Boy I think I must have eaten in the alternate reality Bobo's. Our meal was pretty awful. The poached eggs were over cooked the bacon not crisp and the home fries were large chunks of mushy potatoes. Pretty awful. I gave two stars because the servers and other people were great but the food left a lot to be desired. read more

Man this place is amazing! My husband and I came just to eat some breakfast but honestly all I want to do now is go back to bed. I loved their smothered biscuits and gravy, and our waiter Donovan was amazing. They're sweet, kind, and caring people. It really is a mom and pop type of place. If you're trying to eat empty calories this is definitely not the place for you. But if you're trying to enjoy a good hearty breakfast this is YOUR PLACE. PS Their pancakes are bigger then my face! read more

The best place for cheap breakfast! You MUST order a pancake (only one thought because they are humongous). I like the blueberry one or the banana one. This place serves up traditional diner breakfast food, except that their pancakes ROCK, and I normally hate pancakes at places like ihop. read more

I have heard about Bobo's for over a year now, and I just got around to trying it. I was missing out. The servings are massive, the prices are low, and the servers are so sweet. It reminded me of the diners in NJ that I miss constantly. The food was very good. The biscuits were good and a generous serving but the gravy wasn't the best I every had. Other items such as pancakes and eggs. The food came out super quick too. I am definitely a fan. read more

Busy place. Typical greasy spoon. Get the biscuits and gravy. Everything else is okay.

I might as well buy as "I love Bobo's" shirt because I have drank the metaphorical Kool-Aid and I'm sold on this place. I will say this, this place is TINY so expect a LONG wait and also expect to be possibly seated together with other parties' community style. The coffee okay, but you don't come here for the coffee or for the eggs or anything else trivial; you come here for the PANCAKES! My favorite was the Banana ones- get them and you will thank me! Side note: these aren't your traditional round pancakes and they will look a little rough but believe me the flavor is legit. Oh great now I want breakfast... read more

A sparkling treasure nestled in the dust just west of Grant & Country Club! Friendly little diner with fantastic service. This place runes like a well oiled machine! I had a banana chocolate chip pancake that could have fed 3 starving children. Never saw a glimpse of the bottom of my coffee - now that deserves a couple stars in its own right. Get here before 8 AM for two eggs, potatoes and toast for only $1.99! Just found a new GO-TO in Tucson! read more

Bobo's is a great hole in the wall breakfast joint for someone looking for a cheap meal. Everything is under 7 bucks and you get ALOT of food. Its not the nicest or cleanest restaurant I have ever been in but for those early morning munchies it is definitely the joint for a college budget. I would recommend their french toast, biscuits and gravy, or daily special. For a college student this is the best breakfast in Tucson (way better than the good egg). I love it! read more

Don't let the appearance fool you. This will be the best breakfast you'll have since leaving home. It's busy, get in and feast your face.

A local favorite! Why did it take me so long to come here! Sure there can be a wait to be seated, but that just means you can put your iPhone in your pocket and actually talk to your friends you came with. No friends? Well invite someone to eat with you next time. They'll be your friend after they try those home fries and the delicious LARGE pancakes nom nom nom... read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants in town and I recommend it to everyone. The food is so good. Greasy-spoon style, hole in the wall diner. Huge portins, great fast service, and great prices. Fun gritty diner atmosphere and even though it's crowded and there is a line to get in, the wait is never long. Plus it's worth it! This was a staple of my diet when I was pregnant. read more

Went here with my mom for the first time a couple of weeks ago for breakfast. The place is very small and looks like a dive from the outside, but don't let the appearance fool you. This is a well known restaurant in Tucson that serves up great breakfasts. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs. It was great. Right size and lots of food for a low price. The coffee was great, and we were treated like family once we were inside. My mom ordered the apple pancakes, which were great. Next time I may order the pancakes. The only complaint I have is the wait. They combined a large table of around 10 people prior to us being seated and this made us wait a long time for a table for 2, since everyone had to wait for them to leave. If you have the time, try it out, or maybe go during the week, instead of a weekend? Overall great food and will come back again. read more

Thanks to all you Yelpers' great reviews of this place, I tried Bobo's for breakfast today. To think I may have never given it a shot! I found your specific recommendations extremely useful, and marked your reviews accordingly. I'll add my thumbs up to the banana pancake: we got one for the table to share it it is every bit as special as y'all claimed. Also, I agree that the biscuits and gravy are amazing, or if you want fewer carbs, do as I did and have the country gravy added to an omelet. Seriously good food here, and though it is hearty as all heck, nothing seemed overly greasy. Thanks, Yelp! read more

I like this little restaurant. There is a cozy feel to the place. You can see the cook making the food right there close by.

Oh, Bobo's...I can see how this place is a Tucson favorite. I went on a late Saturday morning, approximately 11am, and this place was jam-packed full of people. The wait staff isn't exactly what I would consider "friendly", but the food and the price make up for the service. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were HUGE...like, bring home in a takehome box huge. Another guest I was with had biscuits and gravy...four biscuits literally swimming in gravy...she took hers home as well. I'd definitely recommend this place, have high expectations for great food, but leave your expectation for great service at the door. read more

You are not afraid of REAL diner, open kitchens where you see everything and alittle bit slower than normal service, try Bobo's out. Warning: any Saturday and Sunday you will have to wait outside for a seat for up to 20 min. Their signature pancakes are large enough to share. If you want the most out of the ordinary item on the menu, and a super tasty one, order the Ruben omelette. They don't bake their own bread and the coffee is standard diner quality, but if you want a hustling spot that is a good greasy spoon to spend less than $10 bucks on breakfast, try this place out. read more

6 years away from Tucson, and this is the first place I recommend anyone go when they visit here. Finally came back for a vacation and this was the first place I stopped for food. These apple pancakes are the best pancakes you will ever have. I feel I've done enough travelling to say, these are the best in the world. read more

I've been coming here for a long time and it is a breakfast tradition for my friends and I. Over the past couple of years this place has gotten increasing more crowded and has a UofA student following. Both well deserved. The Pancakes are huge and amazing. Don't order a short stack if it's your first time, stick with 1 and take it from there. If I don't get cakes I order the chicken fried steak which is very good as well. read more

Cinnamon apple pancake wow crisp sweet crunchy chewy deelish yes please chocolate chip pancake good to we all shared I had the poached soft eggs w grilled ham eng muffin sliced tomatoes so good fresh very good joint here love the servers too our little guys bday today they all sang happy bday it was great so sweet love Bobo's read more

Great service! Small but quick service. Real blueberries???? Yum!

Every once in a while you run across a gem of a place by which all others all measured. For breakfast in Tucson, Bobo's was it. Incredible banana pancake. Basic eggs and bacon breakfast was really cooked to perfection. Cottage potatoes were that hard to manage crisp but not burned that dreams are made of. Bacon was also done just right. Service was great each server took the time to top off everyone's coffee regardless of if it was their table or not. I appreciate that kind of teamwork. It was busy, crazy busy and we still were seated in less than 20 mins. Food was about 10 mins from order time and well worth the wait. read more

5/5 for greasy spoon food. Easy quick and good, this place isn't trying to be gourmet. I had a Reuben. True to form, thrown on the griddle, it was sloppy and tasty. Lunch was served with fresh, crispy home-made tasting fries. The fam all had breakfast. Coffee and refills kept coming; everybody who worked there was joking and smiling. Really top notch service, and considering this place was packed to the brim that's really saying something! read more

Their home fries are SO fresh and SO delicious, the pancakes are the size of two adult heads, this place is definitely a must try in Tucson.

This is easily one of dirtiest places ive ever been in. I'm really curious the last time they have ever cleaned near their stove top. Or anywhere in this building really... kinda scary. Not sure how they pass the health dept inspection. First and last time. Server was friendly. You get 2 stars for that alone. read more

I came with my husband to order to go food on Father's Day and was refused service. Very disappointed dad. We will not be patrons at this establishment any further. read more

Traditional breakfast. Nothing fancy. Alright food. Gigantic pancakes! Service mehhh. I mean it's a tight small place and busy so I can see where the servers may seems a little stressed and short with you. Busy ! Always a wait ! read more

We have been eating here once a week for about two years. Cheap food, awesome atmosphere, friendly service. For delicious, no frills breakfast you can't beat it. read more

I thought I had tried every greasy spoon breakfast place in Tucson, but somehow Bobo's had slid under the radar. Never again! You know a place is good when the parking lot is full before 7am. Luckily we were able to grab a small table in the back (which is pretty close to the front of this really small place), and were waited on promptly by a helpful lady who tried to talk me out of ordering 2 of the blueberry pecan pancakes. Not because I wouldn't like them, but because they are big! I didn't believe her, and that is how I ended up taking pancakes home in a to go container. They were delicious, but humungous! My husband had the corned beef hash and loved it. Bobo's is a no-frills restaurant, with friendly staff and excellent food. We will be back! read more

You'll get a solid breakfast here! So much better than Jerry Bob's or chains around town! The pancakes are giant, as others have pointed out here, so don't order more than one, seriously! read more

Get the French Toast. Your mouth will thank you. Totally worth the wait. I don't care if it's an hour in heat or cold, I will wait for a table. Every. Single. Time. read more

Massive portions, delicious pancakes, incredible eggs...Bobo's is worth the wait. It might be cramped, the service might be brisk, but the food is outstanding. read more

Good food and friendly service, food plates are big enough to share. Yummy banana pancakes. Make sure you're not in a hurry because there is a little bit of a wait to be seated. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Absolutely delicious biscuits and gravy! Such a great value for the amount of food you get. I was shocked when the bill arrived (in a good way!). The place itself is very small and though my friend and I were lucky enough to get a booth, it seemed like the table seating was really cramped. But overall, would definitely recommend! read more

This place is great! Friendly staff, delicious food and fair prices. Bobo even waited on us. Go here and enjoy :)

Food is good, pancakes are great. The best thing about this breakfast joint is the environment. The owner is always working hard, often on the griddle and egg station from what I've seen. She creates a fun environment, they work as a team, and her employees clearly love coming to work. That, and being a local business go a very long way in my book. read more

I always come in for breakfast(eggs, omelettes, toast, coffee, etc) at Bobo's restaurant but today that took a twist. Since all the tables were already occupied I was offered to sit by the kitchen bar, which I accepted. In doing so I had a close up to the dishes of what was being ordered, and it caught my attetion, that bread on an obvious burger. I asked my coffee server what that was at the end of the bar which was three burgers of the same kind, he replied the Bobos Bacon Burger, and bam! that is what I was about to order. For $6.99 the burger was prepared and served in about a 5 minute wait time. The plate I ordered came with home fries and the top burger bun over my toppings of pickles, a big fat tomato slice, lettuce, and white onion. I placed it all on top of the burger with melted cheese and placed the bun over it, I did leave the onions out, that is just me. And I devoured its goodness and full taste of a home cooked burger patty, just like if it was cooked on a foreman grill at home, and I love foreman grills. I was not small or too tall, it was a perfect full meal size with no more room for more coffee, and I still have not had breakfast this morning, hence it was the reason I came in here at noon. 5 stars and highly recommended, so shut up and eat a Bobo's Bacon Burger. read more

The absolute best diner in Tucson. If you're eating anywhere else please stop and head there immediately please for both our sakes. This is not a joke. It may seem comical but this is no laughing matter. This is your life we're almost about. Fill it it only with the greatest things and therefore fill it with Bobo's. Thank you for your time. read more

Best French toast in the business. There was this crunchy cinnamon sugar crust on top that really set it apart from the rest of the crowd. The staff was very personable and the joint really gave off that home cooked feel. The serving sizes were off the chain and stuffed my lady and I beyond reason. read more

From the outside Bobo's looks like a little Mom and Pops diner you would find in the South and once you get inside the ambiance doesn't change. The staff provides excellent and friendly service even if they do look like they just got hired from off the streets. I've only been to Bobo's for breakfast and it is excellent. I've had the Huevos Rancheros and the Biscuits and Gravy and they are delish. I definitely recommend Bobo's for breakfast especially if you are on the adventurous side. If you go on the weekend be prepared to wait because this place is always packed for breakfast. read more

Ah, the pancakes! The oddest, best pancake I've had. I tend to be picky at breakfast restaurants because I can't decide whether I want as sweet or savory meal, but I'd eat these pancakes any day. I got the banana pancake that doesn't look like an traditional one: it's oval-ish and the size of the entire plate. So, one pancake is more than enough. It was fluffy with gooey banana pieces in it and really good! The ambiance was typical greasy diner filled with happy people and it was an all-around pleasant experience. read more
