    Early bird special
    Angela A.

    This place is no frills and old school: solid food, good prices, and friendly service. Hubby got the early bird with 2 eggs, potatos and toasts. I got the hungry baby with eggs, potatoes, bacons, sausages, and 2 biscuits and gravy. We washed it down with hot coffee. Yummy. Service was friendly and super efficient. Cash only. 100% anti-hipster. This place is awesome.

    Before I leave reviews, I read other folks reviews to see if maybe I missed something during my visit(s). I went to leave a review on this place, read a review that bugged me so I had to go back to eat there to see if the negative reviewer was right. I didn't see the issues I read about. Alice's Restaurant is a little hole in the wall, greasy spoon type place. Started in late 1970's by 3 folks who later sold it. About 10/12 booths/tables and a small counter you can sit at. Food is good and tasty, place always looks relatively clean. Prices are average for a breakfast place. Parking in the front and side of the building. Only thing, Sometimes the service is slow.... Even when they aren't busy, but they eventually come around. We really like Samm... fast, efficient, makes sure our order is right, smiles, and seems to enjoy her job. If you haven't already, you must try Alice's Restaurant... S/W corner of Pima & Craycroft, tucked away next to Ace Hardware.

    Open face Turkey ( lunch meat )
    John K.

    Big big menu , in this midtown diner west of ace hardware sw corner of Pima & Craycroft. I took friend to lunch there on their suggestion loves Coca Cola memorabilia . Very clean restaurant , no employees wearing masks fyi . Very friendly ,fun server Vera". They enjoyed green chili cheeseburger & fries . My hot Turkey open face traditional meal w mashed potatoes & gravy disappointedly had folded Turkey lunch meat on it . Most prices 7-10$ range . Funny.... With all the Coke memorabilia they only serve Pepsi products? Plenty of parking including west side of restaurant. " Coke , Coke no Pepsi , Pepsi !"

    Nice restaurant. Been here a few times, some with colleagues for lunch…read more Food is good. I've had a variety of things, some Mexican dishes, some American. Did a breakfast once. I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try, I think you'll like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

The food is delicious. Also, the plates are enormous, so you'll definitely have some leftovers. If you're near the airport and looking for breakfast, skip Denny's and Waffle House and opt for Sunny Daze. The price point is the same (actually probably better), so you just get way more bang for your buck. Easy choice.

    Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

    I ordered the lobster and crab omelet and found it under seasoned and devoid of much lobster or…read morecrab. As a whole, I feel like the side pairing of challah toast with jam and butter is an odd choice. I also ordered the iced Thai tea, which was quite weak. Overall--I wasn't really feeling it. When you go to Teaspoon, you're really paying for ambience over quality. There's no issue with the service here, from hosts to wait staff. The food is simply underwhelming, and thus so is the experience. I wouldn't be mad to return, but I don't know if this would ever be my suggestion.

The brisket was delicious, the sourdough was top tier, and the tomatoes, spinach, and gyure cheese all worked so well together with the sausage gravy on top...I was in heaven. It came topped with two perfectly poached eggs and the side potatoes were tremendous. Perfectly crispy on the outside and nice and starchy on the inside. We also got the Chilaquiles Verde and I was super impressed. The pork was incredibly moist and again they absolutely nailed the poached eggs. The green chile sauce had great flavor without being overly spicy, which I appreciated because I like flavor but not too much heat first thing in the morning. The tortilla strips stayed crispy the whole time and it came with a side of mixed fruit, which is always a winner in my book. Of course I couldn't pass up dessert. We tried the lemon blueberry lavender olive oil cake, which is gluten free. It was pretty crumbly (maybe due to being gf?) and I'm probably still 50/50 on lavender as a flavor, but overall it was pretty good. The coconut cream pie was the real standout for me though. Super creamy with great coconut flavor and the slice was huge! Our waiter did a pretty good job and even though the patio was fairly busy, it stayed comfortable because everything was shaded. There were a few flies hanging around, but that is kind of the tradeoff for sitting outside. The interior dining room looked really cute too, so maybe next time I'll try sitting inside. Overall, I liked it and there's a few more things on the menu I want to try so I'll definitely be back. It was a great little brunch spot.
