"Fork & Fire is hands-down one of the best dining spots in Tucson — from the incredible food to the friendly, attentive service. Meals start with complimentary Fork Rinds for the table and as someone who doesn’t normally eat them I was surprised at how GOOD they were! For appetizers, the Rib Pops were a creative standout — flash-fried in the house rub for a crispy exterior and fall-off-the-bone tenderness inside. We LOVED them! The Burnt Ends were melt-in-your-mouth good, rich with caramelized edges and savory perfection. And the Deviled Eggs were unique — different toppings than you would expect but creamy and tangy in all the right ways. We ordered the Combo Platter with Ribs and Brisket, and both were tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with that deep, smoky flavor true BBQ lovers crave. The unexpected hero of our meal was the house Coleslaw— It’s made fresh to order — crisp, cool, and tossed in a perfectly balanced dressing that complemented the smoked meats beautifully. We couldn’t resist dessert, and the Smoked Bourbon Pecan Ice Cream was the perfect ending — creamy, smoky-sweet, and unlike anything we’ve ever tasted. Our server, Eli, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home — truly top-notch service from start to finish. And you could tell the servers were all happy, having fun and want you to have a great experience. There’s plenty of parking, a beautiful, outdoor patio where you can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset over the Catalina Mountains, and even a private room that’s perfect for small gatherings or celebrations. Ingredients are locally sources and high quality. They also have monthly specials (this month was Octoberfest with Guinness Brats) that make you want to come back and try something new. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Tucson, Fork & Fire is a must-visit for anyone who loves exceptional BBQ, warm hospitality, and a relaxed Arizona atmosphere. Highly recommend!"

"My husband and I had an outstanding meal experience here, with tender brisket and ribs. The smoked meats were so good plus the barbecue sauces were delicious, too. The atmosphere was upbeat, clean, and modern. Parking was super easy as there's a huge lot. We opted to eat inside but many people were dining on the inviting patio, some of them along with their dogs. Service was excellent. We will definitely return."

"Good place for BBQ on the north side! It's a little on the pricey side for what you get, especially when some of the other spots closer to town come so cheap. But the portion sizes are generous, the mac and cheese is very good, lots of appetizers and side choices - a large menu to choose from! Service is quick and casual. We enjoyed our stop but definitely wouldn't pick to come for a fast weeknight bite in the future only bc it was $80 for an appetizer, two entrees, waters, and a fair tip. (I get it, good meat is expensive! Just factor that in when making your plans 😉)"

"This is a delicious place to grab some food. The service is outstanding! My family and I were traveling and passing through and the place was absolutely packed. However, it was a little chilly rainy throughout the day and so the patio was wide open. But it was still doable. We requested to be sat outside in an effort to get our food sooner and not have to wait for a table to clear. Staff jumped in right away and grabbed us some heaters and lit the heaters just for us so we could be warm out on the patio. Kids played games that they have out on the patio. The french fries are super delicious! the mac & cheese is to die for! The ribs had an amazing, sweet delicious bark that is hard to beat. Great restaurant and service! Wishing these guys much success! Had a chance to briefly speak with one of the owners and it is great to see how far they have come over the course of the years. Apparently they used to be operating just out of a food truck. Now they have two locations."

"We had a wonderful experience here today! We ordered the brisket sandwich with crispy fries and the brisket plate with vegetables, salad, and cornbread. Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Our waitress, Maddy, was super sweet, attentive to all our requests, and very pleasant. She checked on us just the right amount and made us feel very well taken care of. We couldn’t resist dessert and ended up getting a brownie, which was pretty good too. We sat out on the patio and were lucky enough to watch the sunset with the beautiful mountains in the background!"
