We stopped by because we could hear the live music from our Airbnb. Outdoor area was nice- there were picnic tables, seats near fire pits, and a bar type seating. Inside was typical restaurant. We didn't eat there, but our kids did night before and said food was good.

JW's meat sampler, hatch & Gouda Mac n cheese, corn bread, and Arizona Elote
Crystal H.

Not bad for a casual bbq place. This was the closet bbq restaurant to our stay at the El Paseo for a wedding. We got the JW's meat sampler, hatch & Gouda Mac n cheese, corn bread, Arizona Elote, Green Apple & poblano coleslaw, smoked brisket chili. The brisket was a bit dry. The turkey breast and sausage were juicy and tender. The ribs were very caramelized and dark, but not fall off the bone tender. Pulled pork was ok. The sides were all good. The coleslaw was a bit bland and not sweet at all. The chili came out hot and cheesy. Mac and cheese and elote were creamy. Fast service.

Meat Sampler with Mac & Cheese
McKenna D.

Loved the outdoor seating--plenty of space, beautiful mountain views, and live music that really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight and makes this a great spot to hang out, especially on a nice day. The food, though, was just okay and came out cold. Compared to our personal favorite BBQ spots in Phoenix, it didn't quite hit the same. That said, dining options are limited out this way, and when you stack it up against what else is available nearby, this place is one of the better choices. Be prepared: it fills up fast and the lines can get very long, so getting there early is a must.

Patio with views of the superstition mountain

Parking is what sets the immediate impression of a location, and this location has a parking lot with impressive views of the Superstition Mountains. No issues parking on a Saturday afternoon. I knew it had great views and decent parking as this location was the previous town favorite - Filly's. I hadn't been to Filly's in decades as I wasn't a fan of the food personally, so I was excited to try a new concept here. Especially since I read MasterChef Champion Chef Shaun led this kitchen as he was one of my favorite contestants through the seasons as he had a drive and passion for the art of food. When you enter, it is an order at a counter and take a number type of restaurant concept. Definitely prefer a traditional restaurant, but I know with barbecue, this is a common way to serve. A perk of this style is the ability to refill your soda without waiting for a server to do so. Since it is this style, they have condiments, pickles, and other items as a serve yourself with bottles you can take to your seat or to-go containers. Like any new establishment I try, I have to do a flight of all the sauces to rank. Four Sauce Choices: - Dutchman's Original (favorite) - Dutchman's Gold (third, but not a gold BBQ sauce fan) - Superstition Red (least - watery) - S&S Chipotle (second) Sometimes you can't beat the original, but it's always nice to have choices! For the meat options, I got the JW's meat sampler plate ($30) so we can try the different meats with sides with my boyfriend getting a pulled pork sandwich. Who gets turkey at a BBQ? Well, I would absolutely here as it's the best turkey breast I've ever had! It was so moist and had a great flavor, and the brisket was also fantastic! I rarely eat pork, but tried the other items. Loved the hatch chile & jack cheese sausage, which was a surprise as well! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone type, which I love but my boyfriend prefers something to gnaw on. Since I'm always right, they are phenomenal here. ;-) For sides, we tried Arizona Elote, BBQ Baked Beans, and Jalapeño + Chipotle Gouda Mac. BBQ Baked Beans were more like ranch-style beans, which I wasn't a fan of and would skip when returning. The Mac was pretty good, but not a creamy Mac n Cheese if that's what you prefer. The elote is more like elote en vaso, but still had a great flavor. We both did say we'd love it on the cob. They have sinks if you get messy, so a real elote would be fantastic at the table in my opinion. Lastly, my plate came with the cornbread which I wasn't a huge fan of. I'm usually a honey cornbread person, but it appears they added jalapeño which I don't like mixing in a cornbread personally. In contrast, my boyfriend thought it was too sweet for a jalapeño cornbread. Perhaps since this location is new, they are experimenting on "the" cornbread recipe, so I'd try again. Overall, both the meat items and the side dishes were a success! I would say 4.5/5 Stars, so with the stunning Superstition Mountains, Dutchman's Country BBQ gets a 5-Star Yelp review in my book! Check them out when you are in the area!

Delicious cornbread, melted pie - just received.
Veronica B.

One Star??? If I was to base this review on my first encounter with the first person - whom was a much older lady taking the orders, I think her name was Tara, I would definitely give this place a one star. I'm not sure what her rush was to get me and my friend to order, as we were the only two people in line and the restaurant was 98% empty, as you'll see in the pictures. I was SOOOO disappointed even after telling her it was our first time, the lady didn't even allow us to put in our information at the end of the transaction for the Rewards program or an email list or anything that they have???!!! I still don't know anything about it because she didn't give us a chance. I thought it would've been nice to know of new menu items since they have a limited menu??? The information portion just popped on the screen and the lady quickly skipped over it. They should REALLY consider another person to be the face of Customer Service --- CS skills are really much needed! I think her behavior was really strange, off-putting, she was so preoccupied looking around, it was inconsiderate, rude and weird. We ended up sitting in the bar and luckily the cornbread was the first thing I tried and it was deliciously moist with a light crust top of honey. I tried the pulled pork sandwich and was not disappointed, it had so much moisture. The portion was really nice. The sandwich overall was definitely a five and the coleslaw placed on-top was also a five; highly recommend that!!! The side of macaroni was ok - slightly spicy, with a thin cheese sauce, although I prefer a cheesy, thicker sauce myself, with a pasta less overcooked. Here's a tip ~ be sure to grab some napkins and put water on them cause I didn't see any wet naps anywhere. Sauces: Superstition Red - A sweet-and-sour sauce type very watery, but had a mild flavor, not spicy. S & S Chipotle - sauce is definitely on the spicier side. I did really like it. Very tasty. The Dutchman's gold sauce, tangy kind of a vinegar based, savory, my favorite. Dutchman's Original - a traditional bbq, not overly sweetened! Barbie (pictured) was in the spacious bar and she was so nice to visit our table. We had a quick chat she mentioned about live music they host. Eddy (girl) was also very friendly to visit our table and took care of us. The pecan pie was extremely sugary and very hard. The buttercream whipped topping was melted, but the pie was cold so that was a little confusing, of course I wanted it to look like the picture, but it clearly did not. Tip ~ If you don't like the taste of butter on your pie then I would definitely skip that. I love pecan pie myself, therefore wanting to try it, I'm not sure why the topping was melted and the pie was so hard? Sadly, I'm guessing they were both very old, definitely Not fresh. Sharing of course My Friend was most definitely not a fan. There's plenty of space, much of the restaurant was empty and the decor is very pretty and rustic! There's a huge outside sitting area with very warm heaters and fire!!! I'm not sure why I tipped, hopefully it goes to Eddy (she served our table) and NOT the front counter older lady taking orders. I spent $31.

Pork lollipops, jalapeño cornbread
Mark K.

We've been to Dutchman's several times now, and the food is outstanding! It is excellent BBQ, from the pulled pork sandwich to the brisket, to the chicken tenders for our son. The variety of sauces is great, including the Dutchman's Gold for pork! The amount of food for the price is a good value. You can get cheaper food, but it's just cheaper food. We will definitely keep going back, it's that good! And the view of the Superstition Mountains is the best!

Pork belly lollipops
Kimberly K.

EVERYTHING every time I go. Tonight ( I never go on Sunday), they closed a few minutes before I got there at 8, but KK managed to rustle up a mess of pork belly (they call em lollipops). I have a brand new car, but I ate 1 on the way home.

Patio
Gail F.

Great place and great food& service! Was excellent too! They have bands frequently , I highly recommend !!!

Tacos and brisket sandwich, side of beans and cheesy potatoes
Mariah L.

We loved this barbecue spot! We ordered the tacos and the brisket sandwich, and everything we tried was full of amazing flavor. All of the homemade barbecue sauces inside were incredible and really made the meal. If you go, try to time it around sunset and sit on the patio -- the view of the Superstition Mountains is absolutely beautiful and makes the whole experience even better. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and kept the place clean, which we really appreciated. The only downside for us was the cheesy potato side. It was a bit mushy and lacked flavor compared to everything else. We also would've loved more fried jalapeños on the sandwich and a little more meat on the tacos. That said, the flavor, pairings, and overall quality of what we did get were fantastic. Overall, definitely worth visiting. Great food, great atmosphere, and an unforgettable view!

Brisket
Candy K.

2nd time here. Employees are always friendly and welcoming. The sides here are amazing and quite a bit of options. The meat is really good! The BBQ Sauces are very tasty. And live music to boot!! Highly recommend!

Our sad brisket
Nica O.

We were really excited to try this place after watching the construction and waiting for it to open. The building itself is beautiful, and the views are amazing, they clearly put a lot of thought into the space. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown. When they first opened it looks like they had some BBQ combo plates, however, the menu has changed to more a la carte. The portions were shockingly small, so small that we honestly thought our order had been made incorrectly at first. For a BBQ restaurant, the portion size just didn't come close to matching the price. It was disappointing. The brisket was 2 small slices, sides were each less than a 1/2 cup each, soda machines were all out of ice and the condiment bar was almost empty. We truly don't want to see a new business in this area struggle or fail, and we hope they're able to improve because the location and concept have so much potential. That said, we simply can't justify paying those prices for that amount of food. We left hungry and ended up down the street at another BBQ that has huge portions but limited seating (iykyk). We really hope they take feedback like this seriously and make adjustments, we'd love a reason to come back.

Candied pork belly
Glenn M.

We were bicycling through the area and stopped in. Nice patio out back. We ordered inside and they brought it out to us. I enjoyed the candied pork belly. The brisket tacos were really different but very tasty. I had a local brew to make it even better.

Brisket with beans
K B.

Dutchman's is one of those places where you walk in, stand at the counter to order, get handed a number, and they bring the food to your table. Personally, I'm not a fan of this setup. You're standing there trying to read the menu board and decide what you want while the order taker is staring at you waiting -- and we weren't greeted at all, which didn't help the experience. Drinks and sauces are self-serve. Fountain Drinks are fine from the machine, but I really don't care for self-serve sauces since they're open and feel like a health hazard. Food-wise, we ordered the pork sandwich and the brisket sandwich, with sides of Mexican corn, baked beans, and jalapeño cornbread. Everything definitely had flavor, so credit where it's due, but nothing really wowed me. The menu is pretty limited, and for what you get, the prices felt high. That said, Dutchman's has one big thing going for it: the outdoor patio and the views of the Superstitions. They're fantastic. There's also plenty of parking, which is a plus. In my opinion, if I'm craving BBQ, I'll make the drive to Caldwell's. If I want a more varied menu, I'm going to Rusty Buckle. But if I want to kick back, enjoy the scenery, and relax with just a drink/app, I'd give Dutchman's another try for the views alone.

Since opening, this location has been on my radar as I've both heard from locals in town and fellow…read moreYelpers that this place was great. This building seems to rotate businesses, and after trying, I really hope they remain in this location! Based on the crowd on a Wednesday night, and the lively atmosphere, I'm sure they will for years to come! MAJOR PROPS! My friend is celiac and they not just accommodated, but the manager came to speak with her who was also celiac. Hands down the BEST service in Apache Junction regarding dietary restrictions and allergies. What we ordered: - Pair of Prickly Pear Margarita: loved the sweet and slight tart flavor, definitely have another when I return. A great beverage to toast to life and catch up with a friend. - Southwest Chicken Salad (modifications to be gluten-free safe): my friend said it was delicious, and loved that she could eat with confidence after speaking with the manager - Sonoran Burger: they will only cook to medium - medium well due to a flattop, but it was still a tasty burger! Loved the toppings it came with, and a great flavor profile with those combination of ingredients. We both said we'd return and see each other once a month, so I may be back soon! Heck, plan to recommend to my dad and boyfriend as we always love supporting local.

Got bounced by a short, old, fat, bald guy (general manager? hall monitor? liquor-license…read morewhisperer?) who was clearly enjoying a personal renaissance of authority because I dared to possess half of a Dutch Bros iced coffee. This was after I explained to the absolutely lovely hostess that we were coming straight from church and hadn't had time to finish it, and she said it was fine. Apparently her authority only extended to the host stand and not to the Liquor License Enforcement Division of One Man. He came power‑strutting across the room like he'd just been alerted to a moonshine sting operation, and announced in his best I-take-myself-extremely-seriously voice: "I can't let you in here with that. We could lose our liquor license. I can't prove you don't have alcohol in it." First of all, calm down, Barney Fife. That's only if you KNOWINGLY allow alcohol to be brought in. That's not a gray area, that's literally the law. It's also a 25‑second Google, but I guess that was too much to ask during his heroic crusade against the Dutch Bros Cartel. By that logic, you should also be confiscating baby bottles, sippy cups, and Capri Suns before they bring down your entire establishment. Anyhow, yes...restaurants can have whatever policies they want. Fine. Cool. Love that for them. My issue is the tone. The delivery. The implication that we were about to reenact Prohibition-era bootlegging. Here we are: mid‑50s, with my 70‑year‑old mother‑in‑law, fresh from afternoon church at 1:00 p.m., sober as a church mouse (yes, I know I'm mixing metaphors), dressed in our Sunday best...and we're basically being treated like we're smuggling bathtub gin into a speakeasy. Sir. Please. The most dangerous thing we were carrying was iced coffee and a mild sense of optimism. So yeah...thanks but no thanks. We quietly left, caused no scene, didn't argue, didn't flip tables or quote statutes (cough, cough) A.R.S. § 4‑244, and headed to the BBQ place a half mile up the road. You know...the one that laughed when I asked if my "liquid plutonium" from Dutch Bros was going to get them shut down by the state. Unsurprisingly, the BBQ there was great! The atmosphere was relaxed. The live music was amazing. And no one felt the need to cosplay as a liquor enforcement officer on a power trip.
