The food was delicious. We had a pancake, an apple pancake and a chocolate chip pancake. It is so cool that they are served in a pizza box...the kids were super impressed, and could only eat about half of their pancake. My wife and I had the chicken fried steak and the chicken fried chicken and they were excellent! They both had great flavor in the meat and the breading. My youngest had a bacon and cheese omelet, and she really liked it. The home fries are delicious. They lose two stars because when I got to our hotel (20 minutes away) I discovered that they had not included the bacon and sausage for 2 of my orders. My eggs over medium were definitely over hard (probably due to the long drive). Mad props that they poached eggs for my kids, though two of them were pretty much hard boiled (again probably the drive). read more

Great food! Great service! Will definitely coming back to eat next year when I return to Tucson.. but don't expect fancy.. it's not.. you can go with flip flops shorts and T and you'll fit right in read more

This is a hole in the wall kinda place obviously very popular with the locals. They have a nice diverse menu and the western omelette with country potatoes I ordered was very appetizing. My son had a veggie omelette that he added ground hamburger to and although he ate the whole thing didn't enjoy his meal experience enough to go again another day. I rather liked the place and would try something else another time. read more

A small, hole in the wall dining experience. Friendly & intensive staff. Came here to Tucson for an exam in the am; found this place on yelp and was intrigued to try. If I have failed my exam I'll be forced to come back here to indulge and repeat lol. jk if I ever come back to Tucson this will be first option for the morning! Chicken fried steak was 5/5 read more

Bobo's Restaurant - Chicken fried steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Was in Tucson for the weekend and wanted a cheap place for breakfast. We got way more than cheap. The place seems to always be packed for a good reason. The pancakes are huge and delicious much bigger than any place I have ever seen. They seem to be a signature for them because most people ordered the pancakes with good reason. We had many things on the menu and they were all great. It's very home style and if you sit at the bar you can see them cook everything which adds some entertainment to your morning. Next time I'm in Tucson for breakfast I am totally stopping here. If your love pancakes you have to stop by Bobos. read more

Fun place for breakfast; quite busy but staff was attentive and tables turned quickly. Pancakes are HUGE! Food was generally quite tasty, but unfortunately my blueberry banana pancake was not cooked in the middle. No worries, plenty to eat around the edges. Manager did offer to re cook it or remove from ticket. read more

Love this place. I take everyone who visits me here for breakfast. And there's always a wait. Which is fine and worth it.

pancakes were huge and absolutely amazing. the staff was kind and the vibe was nice, overall one of my favorite spots in town for breakfast

I absolutely love Bobo's they're service and food was amazing. It my new favorite spot in Tucson. The staff were so sweet and helpful. The food was delicious. Thank you so much read more

For the money I paid I wasn't thrilled. I got the Huevos Rancheros and which was two over easy eggs on top of some corn tortillas and pan fried potatoes with salsa. They used american cheese and cheddar and that really brought down the flavor. The salsa was the best part! It was a huge amount of food too! It was okay. I'll have to check the pricing again but I just don't think this is my style of place. read more

Don't let the exterior scare you away, the food and service are great and the prices are very reasonable. Omelette is a bit thin for my liking but the chicken fried steak and eggs were good and my son liked the Old English breakfast. Definitely a dive but better than the chains. read more

This place never disappoints! Their pancakes are ginormous and so tasty! I always get just the plain pancakes but they have a variety of others. This time I ordered the veggie omlet with egg whites and a piece of French toast. But I was able to try the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy and all were super tasty! This is not by any means a fancy place so if your looking for that, go elsewhere..but if you want Good old fashioned comfort food go to BoBo's! read more

We loved the atmosphere, even if the restaurant was small. The waitress's was awesome, a complete love. I had the spinach omelette with potatoes and my boyfriend had the western omelet with potatoes. My omelette was stuffed with spinach and cheese. I had to pull out some of the spinach because I'm not THAT healthy! We got two buttered up slices of sourdough and coffee, which was good, and enjoyed the music and family atmosphere. They have tables and also a bar, that had biker dudes on them talking to a group of young kids. It was a good breakfast. Nothing fancy, more like food at mom's. We ended up taking leftovers home. They have a good amount of parking, but it's really small in there, so go early! By 930 (Saturday), when we left, there were people waiting outside to go in. We liked it there and will be back! read more

You cant get a hometown restaurant that is better. Cool place to enjoy a meal that's affordable and delicious. read more

Hidden gem. So glad we stopped here. Passing through on vacation and so glad we came here. Outstanding customer service, never had to ask for refills and so friendly. Best pancakes ever. read more

I will keep this short and sweet. The food is outstanding!! Teresa is a magician on the grill. The end products are sublime!! I also have to say that every one of the employees is friendly, professional and attentive to the customers. Watching them execute the complicated ballet to make this very tight place work is amazing. 100% worth the wait to be seated. read more

This is my first review on Yelp. I felt it necessary to express my joy upon dining at Bobo's. I'm not a breakfast person in the slightest. But I have heard great things and let me tell... I was not disappointed. Long story short : We luckily were seated right away, service was prompt and excellent throughout, and the food was satisfaction in every sense of the word. The pancakes are huge. We opted for plain. They were light and fluffy for being thick. I had the omelette with 3 meats and cheddar topped with a home-style white gravy. It was probably the best omelette I have ever had in my life. It will definitely be a place myself and my family will frequent often. read more

I usually get the huevos rancheros. My opinion is this is the best breakfast place on the planet earth. I'd be surprised if the galaxy has any better breakfasts. Go there, you will like it. read more

I found this restaurant on Yelp because we were staying close by. What a gem! Not only is the service incredibly friendly, but the food is absolutely delicious. Our friends recommended the apple pancake, which was huge! We weren't able to finish the whole thing because of how big it was. My husband got an omelet with sour cream inside, don't remember the name but it was so delicious! Oh and let me not forget to mention how amazing their coffee is. I had three and a half cups and was wired for the day but it was so good I kept drinking my refills. Definitely in our bookmark for next time we are in this area. read more

Yummy chicken liver omelet...can't get it anywhere else in Tucson. And low, low prices too.

The most delicious pancakes I've ever eaten. Banana pancake with eggs, bacon and sausage was perfect and I ate the whole thing!

Apple pecan pancakes are amazing, crispy brown sugar on the outside tender delicious apples on the inside. As soon as you walk in the door the smell of bacon fills the air. Great food that is always excellent! One of the best breakfast ever, a Tucson MUST do. read more

You are able to sit anywhere you like. Service is prompt and friendly! Loved their coffee! Kid approved. Pancakes are definitely a shocker as to how big they are. Would def recommend this place to others. Great for breakfast and lunch. read more

WOW Amazing food. I can't wait to go back!!!! There is always line out the door trying to get in. There is a reason! trust me. This establishment puts quality in their food. I loved every bite.

I was in town for U of A orientation and wanted to find a good breakfast before we left town. Check yelp and this place rated high so we checked it out. Have to say the breakfast was delicious and the staff was also great. The location has that old school vibe that I remember as a kid going to breakfast with my parents. Highly recommend for read more

Take out was excellent staff always friendly one of my favorite tucson classics when it comes to getting breakfast on the go. Highly recommend the pancakes. The debit card sanitizer machine is awesome too read more

Who doesn't love a good juicy cheeseburger?!?! This place did not disappoint! Cant wait Ringo back and try their pancakes, which are about the size of your face! Great friendly service as well. read more

Bobo's is the best for me. There food is delicious and plenty is served, for leftovers. My BEST HERE is there biscuits and gravy so very delicious. Best gravy I've found in Tucson read more

What can be said about Bobo's...honestly,not much for the interior.It has your typical greasy spoon appearance and is really small.When we went they had most of the counter filled with supplies and someone working there,which took up some seating.We had a short wait and were greeted by a nice waitress.I had corn beef hash and two eggs and wheat toast,with potatoes.I was pleasantly surprised with the taste...it was excellent!The wife had similar,except with bacon and was also pleased with the food. read more

AMAZING food, great people working there! Owner just pitches right in with the staff. We didn't even know she was the owner until we were told because she just works so hard with the rest of the staff and blends right in. You will not leave hungry!!! Try the apple pancakes - they are unbelievable. Don't know why this place hasn't been on triple D yet!! The pictures are the apple pancake, chicken fried chicken, huevos rancheros, and that is only ONE biscuit and sausage gravy (can you imagine what 2 would look like???). Great food and LOTS of it! Nice, friendly, down-to-earth people with great service. Check it out! read more

Yes, it's true -- the pancakes are huuuge. The biggest I've ever seen, haha. But I like the small diner feel of it, the friendly staff are great, and the portions are beyond generous. I've driven past Bobo's during the weekend when the line is packed and was glad to be able to sneak in some time to go during the weekday for a later lunch so that there would be no wait (which I highly recommend if possible). All in all, a solid breakfast spot! read more

Beyond amazing pancakes! We got them to go and they came in a mini pizza box. Definitely recommend

Great prices, yummy food. We went on a friday morning around 8am and had about a 10 minute wait, the place was packed. read more

First time here and went because of good reviews on Yelp. Id say my experience here was okay. It is packed, parking lot was full and also inside was a bit noisy. Staff was very friendly though. Every 2 min or so I was offered refill on my water and coffee. I really really liked the huge buttermilk pancakes and my daughters loved sharing the short stack. I also tried biscuits with gravy which was okay. Within a few minutes sitting on table the biscuits with gravy turned cold because the air was blowing straight at our table so maybe I could have said it was good. Also got eggs, bacon and sausage links which were good but nothing special. I might consider to go back but because of the delicious huge pancakes. read more

This is where you need to take your family when they visit, your first morning date with a new fling, and honestly you need to take yourself here solo one day and just enjoy the classic diner atmosphere for what it is. A Tucson institution, and their breakfast sandwich is worth its weight in gold. read more

I've been here several times and have had both the apple and the banana pancakes. I must say, to my surprise, the apple pancake with whipped cream topping is the best. Where else can you order a giant pancake, potatoes and bacon for less than $10? I highly recommend Bobo's and always pay a visit whenever possible. read more

Bobo's Restaurant - All less than $10! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This was another of Alan's finds, ferreted out this morning while I was sleeping. It is old school and delicious, crowded w/ a short wait on a Friday just after 11:00. There are a couple of benches outside for the wait, which is probably very long on weekend mornings. The crowd was diverse and friendly. Tables are formica and chairs look like 50s dining room chairs. There are stools at the counter which are cushioned and have backs. We were seated at a table against the wall. Menus were on the table, as were white pottery cups and flatware wrapped in paper napkins. The coffee pourer was present and efficient. Tea selection is limited to black and green. I had black. Sweeteners are pink or blue. I have learned not to order biscuits and gravy and so I didn't, but Alan ordered one for the taste, along w/ two scrambled eggs, home fries and toast along w/ coffee, which was refilled regularly. I decided to have a blueberry pancake w/ pecans. The pancake was enormous, completely covering an oval plate. I gave Alan about 1/3 of it in multiple bites and was still full. I had an order of sausage on the side and it was good. I had a bite of the biscuits and gravy and was glad I hadn't ordered it for myself. Alan ended up leaving most of his eggs and potatoes as he concentrated on my pancake. Service was friendly and good and the bill for all that food was less than $20. Great find. read more

Had a rough weekend? Need a great sunday morning breakfast with a pancake the size of the sun? This is the place. Show up in your pajamas with a couple of friends and enjoy the best pancake (yes, you only need one) in all of Tucson. My personal favorite is the apple and my roommates is chocolate chip. Whatever you like, they've got it. Doesn't hurt that everything is relatively inexpensive! Not a pancake person? Grab some coffee, eggs, and potatoes in generous portions! The service is always friendly and really down to earth. They are used to serving the college crowd. The tiny diner is running at maximum efficiency every time I'm there with every booth and bar seat filled and all cooks on deck, so plan on waiting at least 30 minutes on a busy weekend morning. But it is definitely worth it if you've got the time and appetite, Bobo's is my favorite breakfast joint in all of Tucson. read more

Good if you want a quick breakfast. The restaurant is small, gets loud and feels crowded. The service is fast. Apart from the possible wait to get a table, the waitress takes your order as soon as you're ready and the food comes out quickly. They have a separate woman making rounds, refilling water glasses and coffee mugs. My water glass never fell below the 3/4 mark. They have eggs, meats (ham, bacon, sausage, etc) and pancakes. The pancakes are huge and thick. For lunch they have a few sandwiches and burgers. There are more things on the menu, but not too much more. The whole menu is only one page, double sided and laminated. The food doesn't taste amazing, but it's cheap. My apple pancake was $3.50 and my two eggs were .95 each. Coffee is 1.50. I wouldn't wake up early to make it here before closing (closes at 2pm), but if this place were on my way and I was hungry and feeling poor I would come here. read more
