Delish pulled pork
Mark D.

Whenever I stop in Cottonwood I never miss eating at Colt Grill. When you're walking on the sidewalk just follow the smoke. I love pulled pork sandwiches and they never disappoint. Grabbed a side of beans and were set. They have a large patio that's real nice to sit on and enjoy your bbq. There's umbrellas for plenty of shade. They are dog friendly and I like that. The menu has many selections for us carnivores. They also serve beer and have a full bar. You order your food at the counter and then call you to pick up. Large indoor dining as well. Definitely recommend Colts!

If you see me grabbing EVERY IN HOUSE MADE hot sauce. Mind your business as I eat with the goal to hurt ALLLL parts of my digestive system. From the sauces to the meats being cooked/smoked right in front of me like a show because I sat outside?!?! Just don't miss it. Don't. I swear to the four hour hike I did before the meal. Don't miss it. Every cut of meat is juicey and delicious. Nothing dry about the deliciousness

What a great stop for lunch! For a town that seems super touristy this place seems down to earth! The prices are pretty moderate! The friendliness of staff was great as soon as we walked in we were greeted by the staff! The floating staff was very tentative as well in taking dishes away to offering take away containers! This is not a sit down restaurant. You order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. Despite the restaurant being busy the food came out pretty quickly! Sooooo how was the food? The restaurant offer a wide range of sauces that include mild and hot sauces! Plus there is mustard! You can try all of them if you like! Worth sampling! We ordered the small brisket, pork sandwich and burger! The small brisket was big! I ordered the moist sandwich and it was moist! Sandwich came with pickles and bread! My friend ordered the hamburger and came with a big pepper! I think the pepper was bigger than the meat patty! The meat patty was a bit thin but I heard the burger was still good! The winner of entrees among the group was the pork sandwich: this sandwich was full of meat! The sandwich also had coleslaw. We had so much food that we took some with us for the road! As for seating: the restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating! The outdoor seating is nested around water fountain and shaded! Also you can watch the big smokers for the meat! The indoor space is cozy with cow print seats! If you are looking for a place to eat, I suggest this place!

Have to give it a 3 star ... Food was 50/50 brisket was warmed up by microwave from the hard areas that typically leave hard , sausages are 100% good , hash browns excellent , eggs good , smoked bacon super over cooked and nasty and oily and my brother got the famous burrito and he said it was oily Service we there was no service really it's all counter service and the girl taking order needs to be more helpful . Lately I've been telling people that it's my first time and what do they recommend and well I got nothing from her and they I was like make sure my whole order come out because I had order todo and I was like just bing it all out and then the cooks where like it will come out when your done eating ... Ambiance was nice and cowboy feel and clean . Would I go back and I'm on the fence about this place .

Whistle Pig Flight
Michelle B.

Stopped in for dinner last night and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. My hubby got a burger and I opted to nosh on several sides. I got the smoked macaroni and cheese, garlic fries and of course his sides of ranch beans and Texas toast. I also tried the jalapeño margarita (definitely had a kick) and my hubby tried the Whistle Pig whiskey flight. We would definitely come back again. The service was good (it is an order then sit place) but everything was quick and so delicious. I loved the added bonus of getting to watch the grill master work the massive smokers outside. Great casual ambiance.

Filly cheesesteak, fries, 3 baby back ribs, brisket tacos
Tia G.

Got a recommendation from our tour guide Jason (shout out to Jason for driving us through the Grand Canyon) that this place has solid food. He never mentioned it was a BBQ place!!! The inside is covered in cowhide decor, the outside seating is near the bbq pit so if you don't like pit smoke sit inside. So here you order and seat yourself. I ordered the Filly cheesesteak with fries. My hubs ordered 3 baby back ribs, brisket tacos and fries. Oh he also had the cowboy cookie. He didn't like the cookie, he said it was dry. Oooooohhhh boy was that brisket tenduuuhhh!!!! I mean melt in your mouth buttery fat made that meat exquisite!!!!! Everything was AMAZING!!!! I forgot the spicy barbecue sauce is a winner!!!!

Inside seating and counter service
Carly W.

Our group of six was looking for a good breakfast spot on main street in Cottonwood and stumbled upon this restaurant. This is the perfect spot for a comfort food based breakfast. The menu was not overwhelming while still having some variety. There were a ya drip of vegetarian friendly options which was super helpful. You order at the counter and food is made so quickly! I loved the BBQ sauce bar inside, I highly recommend you try the golden bbq sauce. Staff were kind and quick to help. 10/10 would recommend!

Pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw
Jay T.

Amazing barbecue location in the tiny town of Cottonwood, we usually go to the location in Sedona, which has a much better selection of local beers, but the food here couldn't be beat and we were well satisfied. Friendly staff made it all the better. We got a real kick out of the Cow pattern chairs, great ambience!

Kid's grilled cheese
Katie R.

Overall, I thought the quality of the food was excellent and I would come again. The Thoroughbred salad was very good and very filling. The cod tacos are extremely spicy - my kiddo ordered it and he couldn't finish it due to spice. I tasted it and it was yummy but definitely a lot of kick from the jalapeño. We shared a side of onion rings for the table - they were fantastic, everything you want in an onion ring ! The cowboy cookie sundae was for my kiddo. I tasted it and thought it was just ok. I'd come back!

Veggies and meat. All the food groups.
Tony R.

This little gem is some really good BBQ! Nice smoke and big servings. Wife and I enjoyed the sample platter and a wonderful salad (yeah I know , who cares about salad at a Q place?). Their method is lineup, order, pay and then they have seating. I found it weird they have separate cashiers for food and drink orders (swipe twice) but that's just a nit. Enough meat to make sandwiches for our drive to PHX the next day. Really good place to eat BBQ in Cottonwood!

Alex S.

The tri-tip sandwich was BOMB! And the brisket too. I love that the meat is so tender and just melt in your mouth. The portion is good; not too small and not too big either. They have a sauce station where there is about 8 different BBQ sauces to go with the meat. We also got the garlic fries and they were amazing! I love it when you get loads of fresh garlic on top; you can never get enough garlic. Parking is limited, but if you go between meal times, it should be fine.

Small thoroughbred salad with brisket and tangy bbq sauce
Cathie A.

Went for lunch after asking the guys at the nearby cactus farm for recommendations. You walk in, grab a menu and tell the hostess what you want. She takes your name & # and tells you to find a seat. It was kinda like counter service without the menu board. I ordered the Thoroughbred salad with brisket and some garlic butter fries. (Don't judge, I was on vacation). The salad came in a stainless steel bowl with steaming smoked brisket in a separate container. You add whatever sauce or condiments you want, though the salad comes dressed on its own. (I got mine without dressing). The salad was fresh and the addition of the brisket and tangy Texas BBQ sauce that I selected was spot on. The amount of yummy, pungent garlic on the fries was astonishing and they were tasty as well. The location is on a corner in Old Cottonwood and most of the chairs are covered in a fitting cowhide print. They also have a dog-friendly outdoor eating area. Did I mention that you can see the pit master doing his thing? It's about as authentic as it gets!

Brisket sandwich.

Best BBQ I've had. My entire family makes fun of me because I am obsessed with their brisket. Every year we come here, we go at least 3 times. Cannot recommend it enough. I have never had anything bad here. The brisket sandwich (half and half) is the way to go. Brisket tacos are fantastic as well!

This is the patio and this is bear

To my delight, the dish came out within minutes. Service from entire staff is on point. I'm not even a fan of beef, unless it's a burger (it's a texture thing for me).

The place was practically empty. Diego was running the joint singlehandedly, serving as the host/bartender/waiter/cook, and doing a magnificent job wearing all of those hats simultaneously. My husband and I both had the Mondo Burger (7 oz. 100% ground chuck patty served on brioche hamburger bun, pulled pork, cheddar, onion rings, BBQ aioli, $22). My husband chose the slaw for his side; I declined a side because the burger was plenty big enough for me. My husband was pleasantly surprised that the slaw had apples in it, which was a new experience. The burgers were perfectly done and hit just the right spot. They also arrived quickly. We also bought some bulk BBQ home to toss in the freezer for a second meal this coming weekend. It's sold in 6-oz. portions (pulled pork or sliced chicken, $10; brisket $12). Photo of my Mondo Burger below. Looking forward to our next visit!

What a great unexpected find on our way to Sedona!…read more We had some time to kill before we could check into our Airbnb, so we stopped in around 12:30 on a Saturday. At first, I honestly thought we might be in the wrong place, but man, were we pleasantly surprised. The beers were phenomenal, the food was great, and I had one of the best bratwursts I've had in a long time. My wife got the pretzel, which was also excellent. Even the pineapple coleslaw was memorable - pretty traditional at its core, but with a really cool twist. Same goes for the IPL I had. Familiar, but different enough to make it stand out. Service was great, bathrooms were super clean, and the whole place ended up being such a fun pit stop before heading into Sedona. Alex, our server, was immaculate. Friendly, attentive, and just added to the experience. Would absolutely come back. One of those random road trip stops that ends up being way better than you expected.

Great food and service for an actual hole-in-the-wall off I-17!…read more They're a brewery first and foremost, and their beers are really dang good. They don't pretend to be a stacked kitchen with sophisticated dishes, but the nachos, brats/hot dogs, and sandwiches were surprisingly good. You can tell they care about making the food the best they can, which is the most important thing. My wife and I agreed it was one of the better chicken salad sandwiches we've had. Don't sleep on this place, and if you like dark beer, try the Dark Lager. + very dog friendly and Rafael is the nicest guy ever.

It's clean, with a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The decor is simple, but fun with the signs that say funny things. Service 4.5 STARS Noah was my waiter and he was great. He was friendly, helpful and polite. He took very good care of me and my friend. The food came out quickly and was served hot. Food: I have to do a separate break down. Somethings were great and other items were not so great. Salads 5 STARS Salmon 2.5 STARS Veggies 3.5 STARS Mashed Potatoes 3.5 STARS Sliders 2.5 STARS The Lemon Grilled Shrimp Salad was heavenly. The salad dressing was delicious. The shrimp were grilled perfectly and seasoned to perfection. It had fresh lettuce and vegetables. I highly recommend it. The Strawberry Spinach Salad was another winner. The salad dressing was scrumptious. It was a Cabernet vinaigrette. The nuts, cranberries and feta cheese complimented the strawberries and spinach perfectly. The salmon was blackened and looked great presentation wise. It was salty though and I had to send it back. The veggies and potatoes were good though. The sliders were a bit of a disappointment. This is listed as a favorite. They were so overcooked and dry. There was no seasoning or flavor. The onions were barely on the burger. I should have said extra onions. I should have sent it back, but chalked it up. So what I will say is order salads here it's better than the real food. I would definitely give them another chance for other proteins though. Drinks were decent, but I really didn't taste any alcohol in my drink. The prickly pear margarita looked great. Overall a good experience and I loved the small town charm. Everyone was friendly and I left full and almost satisfied. I definitely will be back again as I'm already planning another trip.
