Foley Ranch

Went last night on cowgirls night. The music was good and the dance instruction was a nice touch. The only thing that's keeping it from giving a 5 is that we were right in the walk way of both the women's restroom and food service area while trying to dance. It just seemed like an afterthought with no systems in place.Drinks were decent but difficult to get the attention of the bar staff.Parking is a pain. I don't hold this against the place if you have been to desert ridge you know parking is trash. Best to find a spot and "hike" in...Also their webpage/socials/internal video monitors ALL list different times/dates for their specials...TL;DRGlad to have a country themed dance place that is within driving distance of civilization. I wish them great success

This place was really cool and definitely look forward t going back! We walked in with a group of 17 for a bar time experience after dinner and they sat us really quick at a table with ease! Our server Haley was AMAZING! She was so kind, funny, and checked in a lot to make sure we were good! She even checked on those outside partaking in beer point.The foley peach tea was amazing and pretty similar to a tea drink I had at the bulleit distillery last year :) Also I love how many line dances the djs played! Definitely a place to come hang out dance and enjoy the evening

If you're looking for great BBQ and amazing live country music mixed with dancing and cold cocktails, you have arrived. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff was on point. My wife and I are big-time foodies and like to go out, we haven't had great service post Covid. These folks know how to do it. They were all over it and super friendly. We never had to ask for anything, there were plenty of people and they were super friendly.I am a barbecue snob so I'm always a bit apprehensive when ordering ribs. They knocked it out of the park. We started with jalapeño poppers. Amazing. And then got ribs with hush puppies and chips.Our server, Celeste, was a super super sweetheart. Super attentive and personable. We would go back just to hang out with her. I spoke to the manager on duty Shelby, it shows why the establishment operates the way that it does. The temperature of the staff will always be dictated by the manager. Well, done, Shelby.Needless to say, we will be frequent flyers here. It's right down the street from our house so that makes it handy.

I have been following the Facebook and insta of this place waiting for it to open, I finally made it out this way. The atmosphere is so laid back and gives that great chill country mood. The food was good especially the brisket and the pulled chicken , potato salad was stellar! Smoked chicken wings were tasty and the wedge salad was great. We also ordered a brisket sandwich it was a no go it was a burnt end sandwich overly salty and greasy we had to send it back. It was not the brisket that was on the meat plate. Service was great and they have live music on Saturdays 6-10pm it's a really fun place to hang out

I was chomping at the bit for this place to open for months. So cool to have a country music and BBQ place in desert ridge. It's a great addition to the area. I've been a few times already and it's always been a good time. Friendly service too .Our food favorites were the ribs, brisket and beans. The music is great, the dancefloor is large and inviting. There's a. Outdoor patio with ample seating and fire pits. Definitely a good choice for a fun night, dinner and drinks.

I love atmosphere. They have a great dance floor with live music. It can get pretty crowded, so I suggest making a reservation during the weekends. Large projections for tv but it will have rodeo on most of the time. Service was good just had to flag down are server as it was a busy Saturday night. Food was good. The brisket and ribs are great. I've come when they literally just open the doors and the hush puppies were nice and soft. This time going at dinner time, they were really hard. Almost too hard. Drinks are solid but can be a little sweet depending on what you get. Overall great for bbq and some country dancing! Likely this place will survive since it actually has good food! High hopes

Three visits down and love this place! The bartenders are always so kind and easy to talk to, Jessica helped on the most recent visit and she gave great recommendations on the food. Brisket is the best I've had so far in AZ, the dry rub ribs were tasty, I've had the tacos on taco Tuesday before and those were good. Good music, I hear the dance lessons while I'm there so I have to remember to come for that. Drinks are always good and nothing ever takes forever no matter how busy I've seen it.

Popped in here for the first time over the weekend just as it started raining so I'm sure it was quiet because of that but the live music was wonderful. I love the bar seating facing the stage. Great spot to watch dancing. I only tried the twisted pretzel but loved it. Menu and prices looked great! I'll definitely be back.

My husband and son joined me at Foley Ranch for a Sunday lunch. I really like the layout of the restaurant, you would never know it was formerly a Sweet Tomatoes! Plenty of room for stage and dance floor with high top tables and booths all around. Great decor, excellent modern country music selection and staff is very outgoing and friendly. We were seated in a booth indoors by our choice, but the tables on the patio near the fire looked awesome. Our server greeted us promptly and took drink orders, which someone else delivered to the table after a long wait. We wanted to order a couple of appetizers but they were out of the fried mac and cheese and the bacon wrapped jalapenos. The server was quite apologetic and said if the mac and cheese was ready before we left she would bring us a sample. It was not.We ordered the smoked chicken wings, a serving of eight plump wings for $16.99 which was not a great value. The wings didn't taste smokey to me at all, although my husband said he could taste the smoke. They were not crunchy, but cooked through. Not tender, like slow smoked meat would be. They were served with thinly shaved celery and a ranch-ish dressing that was pretty tasty. The honey hickory BBQ sauce was pretty ordinary, I wish my son had ordered the spicy for the wings. When we ordered our meals we did not get offered a choice of BBQ sauces, and so I never did get to try the spicy one! I ordered the brisket plate with creamed corn and country style green beans. Husband also ordered the brisket with the cowboy beans and the potato salad. Son ordered a half rack of ribs with hush puppies and french fries. The waitress was sure to tell us that the French fries stay warm for up to 30 minutes and are fluffy inside like mashed potatoes with a barbecue seasoning on the outside. I will start with the French fries, which everyone loved. The seasoning was more like Cool Ranch Doritos seasoning, and these were narrow wedge fries cooked very crispy and certainly delicious and fluffy inside. The half rack of ribs is a very meaty portion, however they are not tender. They do not fall off the bone. You have to gnaw them off the bone, and even then the meat is chewy and even a bit dry. It is a generous half rack, and my son didn't finish it all after his six wings so that says something! The hush puppies were three large fried cornbread balls with a side of a quite delectable honey butter. Although I did not try them they looked to be great and got no complaints from the giant teenager.The brisket plate came with about half and half fatty and lean brisket. Some places offer you a choice, and I usually choose the lean style at most restaurants, but that would have been a grave mistake here. The fatty brisket was excellent, tender and moist. The lean brisket was dry, brown, overdone and chewy. The barbecue sauce couldn't save this meat. The side dishes I chose were creamed corn (which wasn't very creamy and was roasted corn with maybe a splash of mayo or heavy cream. Edible but not special. The green beans were clearly fresh as four beans still had inedible stems attached. They were cooked with a little piece of pork fat and had a nice flavor, but they were extremely mushy and not an attractive shade of green anymore. I would love to see a sweet potato fries side dish option!! My husband fared a little better with his side dishes on his brisket plate. He raved and raved about the cowboy beans which had a little bit of a spicy bite, and were cooked until soft and creamy. The potato salad looked to be red potatoes and was clearly very freshly prepared and tasted like homemade. He ate them all. Our server was very attentive and kept up with the many RC cola refills required by my thirsty men. She tried to sell us on the mason jar desserts because we could take them with us and keep the jar, but we were stuffed and had already spent over $90 on one appetizer, three entrees and two sodas. She processed the check pretty promptly, and invited us back. BBQ is never cheap, but the Desert Ridge Marketplace is also the high rent district and prices reflect that. Personally I will come check out the drinks at the bar and the great country music. But I don't think you'll get the rest of my family to return, because the four stars in this review were solely based on side dishes and service, and not the slow smoked, tender barbecued meats that should be the heart and soul of any barbecue restaurant. There are three much better choices within a five mile radius!

Had a wonderful time here with my mom and best friend! Julia was one of the best servers we've ever had and was so sweet and attentive! Her service and attitude has earned us as regulars! The smoked pineapple margaritas are so yummy, the blueberry lemonade cocktail, which is their sweetest, you literally cannot taste any alcohol whatsoever if this is something you like! Mac n cheese starter is tasty as well as the frito pie. I found the wings to be average and nothing exciting unfortunately but as a new restaurant, I think they're doing phenomenal and thriving!The dance lessons are a cute touch, the band was amazing!
