A few iconic Arizona foods probably come to mind when you think about our state: Navajo tacos, cheese crisps, and chimichangas, for example… but not BBQ. Perhaps the best BBQ in Arizona can be found at Colt Grill, which has four locations in the Prescott area. When you try these mouthwatering smoked meats that are so tender that they practically fall off the bone, you’ll think you’re in Texas or Kansas City instead of northern Arizona.
With locations in Cottonwood, Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Sedona, Colt Grill is a family-owned local chain that's making moves to put Arizona on the map when it comes to BBQ.
All four of the restaurants boast a Western-chic style complete with taxidermy, faux-hide upholstered chairs, a brick fireplace, and lots of rustic décor. The ambiance is very cowboy-esque, but in an upscale way.
Hardwood-smoked for hours to achieve the robust flavor associated with the BBQ of the American West, these mouthwatering smoked meats will steal your heart at first bite.

The menu features every cut your heart could possibly desire, from baby back ribs and brisket to chicken and pulled pork.
The sides at a BBQ joint are just as important as the meat itself, and Colt Grill delivers on both fronts. Options like jalapeno cornbread, smoked mac and cheese, and crispy seasoned fries complete your meal, along with a full bar pouring cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits.
