So so food, prime rib, sirloin and ribeye steaks were tough. Loud bar area that night (Saturday) Service was slow Prickly pear margarita was delicious! read more

Servers are nice and food is decent, but Barnfire is not a dining experience that warrants hours to partake in. 15 minutes, order drinks. 30 minutes later, order. 2 hours more to get food. After 40 more minutes from the table being cleared we were asked if we were doing well. Um, NO, we're waiting for our checks. When the checks finally arrived they were incorrect, The only reason we didn't walk out was because we were chatting with our guests. I'd like to say it was busy, but that wasn't the case. A 25 person birthday party arrived and left at the same time - 3.5 hours. Is this so normal that no one ever acknowledged the poor service, long wait, or errors? I do not recommend sitting in the restaurant. read more

This place is fun. My stepdaughter and her three little boys said we should try it not knowing that Tuesday nights are trivia night. Really loud and not exactly the best place to talk to seven year-old twins and a 11 year-old but we did and we had fun, and the food was great, which I have no pictures of because of the quickness. It was gone for my three little goons. But if you wanna have fun in Tucson on a Tuesday night go to barn, fire it rocks and the hostess who does the trivia is really really fun. oh, the happy hour. Food and drinks are really, really good. read more

My friend's boyfriend chose this place for us to go to for lunch yesterday. They've been in the past. We walked into the bar area & just seated ourselves at a high top. We waited a few minutes before someone came over to greet us. It was an older, blonde female. She never told us her name but she had asked us if we wanted something to drink. I inquired about seltzers & they only had High noon Watermelon & White claw Mango. I was disappointed in their slim options so I asked for a Tito's soda with lemon. She brought our drinks over right away & of course there was a lime in my drink & she apologized & said it was her fault and quickly came back with lemons. I order the fried mushroom & fried zucchini appetizer and it came out prior to my meal. I actually perfer zucchini spears, they serve slices. These veggies were OK. They came with a side of ranch. The portion wasn't worth the cost of them. Another waitress, Kelsey (I asked her her name as she was so friendly/nice) was running around who brought out our appetizer but I had to ask for another silverware setting as there was only 2 on the table to begin with & there were 3 of us. I also had to ask for plates so I could share with my friends. I decided to go with the brisket with cheese sandwich & substituted my fries for onion rings. I had asked our waitress if the onion rings were homemade & she said "no, but they're really good." I also added a side of Western beans. The brisket was dry but it came with a side of yummy, sweet BBQ sauce....thank God! I didn't want the bun & just ate the brisket. The onion rings were OK & I didn't like the beans. They weren't sweet @ all & had a spicy kick to them. She was nice & took them off my bill when I told her I didn't like them. Our waitress did come back shortly after we dug into our food to ask us how things were & if we needed anything. She was a good waitress but man she seemed so miserable. She wasn't happy or chipper and it seemed like she didn't want to be there by her demeanor. There were games on the big screen TV's near by. This seems to be a "sports bar." AZ was playing. I did find that it was hard to hear my friend's while trying to converse with them. We asked for our check & she asked if we wanted any to-go containers which my friend's did as they had left overs. Things were brought over shortly but once she dropped the check off she took off, my friend even had her CC out & ready to cash out. I'm giving 3 stars due to the food & the prices of the food. It's definitely frozen bar food & it wasn't that great. Over priced IMO. 4 stars for our waitress & Kelsey. Just wished our waitress was happier & friendlier. read more

We tried this place again to try something new and different. I was actually in the mood for a tri-tip which it seems nobody in Tucson offers anymore after chewy's has closed and was hoping that they would have it, but they did not. I went for the prime rib, sliders, and my wife went for the brisket sliders. The meals come with many choices for sides and they have about three different types of fries you can get. My wife got the Texas fries, which is basically homemade from the real potato and I got the crinkle cut fries. The food itself is very good. My fries weren't exactly piping hot but hard enough to eat. Our waitress was very nice and on top of things. We found out that this place has music, trivia, and music bingo. I forget which days it is, but we just might have to check that out. read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - Menu - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We always love barn, fire Grill, but after tonight we won't order from there again. We ordered the prime rib and it was so tough. We could barely chew it and it wasn't seasoned well at all the mashed potatoes and gravy no salt no seasoning had no flavor except maybe a little salty gravy also ordered the brisket sandwich. The brisket sandwich had hardly any meat on it at all. It didn't even look like a brisket sandwich. It looked like a pulled pork sandwich. The bun was all soggy. We ordered coleslaw. It was dry and no flavor and also a side of beans and the beans were disgusting. They weren't cooked properly no seasoning and they went one spoonful and directly in the trash. We won't be going there again. I don't know what's happened to this place but after paying almost 60 bucks it was a total waste of money. I don't know who's cooking there but they could use a new chef read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - This is our brisket sandwich that we paid $18 for what a disappointment . - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The brisket is absolute trash. I couldn't even cut it. Sausage was spicy and ok. Service was average.

This is an extremely good place to watch sports. Friendly, attentive staff, numerous TV's, and a good selection of beverages. Food? They offer it but I have not yet tried it... The place is a lot larger than one would think. The bar is separate from the dining room. They offer Karaoke and Trivia on certain nights as well. Customers are middle aged and older, seemingly friendly and welcoming. The dining room was fairly empty compared to the bar area. read more

The sports bar section is great! Friendly bartenders and waitresses. Stopped last night to check it out for watching football today. The bartender remembered what I was drinking. Good prices on food and drinks. The ribs were delicious. Love the sport bar atmosphere. Good music also. read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - My pesto grilled chicken was outstanding came with a really nice salad. - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

So disappointed. My daughter and I were excited by all the menu choices but execution and service fell short. I rated it a 2 because we didn't finish the food and it was not good enough to take home. First failure our water and sprite never came. The waiter literally disappeared. When he showed up again and we asked for our drinks he had clearly forgotten all about them. The food was slow to arrive. My daughter ordered a burger. As it was delivered she had to ask for all the condiments. They didn't come with the burger nor were they on the table. She took two bites of her burger and pushed it away as terrible. I ordered pesto pasta with salmon. The pasta tasted like they used a box of instant pasta. The salmon portion was large but dry. I ate my salmon only. Then we had to wait and wait for the check. The restaurant was half full on a Saturday night. I think the company needs to get some mystery shoppers in and restructure and retrain. read more

Had dinner here for the first time in a while. Ordered a ribeye. My steak was cooked OK. The cut of meat was strange. Not the best ribeye for sure. My salad was not that good as it wasn't mixed well and had chucks of lettuce and onions. The bar is fun and a-little dated but good place to watch football. Overall disappointing food. One bright spot is their service is spot on! read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - Bone in ribeye. Coleslaw and a sweet potatoe. Cooked medium rare and just right! - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We went there today for the corned beef and cabbage meal. The corned beef was very fatty, greasy, and some parts were overdone and tough. The cabbage tasted good but didn't look good, a strange color and edges were burnt. The boiled potatoes were delicious. Two dinners and two soft drinks came to $59. What a waste of money. I told the server the meat had a lot of fat on it and she ignored me. We sat in a booth by a window. The window sill had dead bugs, a fly trapped by the blinds and a creepy crawling bug. We were so sorry we stay! read more

I had to find someone to seat us on Memorial Day evening. Hardly anybody dining just a few people in booths. Bar seemed busy. finally the gal told me it was only her and one other girl working when our server came she said they don't have any baked potatoes right now. They used them all earlier in the day. I thought what is going on? She said it'd be 20 minutes. My husband and son said they'd wait. Took our order and salads, it would be 20 minutes. The food was pretty but the still looks like they're about to close! read more

Service was very poor. Our server was very nice but it must have been a kitchen issue as it took us almost 2 hours. Food was hit and miss, several of us lived our food while others thought it was poor. But the slowness of our experience is what is driving this poor review. read more

We just came here 11/22 at 6:15 and nobody even ask what we wanted to drink. A hostess came by asking if we ordered hot tea and we said no. But she could've came back and asked us for our drinks next. We sat there for 30 minute and nobody cared to take our order. Also, it wasn't busy at all. We would come here because it was convenient since we live nearby, now we won't be coming back. read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - Margarita - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food was excellent! One of the best briskets I have ever had. Ordered the brisket/chicken combo with mashed potatoes and gravy, and Texas beans. The chicken was so good. Potatoes, also amazing. However, the beans were undercooked. But our server offered a replacement side, so we got Texas toast- which was really good. The BBQ sauce was perfection. Not too sweet, not too spicy. An excellent blend of both. At this time the restaurant was nearly empty, yet our food took a long time to arrive. Our server was friendly, helpful, and professional. We'll definitely be back. read more

I eat here a lot for lunch because it's close to my office. Service is always good and food is solid. The brisket is really delish!

Came here last Wednesday for a birthday dinner. We got the onion rings as an appetizer and they were delicious, great batter and fried perfectly. Unfortunately the rest of the food did not live up to the onion rings. I got the pulled pork sandwich, which was okay. The mac n cheese was horrendous - overcooked pasta with what looked like merely broiled, shredded cheese? Making a roux is simple and adding cheese that has actual flavor is not much to ask for.. I would have been happier with boxed mac n cheese, to be honest. The other people got steak fries, beans, and grilled chicken and the bbq sampler with brisket and pulled pork. The beans were also strange - they were super spicy, but not in the sense that they were hot, just a ton of actual spices to the point where they were a bit gritty. The brisket was sad and dry. The chicken was bland, but it was cooked well and not dry. Our server was great and it was not very loud on a Wednesday. I wouldn't come back. The food is mediocre for the price. read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - Pulled pork sandwich and Mac n cheese - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Eighteen Dollars for a lunchmeat sandwich. Green Chile Turkey Melt sandwich was 18 dollars. I asked if they did their turkey and she said yes. That made me expect real sliced turkey. Was clammy smooth rubbery lunchmeat with that fake smoked turkey flavoring. The predominant flavor of the whole sandwich was the cheap margarine dripping from the soaked under-toasted bread. The Texas Style Beans side was confusing. Do they not cook beans in Texas? These were crunchy. We won't feel the need to try their other offerings. read more

GO STEELERS! Lotsa love here for the Black & Yellow.  Bar was 90% full for the Wild Card Raven match up. Met some friendly Penn State & Pitt Steeler fans which was awesome.  Green Bay is the back up, U of A flags, Cardinals etc, it's a great Sports Bar!  Quieter Dining Room in the other side.  4+ local taps incl Dragoon, Barrio Blonde, 2 Hazys and domestics $6 a pitcher during HHr 11-4pm daily,  $8 Specialty cocktails and Margheritas all sounded like beach hut pours, pass except for a Moscow Mule and a $11 Patron Cadillac.  Hubby and I shared the Half Rack Combo $34 with brisket. A Caesar counts as a side here, bummer, so took a spud for our 2nd side. Caesar dressing had great flavor, think it was bottled, served in a solo on side, and lots of Parm sprinkles, it was a tasty beginning. As a side, next time would ask for it to come out first before the hot mains so we have time to eat it as our mains got cold while eating the salad. Ribs 3.5/5 were fall off bone though we prefer a bit of give/chew, good bark though and BBQ sauce has slight vinegar tang, not sickly sweet, we used all of it too. Brisket though you get 3 huge, meaty thick 3/4" slabs, they were not as good as the ribs. More steamed texture, flaky dry, bland vs a moist smoky chew; salt n sauce helped 3/5. Baked potato came unwrapped, fresh and cooked through as you'd expect, sour cream butter on side, but what no chives/onion? Overall enjoyed everything enough with Lotsa meat, and even sharing we still had 2 ribs and half piece brisket leftover.  Hubby ordered chocolate cake and it came warm chopped up in slices, somewhat small esp for a piece of cake, with 3 scoops ice cream... pretty sure this was the brownie sundae haha but this our 3rd waitress told us she was new and didn't know much, said yes it was the choc cake and is served with ice cream. But warm? So the Mystery dessert was delish 5/5, but more of the so called cake/or brownie could be increased by double for better ratio cake: scoops. A clean plate regardless haha. The coffee though is thin in flavor and a bit sour but provided the warmth and dark sip needed to accompany dessert but kinda steep $4 for restaurant brewed.  Waitress didn't know the brand either and forgot to find out for us..we're Portlanders so you know coffee rules there, we need to know, so we can avoid it at another place lol. Tip: make a break to sneak in a *Bucks from nearby Bashas, same car lot to really make dessert enjoyable ;) Have to return to see the Steeler homies, the food 3/5 is good enough, servers are all attentive and fly by you frequently, Steeler Bar makes it a 5, so putting a 4* here for ambience and aok pub grub. Thanks Barnfire for a Win-Win today, Steelers 'W' and meeting the Sonoran Steeler Nation, yee haw! read more

Man I so wanted to like this meal. First I showed up to pickup a Togo order and the front desk girl was in the back chatting instead of watching the front door. I waited patiently even though I could see her talking it up in the back- but it happens. She finally notices me, grabs my Togo order and thanks me for coming. As I grab my food I ask if there are utensils in the bag, to which she responds "sorry we don't have any". I explained to her that I'm staying in a hotel and require utensils. She responds then my "hotel should have some". To which I reply, "sorry should you". She then let me know that she's been telling her manager to order them but he hasn't done it yet. Arrghhh. Welp what can I do I go to the grocery store next door and get some- great. Finally I get to my hotel and shocker my medium rare steak is over cooked and the broccoli was under cooked. Too bad seemed like it could have been good- on a different note sweet potato was awesome. Too bad there wasn't salt and pepper in my bag either. So disappointed. read more

I called at 9 and 9:30pm Friday night for an order but I guess that's too late to order and pick up less than a mile away smh

slow service. Waitress did not come over and food took forever. Food was great when it came.

I understand when restaurants are dealing with staffing issues. I understand when wait staff gets overwhelmed. I don't know if this was A staffing issue when we went because I did notice A lot of people walking around who looked like they worked there. The bar was busy so perhaps that's where staff attention goes too. Its hard to write A review like this because we were A 15 top. When we walked in I would guess that there were 6 other tables who had either already eaten or were also waiting. Long story longer... it was one hour from the time we sat until our food order was taken. Somewhere in that time frame our drinks were served and an additional 45 minutes before we had our food in front of us. You know that moment when everyone is talking and then the table gets quiet once the food is serve? Well that happened around that one hour mark. By the time we had our food the restaurant was empty and the bar was emptying out. Food was great and A lot of it. We had A BBQ combo. The meat was delish and the side plates didn't disappoint. If your going here hungry prepare to crawl in the surrounding desert crying for water. read more

Whoa! I'm actually shocked how terrible our experience was here. 1st time here and definitely will not be coming back. We had a table of 6 and literally everyone's order was bad. We had a well done burger that was raw. We had a medium rare steak that was pure leather that you couldn't not chew with a potato that was rotten inside. Alfredo with chicken came out cold and dry and a chicken tender basket with only 2 nuggets. Feeling super ripped off although the waitress was very kind. read more

First time we walked in, I thought it will be a disappointment. Dining area is packed, they have large groups. So we don't have a choice but to sit at the bar area. It turned out good, cause it's Thursday Night Football. It's loud but it's not annoying. I kinda liked the atmosphere. And food is good, I didn't hear my boys complain about anything. They give you big portion, I split a plate with my husband and I still can't finish it. I don't mind coming back here. read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - Burned Grilled cheese sandwich. - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Had the pleasure of eating a steak here for the first time. I usually just have drinks at the bar and some appetizers. The food was cooked perfectly and the portions were well worth the money. The others in my group were also impressed with the quality of food and the size of the portions. The menu is rather large and there is something for everyone on it. Bbq is the main attraction here and it delivers it perfectly. The bar (which is one of my favorites) is well stocked with different price points of alcohol and the beer on tap is nice and cold. The beer selection is pretty nice. I didn't get any photos this time , but imagine the perfect photo of a steak dinner, and that was what it is. The service staff was friendly, attentive, even though it was super busy at the time of my visit. read more

I decided to try Barnfire on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and was pleasantly surprised at how down home good it was. They offer a large menu selection of southwest comfort foods, burgers and steaks. I decided to try the brisket queso and it was very good (sude note: it's way too big for one person) For my main course I tried the country fried steak sandwich which also was very good. The side of steak fries were perfectly cooked too. I will certainly be back to continue to explore the menu and recommend stopping for something that will fill you up. read more

Barnfire Mesquite Grill - Brisket Queso Dip - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

There were some aspects of this place I really liked and other things that just didn't work well for me. I wasn't sure what to expect but had high hopes as I was in the mood for some BBQ. We ordered fried mushrooms for an appetizer, then I ordered the combo plater of BBQ Ribs and beef brisket with sides of coleslaw and Caesar salad. My boyfriend ordered the pulled pork sandwich with side of Texas fries. The food was mostly a hit except for the "Caesar Salad" which was a huge disappointment. Also the beef brisket was not what I would consider brisket at all. It resembled pulled pork but served sliced like brisket. My boyfriend didn't like the Texas fries, which are essentially round fried potatoes. The big hit for me were the ribs. They were absolutely delicious and fell right off the bone. And the sauce they were cooked in was excellent. The fried mushrooms and coleslaw were also great. The service, while okay, wasn't exactly good or bad. Our server was soft spoken and seemed like he didn't want to be there. He only checked on us once, when he brought out our food. We didn't see him again until he brought the bill. I definitely had leftovers...enough for 2 meals! So it was well worth it. They had a lot of menu items so we will most likely be back to try something else! read more

How can this place have been open all these years with such bad food. Three of the four dishes we ordered were way below average. Avoid the pork ribs at all costs as these things were a giant slab of fat. You won't even get to the bones. My well done hamburger was sent back, only to be returned at about 80 percent of well doneness. Other problems were the cherry cobbler and long waits for food and service. read more
