You get 6 for $10, which is a steal. My favorites were the Mexican Lager and Strawberry Blonde. They were delicious! We were impressed with how good the food was! We did the wings, fried green beans, truffle fries, and the Southwestern Smoked Chicken sandwich. Would recommend them all! Everything was fresh and very well made. So good! Only knock was the service. It seems that they're understaffed so there was 1 server for the whole dining area. Not her fault, she was a gem, but long waits.. If you're coming to town, THAT is a excellent choice to visit! Sit outside, enjoy the weather, and have some great food and drinks. We will be back!

Hello Everyone: This review is for Rim Country BBQ and Wood Fired Pizzas in Payson, AZ…read more This was our first time at this restaurant. We would definitely come back again. Because we could not decide what to order, we got the sampler plate which had meats, sides, and dipping sauces. The photos show you the "before" and "after" of our meal! Bathrooms are clean. We had no problem finding off-street parking. Analysis of experience: This plate is enough for two people. You get: two ribs, two 1/2 pieces of sausage, a scoop of pulled pork (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup), two thin slices of brisket and some sliced smoked turkey breast. Also included is a sampler container of their dipping sauces to enjoy with your meat. Sides included: baked beans, corn, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, potato salad and mac & cheese. Our meat favorites were the ribs and the pulled pork. This is why: I first tried a bit of each meat with no sauce. I don't want to review sauces and sauces can cover up/mask many issues just like a coat of paint on a wall. Therefore, I started with meat (no sauce) tastings, then moved to the meat and sauce tasting. Ribs: The rib meat easily cut off the bone and was tender. There was not a lot of meat, the bones were pretty big as you can see, but what meat there was had a nice flavor and was tender. Pulled Pork: The pulled pork was some of the most tender I have experienced. This meat went well with ALL the dipping sauces served to us. I did not get a lot of smoke flavor to it, the flavor was subtle, but that allowed for the sauces to shine a little bit. Brisket: The brisket was tender, but I felt the fat line on the top of the brisket was still too intact for me (not rendered enough so the fat juices get down into the meat) and I thought the brisket was a tad dry. Turkey: The turkey breast had a nice flavor, but again, it was very subtle. This meat was also a tad dry, not bad with sauce on it, but could have been a little juicier. That was perhaps my least favorite because it was on the dry side. Sausage: The sausage was 1/2 of a sausage cut in 1/2 again as you can see in the photo. This was a spicy sausage with a charred cut side, very nice. The char on the sausage added a nice crunch to each bite. My husband and I both agreed our favorites were the ribs and the pulled pork and should we return, these two meats would be on our radar. Regarding the sides, here is my review: The yellow corn was average - nothing special. The mashed potatoes were average - nothing special. Mac & Cheese - average, nothing special. The sauce on this item was too runny for us. The sauce wound up against other items on the plate. The cole slaw was nice, fresh tasting, but I think it needed a dash of fennel. The coleslaw and the potato salad (items which are served cold) were co-mingled on the plate with all the hot items. I would have preferred them being served inside a small bowl or container on the serving platter to keep them cold. The potato salad was very good - I would definitely order that again. The beans were excellent - I would definitely order those again. This menu item is also served with a piece of garlic bread which was very good - it had melted butter on it and tasted like garlic! I am giving this 5 Stars even with some short falls regarding flavor and or juiciness because of the environment, friendly staff, clean bathrooms, available to find parking without driving around, and menu choices. The menu is large, enough choices for everyone to get something. If we are back in the area, we will try one of their pizzas. Hannah was our server and she did a nice job checking on us since she knew it was our first time there. Very pleasant, nice smile, and good with her customers. Enjoy!

The Tap Room at the Old County Inn -- Worth the Trip Tucked…read moreup in Pine, Arizona, the Old County Inn's "Tap Room" runs the full OCI menu but operates as a super-fun, super-small neighborhood bar -- and our friend Nikki is the reason it's worth the trip. Nikki works with the efficiency of a Swiss watch. She can wait on you, serve you, and juggle two other tasks all at once -- chatting the whole time about how great it is to be in Pine. She knows everyone's name, what they usually order, and even a little about who they are. She truly is the hostess with the mostess. The Tap Room is small -- it seats about 25 to 30 -- but it carries an incredible inventory: craft draft beer, tasty wines, and amazing cocktails, plus some great bourbons and whiskeys. No matter how packed it gets (and it gets very busy, all the time, usually standing room only), Nikki is at your table at exactly the right moment to ask if you "need another," want to "order some food," or could use a glass of water. It's amazing to watch, and it creates one of the most fun atmospheres in the whole state of Arizona. They've got live music too -- one- or two-person bands whose singers are part of the crowd, not just there to entertain. It really is "a bar where everyone knows your name." Nikki is the star. She's your hostess, your server, your bartender -- and most importantly, your friend. I couldn't recommend the Tap Room at OCI more. Go see Nikki. As the saying goes, it's worth the trip.

Disclaimer: rarely five stars as there is always room for improvement…read more So, I left my card here the other day! Joe called me back and is mailing it! Thank you! But while I had him on the phone I asked some questions. First off, I found this place back in 2021, but they open at 4. And my pine strawberry trip is quarterly. So yes I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. We were greeted and sat. They had zucchini flower app, we opted in. While I wasn't a huge fan of the balsamic, the flower had a perfect combo of mascarpone and ricotta, and deep fried in a light batter. Really good. I had the 1/2 and 1/2 ravioli, which are bought. Joe told me. The sauce was amazing and the sausage CANNOT be missed. Made in house and it is dope af. I want a shipment My friend had the manicotti which looked amazing. Bread is delish and you get a choice of soup or salad. Sadly, they were out of soup so salads was the option and honestly it was really good. And I'm not a salad girl. I will return. Pizza next. Joe is a one man show and the food quality is amazing. Again hours are wonk, but call and they have them recorded. Very impressive old school meals.
