Great menu and friendly staff. Definitely recommend! Outdoor seating is nice. Great ambience.

Dinned there for the first time and was very pleased with the service from our waiter Rayan, the food was good and the ambiance was perfect for dinning with family from out of town. I had the ribeye steak and it was cooked to perfection and everyone enjoyed their meals, I will definitely return it was a pleasant experience.. read more

Nice atmosphere, great service - fast & friendly, but food wasn't worth the calories. I had the salmon, which was OK, but not good or great. The rice pilaf was bland and the broccoli was average. My husband tried the scallops from the mother's day menu and was disappointed. They tough and bland. Again, the pilaf was bland and the broccoli was boring. The restaurant offered a $10 off coupon for a return visit (mother's day gift) but since I won't be returning I left it on the table. read more

We had lunch and the food was okay. Service was good. The waitress was sweet with high hair. Like she's worked there since the 80's. Which is what the decor looked like ‍. Kinda tired ambiance. I think the regulars are of a retired generation. I might try dinner to see how that goes. read more

Has the steamed clams no taste the broth tasted like boiled water I make a way better broth for my clams

One would think this establishment may not be known for its beef, but what a pleasant surprise. Its sirloin steak on the menu is always seasoned well, tender, and cooked to perfection. The frequent rib eye steak special is just that, special. Very tender and boneless. Want a steak, pick Bistro 44! read more

Just left Bistro 44. Horrible food and service. The AC wasn't working well and the staff was uncaring. The waitress didn't seem concerned or surprised that none of the diners were finishing their meals or wanted anything to go. I would rather be incarcerated than eat here again. Perhaps that's a way to cut down on crime in Tucson. read more

The menu has lots of good choices, the food is excellent, the service is very attentive and courteous, and the prices are very reasonable. A pleasant room with some charm in a convenient location. read more

We have eaten here on many, many occasions and almost exclusively on Sundays for the 1/2 priced burger deal. Pretty consistently good but Mother's Day 2025 was a whole different story. It started when we were told they couldn't find our reservation and they were "completely booked" that day. After some discussion, and feeling like they wanted us to leave, the waiter said we could sit at two tables along the perimeter of the patio and allowed us to "push them together". After water and menus were brought to us, the person who actually called in the reservation showed up and told the waiter she had called the day before and left a message. His exact response was "we don't check our messages"!! Strike one! We were then told they don't honor the 1/2 price burger deal on that day/holiday and maybe that's our fault for not knowing and/or checking if it's always been that way. We inquired about using a coupon for $ off if you purchased two entrees but were told you had to buy two entrees AND two drinks; which was no where written on the coupon. Strike two! Most everyone ordered the house burger from the menu, with a listed price of $17.49 and awaited our food. Upon finishing our meal and getting the check(s) the burgers were listed at $19.49. We inquired and were told they were using the "dinner menu" all day and not the "lunch menu". This was never mentioned to us and why would we expect the use of a dinner menu at 12:30 in the afternoon! Strike three! We reluctantly paid and left around 1:30 however not before noticing that if they were completely booked that day it must have been for later because the place was half empty! read more

The food was amazing, the waitress was really nice and very helpful. It was worth the drive. We even had our fur baby with us. So it was really nice. read more

Bistro 44 is such a great place to hangout. The staff are all personable and, more importantly, seem to truly enjoy the work that they do. I am compelled to name several of them: Scott is the primary reason that Bistro 44 runs smoothly and keeps patrons coming back. Tracy is, not only, an amazing waitress and bartender, but she engages customers in a very genuine way. Team members Shane, Carrie, Morgan, Cassidy, Avery, and Ariana are all attentive to the needs of customers. Everyone does a great job at Bistro 44! The food is very good. As you will notice in pictures, some of my favorites dishes at Bistro 44 are: Steak Salad, The Wedge, French Onion Soup, and The Almighty Lamb Chops. Bistro 44 is a hidden treasure in Tucson, AZ. Thanks for the jewels guys! read more

We have been to Bistro many times but stopped going due to just the food offerings. The menu needs to be changed counted 10 Seafood dishes on the dinner menu. This is not the Coast just have a simple nice filet with a small salad and good soft bread. Seems to cater to our older crowd also reduce the portions. If anyone in the staff has been to El Corral that is where we are going instead of Bistro. Service is always excellent and friendly and Ambiance is nice. Just wish you would rethink the menu offerings. read more

I dined here for the first time about a month ago for a family dinner and we sat outside on the patio. Our server was very friendly, prompt, and polite. All the staff were following COVID protocols, tables were all socially distanced and everyone wore masks. I had a salad to start and the Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner. The complimentary bread they give out at the start of the meal was tasty. All of our meals came out quickly and the servers all made sure we had everything we needed. One thing I will say though is the menu itself did seem extremely expensive for the for taste, quality and portion sizes of the entrees. But the service was great and patio seating was really nice. read more

The prices are high, and the food is mediocre and served in small portions. The "Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes" were about 2 inches in diameter and had very little crab, mostly meal. Came with an almost $20 price tag. My companion had similar complaints about the clams: too few, too little. The $4.99 "cup" of French Onion soup was a demitasse with too much bread and too little broth. Perhaps OK, as the broth was weak and not onion flavored. Actually, no flavor at all. read more

Not a bad choice for a salad or Cuban sandwich, we stopped in for lunch and the salads are huge! The bread for the sandwich is fresh, I first thought that it was a small sandwich, but after my first bite realized it's packed with meat and flavor... totally filled me up! Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Not a bad choice for lunch. read more

Delicious food and great service!! 1/2 price YUMMY burgers on Sundays with a beverage and the service was really great!!

Was looking for something to eat for dinner, found the place, when in. I was surprised on Friday night that restaurant closed at 8 pm. We was there at 7:45 pm, they took us as the last customer. As for the food was great, we had the steak and scallops, this 2 dishes was so delicious. read more

This is my go to place with friends for lunch. Food consistently good and service excellent. My only concern is waitstaff not wearing masks. I understand how it "looks" but it also shows a disregard for their safety. read more

We stopped in after a trip up Mt Lemmon recently with our son who was visiting from Nashville. We simply saw the restaurant and stopped in middle of afternoon. We dined outside and the food and service were great. I would recommend trying Bistro 44 read more

My daughter and I went in there for an early dinner and sat at one of the tables in the bar last week on a Saturday around 3:30. The bartender/waiter treated us like he would rather us leave then be there. Little does he know my daughter is a manager of a very popular restaurant in town and I have been in the service business for 38 years. We still tipped him well but it could've been a lot more if he would've treated us differently. What we should've done is just got up and left. read more

Service mostly great, food not bad , but if you want to go get verbally abused by several drunks then this is he place for you!!!!

Quaint restaurant with good food and service. I ordered the Spaghetti Incident which is pasta served in a butter chardonnay sauce with grilled portabella mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, green beans and spinach, and topped with freshly shredded parm cheese, with the option to add shrimp, which I did. The shrimp were small, but it didn't matter because the dish was absolutely delish. My dining partner ordered the chicken cordon bleu, which was good and he cleaned the plate. Reasonable prices with excellent service. Would have loved to try their desserts, but were were both full from the entrees. read more

I loved how we didn't feel rushed. The waiter was great and the food was good. We had a great time tonight and will definitely come back. The salad was huge and my daughter ate all of her salmon and my husband liked his steak. Thank you! read more

Stopped in for lunch today. This place was ok, but not sure I would rush back. The menu did have some nice lunch items like salads, but none that stood out that I had to have, sandwiches all ok, but not any sounded like "yes, I have to have this", same went for the pastas. I settled on a hot ham and chees sandwich that I thought said had Swiss cheese, but the Swiss was mixed with yellow cheese, drowning out the Swiss. The bread was a French roll, and good. The fries crispy and very good! Service was very good as well. It was a bit fancier that I wanted for a work lunch. It had a fancy inside vibe that didn't really match the food. read more

Meh, I had a $20 steak salad that was worth about six bucks. Probably won't go back.

I've been eating here since it opened. Decades. Always had great food and service. Until today. I ordered a $30 bacon wrapped filet that was actually a chunk of New York Strip. Flavorful but tough and a rip off as compared to a filet. Wrapped in bacon with none of the texture of filet. Marbling, of course, unlike a filet. Not all customers are unschooled and unaware. I mentioned it to the waiter John. He did nothing. Nor did the manager who, by the way, was counting paper money at the welcome stand during the 6 pm rush. Counting his bonus for the bait and switches? Extremely disappointing, especially with my 90 year old mother on Mother's Day. Not sure I will ever go back. read more

Had a great dinner service with my partner here. Jacob was our server and gave us excellent service. I ordered the top sirloin and my partner got the southwest chicken salad on recommendation from our server. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back! read more

Came in here for a late lunch, Food was blah.. and it took forever as there were 3 other people there.The waitress seemed like she was in a bad mood, very short and zero personable. Had to keep asking for condiments,napkins drinks,oh and I never got my water refilled..Will not go back nor recommend. read more

I stood there waiting for a table for a good 10 minutes while the staff talked to each other in the lounge. I was the only one in the building but they're clearly too busy to take a customer. read more

We ate at Bistro 44 over 10 years ago. It was very good. Went back a recent Saturday night at 7:25 (learned kitchen closes at 7:30) but they took our order. Chicken Marsala and fish tacos. Also French onion soup. The chicken dish was small chunks of tough chicken cooked in a sauce tasting of sugar and soy sauce. Bland rice pilaf and plain broccoli. Fish tacos had mushy fish and what tasted like Boursin herb cream cheese. Cold flour tortillas. Nothing was really edible except the soup which we enjoyed. We took the food home just to trash it. The server was very pleasant. I'm sorry this restaurant changed to basic cafeteria food with high prices. Plus it's dark and depressing now. read more

Really just kind of OK. The servings are small. The people are nice though. I suppose the prices aren't too bad.

We went here last Saturday. I had the Bourbon Pecan Salmon. It was unimpressive but the presentation was nice. The service was a little slow. The waiter took some time to check on us. He was pleasant. We ate out in their covered patio. It was very comfortable and inviting. I would go back to give them another chance. I believe this was just an off night. read more

This review is based on half price burger Sunday. I have only been here this one time. Juicy burger cooked to medium on a delicious bun. I asked for jalapeños and when they arrived they were FRESH and not pickled which I loved. Not only that, they even grilled them without me asking. Awesome! Service was great. Ill be back some Sunday soon! read more

Bistro 44 - New American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

"Bistro 44" -- the name brings to mind sophisticated culinary options, but the menu and the food are more in line with a diner than a bistro, although admittedly a diner with an pleasant and upscale dining room. It is a popular restaurant, especially with the over-65 set. The service was fine, and it was apparent watching the servers that they know some of the clientele quite well. Over the past three years I've been here perhaps three times, but the restaurant has failed to win me over as a fan during any of my visits, despite its close proximity to my home. Most recently, as part of my search for the great Tucson burger, we made a visit during their weekly "1/2 price burger Sunday". The hamburger patty itself had a decent flavor, but the overall sandwich was merely okay and not great. The fries were crispy, but cold. The search for a truly great burger continues. read more

We came for lunch on a Sunday and were not disappointed. We ordered shrimp scampi, steak Diane, sliders, and SW chicken wrap. All the food was well enjoyed. The restaurant is casual and upbeat. Service was good, no complaints. read more

Bistro 44 has been around for a while but I only recently had the opportunity to try it. Sunday nights special is 1/2 price burgers but they sure don't taste that way. The burger was cooked to perfection and delicious, fries were also tasty. I enjoyed the most delicious red blend wine. I'll need to make a second trip to try some of their other menu options. read more
