History
Looking for a change of pace & a quiet town to start off married life, Lance & Liz Avery moved from northern Colorado to the town of Springerville. Bringing awesome slow smoked barbecue to this area of the White Mountains was the brainchild of John & his son Lance Avery. The building existed, but the business had been shut down off & on for many years. After a major renovation, training with the best barbecue restaurant in Phoenix, and a whole lot of elbow grease, the business opened in stages. The 'Chuckwagon' convenience store & fuel station opened in September of 2013, the 'Waterhole' Bar opened in November, followed by 'Avery's -BQ' in January of 2014. Avery's RV Park has been open for business since the property was purchased. Since then, the Avery's & their staff, have been offering consistency & quality with a simple menu that revolves around slow, smoked-to-perfection meats. Locals & travelers alike, agree that this small restaurant doesn't look like much, but sure delivers!
