We arrived at opening on a Saturday. I gather there is a breakfast side and a "bar" side to this venue. (Thus the really mixed reviews!) We were on the breakfast side. I love the colorful accents of lighting and chairs - it just brightened my morning! It was our first time, so even though the menu is not huge, the creative names of each dish just made me want to read everything! I gathered our server was either the manager or the owner - he was a hoot - it took him a few minutes to warm up to us, but then we were totally engaged. I had the breakfast entree with chicken-fried chicken (the name escapes me something like "any cock a doodle will do"). It was delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy, fried beautifully into strips. The side potatoes were great, and my eggs were cooked perfectly to order. The meal lasted me for most of the day! The Hubbs ordered a breakfast bowl with their meatloaf, and he loved it! A huge portion - the leftovers made a second meal! They kept the coffee coming, and service was fast. What more can you ask of a breakfast joint? It's on my list of Tucson favorites now.

Good burger and tots. Come hungry!

Check your bill. When I got back to my room I noticed the bartender added a sandwich we didn’t get. We were leaving early the next morning so I couldn’t get a refund. We stop in there at least twice when we’re in Tucson for the Gem & Mineral show, but never again . . . Unless they want to refund me the price of the sandwich, tax and tip.

This place is hit and miss. Not sure why they hire people that can't wait tables nor why the manager on duty didn't help out. Over salt on tots ruined them. Will be a long time before I venture back in and will leave immediately if the same waiter is still there.

Just passing through decided to stop or a burger. The well done burger was inedible, bacon was over cooked. Chicken strips were slightly over cooked and service was friendly but quite slow to get the food to us.

We came for the Saturday night karaoke. (Karaoke Thu-Sat 9pm, Sun 4pm) WOW! Great crowds and environment for karaoke. Drinks were yummy. We didn't eat so can't say much on the food. But my niece super enjoyed her 21st bday here and there were 2 other big bdays groups here. Huge selection of songs.

I went in for the karaoke. The atmosphere was great the vibe amazing and a handful of pretty great singers. This place would have been perfect but the amount of time that I got my portobello burger took way too long. When I received my burger, it was an enormous burger and I believe it would have been amazing if was cooked and hot. I didn't bother sending it back but I wasn't sure how long I would have gotten that burger. I ate it uncooked and cold. I knew what they were trying to achieve flavor but again, it wasn't cooked. I felt bad telling the bartender the truth about my burger because she was so excited to get my feedback. I'll be going back and try a different menu item but the drinks were amazing, especially the spicy margaritas.

Bland bland bland bland bland! I'm super sad that the new location doesn't even come close to how amazing the old location was. The food I just ate was not even worth eating. The burger was medium but still burnt somehow. The meat has ZERO flavor. ZERO. The grilled mushrooms were raw. The caramelized onions could maybe count as grilled, but calling those limp tentacles caramelized should be a crime. The blue cheese I ordered was in such a small quantity it was undetectable. The bread was way way too thick for the burger. The bread to meat ratio was way off. And god the bun was DRY even with mayo and that gross spicy mustard they are in love with. The tots were literally the worst I've ever had. How do you ruin tater tots?!?!? They were so dry and flavorless. I wanted to cry. The sweet potato fries looked how they used to look at the old location, but they tasted like paper. Nothing. Even the sodas were bland. Like they turned down the syrup level. The location is bad too. I didn't feel super safe by one of the bumniest parks in town. Maybe the business from the hotel is keeping them open? It's not the food. The food at the old location was made with love. This is made by people who just plain don't care. There were several things on the large menu I wanted to try, but I'm not gonna come back for any of them after that burger. I'm so sad and disappointed.

I used to love this place. Until they hired Ryan Jones. He is disrespectful and the furthest thing from professional/friendly. Won't serve me over his personal issues that he caused himself after losing my card and not returning it until 4 weeks later. Will not be coming back. Until he's fired; like he was from the last bar, when they figured out the kind of person he is.
