Great food at a reasonable price. People here are friendly and the place is clean. Next time I'm in Tucson, I'll be sure to return.

I was expecting better breakfast. Eggs over cooked. Hash browns were as hard as a brick and oily. Bacon tasted funny. I don’t recommend but in all fairness, I was a chef for 40 years and some people love this place.

Quiet little place. Surprisingly good food and great specials. You must try the pancakes!

It's a great spot for breakfast. Their pancakes are something I crave on occasion. Staff is regular and it's nice to see familiar faces. The breakfast spot always hits the spot.

We LOVE the Crying Onion Cafe for breakfast. Their buttermilk pancakes, and their sweet potato pancakes are to die for. So yummy. Crisp around the edges and paper thin.... The fried potatoes with onions and peppers added are divine. It's definitely a hole in the wall and not much for ambience, but service is fast and friendly and the food is reliably yummy.

Food good, service great, coffee price $6.50! Ridiculous! More than my biscuit and gravy that was $5.00. I will not be back. To compare, Baja Cafe coffee is $3.00 cup.

When I lived in Tucson, this was a frequent breakfast spot for us. It's been several years since we've eaten here and today we were surprised by all of the changes. The menu is different with lots more Mexican food options. I attempted to use the Yelp discount but was told it wasn't accepted on the weekends (we were here on a Sunday morning). After about a 10 minute for a table, we were welcomed and seated. Coffee and waters came quickly and we were given a good amount of time to go through the menu. Ordered: Basic 1 egg, sausage patties and hash browns: The eggs and patties were cooked fine but the hash browns were a greasy flat serving of shredded potatoes. Nothing to write home about. BLT with fries: Again, nothing special about the sandwich...bacon was cooked crisp and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. Served on toasted bread. Patty melt with salad and tots: Had to send the first sandwich back because the burger was raw. The tots were good and crispy but when the remade sandwich was returned, the tots were gone! When I mentioned this, she brought me an order of tots. The second sandwich was cooked a tad more but the bread was soggy and the whole sandwich just wasn't good. No seasoning on the patty either time. The salad was good and crisp and the ranch dressing was decent. When I went to squeeze some yellow mustard onto the plate for my patty melt, it was spoiled...watery and brownish. I mentioned it to one of the servers and she brought back a brand new bottle, which was appreciated! We all agreed that we most likely won't be back. Things certainly change!
