I've driven past it so many times. I finally decided to try it out. I knew it has been around a long time. Since 1947 in fact.

It is a very unique restaurant. It very much feels like old Tucson and the Southwest. The environment and decor are cool and rustic. The lighting is dim in the evening and there is live music. The band was very pleasant to hear at a great volume. Not too loud at all.

The food was delicious. I had the beef ribs that fell off the bone. I liked that the bbq sauce was on the side. The sauce is not a too sweet bbq like so many others. This is the way I love it, like Gates BBQ in Kansas City. My wife had the sirloin that was cooked a perfect medium rare. There was a nice smoky taste to all the food.

You can smell this place from a long ways away. The smoke and meat aroma wofting by you.

On a last note. I think one of the biggest reasons our visit was special is the staff. It seems like they enjoy their job.

Good job Lil Abners.
