Great BBQ! I have eaten here a few times and every time I get the sampler platter, because all of the meats they do here are awesome. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I have been told that their breakfast burrito is incredible. I have not tried it yet You order at the counter and pick up yourself. The service has always been kind and courteous. The place has your typical BBQ joint vibe. The outside tables can get pretty sticky, so watch out for that read more

If I told you what San Franciscans pay for BBQ meats you'd understand when I say it's almost cheaper to fly to Arizona for lunch at COLT Grill. Here at COLT Grill I had The Filly, a salad the menu described as "romaine, walnuts, pears, cranberries, bleu cheese crumbles, cranberry vinaigrette". I opted for the "small" ($8.50) over the" large" ($13) and it was a beautiful salad both in presentation and taste. But the salad portion of the menu also said one could "add chicken or smoked turkey" ($4) or "add beef brisket" ($5) and I did. Did you just tell me I could get a perfect, tasty, ample salad with a separate, robust and delicious side of BBQ beef brisket for $13.50? I wasn't just ready to fly to Arizona; I was ready to move to Cottonwood. This meal was delicious. A "small platter of smoked brisket" ($14.50) was enjoyed equally by another at my table but, with my bowlful of brisket, I paid little attention to that other meal. My attention instead was aimed at a nearby table's indulgence in the smoked Mac-n-cheese ($4.75) and Cheesy Jalapeño Corn Bread ($4). Jealous I was, for I had no room for anything more. What a winner. COLT Grill might be half the reason I return to this area in the future. read more

Great food! This is a somewhat self serve, you order at the register, find a table & wait for your name to be called & go get your food. Alcoholic drinks are also ordered at the counter. There is indoor & outdoor seating, the decor is cool, kind of western. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, it comes with coleslaw on top, it was excellent!!! My husband got the fish & chips & he said it was great as well! We would definitely go back, as a matter of fact, we are now in Sedona & there is one here that we just may go have a meal at! read more

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! read more

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 read more

I'll preface the review by saying I have been to the colt in Prescott and thought that it was pretty good but I noticed that this location was open for breakfast and wow I have no idea how they are making money on their breakfast burrito cus this thing was massive for only $10! I wish I would have taken a pic but was too excited to eat it. Huge burrito filled with eggs, cheese, brisket and some other meats as well. All around a great breakfast burrito on a really nice tortilla as well. Only thing that I was disappointed with were the salsas. All of them had basically no spice and needed way more flavor. If they kicked up their salsa game this could be up there with one of the better breakfast burritos especially considering the amazing value you are getting. read more

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! read more

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 . read more

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. read more

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!!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Ok, if you don't know BBQ, this place is great. Very cute and the staff was very friendly. Great service. However, if you know BBQ, you may disappointed. I am admittedly a BBQ snob, being from Texas. I've had some of the best. That being said, the BBQ here was not the best. I ordered the sampler platter. The brisket (I ordered the rich) was dry and a little tough and didn't have a great flavor. The ribs were decent, but not spectacular. The turkey was good. The pulled pork was ok, but not very flavorful. Didn't like the sausage at all. I also had the beans and Texas toast. Beans were bland. A friend I was there with ordered the brisket sandwich and it was impressive the amount of brisket, but they put lettuce and tomatoes! Lettuce and tomatoes don't go on brisket sandwiches, onions and hamburgers dill pickles do! The sauces were decent except for the Texas Tangy one. Never had a sauce like that in Texas. read more

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! read more

COLT Grill - Veggies and meat. All the food groups. - American Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

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. read more

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! read more

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.

Yes, we do love this food. It's the first time we tried it out and you can smell it when you walk up and it's as good as it smells.

COLT Grill - This is the patio and this is bear - American Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

We were out cruising in Cottonwood this week and when we consulted Yelp for a place for lunch, the Colt Grill came up looking pretty good. We were not disappointed. It was not too crowded, parking really easy in front. Inside the atmosphere is warm and western. There is also an outside dining area with lots of tables. It was a bit chilly. We ate inside. I was impressed with the attention to details that went into the food. My husband's beef brisket tacos were excellent. The brisket was juicy and there was a lot of it. I had the smoked turkey wrap. The wrap itself was grilled, and the turkey was the real thing, gently smoked. I am guessing it was smoked in house. It was a very yummy lunch. The service was very friendly and efficient. I look forward to a return visit,. read more

Solid BBQ - had the sampler platter and the portions were big enough to split with the missus. Ribs were the star, exceptionally juicy and flavorful, and brisket was nice and not super lean. Great assortment of sauces too. The only let down was the salad - it felt like an afterthought. Better to get one of the sides instead. read more

My wife and I had a bad experience here. Came in nice and hungry and looking forward to our meal. Its a pretty busy place on the cute main street which was as expected. Walked in and waited in line at what we thought was the hostess station. When we got to the front we asked for a table and they told us that we could grab a table inside that had just opened up. My wife did that while I went to wash my hands. We sat and sat and finally I went up to the counter to see when our server would be coming as we wanted to order. At that time we were informed that there isn't any table service and we were supposed to order at what we thought was the host stand. A little frustrating but oh well so I waited in line again and placed our order. I got the full combo with a little of all the BBQ and my wife got the burger. Our number was called and I went up to grab the grub. It all looked good and I brought it back over to the table only to sit down and realize we had no silverware, BBQ sauce, ketchup and mustard, etc.... Back up to the counter I go where I was pointed to a sauce station and rack with flatware. Ok ok so I grabbed some sauces, dropped those off, then came back for silverware and napkins. Well, they had no forks and no ranch or mayo at the sauce station so ask again at the counter for them. They shrugged at the forks saying maybe there is some outside. By now I'm frustrated and I told them I wasn't sitting outside. Guy shrugged again, gave me the mayo and ranch, then pretended I wasn't there. Asked again... can you PLEASE grab some forks for this bin... his eyes rolled and they appeared. Onto the FOOD. Brisket, yummy. Pulled pork, yummy. Sausage link, couldn't be drier or worse if they tried. Same with the ribs, dry as a bone. Burger was the same, dry as a bone. We both ate half and left quite upset with the food and way we were treated. read more

While in Cottonwood, we stopped at Colt Grill for dinner. While walking up to the restaurant, I was greeted by the amazing smell of BBQ. The restaurant is small and was busy but not super crowded. It's a walk-up style restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring out your food. They also have a large patio for outdoor seating. My husband ordered the sampler platter and fries, and everything came out so tender and juicy. We were so hungry we didn't get any pictures but if you're a BBQ fan, this is definitely a good spot to check out! read more

Came in for late lunch. Place was not too crowded or loud. You take a menu, place your order, and grab your food at the counter and your sauces. Got the brisket platter: filled with thick slices of meat. 5 stars. Tender and melt in your mouth. 2 pieces were a little crispy but I enjoyed it well, like bacon. Comes with bread and pickle. Which I didn't need. Jalapeño corn bread: 3.5 stars. cheese and lightly sweet. I thought it was ok but hubby enjoyed it. Small thoroughbred salad: with Caesar dressing:4 stars. Fresh and yummy with good greens. Verde bowl: huge! 4 stars. Love this options for vegetarian/vegan. Huge bean/veggie patty although it was a little spicy. The bowl of salad is huge! Probably be shared by 2-3 people. It's bigger than my head. But it was all so fresh with plenty of avocado. Root beer float: hubby finished everything but standard float. Service is limited. (You order at counter, get your own food, get your own plates, utensils, sauces) but they do clean up for you and have clean plates. Overall 5 stars because it was an unexpected gem in cottonwood. read more

Great BBQ. No wait staff, you order at the counter and get called up when order is ready. You also have to order your bar drinks separately from the food order. But the food is worth waiting for. We shared a sample platter and it was tons of meat. The small order of fries was enough for three or four people! Brisket was some of the best I've ever had. Pulled pork was very good. Sausage too spicy and couldn't eat it. Turkey was okay but not stand out. Ribs were tender, very meaty, and fall off the bone. More than the two of us could eat, but made for great leftovers. We will certainly be back again. read more

Loved this little gem in Cottonwood. So many things to choose on the menu. The owner/manager recommended we get the meat sampler and that turned out to be a great idea! We tried almost all the BBQ sauces. Love the cornbread. But the cookie wasn't anything to write home about. Great seating inside and out. read more

Very cute! Food was good- we had th burger and the brisket! Big servings. Would recommend if your traveling in the area.

The Megaburger was as advertised, big and delicious! You do have to order fries separately which was okay because I wanted Onion Rings anyway. Had to cut the burger in half because it was too big, had all the fixings and was more manageable. The Onion Rings was cooked just right, crispy and plentiful. One of the best burgers I've had! read more

Nice BBQ place. You order at the counter and then pick up food when they call your name. I got a spicy chicken sandwich and it was really good. hubby got pulled pork which he said was pretty good. Thankfully we were with locals who showed us the ropes - it wasn't super clear we needed to order upfront and we felt sort of rushed to make a decision because of the line behind us. Nice outdoor patio. Thought it was a bit pricey but also think we can fine tune our orders next time (ie sharing a side vs each getting one). Bottom line, we had a nice meal and will definitely be back read more

Goodness gracious, I was not expecting to love this restaurant as much as I did. We ventured this way on a rainy March day in between wine tastings. Most places had lines out the door, however Colt 804 wasn't as busy, still bustling, but more attainable. We got a great table inside, to avoid the chill and rain. The servers were super nice despite being so busy at the bar. I ordered a spicy marg, and the pulled pork sandwich. I added fries for the table and OMG I couldn't pick a favorite thing that I put in my mouth. The pulled pork was soooo well done, not to juicy, not to dry, just right. Of course you've got to add coleslaw to get the perfect sweet and savory flavor. The fries were perfection. Garlic parm truffle fries? I wish my stomach was bigger so I could have eaten more. I ended up splitting this with my husband, who also raved. I wish I was in Cottonwood now just for that sandwich. The marg was also strong and full of flavor. read more

Very good! Recommended by a friend and was not disappointed. I've really been on a french fry kick lately and saw "butter garlic fries" as an option and they were really good! Also had the ABC burger, which was also really good! If you are on the fence, get over it and go! read more

If you love BBQ, this place is a must! It gets busy quick so if you have multiple people in your party, send someone to find a table while another places the orders at the front.
