Finally! I had driven by Mr. K's a few times, and they were closed, but traffic routed me by there, and I finally got to try them. I'm from Michigan, and catfish is a staple food. Not so much in Tucson, so I jumped on the catfish platter and got the greens and Mac and cheese on the side. Everything was hot and delicious! The catfish satisfied a craving I had had since moving here! I couldn't leave without trying the ribs, so I got a half slab to go and the peach cobbler. I wasn't disappointed! The ribs were big, meaty, and juicy. The peach cobbler was good, too! There is a menu displaying a lot of choices so you will find something you like. Enjoy!
The best soul food in Tucson Arizona hands down the catfish was amazing. The sides Mac and cheese and the greens and the sweet potatoes was amazing. Just like grandma’s cooking…. Will definitely be back
Best BBQ I've had hands down. Service was amazing. I had pork ribs they were soft and tender. Sauce was so good I was licking my fingers clean the whole time. Corn bread was moist too. I got to taste greens, sweet potatoes and beans. Everything was so good. 😊
I had an appointment in South Tucson. Looked up local places. Decided to try Mr. K’s Original BBQ! Hole in the wall joint with amazing food. Which are my favorite kind of places ! DELICIOUS food with a very gracious and courteous staff that is accommodating and CARES. Something that’s been disappearing from many businesses. Best BBQ I’ve had in my 17 years of living in Tucson. Will definitely be back with friends and family next time. Thank
You
I’ve been all around the country and even the world but Mr. K’s BBQ is hands down the best I’ve been too. I’ve been to KC, Texas, Georgia, Vegas, Cali, and more but this spot has the tastiest food that melts in your mouth. The customer service is outstanding. I brought my kids and the staff was so supportive of what the kids would eat and the seating the would work best to keep them entertained. The staff helped work through the menu and the food didn’t take long at all! I highly recommend this restaurant as it blows any bbq spot in Tucson out the water! Try the brisket and pulled pork!!
Have to say by far the best BBQ so far in Tucson. It always makes you feel good when an owner takes pride in he work and wants make sure that everything is to your liking. We were even give sample in some choices we didn’t order. 5 stars for great tasting food and great service.
Great customer service, friendly and clean. Ribs are the best. You can always tell if the ribs don't need any sauce, they are a great bbq place (Sauce on the side was great). Treated my non meat eating wife to samples because she is picky. A must try and a must visit.
Real barbecue and real flavor. Mr. K’s does a great job. If I were to complain, I’d say the cornbread muffin was a little bland and the mac and cheese a bit too thick for my preference, but overall everything was very flavorful and satisfying.

Well driving from Utah to Tucson. After nine hours of driving we just we need to eat and we’re in the mood for meat…
At first we figured it could go one of two ways…
We had the chicken pork and beef each one better than the next.
One of the most unique and enjoyable coleslaws I’ve ever enjoyed.
If your within a 10 mile radius this is definitely a place you need to stop and enjoy
I'm from the south. We are picky with our BBQ. This was really good. The people were very nice. The only suggestion was the coleslaw needed stirring and to be a Lil fresher. But other than that we will be back
