TL;DR: Come for the proteins, make your own sides…read more Came and was immediately welcomed in by the staff and given a rundown of the menu, including sharing her personal favorites and crowd favs. The Mac&Cheese and the beans were both just alright - wouldn't get them again.. The dill potato salad was the best of the bunch. The brisket was delicious - perfectly tender. Spare ribs were also fall off the bone perfection. Chicken was juicier than expected and much more flavorful. Even the hot links, which I'm usually just alright, packed a punch - couldn't stop eating! The staff was so friendly and helpful - such a family vibe :) Cheers, Bashful Bandit Barbecue!

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!

We used to love this barbecue spot, but the service has become absolutely terrible. The posted…read moreclosing time is 8:00 PM, and while I understand it is posted that the dining room closes at 7:40 PM, it is not so serious that you should immediately turn away a family walking in right at that exact minute. Rejecting my wife and two kids and willfully losing out on revenue twenty minutes before the restaurant actually closes is completely unacceptable. I hope management starts paying closer attention to how their staff treats incoming patrons. Your food might be good, but you are not that special. Show some respect to your customers. We will never be coming back.

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!!

The move to counter service completely changed the vibe of this restaurant, and not for the better…read more Service used to be the biggest highlight, and now it feels like you're paying the same prices for a much lower level of attention. As someone who frequented this restaurant for the last few years, I had a firsthand look at how things were run, and in my experience management operated very unprofessionally. It ultimately pushed me to stop supporting this business, and based on those experiences, I can no longer recommend it. There are far better BBQ options out there. From what I personally witnessed, the owner, David, was consistently disrespectful toward employees and created a company culture that I don't believe deserves support. Also important to note that there is something up with the drains/ sewer system in this building and about once a week the entire dining room smells like a sewer leak.. gross

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! .
