    I've driven past this place many times not even knowing that they were there. I'm so glad a friend recommended going here. The drinks are amazing. The food is even better. Looking forward to returning with more friends for a great food and excellent drinks. All the bartenders and servers were amazing. The food portions are enormous enough for two to share & the drinks are equally the same Nice little spot just to hang out. Have fun eat & drink, and have a great timep

    Big appetite? This is definitely the right place. And delicious and tasty. The service was amazing. Sat down, served us our drinks, took our order. Appetizers were served. Followed by food. Food was fresh, and delicious. Big portions. And very flavorful. Big appetite, then most definitely recommend, or take leftovers home.

    The food was good and hot. The service is prompt. The restaurant is like 1960's retro.

    Half order Who's Your Daddy hoagie and side salad, ranch dressing.

    I got kind of weird vibes from this place but it came highly recommend by my boyfriend who used to come here all the time when it was located on 4th avenue. I think they moved for a larger location but it's definitely more out of the way than it used to be. We arrived at about 6pm on Wednesday evening and the bar was fairly busy but the restaurant side was practically empty. I think there was one other couple and that's it. Service was prompt but the waiter seemed like he was stoned. Again weird vibes from him too. I got the half order of the Who's Your Daddy hoagie sandwich and a side salad with ranch. The hoagie was a bit dry (not enough mayo) and it was cold towards the bottom even though it's supposed to be served hot. The cheese on top was not melted all the way. The side salad and ranch were very tasty. Bonus points for what seemed like house made crutons. Overall it wasn't amazing but it wasn't horrible either. Just your typical place for American style food. With so many other options in the area I don't know if I will come back anytime soon.

    Fruit Cocktail

    Margaret was the best ever waitress ever. Funny, attentive, had a great conversation. No stars of the show. Portions are HUGE!! The food and the drinks are marvelous!! The Fruit Cocktail Drink has real fruit in it. You can tell it has been infused for awhile. The Bloody Mary has the Hot and Sticky Sauce which also comes as a sauce for the Chicken Fried Meatloaf. Incredible. The meatloaf is the absolute best and next level when its chicken fried. The wings were cooked well. Wish they were seasoned prior or after they came our the fryer. You are only viewing half a sandwich in each sandwich photo. The music is a blend of 60's and 70's some 80's. It was definitely a vibe..a good vibe. Check out their menu here. Don't know why I have not checked out this place sooner. https://www.bumstedsaz.com/food

    Visited Bumsteds after attending some near by gem shows. Ordered the Mac Daddy and it was sooooo good. Highly recommend 10/10. Staff were super friendly and the restaurant is nice.

    Bad Attitude Chicken Fried Meatloaf Sandwich and Sweet Potato Fries
    Sarah F.

    Love that I finally tried this Tucson hidden gem! The diner in the front is super cute and the staff was helpful and attentive. I tried their famous meatloaf and opted for the chicken fried version of the Bad Attitude and it was tasty - the mushrooms were cooked perfectly and the meatloaf was delicious. The only thing that would have made it better was a bit more horseradish mayo. The Styx pretzels are AMAZING I loved the cheese sauce (didn't try the gravy because I'm not a gravy fan). Lots of parking in the back and a cute bar on the other side of the building if you want to grab a drink. Will be back again to keep trying new stuff from their gigantic menu!

    Today I experienced the most delicious sandwich that I have ever eaten! Bumsted's menu is extensive, and you need to read the sandwich descriptions because every sandwich has an intriguing name. My choice today was "Anything for Love": a thick hunk of incredible meatloaf on a choice of bread (I chose marbled rye) with a mouthwatering sauce and caramelized onions, with a generous side dish. (I had the sweet potato fries.) This was washed down with a huge glass of tropical rum punch with 5 or 6 kinds of fruit including pineapple and lychee nuts... practically a meal in itself! My husband had a ginormous club sandwich on sourdough which he thoroughly enjoyed. Neither of us had room for dessert, but maybe next time, as the desserts sound pretty amazing. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other sandwiches since they all sound good. Our waitress April was charming and very accommodating. We ate in the bar area as the main dining room was closed at lunchtime, but I took a peek through the window and it has a classic retro coffee shop vibe. Maybe we'll go back when they're having karaoke, but we will definitely be back for the food which I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

    This place was recommended by my husband's employee. Her family loved it, so we got curious, cause my husband was intrigued by the menu, the food combination is different. We went on a Saturday morning it just opened and place is practically empty. Server was not friendly and accommodating. She was working by herself and you can see the table and chairs are dirty. Restaurants should not have traces of food from the previous night or day of service, if staff is really doing their job. There's a lot of downtime for cleaning, for they are not busy. Anyway, the food is okay, but not as great. Although they give you a huge portion. Drinking cups and utensils doesn't look as clean. I don't know if I will be coming back to this place. If out of curiosity people will come and try this place out, it may or may not work for them. Food is okay, don't get me wrong.

    Super cute bar!

    Very cute little place I didn't expect it to be so aesthetic! The service was really great during the time we went the food just wasn't my personal favorite definitely a preference so nothing bad to say. Good fries though! If you want bar food and a cute diner this is a good spot!

    I came to Bumbsted and arrived on the dinner side which had a fun dinner vibe however wasn't quite the most hospitable. As we were informed of the bar side we immediately were intrigued. The other side felt more our vibe and the bartender had a fun engaging personality that kept me on my toes. Food was tasty as the burger was a solid 8/10 however the fries were to rave home about. If you follow them on social media you get 10% off! I would definitely recommend if conveniently in the area.

Its Boxyard name comes from the various shipping containers that make up most of the buildings inside. It reminded me of Container Park in Las Vegas and similar places in Downtown Austin. I'm very excited that Tucson has a place like this now too!! We were there on a Saturday night, so it was very crowded with a DJ playing in the back, yet it was still open and spacious enough to have plenty of breathing room. I also loved how there's more than one bar for grabbing drinks at and a few food options - we got a couple of smash burgers from Daddyburger inside and they were GREAT!! Took a little while to be ready but it was a busy Saturday night, so understandable. Definitely make sure to add the arugula and pickles to it - loved the extra textures and crunch. The burger hit the spot and the fries were solid McDonald's type fries. Other food options inside included a Mexican food/burrito spot with several vegan options and also a sandwiches/snacks thing! We ended up just eating, drinking, and dancing to the music the whole night there. It was a blast!! It also looked like a great spot for just hanging out or getting some food whenever during the day or the week. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!
