    The Smokin' Hen House has become one of the Desert Southwest's most popular barbecue spots. Regardless if they're posted at an event or a parking lot barbecue lovers flock to them. In fact, the biggest complaint about them is that their lines are too long. Now, you can get all that great flavor at one location. The Smokin' Hen House is now located inside the Hidden Shores Resort. The Smokin' Hen House is just feet from the shores of the lower Colorado River. The river is easily accessible via boat or the nearby beach. Their recipes are a mixture of family recipes and the culinary genius of the family's matriarch Mama Cheri who is no stranger to the culinary world. If you love barbecue, then the 20 or so minute drive is worth it. If you have a sweet tooth, then this is a must try.

    Great food and funny hats. They're really embracing the LRJ experience and I'm all here for it.

    Best chicken, pulled pork, and ribs I've ever had. We went to the restaurant location in hidden shores. The Smokey flavor is absolutely amazing. Great ambience and great service. Love that this is a family business and they make customers feel right at home. Was a very fun time. Will be returning time after time. Thank you!

    We were super excited to try this place because it's so close to YPG but after going there for lunch today I would not recommend going here. At first we both ordered the pulled chicken and then out waitress had to come back out to let us know that the did not have any chicken at this time. This would have been understandable if the place were packed or we came later in the day, but we were there 30 min past opening for the day and the restaurant had only one other table of people. We changed our order to brisket and tri-tip. We entered an basically empty restaurant but still waited over 45 minutes for our food to come out. Our server was very sweet and apologetic, however, unfortunately aside from that there were not any redeeming qualities. I got the brisket which seemed dry and old. It had no flavor so much so that it was served with BBQ sauce (which to us just tasted like store-bought sweet baby rays) already on it. My Mac and cheese came out cold and was also pretty dry. The french fries were also cold and tasted like they had been fried house before and were just sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Not sure why we waited so long to be served cold dry food. Super disappointed overall and feel as though we wasted $50.

    I drove out this morning and was really excited to try "Chilaquiques," a food truck in Foothills,…read moreAz. Before making the trip, I double-checked the operating hours online and was all set for the 30-minute drive. However, upon arrival, I was quickly disappointed to find the food truck closed. The listed hours didn't match the actual times they were open, leading to unnecessary inconvenience and a missed opportunity to enjoy their dishes. It's frustrating when businesses don't maintain accurate information, especially for those who travel out of their way to visit. I hope "Chilaquiques" updates their hours to reflect their actual business schedule and prevents this kind of mishap for others in the future (2) Stars are based on the experience, yet looking forward to rating the food in the future.

    Chilaquiques posted a picture of this week's aguas frescas on their Instagram, and with these warm…read moredays, I knew I had to try one! It was absolutely delicious. I also picked up two meals to take home, and they were packed with flavor--definitely did not disappoint. I ordered the Los Chilaquiques with pork belly and the Quesabirria Torta (hope I got that right!). Next time, I'll take advantage of their picnic table or head across the street to the park for a picnic. Their location in the foothills of Yuma, AZ, right across from the Foothills Library and Community Park, is perfect. I'll definitely be back--especially on days I take my kids to the park, since I know they'll love the beverages too!
