Roast beef with a side of home fries.
Tim W.

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.

Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
Mateo V.

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.

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!

Chicken Fried Chicken Lunch with cheesy eggs
Melissa E.

The best Chicken Fried Steak! The best customer service! The actual restaurant is small, mom n pop style it isn't the prettiest place but the food and service is great. One pancake is all you need for a family of 4 at least.

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.

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.

Polish sausage and eggs
Greg S.

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

Corned beef hash and 2 Eggs with Home Fries and Toast
Sandra B.

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.

2 Eggs and 2 Sausage Links
Brinny S.

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.

Is bobo's closed? Went today and was boarded up?

They are closed on Wednesday and Thursday. Other than that they are open for breakfast and lunch until 1 pm.

We drove by multiple times this week and it appears closed? Are we going to the wrong location? The address here on Yelp is the one we are using, is there perhaps a back entrance?

They're only open for breakfast and lunch. What hours have you stoped by? The entrance is in front facing Grant.

Every morning on my way to TMC, I stopped at Bono's for a quick breakfast. But they have not been open the last couple weeks. What's up?

The owners are on vacation for a few weeks

What is the most popular item ordered?

YUMMY! Their service is always great. Attentive and friendly servers. The ambiance is lovely as well- very welcoming, nicely decorated and a bright open space. The patio is quite large and dog friendly. One of the best brunch spots around- we look forward to coming back.

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.

The price point is the same (actually probably better), so you just get way more bang for your buck. Easy choice.

(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.

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.

We came during May, when it starts to get warm, but he did well since there is a good amount of shade out on their patio and they provided a nice big water bowl for our special boy. The staff also were kind enough to move one of our chairs out of the way so our dog had lots of room to lay down. Staff were all very kind and never seemed annoyed with the dog (you can always tell at a restaurant if they are, and they were very happy to accommodate him). Very dog friendly!! The food: We gotta talk about their French onion soup. It was pretty dang delicious! The broth itself is quite nice, a nice cheese portion, and the baguette was divine. I also had their French Connection sandwich (with a side of fries), and it had a great combo of ooey, gooey cheese, firm and flavorful ham, and served on a really delicious loaf. Really solid fries, too. We didn't end up getting any drinks but saw several people ordering yummy looking bites. If (but likely when) we come back to Tucson, I'm making a point to return to Cup Cafe!
