Ordered the smoked wings all flats to go. I got the garlic truffle parm and buffalo hot, which also came w carrots/celery wrapped in the middle. Very nice touch. They also gave me three ranch containers-- THANK YOU. Food was ready on time and still hot when I got home. read more

This is my first visit. The vibe and the experience was amazing, but the food was unfortunately disappointing. I have no one to blame but myself. I should have stick with the items with the Food Network logo next to them, but I was craving for some brisket. The sauce shouldn't be on the brisket but on the side in my opinion and it was just meh. Not spicy enough. I'll probably go back just because now I'm curious how the Triple D highlighted items actually taste like. Jada was a lovely server and needs to be praised on her attentiveness during the busy time at the dining room. read more

We had a great USA World Cup lunch at Bonfire yesterday afternoon, topped off with a USA win over Australia. Our server worked both the bar and our table and was friendly and kept our beers refilled. I had several of the house brews and really enjoyed the Orange Wheat and Ember Ale. Our group of World Cup Watchers started with the sampler platter and the cheese curds, fries and fried pickles were delicious. I ordered the smoked wings smothered in BBQ sauce and they were very good. The smokiness added a uniqueness to a meaty wing. I do think they could upgrade the TV set up by adding some 85 inch flat panels because my elderly eyes struggled to see the action from some of the TVs a little further away from our bar area hi-top. Nevertheless, it's a great bar restaurant that includes a game room. I can see why Bonfire is typically busy when I drive by it, on my way to pick up some beer or booze at Total Wine nearby. Thanks, Bonfire for being a fun, good luck World Cup host. Go USA! *Tip* Bonfire is kid friendly with a kids menu and gaming room. Bring on the NFL season! read more

Lately, this has been a frequent place for lunch meet-ups during the course of the week. This last trip I went with the 2 meat combo platter and bumped it up by having the beef brisket, which added another $4on top. In addition, we had the smoked wings, which is nice that you can also order all flats or drumettes, but it does cost a few $ more, I believe & the scoop fries. Our server, Krystal, was exceptional in customer service, which is why I've given 4 stars as the food was on point for lunch and came out in a timely manner but was "missing" something on the brisket. She frequently checked on us in terms of beverages need & any other things once our food arrived. Trivia and more throughout the week during Dinner, so check out the flyers and postings if you're looking for some entertainment while dinning read more

Tried out Bonfire for Happy Hour. This was our first time at this establishment. It previously was a Tilted Kilt when I lived in the area before. Now it is has a dog friendly patio and game room. We met some friends for a few drinks and to watch the Nebraska basketball game. My understanding is that the owners like both Michigan University and Nebraska. I can support that, Go Big Red!!! Anyway, the happy hour was decent for drinks. Somewhat limited for specials on food. We ended up ordering the smoked wings. The wings were good and large in size. My husband ordered the tender and potatoes. He was underwhelmed by the breading on the tenders. All-in all, very nice establishment. The frozen margaritas were good. I was very buzzed off three of those. Our waitress was great and friendly. Shout out to the bus boy for keeping our table clean at all times. Will be back to partake in some more games in the rear and play some pool and shuffleboard. read more

So I was in Chandler last Friday looking for a happy hour spot and discovered that some of the former spots I used to frequent were no longer open. Z Tejas is closed, sandbar is no longer on Ray Road and there doesn't seem to be a new alternative. So as I was leaving the area, I happen to look to my left and see bonfire with quite a few cars in the parking lot and decided to try it out. Boy was I happy I made that decision! If you live in Chandler and you haven't visited this place, you need to check it out. The menu is pretty extensive and pretty eclectic, but really good. They feature a ton of smoked meats and barbecue, but they also have things like Gumbo meatloaf and pizza! They also have a very extensive drink menu with a lot of options that should cover everybody's taste. Our server was also a manager named Paige, who was excellent! And this restaurant is huge with three different dining room rooms and two outdoor spaces plus plenty of parking. This may not be the official new happy hour spot in Chandler, but it definitely is mine! Can't wait to go back. read more

Bonfire - Beef Brisket Smoked Wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My husband and I bought a new car last night and our salesperson recommended this place. Since it stayed open late and it was close by, we decided to give it a go. Excellent Bar environment if you like bar food. They also have a few upgrades like a meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy if you're not craving the ol' burger and fries. Don't let this place fool you to thinking it's typical. They have bingo night and their chicken wings are large and meaty with a variety of sauces. We tried the Wecks and it came with Au ju sauce. Very flavorful. I also topped it off with a blueberry wheat beer. Yum checkout the pics below. read more

This was our second time coming to Bonfire and we specifically came for the Hypnotist Show that was scheduled. You pay for the event ($35) which includes dinner. The night of the show, what they do is give you a wristband and you are given $20 off your meal order. We had a large group joining us and we got there early in order to secure a table, which staff helped us with. Everything was great in that respect. Food was amazing! We had the burnt ends (so yummy!), patty melt, cole slaw, tater tots, and fried zucchini. Service during the busy event was tricky at best. There were 9 of us and 7 got their meals, the 8th meal came a bit later and my meal was totally gone! They made up for it by reordering and I did get the tater tots before the patty melt! Their patty melt is served on a rye roll, which for me is a lot of bread. I ate one half and then took the patty off and just ate it without the bread. Loved the zucchini and I had to ask a couple of times for ranch dressing, but again...given how crazy busy they were, understandable! The servicers were doing their best. The show itself was fun and entertaining. A fun and happy event for all of us! They offer lots of events and shows so check them out! read more

The food was bomb I'm not much of a BBQ fan but I stepped out of my comfort zone the pulled pork poutine, and damn I can't recall the freaking delicious pizza, but it had some pulled pork on there. It was bomb Diggity. You have an awesome server who was on the ball. It was pretty busy. But I believe his name is Derek. He did an awesome job last night. I am super family friendly. I noticed a game room in the back and I was like that's cool. All in all fantastic place. I'm definitely going back and try some more of that menu. And they had so many drinks. I tried the Slim Shady. It was pretty good. I believe it was called Slim Shady. It was some eminem reference, but it was a fantastic drink! read more

Great burger and great waiter. Be careful when you pay and the electronic tip choice the percentages given on the screen are marked up 5% . I'll give an example, my bill was 74.50$ before tax. On the screen 20% stated 20.14$ then 25% tip was higher and so on. I clicked the 20% tip and silly me i calculated it after and realized I was up charged on tip. Any who, live and learn. I will never trust again and do your due diligence to do the same. It's not the waiters fault it was the settings on the electronic hand held device. read more

We went to watch NFL playoff game. Place was very busy, but servers did an outstanding job keeping up with the orders. Ours was on top of things, keeping drinks full and coming around frequently to see if we needed anything. We ordered a "duo sampler plater" of fried mushrooms and scoop fries. Both came out hot and delicious. Also ordered 10 pc smoked wings, great flavor, I just wish they offered lemon pepper as a dry rub. Atmosphere was pleasant considering it was crowed with football fans, temperature was just right inside not too cold or warm. Food and beverage prices are responsible. read more

Such a warm and inviting environment. It's the perfect place to catch a game and grab some delicious food! We started with the cheese curds because why wouldn't we!! They were fried to perfection and oozing with cheese! Our kids liked them too! My husband and I split the platter with green chile pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. The brisket and ribs melted in our mouth. The pulled pork was good but our least favorite. Ribs stole the show! If you want to get the kids off your back, they have a cool arcade room and Cornhole outside! I wish this was closer to Gilbert but we loved it and will be back! Service was amazing too!!! read more

The food is very good, it's a friendly sort of place, not pretentious or overly fancy. Our server Dominique was super nice also.

Was looking for a burger for Mom and stumbled onto Bonfire. It was a Saturday during lunch. We walked in right before the rush. I was thinking, should we look for another place. I am so glad we stayed. Mom got her burger and I settled on a 1/2 pound order of burnt ends and a side of garlic truffle fries. OMG, so moist and tender like if you dropped some jello in your mouth. Great smoke and flavor. I've never had burnt ends like these. The menu offers many things! Pizza, sandwiches, burgers and BBQ goodness. Next time I'm probably getting a plate to sample more meats. If you ever have a large group you want to bring or worried about stopping by during peak times. Their dinning area is large, clean and wide open. They even have some outdoor seating. read more

Bonfire did not disappoint!! It came as a recommendation from a Phoenix local and I'm so glad we made it there. The atmosphere and vibes were great, very relaxing and chill. It's a huge place so we didn't wait but they do take reservations. We sat outside in the patio and it was perfect. There were lots of tables and some lawn games like cornhole. We were served extremely quickly. We ordered the 1/2 rack baby back ribs, buffalo chicken sandwich and a side of truffle fries. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge! I definitely recommend going here if you're in the Phoenix area! read more

Came in during a visit to Mesa, AZ due to seeing this place on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dive. Happy to see this is a Bills Backers Bar. Brisket Poutine was really good! Maybe could have used a little more gravy, but the flavor was killer. The Dirty Cajun Pasta was delicious...just a hint of spice. The Pizza had a good crust, the smoke on the pork was a tad heavy for my taste, but overall a good pizza. The Bills memorabilia was great and a nice surprise for a couple of SW NY/ NW PA natives. GO BILLS! Definitely will visit again and recommend for Mafia visitors. read more

We were searching for somewhere to eat after an event and we ended up at bonfire which claims to be an "elevated" family-friendly sports bar. It was a busy Saturday night but there was no waiting to be seated. Bonfire is a large restaurant and it is loud. We were immediately assaulted by karaoke but singers were rare. Our server was friendly but took a while to make her appearance at our table. The drink menu and the food menu are vast but vegetarian options seemed limited. They also have happy hour specials and daily drink specials, even on the weekends, which is nice. The sheer number of food options will probably allow everyone in your party to find something I ended up with an orange Brûlée beer which was good up front but the caramelized sugar flavors were lost in bitterness. I went with the Bronco burger which was ok, but nothing special. The scoop fries were fun but would go better with something.. to scoop. Probably great with queso or chicken dip! My brother got onion rings as his side and they were very generous. I think there were more onion rings on his plate than burger. So I'm a little torn here. Bonfire would be a good place if you're out with a group of friends and ok with shouting for any attempt at conversations. There's approximately 1000 TVs, karaoke, and a game room. Drink specials and pretty good food. If you're looking for a quiet venue then this is not for you. Special shout out to the lady having her 70th birthday party here and her guy singing Strokin' and Love Shack on Karaoke! read more

Random visit when I was in the area for dinner at the bar. Huge menu, but the bbq smell was very prevalent. It was $16:for a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs. The ribs did fall off the bone and were good. Sauce was tasty, but no sauce choices. Served with a piece of bread, they probably could have given us a small side too. read more

I was out of town on a work trip, and came here for a social work event. This place was fantastic. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - They have a nice long bar inside the restaurant, and in the far back, there is an area to play games. This is a great spot for gatherings. Staff - 4/5 - Tad slow at times, but overall the staff was friendly and helpful. Food/Drink - Ordered the following: Sampler Platter - 4/5 - $18 - It is a pick 3, so we chose the fried pickles, cheese curds, and onion rings. Nothing special here, but who doesn't love fried food? Ole Smokey Pizza - $21 - This was their BBQ brisket pizza, and it was awesome. It has brisket, pulled pork and smoked chicken on it. Nuff said. Carnasaurus - $23 - 5 meats (pepperoni, hot links, sausage, bacon & brisket). Oh and I made it reaper style for $2 where they added carolina reaper and habaneros on it. It is definitely hot, but tasty. If you like heat, make it reaper style. I have to also mention that their old fashioneds are pretty cool, as they add smoke and keep it sealed in a mason jar. It is a really cool presentation. Overall, this place was great, and highly recommend. I am very glad I was able to meet some of my colleagues and try the delicious pizzas. read more

We went on a Thursday afternoon with a group of 6 adults and two kids. Was slow when we arrived around 430 but by the time we left it was very busy. Good service and solid food choices and variety.

You wouldn't think you could mess up nachos but they were just a pile of goop when they arrived and it went downhill from there. Ugh!

I was excited to go back for the poutine but was very disappointed. I was with a large group and we had booked a month in advance. Our server was sweet but definitely in over her head. Fortunately they did have some food runners help her as the meals were prepared. The potatoes in my poutine were clearly reheated. They were rubbery and had no flavor. The brisket also was dry in spite of the very tasty sauce they were drenched in. I will never understand short cuts taken with frozen fries- they are cheap and easy to prep and serve. read more

Met a friend here for dinner. Place is quite large. SUPER loud inside. Good luck trying to have a conversation. I ordered a margarita. It was by far the worst one I have ever had. I had to send it back. Got a beer, because that's pretty hard to screw up. Friend got the wings. WAY too much breading on them and they were fatty. I got the gumbo. It was just meh. They were busy, and service was just ok. Our server was very nice, however. I don't think I will return. There are so many other great places to go. read more

Krystal was our server. She was very nice. We were waiting for friends. All of the food was very good and the beer cold. My wife enjoyed the Sangrias. There were 4 of us. I had the pot roast, others enjoyed the Philly smoked chicken with fries and I was told the wings were the best! Nice option available for their wings is you can request all flats for a $1 upcharge. I'd totally recommend this establishment. read more

Visited this place for lunch. The place was clean, server was nice, patient with all the questions, and this place is super close to the freeway. Food was just okay. Nothing special about it. I ordered the brisket, no sauce, and asked if it was a lean or moist cut. Server said it was more lean, and she was correct. The brisket was super dry and not much flavor to it. There was not really any bark on the brisket either, which is something I really like. Not sure how they cook it there, but the brisket wasn't very good. I was surprised to hear they did not have baked potatoes. Also their vegetables were limited to a couple slices of carrots and green beans. I will say their menu was large with lots of options. Someone else with me ordered the meatloaf and they said it was really good. I can see this place being packed for sports game as there were lots of TVs and a large gaming room. If I go back, I will try something different and pass on the brisket. Lots of great BBQ places in this town if you want good BBQ. For me, I'll move on to the next. Cheers. read more

This was my favorite restaurant to come get smoked only wings from until my experience today. I have been coming here multiple times for the past few weeks because I was able to get smoked only wings. Today when I ordered them I ended up having a conversation with the Chef/Owner Dave regarding the process and that they don't typically do smoked only for the wings. I believe the conversation came about as a miscommunication between the waitress to him regarding grilled wings. I asked for 10 piece smoked wings, naked, only smoked. She came back and said the owner said they don't grill the wings because they get stuck to the grill. Anyhow that's how I ended up asking to have the owner come over because I had been receiving smoked wings all five times I ordered them over the past few weeks. Dave ended up saying they can accommodate but not to expect it during their busy Sunday's when the Bills are playing and explained it takes 14 minutes for the wings to cook if they are not flashed fried. I let him know that I was ok with that. Upon receiving the wings they weren't hot like I have received them on my past orders. But they weren't flash fried either which I was happy about however since there was a whole ordeal about them being smoked only then my wings coming out room temperature though earlier was told it would take 14 minutes for them to cook just didn't sit well with me. I guess I'll only go to Roaring Fork for the smoked wings. They also flash fry them but will not do so if asked. read more
