    Salad niçoise with salmon
    Judy M.

    Not only is this place a nonprofit that is doing good things in the community, it is an outstanding restaurant! From the second we walked in, we were warmly greeted, and assisted with our order. We both ordered the salad niçoise, which was huge and tasty. The salmon was delicious, as was the dressing, which was a mustard vinaigrette, and complemented the other components. There were Kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced cold potatoes, green beans, and a hard boiled egg. I did manage to finish every bite. We were also offered a roll before our lunches came, which came warm and with butter on the side. We were checked on to make sure everything was okay. Someone even brought my water to me when I forgot my glass up front. I highly encourage checking this place out for lunch. Because they're not open for dinner.

    I came in here for a late lunch. I really like the relaxing vibes as I walked in. I ordered a California club on whole-grain with fruit. I chose a nice little corner of the restaurant, which was really nice because I got to look at all the artwork for sale. A waiter and a waitress brought me a rosemary roll with the option of butter or vinegar and oil while I waited for my food. This roll was to die for! I'm not just saying that because I was hungry. My sandwich was pretty good. I'll probably ask for lightly toasted but that's just my preference. The waiter was so kind to check on me. I was interested in getting a half dozen. He checked with the kitchen and they weren't able to because it was not close enough to closing. I can appreciate that they wanted to make sure they did not run out. He did let me know I could call in the morning and preorder. All in all 10/10!

    Water tasted like bleach. I won't even begin to describe the food because it does, in fact, get worse than drinking bleach.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our food quite a bit at Elliott's on Congress on a very wet and rainy night,…read morethis past November. I forgot which night it was now since we stayed in DT Tucson for Tour de Tucson from Thursday to Sunday. Oh, Actually I think it was a Saturday night because I remember wanting to go somewhere that had TVs that would show the Vegas F1 race. We got a table without reservation and they didn't have anything F1 on TV.. so we started just watching from our phone but then I noticed one of the main TVs above the bar started showing F1.. Now, I don't know if the servers of Elliott's were that observant and awesome or, they were already planning to show it once the race started... I choose to believe that our server was so awesome that she noticed we were watching F1 race on our tiny phone and put it on TV for us!! Honestly, just for that, 5 stars in my book. What also is a bonus is how good their food is. Sometimes you get nervous going to a local bar because food is not always good...though the people who run it and the place might be fun. However, you get all of the above at Elliott's. We ordered some mussels (cooked to perfection, not overcooked at all), pear salad, pineapple cider (delish), fish tacos, and steak. Everything was pleasantly yummy and the star was the mussels, which I did not expect to taste this fresh and delish, talking about setting low expectations and be pleasantly surprised! Overall, highly recommend. It did get darker and lots more busy and loud as we finished dinner and the Vegas F1 race finished. Def the place to bring people and friends to hang out and enjoy good food!

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!

Even during the busy lunch rush with what seemed like half the downtown office crowd grabbing lunch, the staff was incredibly attentive and everything moved surprisingly fast. I never felt rushed, but I was still able to get in and out with plenty of time to spare. I ordered the Chipotle Green Chile Cheeseburger, and it was phenomenal! The smash burger patties were perfectly cooked with a great sear, and the green chile had just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the burger. I especially loved the smoky chipotle flavor. It came with their house-made chips, which were fresh and really tasty. I also ordered a sweet tea that was delicious and paired perfectly with lunch. Before I left, I grabbed a bag of the Raptor Tracks from the bakery case. I forgot to take a picture, but they were so good. They reminded me of Nutella Muddy Buddies and disappeared way too quickly. Great food, fast service, and a perfect option if you're working or spending time downtown. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend the Chipotle Green Chile Cheeseburger!
