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
Visiting Tucson from Florida and was craving some good BBQ. I found Mr.K’s via Google. We had some of THE BEST BBQ I have ever had. The pork ribs were falling off the bone and were so flavorful. The mixed greens were absolutely fantastic as well and that’s coming from a southern girl who is picky about her greens. And the amount of food you get for your money is amazing. I ate half of my ribs and still have plenty for later! I sampled some of my fiancé’s beef brisket and Texas beans as well which were also phenomenal. The food was so good, we got more to go for later! And the peach cobbler? I don’t think I’ve ever had a cobbler so delicious. Next time I’m out west here, I absolutely will be back.
Great food and great service. I'm sure everyone has had those meals that are so good you're stuffed from a little amount of it. That was the case with the food here. Highly recommend.
Great barbecue place by the airport! They give military discount
I've gone the last 2 Fridays to eat b before heading home. Love the greens and sweet potatoes the 2nd time! Never had greens and now I'm hooked! Ray is so friendly and well help you on ordering if you can't make up your mind!
The best pork ribs I've had in Arizona. The atmosphere screams good BBQ. If you're anywhere near Tucson and like ribs this place is worth a detour.
Working in the area for a few months, saw this restaurant on Tucson Foodie site and it was excellent! My husband and I dined in and took bbq to go for later. We will definitely be back!
First time here today and it was great. The food tasted great my friend had the ribs and I had the pulled pork sandwich. He was satisfied and really liked the sauce. It took the sauce home with him I also had baked beans but the baked beans didn't have that smokey flavor but they were healthy tasting. My friend like this cornbread because it didn't crumble. The corn on the cob was saturated with water and kind of watery tasting so it wasn't very good but it was corn on the cob. Overall it smelled good from the first half second the door opened and I love that smell of barbecue. Staff was quite friendly. The dining room is mainly picnic tables but everything was comfortable. There was a TV large screen but it wasn't working or turned on. There's a stereo system but there was no music. So that's why I gave it four on the atmosphere but mainly don't go here for the atmosphere you go 4 da food!!
