    The food tasted great, however, it took over 40 minutes for it to come out. Also, had to go to the front to ask for my check since I was never checked in on after given my food. The servers were all super sweet the brief moment I did speak to them so I don't know if maybe they were short staffed the day that I went in but probably wouldn't be back, just based off the service and time.

    Sweet deals brought us back, the service will keep us! CC was our server, and she was the best server we have had in a long time! We decided to share the surf n turf. The steak we got was a ribeye, it was cooked perfectly & tasted great. The lobster tail unfortunately was not so great. FYI, it is NOT a maine lobster tail. So its not as sweet. Personally I did not care for it. Otherwise, everything was great. We also found out that they are undee new ownership & now they cook all of their food in house under an open flame! :) Thet made other changes as well, such as they got rid of the salad bar. They have very cool western decor & she said they have live music now on Wednesdays I believe. Oh & they have happy hour from 3-6pm every day! We will definitely be back :)

    Wowsy! Stopped in for lunch after VW show at Chirco. Seated instantly. Drinks served with a smile. Ordered platter to share and whoa! What a delight! Chef deserves a kiss! Nice and clean! Appreciate that! Plus I was offered a drink to try.... Holiday drink! So go in and give it a name!!!! When we head Eastside will stop in!

    Happy Hour at the bar with Kim on a Friday with ice cold Dragoon IPA, hot toasted fried cheese curds with spicy ketchup, chipotle mayo dips. Kim adroitly & sweetly served the bar and surrounding tables with kindness.

    My Husband and I used to come here all the time when they opened 10 years ago. After the VID happened in 2020 it kinda went downhill and a lot of items were removed from the menu. We had date night last night and decided to give them another try. I am SO GLAD we did. The East Side lacks great eateries and The Horseshoe Grill is now back up in our top 3. Apparently there are new owners, so that might have to do with the excellent experience we had with our dinner last night. Not to mention our absolutely amazing waitress, Jaycie. She was so attentive, hilarious, and really made our experience top notch. We got the bbq sampler platter which was amazing. The drinks (Moscow mule and Long Island) were excellent and the zucchini sticks were the best we have ever had. It was a bit slow but we got there pretty late at around 8:30. I am hoping East Side Tucsonas will once again start frequenting this establishment. You will NOT be disappointed!

    Right now, this place is only open a few days each week, as we'd tried to go during the week earlier. Hoping they'll increase the number of days they're open, as they seem to do a good business. We had a very good meal there. We chose the one-trip to the salad bar as our sides. The salad bar was clean with fresh ingredients. The platters we ordered came to the table quickly, were very flavorful (brisket and pulled pork), and tender. They came with Texas toast as well. We got some complimentary hot rolls ahead of the meal, but they seemed to just be regular rolls you could buy at a grocery store. Our server was attentive and friendly. There were tables and booths, as well as a bar area, with the kitchen kind of in the middle of the space.

    stopped by for drink. has nice small bar. definitely a family steakhouse and has the smell and feel of old school steakhouse. Has some TVs and convenient for watching football on wknds. Prices are what you would expect for a nice steakhouse. Drink prices are good.

    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!

The ribs, on the other hand, were delicious, tender, flavorful, and definitely my favorite of the two meats. They also have a nice selection of BBQ sauces to choose from, which is always a plus if you like to customize your meats. Overall, a solid BBQ spot with plenty of space, good service, and tasty ribs.

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.

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

    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.

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.
