We've been coming to Ermanos since 2021. We were happy to hear they made some slight menu changes. LOVE THE NEW MENU. Slight subtle changes to the interior as well. Food- Great double smash burger- best for us so far. Hand patted burgers- for real. The fries are lightly topped with an herbal blend, and that is fabulous. We always have a great time here. The staff is cool and the bar staff is some of the best in town, most have been their many moons. Highly recommend Ermanos. read more

Great local place for food and drinks. The appetizer was excellent, barrio bread and whipped butter. The burger was cooked perfectly and was delicious. I look forward to future visits. read more

I visited based on other reviews. It is a pretty cool spot. The space is rustic and cool. The staff is very nice and made good recommendations. I was informed that I was visiting on Monday and they had a fried chicken sandwich special. I decided to try it and it was very good. The chicken was big, juicy and the crust was incredible. I had a couple of standard cocktails but they were well done. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a cool vibe and good food. read more

Super friendly service and killer recommendations. A plastic wall separates each spacious booth/table, they have a wonderful happy hour until 6pm seven days a week, and awesome meal deals. Cool scene, as well - punk music with beautiful artwork lining the walls. Pay it a visit if you're in the area :) Food recommendations: Appetizers - Mac n Cheese & Brussels and Bacon (hands down our favorite part of the meal) Entrees - Turkey Brie Sandwich and Fish n Chips All the beer!!! Excellent selection to choose from read more

Food was amazing! And service was fantastic; the steak was delicious and prepared perfectly. It was recommended by our server. The fried chicken looked amazing; I think I'll get it next time! We sat outside and the heaters did a great job keeping us warm. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for lunch with my family this afternoon. We all shared a large fry. Everyone ate sandwiches (cubano on gluten free bread pictured). It was all good. I wish the fries would've been a littleeee more crispy, but I really liked the cocktail sauce they were served with and they were well seasoned. A minor detail in the grand scheme of things. The sandwich was phenomenal, and I'm thrilled that they offer gluten free bread (and only $1 extra at that!). A lot of the time when I order something on gluten free bread they screw me on portion size, but not here! The GF bread is smaller than their normal bread, so they gave me 2 sandwiches to ensure I'd receive the same amount of food. The pork was tender and juicy, the sauce was just the right amount of spicy, and the pickles weren't too overpowering. The space is dedicated more to the bar than to the restaurant side, but we were still comfortable at our table. The waiter was attentive and quickly resolved an issue we had with a flat Diet Coke. I didn't have any cocktails this time, but I'd love to come back and see what they have to offer! I saw their tap list was extensive, and had some sours on there I hadn't heard of! read more

While in Tucson, myself and a few others were keen to do some exploring of the city and ended up at Etmanos for dinner. We walked in not knowing what to expect but the food did not disappoint. Two of us had a fried chicken sandwich which fries. Everything was cooked to perfection. The fries were amazing! The chicken which had two patties was the perfect crispyness. The others equally enjoyed their food. The young lady who waited on us was very nice. The only downfall was a drink order by 2 of us that didn't quite make the cut. It was bitter when it was supposed to be sweet. They tried adding more simple syrup but it barely moved the needle. I likewise had ordered a ginger ale that came out tasting like carbonated water. I ordered a different soda and it was fine. Definitely worth a try if you're in the Tucson area. read more

So yummy, great ambiance, and fantastic drinks! We went late one Sunday night and the service was alright, but still friendly. It just took a long time to get seated. We had a good time and enjoyed our meal. read more

On a Saturday night they did not have their featured Sangria or any Desserts. Huh? Disappointing to say the least.

This is a wonderful bar that serves thee best food in the area! The hostesses, servers, bartenders and cooks here, top notch. Was pretty bummed that we didn't get to try the oxtail pasta, but we'll be back to try it no doubt. You won't be disappointed if you're in the area, this is a great place for first dates as well.... read more

Great little spit for a drink or quick bite! I've had a mostly good experience with the restaurant side, and got to finally get into Portal (the back of the restaurant's bar, that's different from the front-end bar/restaurant). It's usually too busy to check out, so I was glad I got to sit comfortably and have not just a drink, but a very nice well made drink.. i was very impressed with the bartenders knowledge and perfectionism of drinks! The best time to come to Portal is right before happy hour ends, before the dinner rush. I believe I was here at/around 4/5? And it was perfect. I also love that being able to grab a bite late after a show downtown, or escaping the craziness of 4th Ave in a decently cozy environment. :) read more

Two years later and I still think this is the best fried chicken in Tucson! We make the trek to 4th Ave just for it. A couple changes to note from my previous review: they now have a Sunday brunch menu which does NOT have the fried chicken on it. They serve brunch until 3 PM, the kitchen closes from 3-4 PM, and then they serve the regular menu from 4 PM on. None of that info was on the website so we were disappointed when we headed there last weekend for some Sunday fried chicken mid-afternoon and couldn't get it. So go after 4 PM on Sundays if you want the fried chicken meal. They now have some cocktails on the menu instead of having to go into Portal to order them, which is a nice change. I haven't tried too many drinks there yet. The sangria I had once didn't have any fresh fruit in it so was a little disappointing. My husband has enjoyed their draft beer selection and tried several local brews. But that fried chicken...! read more

Well, a couple of things: The appetizers are ok. Be forwarned, they do not massage their kale so if you have a sensitive stomach - skip this salad. We didn't want to sit all the way in the back, so chose a table up front by the windows. Don't sit there if you have light sensitivity - even if it's night there are two lights that shine directly into the bar windows and are kinda blinding. (Not comfortable if you're trying to face someone who's in that sight-line) I do love that inner-sanctum room but haven't had an occasion to party in there - it's pretty fun and swanky. read more

My dad and stepmom came to Tucson for a visit. Their last night here we decided to head to Ermanos for a farewell dinner. It. Was. Amazing. The service was wonderful. Polite and prompt! Our table ordered a Cabernet, margarita and two draft beers and all were lovely! I ordered the oxtail parpadelle and it DID NOT disappoint! I highly recommend this dish. We ordered the cauliflower appetizer which was also wonderful. The other folks in our party loved their meal as well! Ambiance was fun, lively and perfect for our gathering. I would suggest Ermanos to anyone looking for a fun place to grab some drinks and some good food in a laid back, yet classy atmosphere! Highly recommend! Cheers! read more

Anytime I visit a new city I search wineries or tasting rooms, breweries, and distilleries. Actually this place came up on many lists for both their beers and wine selection. I started with a beer flight. I like fruit beers, sours, saisons and the occasional NE IPA. Their selection accommodated my palate well. I enjoyed my beers and conversation with the bartenders. After my beers I was feeling peckish and ordered the fish and chips for lunch. The fish was nicely battered and there's nothing better than a hand cut fry but the slaw was the star of the show. Hands down the best I've ever had outside my own kitchen. It was tangy, a bit sweet, and crisp; the perfect accompaniment. Can't wait to get back to Tucson and here! read more

Cool space, good beer list, and great food. This place is a little expensive, but the food and beer make for a cool experience. I've eaten and drank here a few times over the years and it's been very good most of the time. I've heard one bad review from a friend who had been twice. He wanted to like Ermanos, but must have caught them on two off nights which is unfortunate. Definitely try this place out if you're downtown and want great beer and something to eat. read more

Great spot for date night or catching up with friends! There weren't any tables ready when we arrived and too humid for outside so we opted for seats at the bar. Bartenders were constantly on the go, but greeted/served quickly. Have a great beer selection and flight option. Ordered buffalo cauliflower bites and those were delish! Sweet n savory kale salad with shrimp was perfect and the lobster roll really tasty. Also got a complimentary birthday dessert, very chocolatey and craving it again as I type this. Looking forward to trying Portal next time! read more

3.5 stars... Looking for something local and the mural drew me in! Ordered the Pueblo burger, because...poblano and chorizo! Added melty American cheese and an order of fries...burger was good and fries were great! Soft poblano and the dense chorizo patty with the melty cheese...my only complaint was the architecture. The burger just wouldn't stay together, so it ended up sliding apart and eating it deconstructed was not all bad. Fries could have been a bit crispier, but well seasoned. Good beer list with plenty of the local suds. Ambiance is factory renovation, staff was friendly and helpful, but prices were above expectation($14 burger should come with small fries).. this place was fine, but with so many others in this up and coming town I can't guarantee a return visit, this joint does not make the list. read more

Great drinks, food, and service. Last night I had a Caesar salad with fried chicken (so good) my friends had a burger and another the fried chicken. All were excellent. I had the walnut old fashioned which was delicious. Check it out! read more

This place is seriously incredible. Awesome food with a streamlined menu -- the Brussels and bacon is amazing, the cauliflower is unbelievable. Great beer and wine selection. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but it can be hard to get help on busy nights. Speaking of, the seating options are NOT made equally -- I've only sat outside, and it's nice but not great. Out back is loud and busy, out front is loud and in the street. Portal is a fun time -- I highly recommend visiting for the experience. read more

Great espresso martinis and a cute, up-scale atmosphere (in terms of 4th at least lol)

Holy moly! The fried chicken sandwich is a must! It was huge and so juicy and flavorful. My husband had the Lobster Roll which was really yummy as well. Forgot to take a pic. We started with the ceviche, I highly recommend. Oh! And if you like Kombucha beer, you have to try the Bad Bloch. Probably the best one I've had yet. read more

Really enjoyed the ambiance and setting. The service was indifferent; the server never came back after our food was delivered to see how everything was or if we needed anything. Some in our group enjoyed their food, but my dining partner did not: her salad, though expensive, had a paltry amount of toppings. Compared to, say, the salads at Doughbird or Cafe a la Cart, the Ermanos salad was downright meager. My sandwich was good, but for the price, I would have expected at least a small side, say a cup of coleslaw, or a dozen French fries. In all, it was a sadly disappointing visit and we probably won't be back. read more

Recently I experienced one of the most incredible dishes I've ever put in my face - the lobster mac & cheese at Ermano's. It was absolutely everything I could have ever desired it to be and more. Creamy, full of flavor, and had TONS of lobster on it. If I ever need to choose a last meal, please know this is what I want it to be! read more

Ermanos caught my eye because of the extensive menu, focus on craft cocktails, and a huge selection of craft brew. I liked the casual, unpretentious, clean and sleek atmosphere. I grabbed a quick snack and drink while in the area, and both were delicious and reasonably priced. I took a red sangria, but many of the speciality cocktails looked great. I ate a few street tacos too, one of the daily specials. They were yummy and huge by street taco standards. The service was also excellent. They also have a to-go store. I must return next time I'm in Tucson to taste more of the menu. read more

Food was ok. Had the burger, nothing special. The elote appetizer was interesting. Service was good. We sat on the patio in the back... not a good atmosphere, but inside the bar is nice and the front outdoor area is nice to people watch. read more

Food was lacking and back patio was dingy and dirty. We were rushed through our meal and the server stood by waiting for us to pay. I wouldn't go back. read more

I've been meaning to check this place out, and I was very pleased when I did. There was one flaw to my experience though. I arrived with some friends and we ordered cocktails as soon as we got there. I had the Core Values, as well as the Sangria, and they were both so good. There was a great balance of sweetness and alcohol- they are very easy to drink if you don't like heavy drinks. After ordering these drinks, we waited 45 minutes until our server came back to our table. It wasn't very busy that day and we saw our server hiding away for the most part, which was pretty disappointing. Although we had to wait a long time for our food, it was so worth it. The food was so good and I'm definitely going to come back. Portion sizes of the apps were perfect to share! Our favorite dish of the night were the chicken nachos. The green salsa and cream on top was delicious and the chicken was so tender and juicy! Other than the service, we had a great time and the ambience is great! Definitely check this place out. read more

I have gone to this bar quite a few times, and unfortunately, the occasion where I had a friend visiting, we found hair in our food. I wasn't quite happy about this considering that all of my previous visits have been really good. Hopefully they'll aim to be more careful next time. However, the service is really friendly and attentive. read more

These are a few of my favorite things = The Sonoran Meat and Cheese Board. they pickle their own vegetables. Everything on here is so tasty, interesting and plentiful - once you have it other charcuterie boards will bot seem worth it. The Chicken Sandwich - I normally don't like chicken sandwiches - Ermano's is the exception - so good. Their Madras Bloody Mary - you will want in a Big Gulp - it's so good but sooo small. read more

They didn't have the bottle of wine we wanted. Good happy hour and quick service. I recommend that the servers not use their hands by holding the top of the martini glasses but by the stems instead. We had the patio to ourselves and were dog friendly. read more

Tried for the first time with a best friend and it was great! Avocado fries and turkey & brie sandwich were amazing!

I have always enjoyed this Tucson restaurant. The food is good however they recently made the decision to replace the Mediterranean board-one of my all time favorites! The service is good and attentive. The bar is comfortable and spacious. If you are looking for a more sophisticated drinking experience then at the end of the Ermanos bar you will find a bar with more drinking options read more

The food was OK. I have had this place on my list for awhile and had high expectations based off the reviews but the elote was cold, the Caesar salad was wilted and needed more dressing, the turkey and Brie sandwich had way too much Mayo and turkey tasted like it was the worst brand of the deli slices and the spicy fried chicken sandwich was dry. The service was good. Nice to be able to go portal right after which had a good ambiance but overall 2/5 food 5/5 service 4/5 ambiance Won't be coming back read more

Ermanos is relaxing, has a great feel. Good selection of beer, wine and hard drinks. We like going for lunch. Specials every day happy hour open till 6. The manager has his finger on what's going on and is ver friendly. Best lobster roll ... (and we visit Maine often!) nothing has disappointed on the menu. Ever changing and very creative. A Tucson Gem! read more

This spot is a no for large groups unless you plan on paying the bill or splitting it with one other person. First, when you make a large group reservation, you have to put your credit card down. Their policy is if you cancel too late or no-show you get charged $10 per head. I think that is fair, especially for a local biz but if they have this advanced system, why can't they make separate bills for each couple in the large group? What a buzz kill for everyone there, having to figure out who owes what and passing money to each other. Even fricken Olive Garden can split bills and still add the 20% tip! Basically their food and vibe isn't good enough to have to deal with the hassle. Other things I noticed, the other staff and helpers will not make eye contact or check on you if they aren't assigned to your table. There were two on the small patio helping another large group and walked past us several times because, how dare we ask them for something. Lol. Regarding the food....Waited forever for drinks, the food was decent, nothing was bad but again, not worth the hassle for a large group. Hope this helps! read more
