Another Dillon's, second one this month. The more I go there, the more I like it. This time I tried the Nachos, which is on the appetizer portion of the menu. Looked good so I ordered it. When it arrived it was way more than an appetizer, it was a appetizer for two or three. But being a charter member of the "clean plate" club, I tried to finish. My membership went out the window, no way I could finish. Right now the remainder is in a box in my fridge waiting for a late night snack. The nachos were great, including good size pieces of barbecue pork, chili, cheeses, peppers, onions and sour cream on top. A bit messy, but that is the way it is suppose to be. Those around me had pulled pork sandwiches which were huge, it was like, eat one, take one home. Good food, good service, pleasant atmosphere. The Club will be back. read more

My friend just moved here and wanted BBQ. We went to Dillion's and he loved it. I had the brisket and it was delicious.

Perfect neighborhood bar/restaurant. Everyone is so friendly (patrons and staff). The brisket, onion rings and baked beans are our favorite. Kaley already knows what we want as we enter. She's a special one. read more

I love this barbecue restaurant. The food and the service is amazing. Love the live music on Friday and Saturday nights as well - a good local crowd!! read more

So disappointing. Served the best baby back ribs in town. Dropped from the menu and claimed to have an issue with their supplier. It's been more than a year and still not on the menu. I haven't been back. I miss my baby backs. read more

Always good! Onion rings are the best. Great service. Wish they would bring back baby back ribs through!

My family and I love this place! They have excellent food and service. Our favorite waiters are Kelly and Cally. I love the chicken Cesar salad and the wings. My family loves the stew, chili, smoked sausage platter, fisherman's basket, ribs, and jalapeño poppers! Honestly everything they bring out is cooked to perfection! Thank you! We will be back! read more

We had the best experience !! Courtney our waitress was the most friendly, attentative, knowledgeable and really made our first trip here a great one !! We will be back and will ask specifically for her ! Food was amazing ! Almost as good as the service !! read more

This is our favorite BBQ restaurant! We love the food. What makes it even better is our server Josh K. He is very pleasant and knows exactly how we like our food. His service is exceptional. That what keeps us coming back. read more

My server Sam was incredibly helpful when it came to my table ordering our drinks from the bar. She provided excellent advice and recommendations to our whole group. read more

My family came to this particular restaurant looking to see a fish tank for our child who has autism, but when we got there we were told by the hostess that they did not have one. When we got seated there was a flat screen monitor in the booth and our waiter Josh was very helpful and thoughtful and he made sure that our little one was comfortable and watching Disney junior. Then his service was so outstanding he was so prompt, polite and friendly and he had a beautiful smile on his face the entire time and he even walked me out to help me carry my drinks to the car and that was going above and beyond. The entire visit was so pleasant and we are bringing our guests that we have coming in a couple of months to Dillons to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and food. Everything was so perfect about the entire visit and we look forward to coming back and hopefully we'll get Josh again. Thank you so much Josh for going above and beyond and being a stellar employee and representing Dillon's so we'll. read more

We stopped here on a whim on a Saturday night, we were a little hesitant driving by but decided to give it a try. They gave us a free order of onion rings which was nice but there was nothing special about them, they were cold super fast! We decided to build a platter and share it, the portion was small and everything was bland and or tasted microwaved. Not worth coming to at all. Their bathrooms are also disgusting, they worst we've ever seen at a restaurant. STAY AWAY! read more

I was so excited to go here with a few friends for a birthday. Very disappointed, it was a Monday night not busy...food was not hot and just so so. Definitely not worth it for the price! read more

This is REALLY the BEST BBQ in Phoenix area. They have four locations. Their onion rings are to die for and only $5. Everything else on the menu is Most Excellent. The location at the "Wildlife World Zoo" is great for the kids. The location on Hwy 60 at Morristown "Western Trails Ranch" is an exciting Rodeo Venue. Don't forget the "Bayou at Pleasant Harbor" for your on the lake lunch/dinner/drinks. Enjoy, y'all will be back!! read more

Below is a copy of the email I sent to Dillon's corporate website following a dinner experience on Thursday night, 11/15/2018. Since they didn't feel it necessary to respond, I felt compelled to share it with the dining public: maybe I can someone else from our experience. "Thursday evening my family visited Dillon's on 59th avenue in Glendale for what we anticipated to be a pleasant evening together: unfortunately, things didn't go as we had expected, due primarily to our treatment by the restaurant staff. I ordered burnt ends for $16.95, expecting crispy little pieces of beef;: what arrived at the table was essentially soft, chopped pot roast. After a few bites, I decided it was pretty much inedible, especially as it bore no resemblance to what I had ordered from the menu. When our server finally cruised by (to present the check), I pointed out the discrepancy between what I ordered and what I received. His response was to explain that the kitchen had started cooking it and this was how it had turned out. My comment that I felt this was an insufficient reason to serve what they had instead of what I requested led him to bring over a gentleman who claimed to be the restaurant manager. He proceeded to explain that it was a matter of taste and that some patrons liked it this way, and that this was the end of the matter. I respectfully disagree with that conclusion: hence this email. How (or even whether) you address this unpleasant experience is, of course, up to you. Our response will be not to patronize Dillon's in the future." read more

Good bbq tbh one of the best in town's they are real smoked and always bring out good food

It appears that they serve Caucasian guest first. Visited for my first time with people that have been here before. I will not be back read more

I received a yellow post it note on my desk written in black ink.. DINNER TONIGHT @ 6 SHARP! DILLONS.... twice underlined.... that being said i must go right? we walk in and people are leaving with smiles and laughs... the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming.. I love the Decor... little cows all over the place... some with wings.. and pigs too... it was adorable! reminds me of walking into my friends grandparents house... their menu has a nice selection... :) our waitress was very bubbly and attentive... he had smoked sausage and brisket.. he raved over it... but i didn't want to try it... he had the HOT BBQ sauce.... i didn't have my tums... i had the pulled pork with the sweet BBQ sauce... oh my... it was amazing... the pork alone was so tender and just fabulous! and the awesome BBQ sauce just topped it off... their potato salad is great to.. i think they used red potatoes... which are my favorite... i like that they have a veggie of the day... that day was Broccoli... it was tasty! their bread roll was wheat.. so i was excited... but it wasn't that great.. maybe next time.... the lemon Water was fabulous as always... Over all... service ... AWESOME Food.... Cant Beat it Bathroom... Clean and Tidy Atmosphere.. homey and relaxing... I cant wait to go again :) read more

Outstanding food, most of the time at least, but the service at this Arrowhead location is terrible. As other reviewers have noted numerous times, service at this location is inexplicably slow. I have been there when it was packed, empty and everything in-between. I have been there with my wife, my family members, with work for team and group events, you name it, and the service has always been poor. More recently, I have found that even when the place is nearly empty and there are more wait-staff than diners, you still cannot get timely service. It seems to always be friendly service, as others have pointed out, just extremely slow. On our last visit, my wife and I sat ignored in a booth for over fifteen minutes, arms folded in front of empty plates, waiting for a check since a refill never came and nobody checked on us after the food came out. I took this to the management and spoke with them for probably the third or fourth time about their service problem and also sent a lengthy email to the owners as well, describing my service experience and the consistent pattern of bad service (and no apology) at this particular location. The end result? The owners never even responded to my email, despite numerous assurances from the manager that they would speak to me. As a result, I've decided to never patronize this location or any other Dillon's ever again. I will sorely miss the food, as will my wife and our family, but I will not dine at an establishment where the owners give repeat customers (who struggle to remain loyal) the cold shoulder. Customer service is clearly not a priority at Dillon's and, judging by the owners' lack of response to a concerned customer, it obviously is a top-down problem. I would avoid this place if you expect great service, because it has never been my experience and I doubt it ever will be when the management has this kind of attitude towards customer service. read more

Ubered the country fried chicken, loaded mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, onion rings and the caramel crunch cake. One of the best meals I've ever eaten, and it was delivered to me at my home quite a few miles away. Seriously delicious. It was on the high end side of pricing but I'm not one bit mad because it was 100% worth it. Thank you to your staff for making it and preparing it for me! read more

Note: I've actually been to Dillon's Thunderbird as well, but I go here more often so I figured people could review this location separately if they wanted. For anyone whos ever been to Kansas City, they know theres a distinctly different feel when you goto a suburban BBQ restaurant versus an urban BBQ joint. In Kansas City, a perfect example would be KC Masterpiece Grill (a suburban BBQ restaurant) versus Arthur Bryant's (an urban BBQ joint). In Phoenix, we have a similar equivalent. Honey Bear's is more of an urban BBQ joint whereas Dillon's fits the suburban BBQ restaurant to a tee. The differences between places like Dillon's and Honey Bear's lie mostly in the atmosphere. Dillon's is a nice easy going sit down restaurant that just happens to serve barbeque whereas Honey Bear's is the type of place where there isn't much room to sit, its sounds like a crowded bar on a busy day, and the aroma grabs you right from the get go. Each has its charm. But for this review, let's talk Dillon's food and atmosphere. Much like their original location at Thunderbird and the 101, the Dillon's at 59th Ave just north of the 101 serves up a cozy restaurant style atmosphere with a full bar near the front and plenty of seating everywhere else (including the patio). I've never had trouble getting a table here as this place is pretty tucked away near the Arrowhead golf course communities. The crowd usually varies depending on the type of day, but most of the time you'll see young families, workers from nearby, and couples nearing retirement. I've always had friendly service, but I've always been baffled by how slow service is. Like I said, I've never seen it crowded so one would think you could get in and get a meal pretty quick, but its never worked out that way. So does the food make up for it? Mostly. My favorite time to come here is lunch as their lunch menu is basically the same as dinner (only cheaper) and the sandwiches usually hit the spot. The pulled pork and brisket sandwiches are among my favorites as the portion of meat is usually just right and they throw on the right amount of sauce. Steak fries or beans usually go pretty well with these. If ribs are your thing, they've got you covered with baby back or pork spare ribs usually being the tried and true favorites. The appetizers (while diverse) aren't terribly special as they're about what I'd expect to find at most restaurants (onion rings, quesadillas, artichoke dip, etc.). I will say that the cinnamon apple dumplin for dessert is pretty tasty. Like I said, the prices are pretty reasonable at lunch. Dinner is a little more expensive, but still not bad. So why 3 stars? Bottomline, its okay. Nothing great or amazing, nothing bad or disgusting. Just decent. The quintessential suburban barbecue spot. You'll leave satisfied, but probably longing for the more authentic barbecue joint like me. read more

Ok I've been to Dillon's probably 20 times in the past few years but I realized that I never wrote a review??? We have been here especially more since we now live very close and this location is convenient. What do I always seem to get...even though I love BBQ I always get the fried catfish platter with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. I'm a huge fan of catfish and Dillion's is one of the best. Like I said before I'm also a huge BBQ fan so then wife usually gets a 2-3 meat platter with the smoked turkey and Burnt Ends when they have them. Very good and very filling sight the sides. We always get plenty to eat. We like sit in the bar area so we can watch the game and enjoy our food. Service has always been good. Dillion's is a very good local neighborhood restaurant. read more

After having heard good things about Dillon's Kansas City style barbeque we decided to try it out today. We ordered three plate meals with sausage, pork ribs, pulled pork, brisket and burnt ends. The brisket was very good. Not dried out. The burnt ends were cubed not sliced thin. Great smoky flavor. The sausage was nicely smoked, a solid good but not outstanding. The rib meat on the bone was very tender. Not dried out. Solid good. Pulled pork was wonderfully sweet and smoky. The fried pickles appetizer were really good. The sauces we tried were all good. The sweet heat most representative of the spicy tomato based bbq sauce used in Kansas City. For BBQ food in Phoenix the only place I've had that comes close to this good is Haps. Our server was warm, cheerful and efficient. read more

We go here about once a month because they have the best ribs ever. But that's not the entire reason for this review. We had received a $100 gift card there in December. We went to go find it to go there today and no luck. Couldn't even think back as to where we left it. Which sucks because well $100 and those ribs. So we decided to just go and our loss. Well we spoke to the manager Jason about it just to see if maybe they could look it up and as luck had it, he had our gift card he was holding in back all this time. This customer service we received tonight was above our expectations. What a great management team, and always great service all the way around. Thank you Jason!! read more

This place was inexpensive and had decent BBQ. Great location in North Valley. Wide beer selection but need better local craft beer options. Had the pulled pork sandwich which had a tasty bbq sauce. Ordered brown gravy with my steak fries and it was kinda bland and disappointing. May come again. We shall see. read more

When we first moved here we used to go to Dillons and it was awesome. Even before the pandemic we placed an order to pick up and it was cold, dried out and just not good. We decided to give them one more shot tonight and it was just as bad. IDK what had happened to their food but its gone downhill fast. read more

You will find me here almost every Monday during football season. The happy hour menu can't be beat. I always order the onion rings and the nachos. For the price it's a steal! The nacho plate is HUGE and can easily be split between 2 people. There are plenty of TV's and it's never too busy that you can't find a table to sit at in the bar. The staff is always friendly and personable (it may help that I'm there every week). Thank you Dillon's for always being my "go-to" bar! read more

I was very excited when I first walked through the doors of Dillon's. The energy seemed in excess and the atmosphere was just so lively. It was hard not to get excited! With patrons enjoying food and drink all around us, I was very much looking forward to my dining experience here. We ended up sitting at the bar so we can watch the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics (which was dec). Service was very attentive and good despite the heavy crowds that night. The food itself however was pretty badtastic. I ordered the baby back ribs which is kind of what they're supposed to be known for. While the meat was very lean, it wasn't very flavorful. Even worse, I struggled with trying to get the meat to fall off the bone cleanly. And when meat doesn't cleanly fall off the bone, that is a sign of ribs done wrong. I'm willing to give Dillon's a 2nd shot and try their brisket or something else. But their baby back ribs were a big disappointment and I'd stay away from those. read more

Good food great atmosphere, and very staff very friendly and want of parking, love the location too

The Pulled Pork sandwich was so awesome... The server was on point and attentive. Our drinks arrived fast and so did our food... The restaurant is quiet and perfect for a date night... We came without the kids but it looks kid friendly... Good prices on food... We will be back... This place has a very good vibe read more

See all

I have to say, same great food as the other location, but slightly better service. Went with the Pulled Pork Sandwich again and it didn't disappoint. One small difference; They put the slaw on top of the sandwich! Fries were very good as well. One day I will try some of their regular entrees instead of the sandwich. If you're craving BBQ Meat goodies, and are in the area, you won't be disappointed. read more

Despite the tone of this review I will be going back to check them out during their regular service. How a place that's been rated Yay! consistently could serve such uninspired institutional dreck on Thanksgiving is a puzzle worth investigating. Regardless how good they are usually the idea that it's OK for turkey dinner to consist of lunchmeat turkey , yep not part of a single breast but some formed sliced close to deli meat at Fry's,excuse for a turkey. Seriously this has to be a one off? On the grocery story theme sweet potatoes, canned, no gravy,undercooked cornbread stuffing, grainy cranberry sauce rounded off with a lacklustre dessert which was still thawing. The only saving grace was the BBQ meat / sauce itself which,gosh, probably was made in house and I wouldn't mind more of. Service was good, despite the in-law's treating the server abruptly , and all in all it's a pretty nice atmosphere for family dining during the day. read more

We are unfamiliar with the area, and found this place via Yelp. This place is GREAT!!! Attentive service. Delicious meals. Live music. Multiple screens to watch any sporting event imaginable! We are very satisfied customers! read more

Normally really enjoy Dillon's and would give them 4 or 5 stars. Tonight we had a party of 11, not really that big (and we all are good tippers). The food was good as always but the waitress was mediocre at best! Was pretty disappointed..... read more

This place is the bomb for bbq in Glendale. I am a Glendale native and good authentic bbq is hard to find here in Phoenix . You can not go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu here. The ribs, burnt tips, sausage are all great. If you really want great service ask for server Josh. He is top notch and will make your evening. If he really likes you he will share his turtle stories. Lol. read more

So so so good!!! Everything was delicious. Josh was the BEST server!!! 10 out of 10 would recommend! Group favorites...burnt ends, Mac n cheese, ribs, beans and amazing sauces for everyone! Will be going back again! read more
