Arizona Opry Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    The Arizona Opry is one of the finest entertainment venues in Arizona! I have been enjoying the food and wonderful shows for the past six years. There is a variety of different shows, ALL of which are terrific!! The musicians are multi instrumentalists and present music of all genres. The Barleens twins harmonize with siblings and play a variety of instruments. It is obvious they are accomplished musicians and vocalists. George, the musical director, was with the Tokens and their hit song was "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", a song he sings in most shows. The entertainer who sings and plays trumpet like Louis Armstrong is absolutely terrific. His "Wonderful World" brings tears to my eyes. The guy who sings "Unchained Melody" is super. One fellow does a superb impersonation of Willie Nelson. The meal precedes the show, and is very good. This dinner theatre is a "must see" !

    I was looking for something different to do on our Tuesday date night and Googled "things to do in AZ". The AZ Opry 70's show popped up and I thought it was worth a try. We really enjoyed the show! The 10 piece band performed at a steady pace with an large repertoire of songs and no "OMG get this over with" moments. The performers were extremely talented and really enjoyed what they were doing. It was easy to get into the show and sing along. The food was better then what we expected with an A for the roast and a C+ for the chicken. The female singer also runs the kitchen, the sound guy is the bartender, band members collect tickets, etc. This is a family operation with 17 family members working at the venue so there is a vested interest in getting it right. The audience consisted mainly of 60+. Hubby and I were on the younger side. I noticed that younger children enjoyed the show, but the angst ridden teenagers next to us were miserable. Aren't they always that way? Just leave them at home - you will save money and have a better time. I am putting this on our "places to take out of town visitors" list. Go to the Arizona Opry and have fun.

    My husband and I visited the Arizona Opry with our grandparents. We're in our mid-thirties and were definitely the youngest people there in a room of 500 people. I went with low expectations but we're leaving pretty impressed actually. The main performer (George) was amazingly talented and we could have watched him all day. Many of the other men were also terrific although I don't recall their names. They each perform multiple instruments and the music is a huge variety. We both knew all the songs except two so they stick to the most popular ones. Yes, it's a little cheesy but it was also cute and entertaining. Also, the food was delicious and like others noted, the portions were plenty. My only complaint is the one female singer from today- she was terrible. I guess she was one of the twins who actually owns the place so I feel like everyone knows she's a bad performer but she's the owner so who's really going to tell her? It was bad. She brought the quality of the whole performance way way down. Imagine one of Kristin Wiig's characters from Saturday night live that seems so over the top it's hard to watch then realize that's exactly this lady for real. When I asked my hubby what stars he would give them he said "4.5 or 5 surprisingly" but because of her we are only giving 4 stars. I wouldn't go there with a bunch of friends but when family comes into town and I'm at a loss for things to do, it's actually a good option.

    Came here with my family and was pleasantly surprised. From start to finish the show lasted 4 hours including a great dinner. All the performers are extremely talented musicians and pretty funny as well. The dinner was a great selection of American favorites including chicken, rice, roast beef, potatoes, fresh vegetables, and a roll. Take a look at the picture for an idea of what I mean. The one thing I didn't like is the fact your in a huge room with 500+ people all sitting on both sides of tables making it cramped and hard to see for those facing the opposite way. But altogether it it was a fun experience with great food at a reasonable price so I would recommend it.

    I don't think Tim E. and I went to the same show. I went with a group just to be social, but was I surprised! The name threw me off making me expect podunk hick quality.The musicality is outstanding, they had a nice variety of styles and admittedly cheesy humor but the crowd ate it up. The food was great and hot. They now serve both chicken and pot roast. I didn't finish it, not because it wasn't good but because the portions were too generous. I won't list the rest of the menu read the other reviews. I liked it so much we're going back for Broadway Night. The venue does not smell. I'm guessing Tim E. is young and did not appreciate the quality of the classic rock n' roll, western, jazz, musical theater and more. It is geared to their audience of 60 + and they know what they are doing

    We have now seen about 7 shows at the Barleen's Arizona Opry. Don't get turned off by the name, thinking it is all old country music. It has its Willie Nelson, but the music is so varied (and played excellently by the 9 piece band) that you won't care about the genre, your jaw will drop at the expertise of the players. Horns, guitars, keyboards, drums, and even 2 alpine horns, are so well played, you wonder why they are still in little Apache Junction, AZ (just east of Mesa). George Staerkel (married to a Barleen twin) is the music director and plays at least 20 instruments. No, not all at once, silly, but all well. The food is amazing considering they get the plated dinner served to 500 people in less than 20 minutes. The roast beef is great (even nights), and the veggies are al dente, and the large piece of chocolate cake usually goes first. Bring your friends to this show for a great time. Kids maybe not so much, unless they are musicians and would appreciate high caliber performances.

    Move over Branson, Missouri! The Barleen family has built quite the variety show mecca in Apache Junction. The Arizona Opry is a hoot! It's like a 1980s Disney variety show (no characters) crossed with Hee Haw! One of the performers looks like John Denver and sings a few covers. (There's a John Denver Tribute Show planned for February) Another dresses up like Willie Nelson. The husband is an original member of the Tokens (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) and, of course, reprises the song as a part of the show. They play about 70 different instruments throughout the night. The show takes place in a big hall off Old West Highway, filled with snowbirds and Red Hat Ladies. There's a gift shop with novelties like blinking rings and yodeling pickles and a "record store" with CDs from all of the performers. They've created quite the library over the years!! For the low, low price of $29 including tax and tip ($22 for kids age 3-12), you get all of this PLUS a cafeteria-inspired meal of roast beef or chicken (depending on the night) and chocolate cake. Lemonade and coffee are included and beer is available for $4.50/bottle. It's family fun, although, somewhat cheesy -- you've gotta give it to them - they've got talent. So, grab the kids or the old folks, and head out to the Opry. It's a kick!

    I might be a bit biased since I've known the Barleen family for many years, however, this show is amazing! Very talented folk!

    I wasn't sure what to expect when my grandparents told my husband and me they got tickets for us all to see the Arizona Opry on a recent trip. I really wasn't sure what to expect when we were waiting outside and realized we were about 50 years younger than the average guest. But, ya know what? We had a good dinner (although the servers were extremely overly helpful. I swear our beverages were filled 20 times before dinner was even served.) And, the show, in all its expected variety show quirkiness, was fun to watch. Would this have been my top choice for what to do in Arizona? Not so much. Top ten? Doubt it. But at the end of the day, we had a good time, so there you go.

    If you see a family of traveling mountain style performers as a child, and then at the ripe old age of 29 are instantly reminded of them when you walk into a meateriffic heart attack inducing "Feedbag" style restaurant...doesn't that say something about them as performers? I think it does. If you're nearby, brink yer youngins. They're gonna love it. I had a tape that I bought of the Barleen Family for years. I have no idea what happened to it. SO tempted to call them up and order a CD. Seriously.

    If I could give this a zero star I would. The place smelled, the entertainment was sub par and the food wasn't even good enough to give my dog. The owner/manager/management was some of the rudest people I've meet. They have a NYC attitude in a small quaint area. I loved Apache Junction but would steer anyone away from this if I could. The smell in the place might have been from all the old people, if your looking for a place to die, then this is your place.
