It's a very cute place with fresh smoked meat and such an amazing menu variety. Can get sandwiches, smoked meat, burgers, and so much more with good sides too. The lunch specials are very good too with a nice variety. Of sauces and good ambiance. It has a good vibe and amazing service to help guide you with what is good. Try the food here if you're visiting nearby or need some good bbq. The burger is worth the price and so is the food in general. The staff were also very nice and informative with what was on the menu. Gave us more ideas about the lunch deals as well as what is worth trying on the menu. There is plenty to choose from besides burgers. There is also ribs, brisket, tacos, and plenty other BBQ related items that just taste so good because you can tell, it is fresh off the grill. More than that it also has good decorations and just a comfy vibe. I'll be sure to come again one day in the future whenever I have the chance.

We don't come out to Apache Junction very often but when we do we try a new place every time. For the first time we got to actually walk in the door of Dutchman's and try the food. Well worth the wait!!!!!! Large outside area and inside was cozy clean and organized. Our bartender was great!!!! No complaints here. Maybe we will try the same place twice.

Our local barbecue place was out of brisket, so we decided to make the drive out here after seeing this spot on social media. I'm so glad we did! This place was absolutely great. They had fantastic live music and a fresh, inviting atmosphere inside a beautifully rustic location. While the prices were a little steep, it was entirely worth it. Their unique, house-made barbecue sauces tasted incredible--I especially loved the red BBQ sauce. On top of that, they are one of the only places around that serves cheesy potatoes, and honestly, that side dish alone will keep me coming back! The service was also top-notch; our table was consistently cleared of finished dishes throughout the meal. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add a garden salad or some kind of vegetable option as a side choice. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will definitely be back!

Outstanding Food, Outstanding Customer Service! Came here, for the first time with a party of four. We had burgers, Turkey BBQ sandwiches & Pulled Pork Sandwiches...EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! Food came out super fast and prices were reasonable. Will DEFINITELY be coming back

I really wanted to love this place, but sadly, we were disappointed. My brisket was extremely dry, my grandson's chicken was dry, and my husband's sandwich was dry as well. The mac and cheese was very bland, and the baked beans were overly sweet. even the chocolate chip cookie looked good, but it was dried out and old. Our lunch came to $85. My husband had a beer, I had one drink, and my grandson had a Mountain Dew. For that price, the food was definitely not worth it. When we arrived, I also waited more than 10 minutes at the counter just to place our order. There were only a few people in the restaurant, and the employee who was supposed to help us was in the back near another table. You order and pay at the counter, take a number, and they bring the food to your table. this isn't even the best part besides the subpar food My chair had a whole bunch of barbecue sauce on it all over the seat of my shorts so I have to go to the bathroom and try and clean it so I got to sit there with wet shorts. We loved this place before it was revamped. The restaurant is now clean and beautiful, but unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to our previous experiences. No thanks. Husband was here five weeks ago and the sandwich was amazing. The brisket sandwich he said today was nothing like that. so crazy sadly consistency is not their game

First time here. I can see why this place is always busy. This place combines delicious barbecue items with good country music & a family atmosphere. I had the Chopped BBQ salad, which was very good & I chose Chipotle Ranch for my dressing. A good kick with delicious flavor & perfect on any salad. The salad is huge & very good! The service here is good & the staff is super friendly. There is seating indoors & outdoors. There are heaters outdoors for cool nights & a dance floor to get your boot scootin' boogie on. The ONLY drawback is this place fills up fast & the parking is scarce.

Oh my! The double brisket smash burger was excellent! It goes perfectly with the side of elote. Priced well, clean welcoming restaurant, great food and friendly service. It's worth it!

We stopped by because we could hear the live music from our Airbnb. Outdoor area was nice- there were picnic tables, seats near fire pits, and a bar type seating. Inside was typical restaurant. We didn't eat there, but our kids did night before and said food was good.

Loved the outdoor seating--plenty of space, beautiful mountain views, and live music that really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight and makes this a great spot to hang out, especially on a nice day. The food, though, was just okay and came out cold. Compared to our personal favorite BBQ spots in Phoenix, it didn't quite hit the same. That said, dining options are limited out this way, and when you stack it up against what else is available nearby, this place is one of the better choices. Be prepared: it fills up fast and the lines can get very long, so getting there early is a must.

Parking is what sets the immediate impression of a location, and this location has a parking lot with impressive views of the Superstition Mountains. No issues parking on a Saturday afternoon. I knew it had great views and decent parking as this location was the previous town favorite - Filly's. I hadn't been to Filly's in decades as I wasn't a fan of the food personally, so I was excited to try a new concept here. Especially since I read MasterChef Champion Chef Shaun led this kitchen as he was one of my favorite contestants through the seasons as he had a drive and passion for the art of food. When you enter, it is an order at a counter and take a number type of restaurant concept. Definitely prefer a traditional restaurant, but I know with barbecue, this is a common way to serve. A perk of this style is the ability to refill your soda without waiting for a server to do so. Since it is this style, they have condiments, pickles, and other items as a serve yourself with bottles you can take to your seat or to-go containers. Like any new establishment I try, I have to do a flight of all the sauces to rank. Four Sauce Choices: - Dutchman's Original (favorite) - Dutchman's Gold (third, but not a gold BBQ sauce fan) - Superstition Red (least - watery) - S&S Chipotle (second) Sometimes you can't beat the original, but it's always nice to have choices! For the meat options, I got the JW's meat sampler plate ($30) so we can try the different meats with sides with my boyfriend getting a pulled pork sandwich. Who gets turkey at a BBQ? Well, I would absolutely here as it's the best turkey breast I've ever had! It was so moist and had a great flavor, and the brisket was also fantastic! I rarely eat pork, but tried the other items. Loved the hatch chile & jack cheese sausage, which was a surprise as well! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone type, which I love but my boyfriend prefers something to gnaw on. Since I'm always right, they are phenomenal here. ;-) For sides, we tried Arizona Elote, BBQ Baked Beans, and Jalapeño + Chipotle Gouda Mac. BBQ Baked Beans were more like ranch-style beans, which I wasn't a fan of and would skip when returning. The Mac was pretty good, but not a creamy Mac n Cheese if that's what you prefer. The elote is more like elote en vaso, but still had a great flavor. We both did say we'd love it on the cob. They have sinks if you get messy, so a real elote would be fantastic at the table in my opinion. Lastly, my plate came with the cornbread which I wasn't a huge fan of. I'm usually a honey cornbread person, but it appears they added jalapeño which I don't like mixing in a cornbread personally. In contrast, my boyfriend thought it was too sweet for a jalapeño cornbread. Perhaps since this location is new, they are experimenting on "the" cornbread recipe, so I'd try again. Overall, both the meat items and the side dishes were a success! I would say 4.5/5 Stars, so with the stunning Superstition Mountains, Dutchman's Country BBQ gets a 5-Star Yelp review in my book! Check them out when you are in the area!

One Star??? If I was to base this review on my first encounter with the first person - whom was a much older lady taking the orders, I think her name was Tara, I would definitely give this place a one star. I'm not sure what her rush was to get me and my friend to order, as we were the only two people in line and the restaurant was 98% empty, as you'll see in the pictures. I was SOOOO disappointed even after telling her it was our first time, the lady didn't even allow us to put in our information at the end of the transaction for the Rewards program or an email list or anything that they have???!!! I still don't know anything about it because she didn't give us a chance. I thought it would've been nice to know of new menu items since they have a limited menu??? The information portion just popped on the screen and the lady quickly skipped over it. They should REALLY consider another person to be the face of Customer Service --- CS skills are really much needed! I think her behavior was really strange, off-putting, she was so preoccupied looking around, it was inconsiderate, rude and weird. We ended up sitting in the bar and luckily the cornbread was the first thing I tried and it was deliciously moist with a light crust top of honey. I tried the pulled pork sandwich and was not disappointed, it had so much moisture. The portion was really nice. The sandwich overall was definitely a five and the coleslaw placed on-top was also a five; highly recommend that!!! The side of macaroni was ok - slightly spicy, with a thin cheese sauce, although I prefer a cheesy, thicker sauce myself, with a pasta less overcooked. Here's a tip ~ be sure to grab some napkins and put water on them cause I didn't see any wet naps anywhere. Sauces: Superstition Red - A sweet-and-sour sauce type very watery, but had a mild flavor, not spicy. S & S Chipotle - sauce is definitely on the spicier side. I did really like it. Very tasty. The Dutchman's gold sauce, tangy kind of a vinegar based, savory, my favorite. Dutchman's Original - a traditional bbq, not overly sweetened! Barbie (pictured) was in the spacious bar and she was so nice to visit our table. We had a quick chat she mentioned about live music they host. Eddy (girl) was also very friendly to visit our table and took care of us. The pecan pie was extremely sugary and very hard. The buttercream whipped topping was melted, but the pie was cold so that was a little confusing, of course I wanted it to look like the picture, but it clearly did not. Tip ~ If you don't like the taste of butter on your pie then I would definitely skip that. I love pecan pie myself, therefore wanting to try it, I'm not sure why the topping was melted and the pie was so hard? Sadly, I'm guessing they were both very old, definitely Not fresh. Sharing of course My Friend was most definitely not a fan. There's plenty of space, much of the restaurant was empty and the decor is very pretty and rustic! There's a huge outside sitting area with very warm heaters and fire!!! I'm not sure why I tipped, hopefully it goes to Eddy (she served our table) and NOT the front counter older lady taking orders. I spent $31.
