“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff are amazing, so friendly and accommodating. The cauliflower was amazing!! Meals were perfect, great flavors, perfect portions. Outdoors is made for children, or adults who want to have fun. There are games galore and a lending library, seriously, who does this to entertain your children? It was comfortable and cozy and charming and delicious. I'm only sorry it has taken me this long to get there, my new go to spot. Thank you so much for being a fabulous place to be on the east side!!!“

“The food is delicious. This place has a waiting line. I had the pecan waffles with sugar free syrup. The waffles are hot and tasty with plenty of pecans. The sugar free syrup tastes as good as regular. My husband had the Texas Patty Melt. We would definitely order these again. The service is outstanding by all who work here. But a special shout-out to Veva. Very sweet and efficient. She makes you want to return.“

“We ordered the turkey cob salad,
caeser salad, salmon with broccoli and cauliflower and steak, gluten free mac n cheese and a side of sweet potato fries. Very unique restaurant and all the food was very tasty. Turkey cobb was incredible, only wish is that the portions could have been bigger. Really nice aesthetic inside the restaurant too.“

“The Diablo burger! Zinburger on Grant Rd in Tucson. Full bar and large area for dining! Most burgers are $14 with the option for fries or side for another $2.50. We had the Zucchini fries for an appetizer. You could easily come in and just eat those, they are that good. I had the Diablo burger, (see photo). It was fantastic! Grilled jalapeños and pepper jack cheese. It was perfection on a bun. Most everyone’s burgers soaked their buns to the point the buns were falling apart from the juice. The buns were brioche and to me the only option for a burger. The staff was very friendly and the entire experience left me hoping my digestive system works overtime so I can come back sooner. Check out Zinburger on Grant Rd in Tucson, you may not go anywhere else!“

“Went the other night to listen to live music, The Egg Thieves! The pizza was awesome and the band was so fun!“

“Wow we had bday brunch this am. it was amazing. great service. great food and drink. xander was wonderful and helpful. He needs a promotion and a raise. It was not my first time but it was my best time thanks. I will be back. I recommend“

“Our waiter, Marcus,, was exceptional! Fun and knowledgeable and very service oriented. The noise level was very high and our friend thought his sandwich of chicken was very tough. Marcus wanted to replace his meal but our friend declined his gracious offer. The poke bowl was the best ever! We will return!“

“I ordered the blackened salmon greens and potato bowl. It was beautifully presented Our server, Michelle recommended 2 wines and brought us a sampler of each so we could decide. Michelle is an excellent and attentive server. She gave us a card and flyer about future events. When we complimented how much we enjoyed our meal she even asked the Chef to visit our table. Great gal When we revisit the Hacienda I will definitely make sure she is working and request her as our server. A credit to the resort!“

“They always have such a welcoming environment and their food is always so yummy! I go here whenever I get the chance! Love their stuff! Great breakfast place to have great food and an awesome/super friendly staff! Give them a chance and u might be hooked haha 😄👍💕“

“My daughter chose this restaurant. It was good. The waiter was friendly. I'm glad I tried it once. Will I be back? Probably not. The food was good but nothing exceptional to make me drive 45 minutes.
It's an old building, so carpets and bathrooms need some TLC.
We had the soup of the day. It was a flavorfull tortilla soup with ground beef, We tried the salmon, the Cordon Bleu, spare ribs, and crème brûlée.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“good food and atmosphere“

“This is a good place to come and eat if you're on this side of town.
I wasn't impressed with what I chose for myself. I had an omelette that I wasn't fond of.
I had the spinach, mushroom, bacon with Monterey jack cheese omelette. I switched out the bacon for ham and added tomatoes .
The ham was tiny pieces of what looked like lunch meat ham and had no flavor to it. The mushrooms were the jarred little mushrooms. I am not a fan of processed food to begin with. This meal was too much for me. I am just not going to get an omelette from here.
The home style potatoes could have been left on the grill longer. The 1 piece of toast and not 2 like other restaurants was disappointing. I paid almost $20 for my breakfast and I was disappointed. The orange juice was good. I wish I had 2 pieces of toast maybe I wouldn't have left hungry.“

“First off: Bathroom is very clean. Always a good sign. These are DELICIOUS. I was a little apprehensive at first but the clerk was very helpful with recommendations. Very polite and fast service. Fries great fresh crispy. They have GREAT sodas that are free of HFCS that are delicious and come in a great variety. I think they go well with the food too. If sods is not your lane they also have many flavors of Slushies and Boba Drinks. Parking is tight but if you don’t mind a short jog there is plenty around in the adjacent stores. Oh wait😊
I forgot to add that you can choose which ever kind of meat you want for your dog. I’ll always BEEF; but if that ain’t YOU you can always change it. It’s a Corndog FanGurl Dream—customizable Corn dog. 🌽 🐶 For the Win. I’ll DEF’ Be back. 😊🥳❣️“

“It was such a wonderful experience!“

“Excellent food, brilliant breakfast and very friendly service 😃👏“

“Great food and service with an beautiful patio“

“Great beer selection, awesome food from appetizers to mains, friendly staff and plenty of tv’s. The patio is awesome,as well!“

“Tohono Chul is a delight that cannot be missed. The gardens feature wonderful examples of native and desert-friendly plants through winding trails. You'll pass through everything from cactus and butterfly gardens to ripirian areas and learn about the plants and their history and uses along the way.

I have been here in all seasons, and even in summer, which is traditionally the more dormant time for our desert plants, there is still so much to see and enjoy, including summer bloomers and wildlife. But come early (the park opens at 7). Also in summer, on Friday and Saturday nights, they have free live music.

At the far end of the site is an art gallery, which is worth a visit, and in the courtyard, the gift shop has local specialties. If you've been inspired by your visit, Tohono Chul nursery has native plants for sale.

No visit is complete without stopping in at the restaurant, which has indoor seating and also outdoor seating in the courtyard or in the back under the trees. Beautiful. The menu offers unique takes on traditional dishes and a few surprises. For example, local heirloom beans, squash and cactus can be found on the menu. The prickly pear margarita is quite nice. I am partial to the trio of tacos. The restaurant is a little expensive, but I think it's worth it.“

“Nice place to meet and hit a few balls with friends“

“The Tap Room at the historic Congress Hotel is a true Tucson treasure! Tucked inside a building full of character and history, this cozy bar hits all the right notes—from atmosphere to drinks to music.

John, the bartender, is absolutely top-notch. His Old Fashioned is one of the best I’ve had—expertly crafted, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can tell he knows his way around a bar and genuinely cares about creating a great experience for every guest. Friendly, professional, and a true craftsman behind the bar.

The music selection was fantastic—cool, laid-back, and perfectly matched to the classic feel of the space. It’s the kind of spot where you can unwind, have a great conversation, and enjoy a drink made with real skill.

Whether you’re visiting Tucson or a local looking for a great bar with charm and quality, don’t miss the Tap Room. Ask for John and treat yourself to a real Old Fashioned—you’ll be glad you did!“

“Pleasant place to edit on start of lecture and/or ball game. Lots of choices. Seems vibrant with the students.“

“I don't know why I took me so long to try this restaurant at one of my favorite spots - The Desert Museum. The service is prompt, friendly and professional, the wine recommendation spot on, and the food delicious! The menu options are temptingly unique. Compliments to the chef and staff!“

“Thanks a bunch to our server, Amber, who was super attentive and kind!!! Always love this location cause it's the closest, quick seating, good food, fast service, and amazing staff! Thanks for amother great meal!“

“A great attentive staff that really caters to the weary traveler. The kitchen staff does a great job delivering the goods! Hope to get an assignment and see the band on Cinco DeMayo (5/5)… should be a great time at the Glowball.“

“We had a great server and I wish I remembered his name but he was an older gentleman and was quick with a joke and easy to talk to. Our drink were fast and our burrito was great. I saw some breakfast potato’s and within a couple of minutes he had them to us. Would eat here even if we were not staying on the property solely off our server interaction.“

“The green chile cheeseburger is good, the fries very nice, crispy. The price is to be expected at such a place. $13 first the basket meal, drink separate. The Mexican food is not very good, bland. I think catered to the snowbirds.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wide spaces, tables easily accessible“

“1st time back in 10yrs and still great, thank u“
