Carnivores of Yuma

EXCELLENT! It is my new favorite place to eat at whenever I come to Yuma. Great food. Great prices. Best bang for your buck! Try it and you won’t be disappointed!

The food is very good. The meats are cooked outside by the door. There is a Grilled Pineapple that is out of this world. We had Taste of Brazil, dinner for four. It was more than we could eat. The waiter offers a gogo box. There was a meal for the next day.

This was my husband and I’s first date night in over a year and I’m so glad we chose Carnivores. The atmosphere was cool and relaxed, the service was superb, and the food was delicious!!! This place is a diamond in the rough, would totally recommend!!!

If you happen to be taking your medical boards behind a 99 cent store in Yuma AZ you should check out this place. All I can say is, get the $ 17.99 lunch combo for two– what a value! The husband and I got lunch and dinner out of this; this would never fly in San Diego! We got so much meat we didn’t even ask for a second serving of fries, which were unlimited for this lunch special. (Warning– food servings may appear larger than in photo) It’s no fuss kind of cooking, and all done on a huge BBQ grill right outside. We tried so many cuts of meat and they were all pretty well cooked. Our favorites were the ribs, the pulled pork, and the sausage. Should also mention the customer service is super friendly and welcoming. Very happy we found this little gem!

Steak was a little dry. Got a piece of meat that was basically tar tar. I love bloody steak, but this was just raw. Nice friendly service, I think our party may have overwhelmed them.

The food was amazing. The Rio for two is 19.99 and you get such a variety of meats and other things. Please give them a try you be amazed.

A great value for your money! Hubby and I shared a half-​size Brazilian sampler that came with 4.5 lbs of meat, 2 sides and 5 or 6 dinner rolls. We had to take most of it home as it was just so much food! The ribs and pulled pork were my personal favorites. The sausages were fantastic, too, along with bacon-​wrapped chicken and of course the yummy grilled pineapple. I also had a house margarita and it was amazing! Not too sweet and just strong enough. It also went great with the meats! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The interior is pretty unassuming but clean and well-​kept. A great place to eat overall! We will be back many many times I’m sure!

The picture of all the hot meats grilling on the outside barbecue right when you walk in sums up the dining experience. The salad bar is pretty good the chili had nice chunks of meat in it. But the variety and endless amounts of meat is what you come for and it was very good. I don’t think many people eat the desserts because when I was there a tray of cobbler in a steamer tray was actually cold but I was so full from eating all the other delicious stuff I didn’t mind.
It’s a pretty good deal if your hungry. I thought the service was good. The place looks clean and the booths were clean. Parking is easy.

Worth every star… great staff, the salad bar alone was worth the price/trip…and the BBQ was amazing. Come hungry, you will be happy you did so you can try all the options. Take a break from the chains and support local business… Carnivores is a great example of why everyone should.

Great spot for this area. If you have the time to eat and sit, definitely stop here. $ 20 for all you can eat, and the meat is cooked perfectly. Great deal.

Ill give em 4. $ 20 for a bbq buffet is legit. The meat was mostly good, no actual complaints. Must point out the sirloin and kielbasa were on point! Desserts weren’t refrigerated but i did enjoy the cheese cake and chocolate cake. Both of which i topped with cherry cobbler. Salad was fresh. Beer was reasonably priced, $ 4 for a domestic bottle. We went around 8pm. I would probably recommend going a bit earlier in the evening. Also the staff was really cool, hope my review helps.

I think it is a hit and miss place. A big problem for them is they don’t seem to able to retain their waitresses and their moms and sisters come and help. They put them on the floor with absolutely zero training. So I would one star for the waitresses and the service. I consider myself a true carnivore, I love meet and have eaten some expensive cuts in my life, their food is good but it can be better, the bring a lot of their cuts almost raw if they are busy or dried out if it is lunch. I have tried them twice and I will give them another shot !!

I sure hope I hit this on a bad day… it was one of those places that I left angry, that’s how bad it was.
We went for lunch. I should have known when I saw the salad bar and ‘hot’ foods. Everything and I do mean everything looked tired and old. It Was 12:45. A bit early to quit putting in effort.
Ok, on to the actual food. We waited about 10 minutes for meat. The meat server said they were grilling more meat but had a piece of kilbosa, chicken and pork available. And some grilled pineapple.
I couldn’t eat anything except the pineapple and kilbosa. The other meats were over cooked and dry.
Waited another 10 minutes and here comes the fresh grilled meat. There were chicken legs, pork ribs, ham and pineapple. The only good piece was the chicken leg and it was a bit over done. The pineapple was not good but that part is a matter of taste. It was covered with cinnamon and sugar. Grilled pineapple is good just grilled, but that part was just a matter of taste, not the way it was cooked.
Ok so I won’t eat the meat and I decide ok, I’ll have a dessert. Now my husband is a sweet lover and would probably eat sugar off a spoon. Neither of us could eat the dessert. There was some kind of white cake with some blueberries cooked in, but you could tell it was old. Then there were two hot trays with Apple and peach cobbler. Stone cold and the cobbler was raw. That’s it. Lunch was 33 $ and one of the worst I’ve had.
Unless they change things or just close down for lunch we won’t be seeing this place for long. I sure hope dinner is better. But I won’t go here again. If the waitress had asked how my meal was I would have told her, but she didn’t. I think the full plates of food covered in napkins told the story. Yikes!

I was so happy we found this place! The yummy selection of meat reminds me of Texas bbq. We showed up for dinner on Valentine’s Day and there was no wait!!! The restaurant was filled but somehow we managed to get seated quickly. I have a feeling not many people know about Carnivores yet, especially because it’s not located off a main street. The concept is simple, all you can eat meat carved table-​side, plus side and salad bar. Not as fancy as I’m used to (I’m from Houston) but it was still cool! The food was great and the service was too. Nothing to complain about, especially for the price. We will come back again.

We came for the first time on Valentine’s Day! They’d only been open for a month and a half and it was the busiest night they’d had so far! Considering how busy it was the food and service was great! My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed dinner and drinks served by the bartender, Sarah. I was super impressed with her ability to juggle at least 8 tables and the bar as well as make the servers drinks in between. The only time we were waiting was for the meat platters to come around… But that was to be expected considering the amount of people in the restaurant. However, we weren’t disappointed when they did come by. The tri-​tip was our favorite! I’m so happy that we chose this relaxing atmosphere with 5 star food and service for our Valentine’s Day meal!!!

First I’m not sure where all the 4 and 5 stars are coming from. Are they eating at the same restaurant?
Pros: The only reason I give 3 stars is because of the Cook on the grill (can’t remember his name). He was up beat and friendly. He gave better customer service than the waitresses. Also, the food was good. So those are good things.
Cons: The food setup reminds me of a hospital cafeteria. The cookies were terribly hard and the dessert table was just sitting there. Didn’t look to professional.
The biggest con to this place is service, service, service. It absolutely horrible. We flipped the little puck over as soon as we got there and the servers were all on the other side. After waiting for 15 minutes, I had to ask for the meat cart. I wanted to leave but my wife wanted to give them a chance. We never got asked for refills, the plates were not cleared from the table and lastly, when it was time to leave, the person that gave us the check didn’t have a pen. After 5 minutes my wife dug one up from her purse.

This is by far one of the greatest places I have ever eaten. The meat selection is massive. We tried every type of meat they prepared while we were there. Even if you can’t eat a lot of food, for the price and quality of meat, it is still worth going.
The service was excellent. Very attentive but not intrusive or repetitive.
I honestly meant to take many pictures of the selection, but by the time I got my camera out all my food was gone.
If you have never been here, or just passing through, I highly recommend that you stop and have the best meal of your life.

Great place for all you can eat meat. The ribs are pretty good even with the sweet bbq.

Weren’t at our table for 5 mins before a big platter of meat arrived. The 3 of us made our choices and were scarfing down some really good BBQ in record time. All the meats were good. The chicken was moist and tender, the meat fell off of the ribs, the sausage was tasty.
The sides and desserts were OK.
The service was outstanding.
We’ll be back soon with the rest of the family.

Family and I made it for dinner a couple of weeks ago. Even before I went in I was talking to the grill master outside who was happy to answer my questions.(Warning) Do not eat anything within 24 hours at this place, otherwise, you will not get your $ 19 worth. I tried a little salad and some mashed potatoes at the buffet and then this guy starts bringing plates and plates of all you can eat sausage, tri-​tip, sirloin, and bacon wrapped turkey. Yummm they even have Walt Kamman sausage there… I am normally a big eater but next time I’ll save my appetite for the meat and a dessert. Staff is fast and friendly. We were there for over an hour. And don’t even think about asking for a doggie-bag!Ha!
