Reviews of Brushfire (Restaurant)

Cody Stepanski

Amazing ice cream. Some of the best I have ever had. I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll and mint chocolate chip ice flavors. Definitely put the cinnamon roll flavor on top because mint is stronger and you wont taste the other flavors. The employee had already read my mind and did that for me! Also great size for the price. I got the the wing deal with 2 sides. Did not like the wings, too sweet. Mac n cheese and fries were pretty good, but not very good as leftovers.

Bones Lady

A little on the expensive side. However, you get a lot of food and the waitstaff here is very friendly. You can eat in or take out. If you eat in, it is a nice sports bar atmosphere. There is a sit in bar here as well. Take out has always been timely and never had a problem with an order.

Stephen Glass

Brushfire was a real good experience. Never been to it before and won't be the last. I absolutely love beef ribs and this place is super good. I got three orders of beef ribs and they were done to perfection. And talk about meaty! Not at all like you get at grocery stores. My order lasted four days and tasted as good the last day as the first. Really great taste, juicy and tender. You deserve this place. You absolutely must try it

Victoria Dempsey

Delicious! Messy fries with brisket, spicy bbq and cheddar is delicious. Also, their pear martinis are fabulous! Really a fan of the array of BBQ sauces.

Abigail Smith

Amazing food, really!

Joshua Propp

Always Awesome! Messy Fries are the BEST!

Rose Harmon

Boxes and we absolutely loved the food and was an exceptionally clean restaurant. Everything was homemade the only thing was it was above our price range.

Justin Atkinson

I recommend the messy phrase with brisket. They are so freaking good! I was down in Tucson for business and this was a regular lunch stop. Tried the potato salad and that wasn't really my thing

Edana Schmidt

Great people, excellent food IMHO

Karen Treadway

Wasn't happy last visit food was cool sent back twice

Brooke Allen

Great flavors in the meat. Everyone is friendly. Try the cinnamon iced tea!

Scotta Blanchat

BBQ was dang tasty! It helps greatly when one has a coupon!

Mark Deatrick

I'm not going to say anything I'll never go there again believe me find out yourself maybe it's good for you but not for me

Dan Boelsche

Excellent smoked prime rib sandwich, wonderful cole slaw (vinegar dressing)! Will return...

Melissa Clayton

Yummy food/BBQ. Yummy ice cream. Great service. Thank you Brushfire!!

Jan Dennis

The prime rib sandwich had good flavor but was really fat. It was hard to cut the fat off with the plastic forks.

Bernie Cieslar

Good bbq, ordered the pulled pork and brisket, corn on the cob, roll. The ice cream itself is worth the stop, very creamy, delicious!

Michael Snyder

The food was fantastic and the service staff friendly. I was impressed how fast our food came to the table. Will definitely be back and highly recommend. The lunch crowd made it clear the place is well liked!

Orlando Stanley

It was good but they didn't fix my bae sandwich like she asked! It was missing the onions and cheese which made her a little upset but other than that it was good!

Kiana

In regards to the 22nd/ Kolb location: This will be my last time visiting this location. They got my order completely wrong and we paid extra for food we never got, so I called to let them know. The lady on the phone was understanding and said she'd place my name down to get a free meal next time I visit. I come in 2 days later and the manager tells me there's nothing he can do because I didn’t remember the name of the lady I spoke to and the lady I spoke to never wrote it down. Really disappointed because I love this place and have been going to this location for a very long time, but I will not keep paying for food I'm not receiving. It's not right, especially considering how expensive this place is. I wasn’t combative and all I wanted was what I paid for, but they weren’t even willing to make it right. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

AiMee Pearl

This was my first time going. I was in town for work. What a great place for lunch.

brian francis

The kid and I share a order of nachos. He lets me have one pint. They treat us so well the food is great

osvel garcia

Delicious, try the pork belly yummm,

Nancy De Young

Awesome as always. Friendly staff and good food.v

Patrick Kilcran

Always great food.

Deb Morales

It was delicious and yummy and excellent service.

Wendi Benedict

Friendly staff. The man who was helping me was still training and another staff member came over when he needed help and helped him with a great attitude!

Ryan Bishop

Love the food!!! Has a really nice patio with fire pits in the center of the tables outside. You get to have ice cream from the adjacent ice creamery. If you're lucky you'll get Melody to serve the ice cream. She's awesome and great attribute to this business.

Fleeting Embyr

I miss the old flames painted on the walls and am not a fan of the sports theme since the owner changed. But most of the recipes have been kept which is great! Thank god the vinegar slaw and fry seasonings are still there. And I do very much like the new outdoor seating with the fire pits at the Eastside! (Where you can avoid the loud TVs as well)

Lisa Anderson

Brushfire has a laid back, family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. You can sit at tables, booths, or at the sports bar for dinner and then walk next door to the Ice Creamery for an excellent dessert with unique flavor options.

Kattie King

Fast friendly staff. We had the malts. They were delicious. This will be our new ice cream place. Can't wait to try their BBQ

Alexander Gideon

The service is very fast and friendly! Food is always hot amd amazing!

Doctor Cobblepot

Came for the ice cream. It was good but seemed like an afterthought

Avatar Gaming

Awesome food first time going here and the food was amazing if you get the hungry size they really give you the money's worth with it

Praakrit Pradhan

The location and options of food was good. I liked the service as well as the quicknesss of said service. The food was generally good, I personally was not completely taken aback by the food as it is very generic in my opinion. However the service, the ambiance and the location of this place definitely makes it a spot I would go back again to.

Yaneth Lopez

Its always a good experience. Food does take a while to get there but its a nice place to have a good bbq and see sports.

Lorena Elcheikh

Cinnamon iced tea do not taste like cinnamon iced tea very disappointed been here before that was one of the reasons I kept coming back

Aaron Sapienza

We went as a large group, and the gal that took care of us did an incredible job! Never slacked off, and she got us our orders in a timely manner. Plus the food was good too!

Shane Denton

For 20 dollars for a sandwich a side and a drink you would think you would leave full a waste of 20 bucks if you ask me very over priced for the portions of food you get also not one single time did anyone stop and ask how any thing was all the employees gathered and talk to each other at the cook station I won't be back

sean carney

Good brisket hot fries. Amount of meat to enormous size bread provided for sandwich ridiculously inadequate

Jake Yonkers

Food was amazing but the portion sizes were extremely small not really worth 15 bucks

Kim Miller

The staff were busy as bees taking care of the customers. They were busy, including a farewell party, and never missed a beat. My food was good and fresh.

Josh Rose

Tasted wonderful! I love the sweet molasses! I can't wait to come back!

Levi Simpson

I ordered the brisket regular-sized meal with garlic green beans and tater tots. The garlic bread (which came as a free side) was essentially buttered toast with no garlic, the brisket tasted slightly better than something you could get out of can and was an incredibly small portion for $14 - I doubt it was actually cooked in an authentic smoker, and the green beans had no garlic whatsoever (that seems to be a theme...). I will say, however, that the honey dijon sauce and tater tots were both quite good, but did not make up for the quality and price of the rest of the meal. Would not recommend

A Jones

Good BBQ, but not the best. Brisket was tasty and green beans were good. Brisket wasnt as tender as it could have been and it was served with the BBQ sauce already on it. I wasn't expecting this and have never been served brisket with the sauce already on it. Decent food and prices were decent.

Ryan Montgomery

Used to be good, but it seems like something changed. Very little meat on the sandwich with way too much bread. The mac and cheese had the consistency and taste of easy mac with some cheese on top. Not worth the money. Not going back.

Michelle Schackart

Goid smoked meat a little saucy though

Lizz Dimercurio

Service: good. Food: good but expensive. Best: the prickly pear tea and the ice cream.

Matthew Graziano

It was alright. The pulled pork sandwich was good and the sauces are pretty good. Everything else was okay. It's worth a try if you need to satisfy your BBQ urge. The ice cream shop they have was actually really good though... You won't be disappointed in their ice cream.

Freddy Elmesselmani

Brisket is a bit on the fatty side but nevertheless good BBQ

Shannon Todd

This place is always on point every time I come in! The bartender always remembers me, and the food is always great quality! I usually get the tacos, and no matter what meat or sauce I choose, it's always BOMB AF. Just what the doctor ordered. Make sure to have Cierra make you a bloody Mary!

Krillix Strachan

The food is good, and the staff are friendly. But overall, the price is way too high for the portion size. I feel like I could have paid less for a choice steak at a steak house, twice the size. I doubt we'll come here again for a long time.

Daniel Macias

The food and ice cream are amazing. Definitely worth it!

Dava Hopson

Since Jacks Bar B Que is gone ,Brushfire is the best in Tucson, love the pulled pork, great sides, lots pf choices

Lydia Bischoff

Messy fries with pulled pork were honestly amazing. Ribs were too spicy for me, but they were the hottest sauce! It was so nice, relaxed, and just an all around fun lunch, even with two toddlers in tow. Service was crazy fast and helpings were huge. Ice cream was also sublime

Ashley-Nachelle Delahoussaye

Best ribs ever!

JoeyB3 B

The food is good. The portions are big. The people are good.

Dulce Bedolla

This place has a good environment and is family friendly! They have a bar and outdoor seating. They also have different types of bbq sauce on the tables and while you have to order at the register like it was a fast food service, they will deliver the food to you. They also have an ice cream parlor attached of the far side by where the bar is. We were too stuffed to get anything but they had many delicious flavors and toppings. Definitely worth checking out!

Jeremy Snavely

One of the few places you can get beef ribs!

Cece Winsett

It was my first time eating here and I give it 10/10! Lei was very nice , helpful and hard-working. The woman at the creamery was super sweet and nice. I'd definitely return here❤️

Rena Taylor

The food is great reasonable prices very friendly staff.

Michael McIntyre

Great food, great service. Outstanding pineapple upside down cake ice cream.

Duane

While the service was great the pork sandwich I had was not. The bread was the dominant flavor in the sandwich, I even added hot BBQ sauce but it was no help. We are unlikely to return.

Ericka Ruiz

The bartender Chris was very attentive and made sure I got what I wanted! West coast beer was on point!

Andrea Rosene

Love the pulled pork sandwich. A bit pricey but all in all good

Esther Luevanosfelix

Staff is awesome. Didn't expected for my fries to be sweet. But food over all was great.

musicalvoyager71

Great bbq and cold beer.

Winter W

Their customer service is amazing. Great, knowledgeable, friendly people. The food is good but I've never really understood what the big deal was. I've had it before and it was good but expensive. I gave it another try recently and same experience.

Savage Spartan

I went there for a solid hour, and now my clothes smell like smoke(not something they can fix, so I won't get rid of a star for that). Food was amazing to

Nan Smith

The baby back ribs were not that good. They didn't have any smoke flavor to them. Ribs are supposed to be tender and fall off the bone. Not like this at Brushfire. French fries were good but tasted like mashed potatoes rather then fries. I would suggest you would not get the ribs with sauce as the sauces are at tableside. We unknowningly asked for the mild barbeque sauce. This was not that mild as there was a large amount of pepper in the sauce.

carlos dion

Great food. Real BBQ. Love everything. We had the ribs, the brisket with sweet potatoes, coleslaw with fries and a couples of beers. Restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. The choices of BBQ sauce on the table was finger licking good.

Michael Trent Lowry

Good food & good portions.

Maggie McCarty

Fantastic BBQ! The smokey chipotle sauce is my personal favorite and can go next door to their ice cream shop for dessert after. They've made nice upgrades to their patio as well, when the weather warms up a little I know I'll be stopping by to watch a game and have some great food and a beer outside.

Charles Eck

Bushfire is a neat place with good food and a nice selection of BBQ sauces. You make your order up in front and are given a number. Your food is brought to your table or bagged for take out.

Jessica Echave

Great food but somewhat expensive

david lanham

My wife's favorite comfort food! A very hip joint, craft beers, craft ice cream, tasty smoked meats!

Brian Dunleavy

Service was fast and meat was great. Nice place and menu.

Stephen Culp

Good and fast BBQ, amazing ice cream and beer! Very friendly, staff even gave me money-saving advice while placing my order. A go-to lunch staple for me in Tucson.

Jean Brecke

Had the chicken sandwich...definitely needs sauce. Side options offer nice variety. Disappointed to learn Pepsi us coming....

Kirk Sturdevant

Service was ok atmosphere was good but the food was very bland for a BBQ establishment. The potato salad tasted like mashed potatoes with paprika not a lot of flavor. The brisket I got was a very small serving and they did have a larger size but there wasn't anything anywhere showing portion sizes not even pictures on the wall menu. The briskets only saving grace was the BBQ sauce I dumped onto it to give it taste. The chicken however was great still small but moist and flavorful and the cinnamon iced tea was pretty good. Since I wasn't full when we were done eating we decided to get shakes to go however there wasn't anybody in the establishment that knew how to make shakes so I ended up with a scoop of ice cream in a dish and was disappointed yet again. Probably won't recommend to anybody.

Patrick McNamara

3 stars Brisket portion was disappointing. 5 stars Ice cream was phenomenal. Average 4 stars.

Isamar Alfaro

It was a lot off food and it was good. The servers were nice as well. Food was cold when it arrived though.

Donald Jones

Literally one of the worst meals I have ever had. For 35 dollars I expected something better than hard bread and cold meat. Although the service was good I expected something better than a cold meal.

Mary C

Absolutely fresh, delicious, sauces were so yummy! Very nice staff too! I'll definitely be back when I'm in Tucson.

Meredith Simmons

The food was good but disappointed in the customer service. Placed an order over the phone, when I got there I waited 10 minutes at the pickup spot before anyone would acknowledge me.

Sheryl Gomez

Very friendly staff, yummy food.

Bonnie Still

Melt in your mouth brisket!!

Nancy Winton

Great food, prices and lots of it

Rachelle Manahan

Delicious! Just the smell of barbecue when you walk in made my mouth water. Great selection of meats . Everything I've tried so far has been delicious.

D.C. Price

Loved it. The food was hot and plentiful. The service was very attentive. I have been looking for a bbq place for some time and have found it. Highly recommended.

peridotscout Elijah moore

I only went to the ice creamery, so if you're looking for a review on the barbecue food , this is not the right review. I had three bean vanilla, and it's probably the most delicious vanilla ice cream I've ever had really good super creamy, tiny bit more expensive than I would have liked, but $4 for Two Scoops isn't a horrible price

Joyce Eich

Corn not hot,rib is good.

Ana Arzabe

Absolutely scrumptious Nacho fries with succelent brisket !! Very prompt and friendly service.

Shannon Kaye Germanos

Great BBQ with hearty portions. Brushfire also owns the creamery next store. Their ice cream is delicious with a wonderful variety of unique flavors like tiramisu, baklava, apple pie and many more. They also have ice creams that are spirited, for grownups only.

Ross Faley

This is my favorite bbq. Good food, reasonable priced, quick service. Its cafeteria style. Order, pay, then they bring it to you. There is an attached ice cream parlor. All made in house. First time in my life I couldn't finish. Too good.

Patricia Jones

We live the beef brisket ...and outdoor patio.

Steven Tilden

Second visit, I want to give kudos for the restaurant for military veteran discount, great prices, food & service, but the chili I ordered was totally overwhelmed with HOT Jalapeño seeds, so I couldn't even eat it, although I love and eat hot and spicy food every day. I had to throw away most of the largest order size. :(

Patty Woods

Honestly I wouldn't recommend this place. I was so disappointed. The meat was so tender but I don't think any spices are used cooking it - no flavor. The BBQ sauce is pretty good and saves the meat.

Thomas Scott Kerr

Excellent BBQ selection, service and value!

Jet Smith

This was only my second visit to Brushfire. The first time I went to get take-out for someone else. Today it was all about me. I had the Smokey Brisket and the deviled egg potato salad. The food and service was wonderful. I absolutely will be frequenting this place.

Connor Nelson

Called , left on hold for 10 minutes. Had to call back and was told that they dont have any delivery drivers, was then put on hold again and found out they indeed could find a driver, but they cant deliver more than 1 mile from the storefront. I'm assuming this is because they use bicycles and scooters to make their delivery runs? I'd recommend saving yourself a headache and just order Dominoes.

Ben Dayho

2 of my favs are gone. Messy Fritos and messy pork rinds. Who knows what has changed? Apparently the original owner sold it. It now looks like a sports bar. I have a feeling it's going to go downhill. Then maybe not, they are opening a 3rd location downtown.

Cam Gaff

This place is hit or miss. We go about once a month. The flavor is usually pretty good, but the portion sizes are so inconsistent. Just last night we got two orders of the Hungry Tots and the container was filled so low you could see the bottom. Other times it's filled close to the top. Also, they often coat the tots in bbq sauce, but sometimes they don't. We just want consistency so we know what to expect. When it is different every time, it's frustrating.

Jeremiah Taylor

Prompt, and friendly service. Always great BBQ! Definitely worth a go! And did I mention milkshakes at the attached ice cream shop?!

Fistula Carbunkle

Very good food. Reasonable prices. Great attitudes from the employees.

Emily Bishop

Long wait to order, and long wait for food. But it was good and hot food. The creamery was best.

Exec Sec

Homemade ice cream was good. Could've had a better selection. Lots of doubles.

tom emineth

Just order plate of nachos, 10 bucks wasn't worth very small not even appetizer size. Been here twice no more save your money.

Austin Chester

The barbeque is absolutely amazing, you can't go wrong with a menu like they have and the sides are great. I would highly recommend this place, it will satisfy any hunger you have.

Richard De Priest

Good food good service

LoveMyJeep

Love this place...the smoked salmon is fantastic and the most amazing chicken wings...love the selection of liquor and beer! Staff is friendly and they are thorough with to go orders!

Frank

Food was delicious. Staff was friendly. A bit pricey for the amount of food. I didn't leave hungry. Solid 4 stars. I rarely leave 5 star reviews.

Riley Moe

Chili was gross. They didn't take the orders properly at all. Actually, they directly opposed the orders we asked for.

Rudolf Cehak

Great smoked meats and choices of BBQ sauces! Great ice cream next door! Life is good!

Danielle Callahan

Customer service is great here! Comfortable dining with a cool atmosphere! They have two fire pits outside with huge screen TVs to view current sports while you dine by the fire.

Mike Evans

Great food but a little pricey.

Bruce Murchison

Nice selection of BBQ items.

Rosalyn Weene

Love the meatloaf and tater tots. One of the few places that serves beef ribs anymore.

yoyo332978

I'm from Texas and I will say y'all got your BBQ down. Thanks for a great meal.

Eddie P

Love my ribs. The deviled eggs potato salad is tasty with the beans ( my wife says that's two starchy foods) but pft...little pricey for two people.

Timothy Webster

Great staff, outstanding food and there's Ice Cream. I did not try the ice cream, however I was too full...lol.

Pamela Zirbel

Loved the food, staff very friendly. Appeciated the military focus and discount

Foster Hawkeye Meier

Great BBQ joint!

Morgan Stoll

Very expensive. $3 for a fountain drink. Order was $48 for 2 sandwiches and a kids meal and there was barely any meat in the sandwiches. Never going back.

A Gomez

Super pricey for the amount of food. Its a barbecue restaurant but all I could see in my brisket sandwich was the LARGE sub style bread it was cradled in. Got a single star for the fries.

JMSTek76

Great BBQ and Fries. Great place to watch the game. Nice outdoor area. Friendly staff.

Richard Hastings

Stopped in for the ice cream. Pecan pie ice cream is awesome. Too much white-chocolate chips in the English Blonde. Fruit Loop ice cream was good in A sample but not so much for an entire scoop. Flavor-board was out of date so was bummed that something on it was not available.

Zach J

3.5, based mostly on their tiny portion size. I ordered a brisket sandwich, which comes on a Huge roll, almost Subway size. The first bite was Nothing but this baked plate space filler! Once I actually did find the beef, it was decently tender with good smokiness. I guess if I'd have ordered three personal sandwiches, it would've been a filling experience. But for $10+ a pop, I wasn't really trying to drop $40 on a simple lunch break.

Leslie Keene

Excellent brisket and a full bar, too!

Dane Rasmussen

Probably one of the better locations. They upgraded their patio with a pretty nice fireplace and chairs. I'd definitely recommend this place.

Alma Fierro

This was our first time visiting this restaurant; the cashier was impatient as she explained the menu; ribs were somewhat dry...

Maximillian Martinez

It's been a long while since I've had their BBQ but I frequently come here for their ice cream. They have a wide array of flavors and the staff is kind and personable.

Camron Shouse

Absolutely great barbecue.

Many Rivers

Space is nice physically, brisket was inedible(one bite) baby backs had pretty good flavor, St. Louis cut ribs wayyyyy to fatty, mac and cheese cafeteria level...smoked wings was nothing special, similar to Hooters smoked wings, which I am not fond of. Again place looked great, even smelled good when I walked in, staff was nice enough...my meal was terrible

David Lafrance

Love the bbq

spirit dude

Good food friendly service

Jacob Keller

Good but I expected their sauces to be spicier. Quality serving sizes for the price.

Claudia Torres

First time eating there and it was ok. It was a fun atmosphere. Yet, their customer service wasn't a strong point. The food was warm and delicious. We brought our own coloring book and crayons for the kids.

TJ Langford

Good food. Had the wings and the messy fries. The brisket melted in your mouth

The Truth Hurts

Great service great sandwich! Never Flame Never Tilt

Phil Brown

Cafeteria style service. The BBQ pork was great, but the sides were so so.

Darcy Welch

FANTASTIC food! I enjoyed the Messy Potato with the brisket, it was delicious, tender, tasty! And their ribs are to die for! Highly recommend them!

Sandi Stutz

Deliciously delectable! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of their creamy slaw, to go. It comes on a huge sub-style roll. I like the slaw on the sandwich with the sweet BBQ sauce, just sayin. Looking forward to eating the other half for lunch! Will absolutely go back.

Fernando Duarte

Small sandwich for the price and not very good had the pulled pork and brisket a lot better and bigger at smoking butt's or kiss of smoke

Bill Way

Best BBQ in Tucson (stacks up as great anywhere)... cool atmosphere... nice people! Love their creamery too. Can’t wait to come back!

Vance Webb

They really didn't have what I wanted

Racine Krock

Awesome food but never got my green beans but also was in a hurry so didnt say anything, friendly, fast and have beer

Jeffrey Zappia

It was okay. Defiantly try the i adult ice cream. Best part
