Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of Fire! Off the chain! My first five-star review this year! Too much to photograph. Too much to say. This is the best thing happening in Queen Creek! Crazy big. Crazy fun. This place is the size of an entire shopping center! The baby back ribs are to die for . It is not inexpensive. It is not your typical barbecue place. You could spend this much at steakhouse and sit inside in a fancy place instead of outside at picnic tables in the dirt. Typically you wouldn't spend $40 on a steak to sit outside at a picnic table Buuuuut, You want to be here.. and do that Live music. Excellent country and western band! And this is really important, coming from an audio guy The music is not blasting! It's at a comfortable level and consistent throughout the venue I know these things. Lots of families here with infants and young children. But no dogs
I attended a family event, anniversary, on 11/8. Beautiful location, great vibes and friendly staff. I was really impressed with spot that was rented out for our party. It’s not San Tan Flats fault, but I had to eat a bowl or romaine lettuce with onion and tomato and no dressing because they all had dairy. Thankfully there were vegetables and fruit to snack on. I didn’t select the venue so I cannot complain when I was a guest. Just a bummer I couldn’t eat a proper meal and had to get food on the way back to the Airbnb. There was really good energy at this place and the band was awesome. Besides the fact that I’m vegan, I don’t drink alcohol and I have a severe allergy to cigarette smoke. Be aware that if you cannot tolerate cigarette smoke…or have a severe allergy like I do, this is not the place to be. Thankfully, I made it through a majority of the anniversary party before I had an attack and needed assistance leaving. Again, my issues are based on my health and my lifestyle. I only went to this location for the family party. So the five out of five stars is because this place is great if you eat meat, drink, smoke and like country vibes.
This place is a new discovery. Some good friends of ours took us here and wow. The atmosphere, the staff AND the food is amazing. If you like a rustic, outdoorzy feel, then look no further. A bonus is, outdoors they have several fire pits you can use when it gets cold...S'mores anyone? The only bad news is, it gets busy and the wait can be long. Anyway, put it on your list of foodie places to visit, you won't be disappointed.
What a great place to have a small wedding if you don’t have a budget. All we did was rent the room and have everyone get their own food and drinks. But check with them. They offer much more. 30+ in our group. The staff were outstanding just loved them. Always eager to help. Stay as long as you can. Enjoy the live music with your friends and family. Thank you so much. Oh and you’re out of the heat when you have your ceremony.
I would recommend going here for the vibes and music. The food was prob a 4 out of 10. However, the fried pickles were amazing. I ordered the New York strip medium rare and they cooked it well done, I could not even finish it because of how tough it was. The wait time to get sat on Saturday night is about 90 minutes so get there early. The live music and firepits and dancing were great though. We would definetly go back for that.
Large rustic setting outdoor venue with a lot of water misters. Has nice sunset views. Expensive drinks. Good and decent priced food. Not a lot of indoor seating. Looks like a great place for weekend live music.
WE love this bar my mom was visiting from Florida for Thanksgiving and we came out here almost every day that she was here because she loved it so much! Brittany was phenomenal, TBH everybody was absolutely wonderful. My mom wants to come back to AZ - ASAP just to come here! Ps. My mom bought all of her Christmas gifts in the merch area.
