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!

Food - yum yum yum! The chicken was juicy, the Mac was cheesin, the curds was curdin', and the Voli (short for ravioli) was absolutely insane. And the banana foster was just superb (if you are taking it home, ice cream will melt in the box ) Drinks - the prosecco was a typical lil prosecco. But the old fashion was very good though. Ambiance - We went on a Sunday evening so it wasn't busy at ALL, but we had a fun seat in the booth- where we could see the kitchen, very very fun time!

The salmon with mushroom risotto was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The chicken pot pie was the best I've ever had. You can order ice cream at your table or on the way out. They have a seasonal pumpkin flavor which is delicious, but the OG oatmeal cookie dough is one of the best ice creams ever. Management is always present, so if you aren't satisfied, let them know and they will make it right. Our server disappeared, we thought she may have left, luckily manager Michael stopped by our table, or we would've sat abandoned for a long time.

We were the only ones in the restaurant on a hot Sunday afternoon in Tucson! My only small complaint was the fact that it was a tab bit warm - the temp. was set at 82 eek.

Here is what my son ordered: - Paella Del Mar (Seafood) We got the $28 which is good for 2 people. $98 is available for a larger group. I was so happy to find a paella where the yellow rice is fluffy versus one that is baked and burnt. My son pretty much ate it all himself. One of the staff members patted him on the back and said...hearty appetite you got there. Lol. - Galician Octopus (my son loved this dish) - Basque Sausage Stew with mixed greens, onions, tomatoes and large white beans that comes with a side of rice. I was all about that rice, I could just eat this and be happy. To end the meal we could not say no to their Old World Style "Burnt" Cheesecake. So yummy. Service was 100/10!!

After being seated I scanned the menu quickly and was disappointed that I couldn't find it. I asked the waiter and he said it was a seasonal item. Bummer. We had an early dinner reservation that day so I wanted to get something light. I decided on the Japanese Sweet Potato and my son got the 5 Points Burger. Everything was delicious with service to match so no complaints at all. We ended our meal with a Banana Date Tea Cake to give us that sugar rush to fuel our Colossal Cave Tour.

You can get a five dollar pitcher of beer shoot some pool play anything but Metallica on the jukebox and have a good time. This is one of those places I take anybody who visits Tucson because it is just such an important place. If you're from the area, we're just visiting. You owe it to yourself to visit one of the oldest dive bars in the country, even if the dive bars aren't your thing and you prefer a 9% hazy IPA with hint of citrus, take the night off get a pitcher of cheep beer and enjoy what a bar should be

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!
