Just following up as sometimes, time is not kind as a business moves through generations. Bobos is not that place. Since I firat came here in the early early 90's, to the first grandkid...and now 2 more. Everything about Bobos has remained consistent and great! This is the only place I tell everyone about from out of town when they come for a visit There is no place across the country that had my beloved Flying Saucer. It's a good thing cause it keeps me coming back! read more

If you're in Tucson and craving that no-nonsense, feel-good, classic breakfast, Bobo's is basically a rite of passage. This spot is old-school in the best way; nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just straightforward comfort food that hits the morning reset button. They've got all the breakfast staples covered, but their pancakes? Those come with a twist. Think fluffy, oversized, and just quirky enough to stand out. Prices are refreshingly affordable, portions are exactly what you'd hope for (big enough to hold you over. Only catch? The place is small. Bobo's is one of Tucson's classics for a reason. Great breakfast, fun twists, friendly people, and prices that won't hurt your feelings. read more

I heard and read about Bobo's Restaurant on Grant Avenue Tucson, AZ. It was highly recommended. It is not a real fancy restaurant but the food was delicious. My wife had a special which included a large blueberry pancake, one egg, one sausage and a piece of bacon for $7.99. Yes, that is not a misprint. I was wondering how she liked her special. Well, she devoured everything which tells me what she thought. I had a roast beef sandwich with tomato, lettuce, cheese on sourdough bread and it hit the spot. Many items on the menu. Check it out. The service was very good. Friendly. As we were checking out, I asked when they opened. 5:30AM-1:00PM. They are closed on Wednesday and Thursday. Always busy. Parking is tight. Credit cards accepted. read more

If you're looking for fancy, keep driving. But if you want a classic greasy spoon that smells like sizzling sausage and burnt coffee in the best possible way -- this is it. The biscuits and gravy are unapologetically creamy, the sausage does its job (greasy, salty, no notes), and the whole thing feels like a warm hug from your slightly chaotic favorite aunt. Service is quick and friendly, coffee refills come without asking, and you leave feeling like you made a good life choice for under $15. Nothing mind-blowing, but it hits that simple, satisfying spot perfectly. read more

One of our Tucson breakfast favorites. The wait can be long on the weekends so go early or after the morning rush to avoid the wait. This place really has the nostalgic diner feel and is always full of locals. The pancakes are MASSIVE and worth the wait every time. We've tried a number of omelets and the the items that come with sausage gravy, all good! read more

Bobo's Restaurant - Biscuit and Biscuits with Sausage Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Another on my search for the best biscuits and gravy, with a side of chicken fried steak. This is another down home diner vibe. I had originally given a 3, but service was fantastic. As for the food. The biscuit was dense and thin and maybe a day old. The gravy had obvious sausage and seasoning so it was decent, but I would not get them again. The home fries were obviously precooked and then reheated, but since they cooked them all the way the first time they came out dry and well over cooked. The pancake was dice, but definitely not the best in town however it was loaded with whatever you ask to have added, so they don't skimp. the eggs were tasty. The chicken fried steak was probably the best I've ever had in Tucson. Very well seasoned and the breading stuck and was the right amount of crispy and tasty. Not sure I'd brave the crowds again, but not bad. read more

Stopped in for breakfast before a long drive and ordered the Huevos Rancheros. Absolutely nailed it. Perfectly cooked eggs, rich sauce with real chile flavor (not watered down), and a plate that actually fills you up. This is the kind of breakfast that sets your whole day straight. Service was fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming--no rush, no attitude, just pros who know what they're doing. You can tell this place has been doing it right for a long time. If you want a real Tucson breakfast, skip the trendy brunch nonsense and come here. Worth going out of your way for. read more

Delicious home cooked food and excellent service. Didn't realize they had dirt parking in the back of the restaurant which was convenient. They do have an understandable egg charge right now. The banana chocolate chip pancake was incredible. Not too thick, the banana were caramelized and just the right ratio of chocolate chips. Their staff were attentive and helpful. read more

Great breakfast! Servers were pleasant and fast. The food was delicious. Eggs cooked perfectly, as were the buscuits and gravy. The fried potatoes also perfect. Totally recommend this place. Not a large place, but it was nearly full the entire time we were there. It is an older establishment which is also apparent. read more

I love this place. Best crispy, tender, tasty chicken fried steak and gravy. Layered over the best home fries, chunky but throughly cooked with just the right amount of crispy edges. Perfectly cooked eggs. Superior service, huge kudos to the young man assisting the servers with genuine love and happiness. I also love that the local regulars share kindness and courtesy to strangers/non locals. We went early today and got seated immediately. But, normally you can expect to wait a bit, but oh so worth it. read more

We tried based on a friends recommendation and we're extremely happy. Don't let the exterior or location scare you away! Our food was served hot and wrasses as good as it looked. Friendly staff and reasonable prices too read more

Got a pancake, sausage, bacon scramble egg and fruit for the kid. Huevos ranchers for myself. My impression was this was affordable breakfast that lacked quality. I've definitely had better huevos. There was too much cheese. The egg was a bit too runny for sunny side up. You can tell the quality of ingredients was mediocre. The pancake was large and fluffy but didn't make me want to come back. Ambiance was what you expect out of a diners. Service was average and consisted if get your order and not come back to check on you. read more

When I lived up there I'd drive a good way to get food from here. They were always polite and efficient. Service was fast and the food was excellent. Not a place to sit and eat and during pandemic it was outside only but for a take out place it's awesome. read more

We had breakfast here. Food was awesome and the service made us feel right at home. The corned beef was some of the best I've had. Service was great. Had servers checking in with us fairly often to make sure everything was okay. Prices are very reasonable. Wish we had discovered this place sooner. read more

Incredibly good breakfast! Biscuits and gravy; excellent! Pancake topped with apple; outstanding! The pancake is the size of a trash can lid! My wife and I split one and we're both full. Great neighborhood flavor and stellar service. Be prepared to wait outside a bit, unless you get there around 10:00A. read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm glad I finally got the chance to. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, always filling up my water when it got low. I ordered 2 scrambled eggs with 2 sausage links and 2 pieces of bacon, which all was very basic and nothing special. I also got the banana pancake, wish was huge and very tasty. It had banana slices in it with caramelized brown sugar chunks, which made for a great overall pancake!! I was super happy with the sweet portion of my meal and ready to give this place 4 stars, but unfortunately, the cleanliness was not up to par. There was a dead cockroach under my table (which I didn't notice until the end of my meal), and that is not acceptable for a dining establishment. So while they have really great pancakes, it seems like they are really lacking on hygiene, and that is the reason for my 2-star rating. read more

Tasty Bobo's! Stopped at Bobo's Restaurant and Coffee House for a late breakfast because of the reviews. All the wait staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was quick. Omelette's were packed with tasty ingredients. Toast was not soggy. Potatoes were out of this world. Have no ideas what magic they used to make the potatoes so tasty. Overall a very yummy and satisfying meal. read more

A regular Mom and Pop breakfast place. We just got lucky that we beat the crowd. We were seated right away. But a few minutes after getting a table the line got longer. Place is not fancy, I think the owner's idea was just to serve decent food to their customers, and it seemed to be working. People do come here and seemed to enjoy what this place offer. Staff is friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my Chicken Fried Steak and coffee. And took a piece of cinnamon roll to go. read more

This is an old fashioned greasy spoon lunch/breakfast place. I had the Old English omelette and it was deliciously greasy and hit the spot. The place is full of regulars but we were treated like family. The server was friendly and the coffee cup water glasses were never far from full. The ambience was delightfully downscale. We went early on a Monday and were seated right away. But their incredibly large parking lot speaks to the popularity of this place during peak times so be prepared to wait. read more

Great diner. I remember coming here as a youngster from Phoenix for the giant sweet pancakes . One time, as I was devouring a plateful of pancakes, the staff brought out a giant sheet cake to celebrate a cooks bday. They passed out enormous pieces for all the patrons and that was the best day of my young life. Years later I still try to make it to Bobo's whenever I visit with my family. read more

It is my first time here, The food here is great especially the chicken fried chicken lots of flavor and crunchy, I loved the home style potato's they serve, it is full of flavor. The service was good and attentive! It is a bit loud and crowded inside but it's a friendly environment. The only thing that I did not like was the omelette, I had the bobos special but it is just too watery inside for me and the egg was very thin, and lacks flavor. but overall my experience here was great. read more

I came here with my friend before her flight back home and the line was long! They have a system where you write your name and party number on a piece of paper right next to the register. We stayed because we heard the food was good, and they weren't wrong! The line moved surprisingly fast and staff were very friendly! I ordered the huevo rancheros and it was so so good! They add a good amount of cheese because it was very cheesy (i'm not complaining) and the egg were cooked perfectly! Potatoes were cooked well and the meal altogether was delicious! read more

Food and service were great! Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot with a "mom and pop" home cooked feel!

Food, service, ambiance all 10/10. You can taste the quality of the food and how well it is. Hands down the best chicken fried steak, potatoes, and biscuits and gravy (I switched the toast for biscuits and gravy) I've EVER had. The home feeling you get from this place makes you wanna kiss the chef like you would your momma. read more

My hubs and I had breakfast here this AM and this is definitely not a place to be judged by its cover. It's old, it's rough looking, it's tiny... but it is delicious! It's a place for locals for sure... lots of hugs from servers to customers. We waited about 15 min (arrived around 830a) and the live just kept growing. We ordered an apple pancake and a chocolate chip pancake plus two orders of bacon (one would have been enough). These aren't everyday pancakes... they take awhile to cook, and they are the size of manhole covers. The chocolate chips were plentiful and had a nice dusting of powdered sugar. The apple needed no syrup and the apples somehow formed this caramelized gooeyness... just delicious! We managed to eat it all without feeling grossly stuffed, and I can with confidence say we were not hungry until 5p. This is a great place! read more

The biscuits and gravy were as awesome as I'd hoped they'd be. Service was super fast and efficient. It is a SMALL diner. Nothing to be concerned about, just be prepared for a brief wait before you walk in as they are hustling to get people in and out as efficiently as possible without sacrificing quality or the overall experience. read more

Went to breakfast here on a Saturday, so it was pretty busy. The service was quick and friendly; everyone had smiles on their faces. Feels and probably is a family run business; it's a nice change to the chains. Food came out quick and tastes homemade. They also give good portion sizes so you leave FULL. The place is nothing fancy inside when it comes to decor, but I'm here for the food anyway. I'd recommend stopping for breakfast/brunch! read more

Was nervous upon pulling up to the establishment, it doesn't look like much; but the FOOD. Everything was amazing, specifically the pancakes & the home fries. Definitely get the sausage patty over the sausage links. Corned beef hash was a hit. Classic old school style diner feel, fast & efficient service. They never let your coffee get too low or cold. When we find ourselves down from Phx again, we will definitely be coming back. read more

Yelpers told us to come to Bobo's and we're glad we finally made the trip. I understand its very crowded, but on a Wednesday at 11, we had no issues. I had the egg sandwich. Two cheeses lettuce tomato with some of the best hash browns around anywhere; on the side. Son had pancake (see the pic) and eggs & meat. He didn't finish the pancake and they gave us a small pizza box to take it home in. Hilarious! My egg sandwich was delivered late, the server caught the fact it had mayo when i said no mayo. She had it remade. Excellent catch, thank you! Of course....we are now fans. read more

This is a down home, family-style small and great breakfast place. A long time local hangout. If you have hankering for pancakes as big as your head... or my head for that matter, and like endless cups of coffee delivered by smiling servers... This is your place! We had so much fun and food here. No line to wait in... but we were told by our local friends that is usually NOT the case. Beginner's Luck! There is a counter and booths. Be happy if you do wait, you'll get a good meal at a good price. Go ahead and splurge add blueberries to your pancakes, that's extra delicious. read more

One of the best diners in Tucson! The service is quick and attentive. Be prepared to wait on a busy weekend as this place attracts quite a crowd. There's only limited tables inside, but this creates a cozy atmosphere. The cooks make the food hot and fresh. If you're only able to get one item, you must get the apple crisp pancake! read more

Top notch food and service! A few back I got taken there for my birthday breakfast. My daughter asked, in secret, if they could put a candle in my corned beef hash and eggs. No problem, she was assured. When my breakfast arrived the entire place, crew and guests, sang Happy Birthday! I shed a tear! read more
