the original mr. k's bbq!

first time to this location and was not disappointed. the food and staff are very good. had theribsand brisket. great sides also. thanks

great food and price!. this was our first visit to mr. k's. i had the turkey sandwich with fried okra. my wife had the two meat plate with greens, mac & cheese,ribsand chopped brisket. everything was fresh and the meats had a great smoked flavor. unlike other local bbq joints the protiens were not over seasoned or dry. the greens were a little peppery for my wife amd could of used some chicken stock. over all though this was agreat meal. the mac & cheese had to be some of the best we have had. my sandwich was huge! lots of moist well seasoned turkey. theribscame off the bone as they should and the dry rub was just right. not to much and not to little. mr. k's is a great value with more than ample portions. the rest of the bbq places in town better get on there game or wave goodbye. for now for my money it's going to be mr. k's for the que.

by far the best ribs!!. wow.....theirribsare smoked and slathered to perfection! the bbq is so good and strong that it has my fingers smelling likeribsfor 2 days!! the staff is always nice and professional. prices are decent and menu options are pretty fair.

although the location is not in the "preferred" or "prime area" it makes it that much better of a tucson hidden gem. i wish they would open up a bigger restaurant. seating isn't the best....but their baked beans and sweet tea are!!

overall review- forget chili's and applebee's, you haven't tasted real soul bbq until you come here!!

best bbq in tucson. real bbq evidenced by the tell-tale pink smoke ring inside the meat. the beef brisket is thinly sliced, moist and smokey, even without any sauce. theribsfall of the bone yet have a dark sweet chewy outside. i'm drooling while writing this. i have been to most all tucson bbq places, imho this one has the smokiest tasting meat, not overwhelming, but subtle. they don't rely on their sauce for the bbq taste, it's already in the meat. mmmmmm!

!st and last trip to mr. k's. really - who reviewed this and said it was good. i got a bad feeling when we drove up to the restaurant but don't like to judge a book by it's cover. we went inside , still a little leary. then ordered our meals...theribswere not cooked, the meat was dried out and then covered in a kind of disgusting sauce. the corn on the cob was waterlogged but probably was good at one time. the soda was flat and there was no ice in the machine. the coleslaw was the best part of my meal and it was floating in the dressing. the restaurant was not clean but the staff is very friendly - so that's the best i can say about the place !!
