Amazing to find legit barbeque Texas- style in Safford. Their smoked turkey is some of the best I've ever had. They now have food daily until they sell out and a good selection of tap beers. Check out the huge patio out back. The spicy BBQ sauce and the Hatch beans are delicious.
Amazing atmosphere, staff is so nice, and food is delicious!
Great vibe, great addition to Safford, great owners!

Retrograde Brew & BBQ is a popular spot known for its excellent beer, great vibes, and friendly staff. The brewery offers a variety of well-poured, balanced beers such as Hazy Pale, Amber Brown, and Dos Hazy, which are highly praised for their quality. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with open doors, wood smoke in the air, and a back patio where dogs and families are often seen. It’s a place where people can bring their kids, friends, or even their bikes to enjoy the environment and conversation.
The food features delicious brisket and ribs, which receive high praise for their flavor. However, some reviews mention that the food can sometimes be served cold or with hard buns, and that the salad can be overly salty. A spicy pickled cucumber dish is a highlight, and there is interest in vegetarian options like jackfruit. The menu is responsive to customer feedback, and the owner and staff are noted for their hospitality, often going above and beyond to make visitors feel welcome—even offering food and drinks when the restaurant is closed.
Overall, Retrograde Brew & BBQ is celebrated as a quality brewery and eatery, combining great beer, tasty BBQ, and a laid-back, friendly environment that keeps visitors returning.
