YUM!!!! The tomahawk was seasoned to my liking, the Cajun pasta was creamy and delicious! Portions were huge. Must try if you’re in Sonora

Being a Sonora native, I’ve seen plenty of establishments come and go—but Emberz has truly weathered the storm. Always packed, always solid. We came here twice during our visit—yes, it’s that good. You know you’re going to get the same quality no matter what day it is or who’s working. Service can be a bit slow, but that’s simply because it’s a large space and it’s always busy. Drinks from the bar? Good. Desserts? Good. Pizza? Solid. But the CHICKEN WINGS—I’ll be thinking about those bad boys for the rest of my life. The size of these things must have come from giant dinosaur chickens. Honestly, almost worth the six-hour drive just to get them again. From here on out, I will always order them. I also sat next to a table that ordered some kind of monster sandwich, and while I didn’t have it this time, I WILL be getting it on my next visit. We finished with the brownie for dessert, and it was good. 10/10 for this local legend.

Food was OK (wings sufficient, burger good) and service was helpful. We were so so tired and jet lagged when we arrived, but our stomachs were at least filled

We were visiting from out of town and Emberz was recommended to us. So glad we stopped in for lunch. Cool place with great food and staff. Appetizer was bacon wrapped shrimp. Entrees were Lobster Truffle Mac n cheese and Saltimbocca. Drinks were a beer and Huckleberry lemonade. Can't wait until our next visit to go back.

This is a delightful little restaurant located in the heart of Sonora. I kid you not, there is not one bad item on the entire menu. Our party of 9 had probably 20 different items that we ordered, and there were no complaints whatsoever, instead everyone just raved about what was in front of them. The staff is super friendly, very efficient and knowledgeable as well. Check out some of the pictures.

It was delicious, huge portions for adequate money, the meat in the burger was fresh, juicy and well fried! Salads are big with fresh vegetables . Nice enough place in American style ! You can see that it is an old place, but that's what makes it atmospheric! It is worth visiting if you want to eat a lot of delicious food.

The best roasted chicken of my life! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. The service was incredibly kind, and signing the book made the experience even more special. A must-visit!
