces of pork throughout the mixture. Because we split this platter (with leftovers), it was quite a good deal. When the bill came, the waitress listed a bunch of things that qualified for an extra discount, so we scored an additional 10% off for being seniors. If I lived in Tucson, this place would be on my regular restaurant rotation, which is high praise indeed!

We used to love this barbecue spot, but the service has become absolutely terrible. The posted…read moreclosing time is 8:00 PM, and while I understand it is posted that the dining room closes at 7:40 PM, it is not so serious that you should immediately turn away a family walking in right at that exact minute. Rejecting my wife and two kids and willfully losing out on revenue twenty minutes before the restaurant actually closes is completely unacceptable. I hope management starts paying closer attention to how their staff treats incoming patrons. Your food might be good, but you are not that special. Show some respect to your customers. We will never be coming back.

My friend, came into town from Cochise County and wanted to go to listen to jazz at Brother John's…read moresince it was Sunday afternoon. This restaurant has jazz every Sunday afternoon from 2-5p.m. Absolutely incredible musicians and singer! The crowd was festively dressed and happy and truly enjoying this music. We got shareable appetizers, the burnt end nachos with brisket and fried buffalo cauliflower florets with ranch dressing. Both delicious!! I had the Old Forester 1920 whiskey- 1 Oz and that was plenty! The bartender served us water as well as we had sat up at bar. The was professional and quite efficient. Before we left, I asked bartender what I could get to bring home for my dog- thinking he would laugh at me, but he told me he does same for his dog and that he eats better than him. We laughed when I said "same!" He suggested the tacos and would separate out the pulled pork from the onions, cotija cheese and jalapeños- and did! Kai loved that I brought her home "tacos!"Thank you for a great afternoon, Brother John's!!

The move to counter service completely changed the vibe of this restaurant, and not for the better…read more Service used to be the biggest highlight, and now it feels like you're paying the same prices for a much lower level of attention. As someone who frequented this restaurant for the last few years, I had a firsthand look at how things were run, and in my experience management operated very unprofessionally. It ultimately pushed me to stop supporting this business, and based on those experiences, I can no longer recommend it. There are far better BBQ options out there. From what I personally witnessed, the owner, David, was consistently disrespectful toward employees and created a company culture that I don't believe deserves support. Also important to note that there is something up with the drains/ sewer system in this building and about once a week the entire dining room smells like a sewer leak.. gross

Been wanting to eat here for a while, but them only being open 4 days a week makes it a challenge…read more Parking is easy enough. Went with a friend, scant seating. Ambiance/Cleanliness- It's a funky BBQ joint, and it owns it. Clean tables! 4 stars Service-We were made to feel welcome and food came out as ordered, in due time. 4 stars Food- I got brisket, hot link, mac n cheese and slaw. Brisket was a bit salty, but flavor and texture were GOOD to go. Hot link was tasty. Texture on the mac was solid, flavor was good. No complaints on the slaw.

We really enjoyed both of the main dishes. The side dishes (cole slaw, kale salad, potato salad, and mac and cheese) were nothing special.

I'm going to start out with the really good stuff and go on from there…read more 1. The brisket was cooked to perfection. I liked the Bbq sauce even though it was sweet, I generally like it a little vinegary. 2.. They are a well oiled machine for 2 people cranking out foo that is good and quick. 3.

The grilled oysters were perfect, although my dinner mate thought they were a bit spicy. The watermelon and pork belly salad was an incredible combination. Juicy chunks of pork belly with lots of meat attached, and the cooling watermelon to set it off. A brilliant combination. The service was spot on - we arrived early but they seated us within a few minutes. Very accommodating and friendly staff. The whole vibe was friendly and welcoming.
