Time to go back and review. I like to revisit places after a few years and see what is different…read more Smoky Mo didn't disappoint. Places are successful because they stay the course and do what they do best. Today we went with the four meat platter, perfect amount for two people, brisket, pulled pork, turkey and sausage. With four side of coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad and cornbread. All meats are still sauced unless requested "on the side", but not so much to overwhelm the meat taste. Juicy flavorful pulled pork. Delicious smoked turkey. Brisket was just slightly dry but the sauce and nice bark made it enjoyable. The sausage was AMAZING, juicy and packed with flavor. Coleslaw in my opinion, could use a little more "wetness" but it was still delicious. What can I say about the mac and cheese and potato salad, people from the south, Texas to the Carolina's just know how to get it done. The "Texas Sweet Tea", if you are a diabetic do not drink, however this is a true southern tea, it's done the same all across the south, sugar with some tea thrown in. Four meats, four sides and two drinks with tip $50, not bad for two people, I've definitely spent more for food that didn't even come close to this. Once again Smoky Mo you did not disappoint. If you are a BBQ person this is STILL the best of Tucson. Get out and support this small local business!

I was absolutely in love with the mac and cheese as well as the dill potato salad. Those were by far the best sides. The moist brisket was incredibly cooked, a little bland but that's where the amazing sauces come in! I also liked the ribs, they were very tender and fell off the bone. I ordered one of every sausage they had, and my favorite was definitely the chile relleno sausage! Finally, the smoked crack pie. Dangerous. Honestly would eat another one with ice cream or whipped cream to cut the sweetness. Be aware that food isn't super hot as the meat is smoked and kept away, but the quality is so good and I completely love the food. 10/10 recommend!

Holy Smokin's Butts is a fantastic BBQ place I found, based on a Yelp reviews. My fellow Yelpers…read moredid not let us down! I loved this place and frankly, although great Mexican food in Tucson is a given, I didn't know they had good barbeque too. They had all my favorites, so my wife and I decided to split the The Big "Q" Platter for $38. This included Brisket, Pulled Pork, Tri-tip, Sausage, Turkey, two St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, and 4 slices of toast with our choice of two eight-ounce sides (we chose the baked beans and coleslaw. My favorites were the Ribs, Brisket, Tri-tip, and baked beans. The turky was solid and smokey. I'm not really a fan of sausage, but my wife enjoyed these. I loved that you could really taste the smokey taste and that everything was fresh, juicy, and tender. The baked beans were the kind of love, with pieces of pork throughout the mixture. Because we split this platter (with leftovers), it was quite a good deal. When the bill came, the waitress listed a bunch of things that qualified for an extra discount, so we scored an additional 10% off for being seniors. If I lived in Tucson, this place would be on my regular restaurant rotation, which is high praise indeed!

My friend, came into town from Cochise County and wanted to go to listen to jazz at Brother John's…read moresince it was Sunday afternoon. This restaurant has jazz every Sunday afternoon from 2-5p.m. Absolutely incredible musicians and singer! The crowd was festively dressed and happy and truly enjoying this music. We got shareable appetizers, the burnt end nachos with brisket and fried buffalo cauliflower florets with ranch dressing. Both delicious!! I had the Old Forester 1920 whiskey- 1 Oz and that was plenty! The bartender served us water as well as we had sat up at bar. The was professional and quite efficient. Before we left, I asked bartender what I could get to bring home for my dog- thinking he would laugh at me, but he told me he does same for his dog and that he eats better than him. We laughed when I said "same!" He suggested the tacos and would separate out the pulled pork from the onions, cotija cheese and jalapeños- and did! Kai loved that I brought her home "tacos!"Thank you for a great afternoon, Brother John's!!

My Uber driver was raving about it on the way over, which sealed the deal. While the cheap beer does require a food purchase, I was planning to eat anyway--no complaints there. I went with the 3-for-$11 taco deal and it was more than enough food. You get to choose between green or red salsa; I went with the green, which definitely has a nice kick. I asked the server if they could mix it up with two brisket tacos and one pork belly, and they were happy to accommodate. After reading some mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised--nothing was dry or overly fatty. Everything was flavorful and delicious. My total for four 10-oz beers and three tacos was just over $20, which is an incredible deal for the quality and amount of food and drink. I came to watch the U of A basketball game, and this place is perfect for it--plenty of TVs, tons of seating, and even space for large groups. There's also a covered outdoor patio with lots of seating, plus foosball and cornhole. Parking was easy, too. I sat at the bar, struck up a great conversation, and found the patrons to be super friendly. Overall, a great vibe all around. Highly recommend Cheap Beer Tuesdays: $2 for a 10-oz pour and $4 for a 20-oz pour. Easily one of the best beer deals in town. I'll definitely be back!

Also, because it was Tuesday, their brisket sandwiches were BOGO. We also added on corn on the cob, a half jalapeño sausage and a side of coleslaw. The breakfast taco was very disappointing and extremely soggy, I guess I should've known because it was half off. The corn on the cob was equally as soggy, definitely overcooked. Everything else was decent, but as we were leaving, we realized we were overcharged and they didn't add the Bogo deal.

Ordered the "Bell Ringer" plate with brisket and beef sausage as my meat choices. First of all, service was friendly and welcoming. I want to make sure this is said. I chose my meal to be taken out. Brisket was very dry and crumbly. Way over cooked. Hopefully not reheated from day prior. Sausage was the same. Both meats hard to eat. Sides were fine, as expected. Unfortunately it needs to be all about the meats. Like I said, first time and maybe I came on a bad day. I'll probably give it another try if I'm in the area.

YUM! Went for the 2nd time last Saturday because we were…read more(intentionally) in the area and it was as good as the first time! First time, we had fried catfish and jerk chicken. Catfish was crispy and perfectly fried, jerk chicken had all the right seasonings and was moist and spicy, but not overly so. Sides were tasty, too, especially the rice and peas, you could taste all the time and coconut milk. Sooo good and it's nice to see the herbs used so well! Second time we had the oxtail ( huge pieces) and the fried chicken. The oxtail was rich and delicious. The fried chicken was also super crispy and very juicy, even the white meat! Again the rice and peas. Had those wonderful flavors and my husband who loves cabbage loved the stewed cabbaged. The mac and cheese was gooey goodness. The owner is absolutely delightful as were the two women who were working with her that day. It's a small family place, so be patient with service and you will be richly rewarded! .

Black Market BBQ is, quite simply, the best BBQ I've found in Tucson since moving here 4 years ago…read more My favorites are their ribs and their brisket, both of which have been excellent almost every time I've visited them. The ribs and brisket are so good they don't need any sauce added, but Black Market provides sauce for those who want it. They also have chicken and pulled pork. They don't always have burnt ends or sausages but, when they do, they're amazing. Their sides are quite good too, but I usually stick with the mac n cheese, which is my favorite. Brooks, the owner, runs a well-oiled machine. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. They're a food truck, so you'll have to follow them on social media to find out where they'll be but it's definitely worth the trip. I usually catch them at Caps & Corks at the corner of W River Rd and W Orange Grove Rd. Give them a try. You won't regret it.
