We came on a Saturday night, which is Karaoke Night at Dumas Walkers. The place was magnetic, the energy in the air crackling. An older songtress was at the mic, crooning a sorrowful "Send in the Clowns" as we shuffled to our seats, some of us with a little extra boogie behind each step. I scanned the place and noticed there weren't any karaoke song/title books strewn about... we found out through our friendly waitress that you just tell the Karaoke Master the name of your song and you're good to go. 'Modern,' I thought to myself. I racked my brain for the perfect song for such a perfect place. Piano Man? The crowd did look pretty good for a Saturday. Sweet Caroline? Jesse's Girl? I didn't know. Brian suggested "Friends in Low Places" and we were off to the races. I put both my name and Brian's in for the song. 'It was going to be a duet,' I thought. Good. While we were waiting to entertain the crowd with our vocal talents, we ordered dinner and drinks. Everything was amazing, by the way. Finally, the time had come. The Karaoke Master announced our names, "Chris and Brian, you're up!" I gulped and tugged at my collar. I said to Brian, "Well, here goes nothing." He looked at me and said, "let's rock this place." His fist bumped mine. We both got out of our chairs and headed to the stage. I grabbed the mic, pulled it in close. The microphone smelled like beer. 'Damn,' I thought. 'We should've gone with Piano Man.' No matter, the show must go on. The screen said "Friends in Low Places" is sung in the key of A major, but I ignored it because I did not know what that meant. "Blame it on my roots," we sang. "I showed up in boots," we continued. By the time we got to the chorus, the crowd was up on its feet, the excitement palpable. The locals had started a line dance during the second verse and people were fighting to get to the dance floor. I can't remember if there was disco ball going at some point, but it *felt* like there was, you know? Our collective vocal modulations continued throughout the song, each verse getting somehow better, as if each of us was singing back-up to each other's lead vocals, hearts beating in unison, too. We won over the Big River crowd at Dumas Walkers that night. As Brian and I finished to what felt like thunderous applause, we headed back to our seats, hands clapping our backs, when I heard one patron whisper, "I'd hate to follow that." High praise, it felt good. "Chris, you're up!" the Karaoke Master announced. 'An encore,' I thought. 'Nice.' We stayed for dessert. read more

Food is really good best part is the service. Ruby is excellent just the best service ever. Will be back just for the service!!

Fish dinner on Friday night is delicious. Bar tender Brett is great. Always there and willingness to help with loading and unloading my disabled husbands chair. He is such a great person read more

Good food and great service! Prices very reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Very friendly staff. It was empty on this Saturday morning at 10:00 Breakfast burritos were not great but were served hot. They were big but lacking in the meat area so missing flavor. Place was easy to find plenty of parking .... Bill was 18.41 for 2 burritos and an ice tea Looks like it might be a fun place in the evening with the karaoke and bingo and other type of activities!! read more

Very impressed! Very clean, wait staff very friendly and attentive! We went on Taco Tuesday. Hubby had ground beef wet burrito and I had carne asada quesadilla. Both were really flavorful. We will be back! read more

When u find urself meandering down windie desert roads, singing old tunes behind retro shades, crossing the life blood carving records toward the core, reminiscing tandemed souls & the cold black holes, who shared the stage & then on THEIR way... Stop, look around, a light,1st left & then right. Dumbass..?, No, Dumas, dumbass! & Now that ur here, u'll hear the smokey notes & savory chords radiating into the night. Ron hands you a mic & says "Welcome, do u know Hotel California?" They've had that spirit there since 1993, the best bar & grill with karaoke. It's the friendliest, welcoming crowd & staff serving up laughs & tunes with pizza, tacos, salad, fish & big drinks. I've fallen in love read more

I love this bar. Amazing karaoke with lots of talented participants. Great specials and good value.

Karaoke was awesome! Great value on drinks. You should definitely stop by. Several people we know recommended the food, but we'll have to try that next time. read more

Tiffany and the crew were great! That's why this is not a single star review. We read prior reviews and followed recommendations for taco Tuesday. When we were following the directions to get out there I felt as though I was being "catfished" as there is nothing out there! Fast forward to ordering a draft beer... Coors light, bud light , and Michelob ( I am an IPA person). They had a good selection of bottled and canned micros so all was not lost. Taco ordering- 2 carnitas tacos please...upon arrival I received all 4 and they were a few pieces of rubberised steak under a cup and a half of iceberg lettuce ( husband ordered 2 of those and a fish taco) I do not recommend this place which rests comfortably on the Arizona border. The building itself looks like a Rec center from the 80s. If you're looking for a locals dive bar, this is your place. To be fair other stuff on the menu might be better. I won't go back. You're going to have to take your own chances out there. Tiffany was great though!! read more

The service is good as long as you go during the week when tawnya is there the owners are real piece of work and maye cant cook. All portions it's sad. read more

We always enjoy our trips to Dumas Walker's! Whether it's the breakfast, or nightly specials, we are seldom disappointed! We especially like the holiday and special event activities.
