For my husband's birthday, he requested barbecue, and a colleague of his recommended Papa Bear's…read moreBBQ. We decided to try it, and it exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Papa Bear's Sampler, which offers an excellent variety of meats along with two sides. While it is described as serving two people (or one very hearty appetite), the portion size is extremely generous. It would take quite an appetite to finish it in one sitting. The meats were tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, and the sides were equally impressive--especially the potato salad. In fact, the sampler provided enough food for two full meals for my husband and me. I am particularly selective about potato salad, as I have always compared it to my grandmother's recipe, and few have come close. Papa Bear's BBQ is a rare exception. In addition to the outstanding food, the staff was welcoming and attentive, and the pricing was very reasonable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to returning.

They offer snack items & all sorts of sauces as well. There is a drink fridge if you want something to go with your food items. They even sell hats & tshirts that say THE PORK SHOP on them! I picked up some barbecued pulled pork, some pork chops, some cheese, deli pickles, & their Green Chili Mac & Cheese, which this place is known for. The ambiance is cozy & busy here but well worth the drive in to Queen Creek. TIP: Join their Rewards club & you get some great rewards! I got a free pack of Brats for signing up!

I am very happy I changed my mind. The chicken salad sandwich comes on a crossiant with two healthy slices of tomatoes and lettuce on the side.

Like I mentioned on the previous review. This place is amazing. Great live entertainment, great drinks and good food

Tortilla Flat Salon absolutely exceeded our expectations. We stopped in on a very busy Saturday…read moreand, despite seeing an overall 3.7 rating online (which honestly doesn't reflect our experience at all), we were seriously impressed. There were three of us in our party, and we were seated inside. The wait was 10 minutes. They have seating outside to wait. Metzy took care of us from start to finish and her service was completely on point, friendly, and fast without ever feeling rushed. We ordered drinks, their famous chili, and burgers, and everything came out incredibly fast considering how packed the place was. The food was awesome. The chili was flavorful and hearty, a must try, the burgers were cooked perfectly and loaded with taste, and the beers were ice cold, exactly what you want on a busy weekend outing. For a spot that's this popular on a Saturday, the combination of quick service and great food really stood out. Given the rating we'd seen beforehand, we were pleasantly surprised; maybe it was our lucky day, but based on this visit, Tortilla Flat Salon deserves a much higher score. We'll definitely be back and will happily recommend it to friends and family.

It's attached to an outdoor bar, eatery, and a handful of quirky shops catering to tourists passing through, which just adds to the experience. The food was excellent and the service was cheerful and welcoming. We had the spicy bowl of chili (hot in the best way) and the steak fajita salad served in a giant edible shell--fun and delicious. This is a perfect day trip east of Phoenix or Scottsdale, and the restaurant is worth the stop before turning around and heading back.

I had my heart set on the potato salad, and I was delighted to grab the last one. They were out of the macaroni salad, or I would have had both. A reason to return! I wasn't very hungry for a sandwich, so it was just a side for me kind of visit but my cousin ordered the Italian sandwich. Though I did inquire about the California veggie sandwich for next that that sounded delightful! The sandwich prices were very reasonable too. Love the ability to do a whole or half as I tend to like smaller portions. This is a locally owned business and both my cousin and myself chatted with the owner Angie who prepared the food. She actually remembered me, which I was totally shocked! Love that small town feel, and it always makes you feel special to be recognized as a regular. Now to visit more to become that regular! I'll definitely be back as the potato salad was as great as I recall. Not too overpowered by mustard, and just the right amount of tang. Plus an added bonus of black olives - my fav! If you are local or visiting Apache Junction, make sure to check this place out. The owner is very friendly and service has always been great.

I enjoyed this because sometimes when it is just 1 person working, they only focus on fulfilling the order and not the experience the customer has. I ordered an Italian Sandwich ($8.99) and was very happy with the size/quality for the price. They serve Boars Head lunch meats which I prefer on the rare occasion I eat sandwich meat. The toppings and bread were fresh and added to the overall sandwich enjoyment. The location felt open and well lit. There was a few seating options inside as well as outside seating. I enjoyed the overall atmosphere and experience of the Sandwich Shoppe. I would definitely recommend to someone and come back myself!

The business has reopened, I don't know if it's the original Cowboy Cookin' owners or new people, but the place is definitely not the same. My family and I stopped in this weekend, looking for a good BBQ place and know the original Cowboy Cookin' always left us full and happy. The same cannot be said now. The menu has been cut down, which I understand in these times, but it's mostly burgers and a few sandwiches. Gone is the sampler patter that allowed you to chose multiple BBQ meats and mix cowboy beans or other sides. Gone is the Killer Tater that I loved, in it's place is a cut down version missing the green onions, and bacon, with all of the flavor missing. The place is clean, if lacking the charm it used to have with the peanuts in the shell on every table, and the cowboy memorabilia. I can't say we'd go again, between the prices and the lack of choice, and the loss of charm, it's not going to come back to our favorites list.
