“Best Valentines Dinner ever! Tender fall off the bone pork Osso Buco and tender delicious short ribs and lobster. Hope they serve this 5 star dinner again!“

“We ate in the outside area and our table was where the rain could hit but we were moved to a better table very quickly when it started to rain to the area that had covering. The heaters were working well which was nice. The service by Jorge was very good. The Cadillac margarita is delicious and my short rib machaca bowl was very good. The meat was tender and the taste was very good.“

“Delicious and fresh, meets my needs with not using seed oils jn the dressing/no cornstarch. Owner super friendly and proud of their business!!!“

“I had my retirement party there a little over a week ago. The staff was great - helpful, attentive, yet unobtrusive... and also friendly and just really nice. The food was absolutely fantastic. All of my guests raved about the dinner and the cakes we had for desert. So many thanks to the chef(s) for a delicious meal. The venue was charming and, because the weather was about perfect that night, we were able to enjoy the patio as well as being inside. I can't thank the staff at Café a la C'Artl/Carte Blanche catering enough for making our celebration so great!“

“My wife and I went last night for the first time. Best steak I have had in Tucson in a long time. Highly recommend!!“

“On the move again and found ourselves needing to get something to eat. Had a craving for breakfast and Cup Cafe won the search. Nestled inside the classic Hotel Congress. This quaint spot has a very rustic vibe. Plenty of exterior seating, cozy interior feel. Excellent customer service from start to finish and the food was excellent. Make sure you check out the quote wall. Parking will be a challenge, however, there are parking structures well within walking distance. Also, several other venues such as other restaurants, convention center, even multiple hotels and public service facilities. Will be visiting again.“

“Excellent meal. Mushroom soup intensely flavored and supremely delicious, scallops perfectly seared, bone marrow was perfect, king salmon was amazing. Great wine selection. Professional yet friendly staff. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“Wonderful food. server was kind. We sat outside and the atmosphere was perfect. Would definitely go back.“

“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.“

“What a lovely way to spend the day. An educational stroll though native habitat, and beautiful artistic and thematic gardens. See birds, butterflies, enjoy excellent garden and gallery art, then sit down in a lovely patio to enjoy wholesome, fresh and interesting food with a delightful cocktail.“

“This is an excellent spot for a social Gathering, especially on 1/2 price Tuesday. They have plenty of space for groups, good seating, a large bar area and they split checks as well. Easily one of the best gathering spaces in Tucson.“

“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!“

“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 😄👍💕“

“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 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!“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“My first experience was on their 1/2 off burger 🍔 special day. To say it was great is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I went back that Thursday for a chat and corona 🍋‍🟩 but ended up getting the steak dinner 🤤 Today, (Friday) I tried the Mediterranean chicken sandwich and the SATISFACTION every single meal brought is undeniably the best food I've had in Tucson! Waitress knew my drink order after one day, knew how I wanted my fries and even how much of a side sauce to add.
There's a reason they've been in business for 18+ years!!“

“I love this place. Went there for breakfast this morning and I had the green chilaquiles. My dining partner had the veggie scramble. Both were delicious! The coffee was good, service great and we enjoyed the local Tucson experience. The ambiance is so-so, it's a café, but everything else is top notch. Food is house - made, seems to be made from scratch. Definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“Great food, fun drinks, awesome music.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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. 😊🥳❣️“

“I recommend this place a lot to people. I’ve been coming pretty consistently for a more than a month. This is my go to spot after work out. Their protein shakes/ juices and food is always fresh, the flavor is consistent and they’re pretty quick. I can always count on my pickup order being done by the time it’s estimated.
I’ve had so many things here and the only thing I’ve been let down by is the wrap, better to just leave it as a bowl. But the dragon fruit protein shake is a favorite in my house !“

“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“

“Great band and food. Our server was very knowledgeable on pairings and made our first time here comfortable.“

“the moist tender chicken was flavorful. we are fans!!“

“We had lunch here today. Mary at the gate greeted us and told us about the procedure to order we had a lovely lunch sitting outside and were able to watch Mary from our seats. Let me tell you Mary is worth her weight in gold for this business.. thanks from two Canadians!!!“

“Ok well the grounds alone speak to the quality level of this restaurant. This hacienda is a dream - and the Terraza is absolutely lovely. Sit indoors behind floor to ceiling windows, or outdoors by a fire pit if the weather is conducive. The wait staff is stellar. Alex was incredibly attentive and very helpful with ordering. The cheese board is one of the most impressive I’ve ever ordered which was special. Pretty much everything we tried was very well made. My pretty in pink drink was soooooo good! Would absolutely eat here again, and next time I want to try the other restaurant on site too!“

“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.“
