Coming from the south, I know nothing in Arizona could compare to southern BBQ. However, we stopped by Fork & Fire on a Saturday night craving some BBQ and it disappointed. The price point is pretty high for the lack of quality. I ordered baby back ribs. It wasn't sauced very well, there wasn't much meat and it was as tough as jerky. I had to saw the ribs apart with a knife. The beans tasted like Busch's beans. The hot bbq sauce wasn't very hot at all. The pros about our experience was the drinks. Maybe, since it seemed to have opened just recently, they haven't gotten it down to a science yet. Not sure if I'm willing to go back to try again with the price point. read more

Took my daughter here to give it a shot. Much better than the previous establishment. I had chopped brisket and daughter had a grilled pork sandwich which didn't sound good to me but it was excellent. Owner seemed active and I think this restaurant will continue to get even better with time. read more

Not your typical bbq joint! Everything we had was made fresh in house. We had the bacon wrapped jalapeños, brisket/sausage combo with au gratin potatoes (they were just ok) and baked beans, Dickman's Ugly chicken fried steak (Wow!) and green bean medley and 4 cheese smoked macaroni! Excellent service at the bar! We will be back! read more

I ordered their BBQ street tacos. They were served well, as described. Pulled pork was so salty that my salt intake was good for at least 2 days! The shock came on the 3rd taco: bone and gristle! The waitress came to retrieve our plates and courteously asked if I wanted to take the partial remains home. No thanks, I said. Bone in the meat. She was shocked as she should have been. I had an appointment and needed to leave prior to the rest of my party, so left my payment in cash. Thankfully, I found out later that I was comped. That was the right thing to do but, FFS, I won't be back. This was an unacceptable item on their menu and they should immediately find out why this happened! read more

I've had carry-out dinners a couple of times from Fork & Fire - great BBQ...and I'm not a big BBQ guy so that's saying something. I asked them to cater a dinner party for 10 people at my home. Ashley & Company could not have been more helpful in putting the order together. The food arrived on time and got set up with no fuss and no muss. All my guests raved about the dinner....Fork & Fire now has more fans! Thanks to Ashley and the whole team! read more

Okay so we are not typically "bbq" people but this place is AMAZING!! Not only to they offer Ugly Steak (if you know you know) but the service ... unbeatable. Jackie is typically our server and she is absolutely phenomenal, the bar tender whom i have not introduced myself to remember me when i came the second time (how stellar is that) Jackie, Hannah, and one other server make our experience so enjoyable i can't ever see myself choosing another weekly stop. Congratulations owner you have successfully crafted a team of people that make your restaurant THE best in Oro Valley. The lighting outside, view of the mountains and music - how can you beat it! read more

I have been there several times and I have to say their burger is the best, absolutely love it. Perfect combination of flavors. I'm a fan of their chili and Ahi Tuna tacos is a must. Service is always great and cocktails are fantastic. read more

Great food, especially the brisket sandwich, and the cornbread is moist inside with a nice crispy top, worthy of ordering extra to take home

When I came in for lunch the bartender Johnathan really made my day. His posative attitude and friendly demeanor was exactly what I needed to cheer me up. Thank you Johnathan! read more

Very happy with the service and food! We were here for our anniversary yesterday and there was just so much on the menu we wanted to try. We started off with the pulled pork cheese fries and all I can say is that they are out of this world! I thought the cost was a tad pricey @ $15, but after tasting it, I would buy it again without hesitation. I ordered the "ugly steak" and it too was AMAZING! My spouse got the ugly steak salad and also LOVED it! Wanting to try the burnt ends but leaving no room for more food, we opted to get an order to go and once again we were NOT disappointed. Hearty portion and flavors that are out of this world. We will definitely be back soon, as I wasn't yet able to try the fried cheese curds. read more

This crack team of chefs is following our bike riders across Arizona and New Mexico. Our riders are thrilled with the food at the end of the day!! Rave reviews!! I'm vegetarian and Josh has done magic for me!! These guys are amazing. Very savory and tasty!! Run don't walk to their truck!! read more

Fork & fire came to our RV park for an event. The pulled pork was DELICIOUS as were the square tots. The smoked mac and cheese was tasty and cheesy and not to heavy handed with the smoke ( which I appreciated!) Seemed like everyone had a great time at the event and everyone raved about the food. Thanks Fork & Fire for making it a fun and tasty Saturday afternoon for our campers. read more

Wowww! Is all I can say!! Food was delicious!!! We stopped by and it was way worth it. read more

Ok, not sure if this is for the Food Truck or restaurant in Oro Valley but my review is for the restaurant! We went last Friday about 7pm a small wait time. Everyone was pleasant. Food came out in a timely manner. At first we did get dry brisket, not to pleased but before we could even say a thing to our server the kitchen manager brought out new brisket! Currently the hours at the store in Oro Valley are 3-8 but once they are fully staffed I can see this please being a great BBQ spot for lunch and dinner! Could even see it having some great live music in the future. Will say probably the best brisket in Tucson we have found!! Also!!! The fries were real good!! Tasted very similar to an old food trucks fries! Made us wonder! read more

Terrible customer service took 45 minutes to get food waitress was rude!! And unattractive piercing!! Disgusting

James, the smokehouse manager helped us set up a group party at Fork & Fire. He was polite, organized and very professional. Our group had a "blast". The restaurant was clean, well staffed, and the food came out piping hot. If you like baby back ribs...you'll love Fork & Fire. The best ribs in all of Tucson. Our server was Sadie....she was wonderful, really, really wonderful. What can I say...you all have to try this place. read more

Sone of the best BBQ we have ever had! Great staff, fun atmosphere and friendly staff! Highly recommend the fire bombs they are sooooo good!haven't had anything bad! read more

FINALLY a good bbq spot in Oro. First off the cornbread is fire. Omg. Brisket is pull apart goodness. Sauces are fantastic. I'm sooooo happy this opened up here read more

The service is fantastic, they are fast, portions are large and the food is OMG soooo good!!! We got the cheese curds, Mac and cheese, Cubano our first time here. Everything was great. We came back for takeout and still had a great experience. They were fast, friendly and helped walk the food out to our car! 10/10 recommend. read more

This place is awesome. Love the food, love the service and believe the owners do what's necessary to make you feel welcomed and that you enjoy your experience. read more

We visited for the first time today and loved it! Nice menu, great food and service and reasonable prices. We will become regulars!

Wow!   You all make some incredible food!!!!   Everyone at our party is still raving about how good it was!  I know I thoroughly enjoyed my loaded mac and cheese with chicken!   My husband enjoyed the pulled pork plate!! We enjoyed it so much that we ordered more to take home for lunch the next day. The street tacos were the best street tacos I have eaten in the 25 years I have lived in Tucson! In addition to the food, all of your staff were happy, friendly, professional, helpful, and personable!    Overall, a very successful evening for our party!!!  Thank you! read more

Great food and great service. Highly recommend the brisket Mac and cheese. We have been here twice now and haven't had a bad experience. The margaritas aren't bad either. read more

Really not good... brisket is boiled meat no smoke ring..ribs over cooked and tough... Mac and and cheese a joke... coleslaw and cornbread the stars read more

We have been there twice and both times the food and service were excellent. Try the Deviled Eggs and Maui Shrimp appetizers. You won't be disappointed! read more

Good but too expensive . Go and judge for yourself. The food is good . Everyone should go to support a local business person.

I expected at least decent barbecue from this food truck but boy were my expectations blown away. I tried the chili Mac and three meat combo. Each meat was better than the last. It's hard to get good sausage from places, let alone great 'tots', pulled pork, and chicken. If you're looking for good food that makes you find your faith in humanity again look no further. I can't wait to try breakfast!! read more

Very nice experience. Chicken Fried Ugly Steak was great . It came with an excellent cornbread muffin and two sides. My wife had the Ugly Steak Salad and loved it. We couldn't finish everything but it was all good. Friendly staff, eager to make you happy, adds to the experience. Nice place. We will come again. Sorry but I just had the bread pudding and it was better than good! read more

Terrible wait time for food (over an hour). Slow service. Iced tea with no ice. Dish was supposed to have gravy on top but they put cheese sauce with an actual macaroni noodle on top of chicken fried steak. Uncomfortable chairs for that long wait. One of the worst restaurant experiences of my life. Won't ever go back. read more

VERY inhospitable crew-obvious reflection of owners-no smiles, Rude, acted like they hated being there. I wouldn't spend a nickel at this place. read more

The food was fantastic - and quick! The staff did a great job. Would definitely go back again!

The service was very good, the food wasn't. I ordered the brisket which the waitress had recommended as one of the house's specialties. The meat was over cooked and dry, and after trimming away the fat, there was only 3 to 4 ounces of meat, which I thought was awfully pricey for $26. This was my first and last time eating there. read more

Staff was nice. Food was great but a bit pricey. However, the portions are big. Everything on the menu makes us want to come back to try other things. read more

I have one thing to say the Hawaiian Shrimp is to die for!! The smoked pulled pork Mac and cheese was yummy. Hubby said the beans and brisket were great. Can't wait to try more! Nice to have something new in OV!! read more

We enjoyed the food and the ambiance! We told all our family and friends about it!! We are Definitely coming back!!

Well I really wanted to find a good rib and BBQ Place. The waiters and service was great. But I ordered a 1/2 slab of ribs which as dry as jerky ,tried to revive them lots of sauce (which is very tasty) but they were still Jerky. Wife had a Cobb salad with pulled chicken which also needed some no lots of sauce to make it able to eat. Salad was good blue cheese dressing good. Beer cold and server was good. read more

Honestly the tacos are my favorite forrrr Sure! Food is amazing. I for one dont usually go anywhere that is/has bbq foods, mainly because it's always a disappointing experience. However with Fork & Fire I found something different!! As I think about it, I don't think I would even call this a "BBQ Truck!! I mean we are talking about some of the best midwestern chili I have ever had, this means chili dogs, chili cheese tots, or just a fully loaded bowl on these "chili"Tucson afternoons. This truck has a mix of everything, pulled pork, smoked sausage, and all kinds of chicken dishes including a very unique yet very delicious version of he boring old chicken salad sandwich. Here's the kicker...it's all homemade recipes (yea that's right!!) As good as the food is, so can not express enough how great the guys are who own and run this truck. Great family, great people, great food, everything else is just extra!! We love Fork & Fire!!! read more
