“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!“

“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!“

“Food and service were above average. Very enjoyable atmosphere. It is very inconvenient for handicapped individuals. Parking spots are far from the front entrance and there are only a few. There is no automatic door opener. They rely on their host to open the door for you. When I went no host happened to be up front.“

“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 had such an amazing meal at Pin + Flour! The BBQ platter was absolutely incredible and came with all the sides, including a fresh and delicious tomato & watermelon salad. And you HAVE to save room for dessert — the Banana Pudding Crème Brûlée was such a fun twist and so good!

We also tried the quesadillas, which were packed with flavor, and the carrot cake was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had.

The atmosphere is just as great as the food. You can sit indoors or outside, there’s a full bar with TVs if you want to catch a game, and the whole place has a really cool, relaxed vibe.

Nestled in the Catalina Foothills near River and Campbell, the location is super convenient. Definitely put Pin + Flour on your list — we’ll absolutely be back!“

“delicious food, delightful, happening atmosphere and great gluten free options!“

“Good food great service, love the ambience!“

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

“My boyfriend and I waited a while for our food to come out. However, after about 20 minutes our food came but the sauce on my enchiladas was cold, as well as the inside. My boyfriend got the grilled fish tacos. It seems like the flour tortilla used was repeatedly reheated, resulting in it becoming crispy and stale. The fish had a good grilled taste, but that's it. It was bland- no tang, no salt, no spice. It's disappointing that we waited so long for our food and received it cold, it doesn't make sense. It seems like our server was running all over the restaurant since his tables were so scattered. I'm not saying it's his fault, but we were forgotten in our little corner on the patio. The only memorable thing was the chips and salsa.“

“Liked the location and vibe of this restaurant in Hotel Congress. We had a party of ten, they took a credit card to hold our reservation but we were the only ones there. Our waiter was very nice but got some of our drinks wrong. The food was hit or miss. Those who ordered salads were very happy but several of us had the ribs and they were terrible. One person commented that she could not find any meat. Dessert was excellent so maybe start there!“

“I’ve never had a bad meal there. Just tried their stuffed avocado and it was excellent. If you haven’t been to the Eclectic Cafe, give it a try! 😋“

“Whenever we are in town, I go to the bistro by myself in the mornings for amazing Sonorran Eggs Benedict and to walk in the.garden.
This past Friday night my partner and I attended Jazz Under the Stars and had a wonderful meal of beet salad, fried chicken, and pecan pie dessert. The food was scrumptious, as usual, the atmosphere.is always.delightful, the jazz quartet was.top notch, and Isabella is my new favorite waiter. She was attentive and anticipated our every need. And she has a sparkling personality and kept us entertained. Don't lose her!
This is one of our favorite places to dine in Tucson.
And thanks for.the rainbow, an over-the-top, so to speak, bonus.“

“During our stay last week at The Westin La Paloma, we dined at La Luz Restaurant three times - twice for dinner and once for breakfast. Each visit featured courteous, prompt service, excellent cocktails, and rich, flavorful food. We appreciated the consistency. La Luz is a wonderful restaurant. Thank you!“

“Consistently great! I always get fresh well prepared healthy food. So many restaurants in Tucson are so inconsistent with the quality and service , but I can absolutely count on a good meal when I go to Flower Child. I just wish they had more locations.“

“Loved the experience! Delicious food. Will be back again!“

“La mesera Aaliyah nos dio muy buen servicio. Y tuvimos una muy buena experiencia y ademas fue muy paciente con nosotros! Fue el mejor servicio de toda mi vida Amen! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food, fun drinks, awesome music.“

“Portions were large. It was steak night. They were perfectly cooked and large. Large serving of in season vegetables. The servers were very friendly and helpful. Large variety of dishes. We were a large group and it was handled perfectly.“

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

“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 😄👍💕“

“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 great place for a group to gather and hang out! Whether it's a board game hangout, a group of tech nerds or a writing group, the venue is very accommodating and it's easy to pay with separate checks electronically.“

“Stopped by the Tap Room at Hotel Congress and really enjoyed the vibe. The old-school bar has so much character — the kind of bar that somehow convinces you to stay for “just one more” drink.

I tried the Voodoo IPA and a Pueblo Vida, and both were excellent. Great choices if you’re into craft beer and IPAs. The atmosphere is lively but still comfortable, making it a great spot to hang out, enjoy a few beers, and take in a little bit of Tucson’s character.

Definitely a place I’d come back to. Good beer, historic atmosphere, and a bar that makes it very easy to lose track of time! 🍻“

“enjoyed my meal at Chop Shop in Tucson! I had the Pina Kale Ada protein shake and the teriyaki chicken, and both were delicious. The shake was weird tasting at first but very refreshing, flavorful, and a great choice with the meal, while the teriyaki chicken was tasty, it needed more chicken so I had to order extra chicken to make sure I hit the protein target, it well prepared. A spot I’d visit again when I’m in Tucson!“

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

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Great food and service with an beautiful patio“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“Went here for the first time today and I'm not disappointed at all!! The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing!! We love trying new places especially that wont break the bank!! Definitely will come back here!!!“

“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!!!“

“this is my happy place. from the kind workers to the quality of the dogs, this place is the best. my favorite is definitely the potato dog while my girlfriend thoroughly enjoys the kimchi fries. i used to not be very fond of this business because of my experience with the one in tempe, but this one is 10x better. the prices are a bit much, but hey what isn’t these days. this is definitely worth it though and i will always come back for more!“

“I had reached out to the hotel with some questions about suites and they were always helpful and friendly. The hotel is really clean and I love the whole atrium interior. We got a suite and love the extra space and the AC works well when it’s 257 degrees outside. The bed is awesome but it’s pretty low to the ground and a little tough to get up off the bed. The hotel is right next to a bunch of restaurants and night life and it’s great getting to walk to party rock at the bars and walk back to our room and not worry about Uber/Lyft stuff. I am a Wyndham diamond member but tired of their horrible hotel brands so looking forward to building on our bonvoy loyalty credit card.“

“The Randy's Carolina omelet was absolutely delicious! Karlie was a lovley server and the staff all seem to really enjoy working here the cooks were singing along to the radio and just generally having a good time. A very cozy place to slow down and have a nice breakfast. Really feels idyllic in its vibes. A wonderful way to start my day“

“We had an amazing experience at Hacienda del Sol last night, and a huge part of that was because of our server, Alexander. From the moment we arrived, Alexander went above and beyond to make our evening special. We had flowers and a card waiting for us at the table, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy our conversation and never once made us feel rushed. Alexander was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, professional, attentive, and demonstrated excellent etiquette throughout the entire evening. He was able to answer our questions, make recommendations, and provide the kind of attentive service that you don't experience everywhere. What stood out the most was the level of customer service he provided. He genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience and exceeded our expectations in every way. Alexander is an excellent representative of Hacienda del Sol, and his service truly helped make our evening memorable. We greatly appreciate everything he did and would absolutely recommend asking for Alexander if you visit. He deserves to be recognized for the exceptional service he provides!“

“This is part of the second set of cafes in the park. There is an accessible entrance area with a push to open Button. What's really nice about this Cafe is that it's super huge and there's plenty of seating that could fit many many groups. Another thing I liked is that not only did they have an order counter area if you wanted to order their food but they also had a nice selection of snacks to go including sections with assorted code drinks and they even had assorted sweet and salty snacks like popcorn.
Clean and open ambiance.“

“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.“

“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!“
