Not much on country music... but you can't beat great meat!!!
Food overall was good. Craft beer delicious. Servers were great. Greater asked us if we needed something. Ah yeah, to be seated since we were hungry. Overall I'd go back, especially to check out the music.
Nice place. Good atmosphere. High quality food. El macho burger sauce was liquid fire. Insane spicy. Not enough warning given on the menu about it... I love spicy and this was too much. Also have had the goat sausage, fried chicken, fried chicken, pork ribs and 3-way burger... ALL were great 2023 edit: THEY TOOK AWAY BURGERS!!!! BRING BACK BURGERS
Quite a large dining area and an outdoor patio. Interesting bar decor. I had the lunch special of fatty brisket with two sides which was plenty of food. Our waiter said that the special is a slightly smaller portion. Mine wasn't too fatty, friends though had a bit more. The pinto beans were tasty with some burnt ends included. Live music on a stage on Friday nights. This is a fun spot!
Despite the abundance of staff, the service at Butcher John’s BBQ was disappointingly slow and disorganized. Regrettably, my order arrived 15 minutes late, and the food was dry and unappealing. Despite requesting sweet potato tots, I received soggy and undercooked SP fries instead. This experience was underwhelming, leading us to offer the subpar meat (beef brisket) to our dogs and discard the fries. On a positive note, our search for exceptional barbecue led us to compare Butcher John’s with the Bashful Butcher, revealing a remarkable contrast. The Bashful Butcher presented tender, flavorful meat—a true culinary delight in contrast to the lackluster experience at Butcher John’s. While Butcher John’s failed to meet our expectations, it prompted an appreciation for establishments like the Bashful Butcher, where food is crafted with pride and excellence. Unlike the delectable melt-in-your-mouth experience at the Bashful Butcher, Butcher John’s barbecue left much to be desired. As someone new to Tucson, discovering a reputable barbecue spot was essential, and though Butcher John’s fell short, it served as a valuable learning experience. The picture below are a comparison between the dry, stiff meat stick from Butcher Johns and the tender, juicy sandwich from The Bashful Butcher is stark. In an attempt to salvage Butcher John’s brisket, I resorted to dousing it with barbecue sauce, hoping to add some moisture and tenderness. Unfortunately, it was a futile effort, and the brisket remained disappointingly dry and tough.
Fantastic food! The large Family Style meal options are great for small groups. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Great overall atmosphere.
Very loud and the food seemed over priced for what you get and not enough staff for all the tables rarely seen our waitress
The band D N C was excellent.
