The Horseshoe Grill

The Horseshoe Grill is Tucson's premier destination for authentic mesquite-fired steaks and slow-smoked BBQ, located at 7713 E. Broadway Blvd in the heart of East Tucson. This beloved local steakhouse has earned its reputation by cooking exclusively over live mesquite fire using their signature J&R Char broiler—no gas, no shortcuts, just pure flame-kissed flavor. Every steak, burger, and fresh fish fillet develops that signature crust and depth of flavor that cannot be replicated any other way. The restaurant proudly serves only USDA-inspected, grass-fed and grain-finished beef from American ranchers, ensuring the highest quality on every plate. Their J&R 600-pound convection smoker runs strictly on mesquite wood, producing tender brisket, pulled pork, baby back ribs, and Polish sausage smoked low and slow at 210 degrees. The THG Meat Sampler Plate—featuring pulled pork, sliced brisket, baby back ribs, and kielbasa—is the crown jewel of the menu. Weekly events include Taco Tuesday with San Diego-inspired Baja tacos and discounted tequila, plus Whiskey Wednesday with premium pours at reduced prices. The restaurant offers indoor dining, a welcoming bar area perfect for happy hour, and accommodates large parties and private events. Open Monday through Thursday 11am-9pm, Friday and Saturday 11am-10pm, and Sunday 11am-9pm. Catering and online ordering available.
