Ok BBQ when you have a craving and are in the middle of no where. Today I happened to be on my.way to Demming New Mexico. The pork was a little dry, but it filled my BBQ craving.

Meats BBQ
Eric Z.

Always love some Dickey's BBQ food. We stopped in here 15 mins before closing (which I usually try not to do, but it was stop or drive to Tucson starving). The workers gracious and smiling even though we arrived so late. The choices were still all available and fresh. The sides were very good and their BBQ sauces are amazing.The lobby was very clean and the property was well kept. Great food and we will return more often now that we know we have a Dickey's 28 mins from home.

Pulled pork sandwich
Wolf P.

This review is for the Benson, AZ location on 775 N Ocotillo Rd. We had experienced the worst food we've ever eaten. Manager recommended the special of the day, a pulled pork sandwich with pickles and onions w/2 sides for $13/ea. In order to sell his pitch he offered us a very warm sample of the bbq meat saying it was the same meat used in the sandwich. He said, "these sandwiches are to die for". I didn't think he meant it literally, but I was wrong. Our sandwiches had maybe 2 tablespoons of meat, no onions, two wrecked pickles and the bread, one sandwich had burnt bread the other was barely toasted. Side ceaser salad was a cup of wilted Romain lettuce w/a packet of Kraft dressing. The Mac & Cheese was paste and tasted like it had mayonnaise in it. The meat was old, cold and tasted not right while drowned in sauce. Other family members also had very old brisket and ribs. Ramsey would shut this place down. Not recommended. Very high priced for fast food. 5 meals for over $80 w/out drinks. Update: After eating what we could our stomachs felt like we had a bowling balls in them. Several of us were in the bathroom at all hours of the night/morning "dying" for Dickey's food.

Green Chili Brisket with Cheddar Cheese and Hot Texas BBQ sauce
Shannon M.

I just had the most AMAZING sandwich. Tender beef brisket, cheddar cheese and a grilled green chili loaded into a bun and slathered with their hot Texas BBQ sauce. Wow, this is now my favorite sandwich at Dickie's!

a sign for dickey's barbecue pit

Down in Benson today Sunday found most mom and pops restaurants closed but Dickeys was opened. The staff were Not wearing facemasks either were most of the customers entering. Tables were spread out. The signs on the windows misleading as this is a franchise. This location is NOT family owned and it is currently for sale looking for new franchised owner. Food okay small portions. Sides are not hot cold mac n cheese doesn't taste good. Free ice cream made with no milk so no creamy taste rather frozen yogurt taste. Meat was overly dry have to use sauce. Nice staff. Great ladies room with amazing floor. Next to Dennys right by 10 freeway overpass and fown road fro KOA campground snd across from RV park.

I love having another food option in the area. I just wish it was so costly. They are also stingy on the BBQ sauce.

You order at a counter here and the line was a bit long, but moved in good time. To say the place is basic is an understatement. Staff is friendly and efficient so things do move along. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with a spicy mac and cheese side, plus a lemonade. It came as a 'meal' with one price, and on the higher price side too. After sitting down the meal arrived pronto, in almost a shockingly short time. So they obviously have it down pat. The sandwich was just OK. A bit dry and on a plain bun it didn't hit the mark. The sauce was not that impressive either. Ths side of mac and cheese was slightly better, but not as spicy as I had hoped. It gets rave reviews from the locals. Hmmm. I'd try this place again but it's not going to rise above being what it is, a simple and rather underwhelming BBQ joint.

I'd have to say that if for no reason other than atmosphere alone, Big Nose Kate's Saloon earns its…read morefive stars! Even on a Tuesday afternoon in mid-April, this joint was bustling with live music, servers rushing about in their period costumes, and the chatter of happy patrons enjoying themselves and taking it all in. Whether a lover of frontier history, western cinema, or just plain ol' drinking in a genuine saloon, Big Nose Kate's screams, "WELCOME TO THE TOWN TOO TOUGH TO DIE!" Upon entering, our party was seated in a raised section above the main floor near the front windows. It was an excellent spot to see all the action (including a monitor playing the movie Tombstone, BTW) as we perused the menu of appetizers, entrees, and libations. The selection of specialty drinks was impressive, though I opted for a simple "Big Ass" draft pilsner (flavorful and locally brewed). My wife did order a Cowboy Sangria - and it appears wimpy drinks "don't go around here, Law Dog," because she thought it was good but a bit too strong. I actually had to finish it for her. (Such a chivalrous sacrifice!) But don't assume that Kate's is just a drinking establishment; there's quite a variety of eats, as well. Good-sized, tasty looking burgers and sandwiches passed by our table, which were tempting; however, not being overly hungry, we decided to sample a few of their appetizers as we moved on to another round of beers. The Buffalo Wings were good but nothing really special. The Soft Pretzel Basket - actually one HUGE pretzel served with cheese and mustard sauces - was warm, salty, and much bigger than anyone anticipated. It was enjoyed by our entire table. When visiting, don't neglect a trip to the gift shop, which can be accessed from a spiral staircase right in the center of the dining area. Their menu recounts that a part of this underground area was once the abode of the saloon's swamper, and you can even view his living cubby and mining tunnel when below. Of course, there's lots of branded swag available for sale down there, too! Big Nose Kate's Saloon is a must-see stop for Tombstone visitors. Priced aren't exorbitant, portions are generous, and the food and drinks are pretty darned good, as was evident from the satisfied looks of the diners and drinkers around us . You may even be approached by Steve, who offers FREE photos (from your personal camera or phone) with props and piano-top poses - now how can you beat that value? Make it a point to come on in, belly up to the bar, and enjoy the saloon's hospitality.

The Longhorn Restaurant - Prime rib

Before dining at Tombstone's Longhorn Restaurant, I read the varied reviews. I'm not sure if the…read moredining experience differs due to the increased weekend crowds, but our weekday visits (yes, plural) were positive. Freshly arrived from checking-in to our nearby hotel and thirsty from the 8-hour drive, our party decided to grab cocktails and a bite to eat somewhere along Allen Street. We quickly realized that most shops and businesses close around 5 o'clock (which was approaching), so choosing the Longhorn, with its extended hours and large menu, was a no-brainer. We started with a couple of Bloody Marys and a blooming onion appetizer. The Marys weren't particularly spicy but were well-made and traditionally garnished. For an extra charge ($5.00, I believe) you could even purchase a souvenir glass. The blooming onion was also prepared well - not greasy - and came with a tasty dipping sauce I also used on other foodstuffs later. For dinner, my wife and I split the Dunkin' Burger (with french fries) while our friends ordered the New York Steak, baked potato, and a salad. I, personally, didn't think the dipping au jus did anything for our burger since the Angus patty was flavorful and the Texas Toast was soft and crunchy, so I opted to spread some of the onion's heretofore mentioned dipping sauce on it, instead. No complaints from our friends on their steak, which was still sizzling upon presentation and came with a large dollop of garlic butter. Do note, the Longhorn charges a plate-splitting fee, but we were informed of this in advance. We waddled out stuffed and satisfied. The following morning, we found that most businesses didn't open until 10 o'clock; so, being early risers, back it was to the Longhorn for breakfast! I was really blown away by the Country Fried Angus Steak and Eggs I ordered. Hefty, thick yet tender, and topped with a rich country gravy, the steak took up the entire plate (leaving room for the eggs only on top of it all). My wife's simple order of French Toast and bacon paled in comparison, though it was equally to her liking. It was a great way to start our long-anticipated day of exploring Tombstone's shops and attractions. The restaurant's decor beckons diners to explore Tombstone's history through the period photographs, artwork, and artifacts that adorn the walls in the two main dining areas. The backlit stained-glass murals are beautiful, casting a golden glow throughout the interior, and the furnishings perfectly reinforce the town's western motif. Another praiseworthy facet of the Longhorn Restaurant is the staff. Our two servers, Melissa for dinner and Shelby for breakfast the following morning, were so sweet. Melissa, learning we had just arrived into town, offered to snap several seated photos of us, and Shelby gave us a variety of suggestions for points of interest, attractions, and events that would be taking place the day we were there. Our sincere appreciation is extended to both these friendly, hardworking ladies! In all, we really enjoyed both our visits to the Longhorn Restaurant. Prices were actually cheaper than what we anticipated in a town relying largely on tourist dollars, the food and service were on point, and the overall vibe fell right in line with what a lover of western history would expect. Thanks to all; we hope to visit you again next trip!
