This is a solid choice for breakfast, but not our first choice. They seated us quickly, but service was super slow (although friendly). The biggest downfall was how crowded and loud it was. My husband couldn't hear anything I was saying the entire time. Granted, he may only be in his mid thirties but as a combat veteran his hearing is less than optimal, so maybe the noise won't be an issue for you. For us, we wish they didn't crowd in the tables so much. Green chili egg platter was good, but needed quite a bit of added Tapatio in my opinion. read more

I used to come here for various meals when I lived in the area and I always enjoyed it. Most recent trip was early morning and it was really pleasant! Fast friendly service, same quaint atmosphere, clean and not too loud. They do have a full service bar but it doesn't feel like a bar.. ya know;) We both had the chicken fried steak breakfast and I was just too hungry to take a pic but it was stellar and very filling ! Definitely a good local spot if you are in the area! read more

Grumpy's is a little gem tucked away in a little corner and it's honestly one of the best places to eat in Tucson. It's a little busy and a little crowded most days so there is sometimes a wait to be seated but that is just a testimony to how good this place is. I don't think it's a well known spot but, if you know you know. Every plate I have ever tried here has been incredible, I especially LOVE their buffalo chips. Love their daily specials! read more

I came here for dinner Tuesday night right before they closed and they were really nice about still taking orders. My mom's mushroom burger (honey mustard instead of mayo) was pretty good. I did not like the fish dinner I had. The fish was very greasy (my fault I suppose for ordering fried fish), the red beef chili was cold and not good at all and the garlic bread tasted like they poured salt on it. Their prices are great so I might come back to try something completely different. read more

Went there for the first time today. It looks super small on the outside but there is plenty of seating and a room cap of 83. I had the corned beef hash and eggs and my wife had the country fried steak. Both were good and I really enjoyed the country potatoes. The service was decent. They did mess up my order as I had asked for hash browns and sunny side up eggs with sourdough toast but got the country potatoes, eggs over easy and white toast. Honestly I didn't even say anything because I'm just not that fussy and what I got was just fine. The food good but nothing to brag about. My biscuit was a little on the tough side but flavorful. The gravy was nice but I added some pepper to make it better. Overall it's a decent little breakfast spot and the pieces are pretty good. Oh and you get 3 eggs with each order instead of the normal 2. That's a bonus for sure! read more

Mom Pop Resturant. Very popular: However, there are Hot and cold days. One day service (waiter) is good, the next terrible. The food is good but there's a wait. There are certainly very few smiles amongst the staff, the owner is nice, but there are times you just want to walk out and go to Circle K for that dull breakfast sandwich. It's a hit and miss here. Today waited at the front door un-noticed for several minutes, then had to flag down a waitress to located my table waitress who was not in a good mood or lacking a smile. It's rough when you have traffic all day long. Hire someone already with good strong energy because this place needs it. THIS WILL BE MY LAST VISIT. Heading to the Crying Onion.

This Bar and Grill is one of our 'Go To' places when in town. They have some of the Best burgers, in a Great Variety. They have a "Burger Day" on Tuesdays where you get any burger discounted. My Mom really likes the Onion Rings and their "Grumpy's Favorite" burger, which has Peanut Butter of all things. Their Green Chili is Great. It's good on pretty much every dish they serve it on, plus a few we've special ordered. My Dad and youngest son like to order a cup of it with whatever they get and eat it with their fries. The Servers have always been nice. We have become acquainted well with a few of them and ask about families when we go in. They always smile and greet us warmly when we come in. The setting is typical sports bar and grill. Small place with quite a lot of seating for the little area. They have three outdoor tables, too. It's quite the popular spot at specific times of the day. There will be times you have to wait for a seat, especially on weekends. read more

Certainly one of the very best burgers in Tucson. We have enjoyed them for years, with the Hawaiian being our favorite. Took friends to Grumpy's Grill for lunch today. Velda tried the Hawaiian burger. She never finishes a complete burger or sandwich. Always a doggie bag. Well, I tell you there were no leftovers today. Good to the last bite (as they say). She loved it. The menu at Grumpy's offers something for just about anyone. The staff is always courteous, friendly and prompt.

We just finished at Grumpy's. All food was excellent. Mine was a was tuna melt, sweet potato fries, soup, a $3 Dos Equis beer. All excellent and reasonably priced. And the service....by Jessica... polite, friendly, and efficient. My first time at Grumpy's, but I'll come, even if it is 2,400 miles away. read more

What a feast for the senses. This the closest it gets to enjoying a meal in Spain. For all we ate and drunk, the $30 were fair. The place was packed but what better sign of the quality and the Spanish mood than that? I would recommend it to a friend. read more

Good burgers, decent prices, I'd go back. Probably not a place I would immediately think of but not because the food wasn't good.

He wasn't able to finish the pancakes but polished off the rest. The decor is cute with teddy bears and patriotism as far as the eye could see. Very country and homey.

15 min wait with 6 chairs outside door to support your load :D…read more We opted for in or out and were seated outside under umbrellas next to a large a/c unit that was blowing cold air on feet and droning sound and on a cloudy day, server offered to turn off without us even asking, thx Colby, he did a magic job for our party of 5. Tried black Decaf Coffee $2.75 though he wasn't sure what it was -- excellent flavor, dark roast, clean, no burnt caramel afterburn. Cinni Roll Pancake $8 for 10"-11" was 5/5 delish, crisp on exterior and soft and puffy 1/2" thick with sweet cream cheese glaze drizzled all over. Would get that to side next time as I watch sugars but still craving another bite day after! Definitely returning just for this! $23.50 oops Alexis Burnt the Meet was just aok but split charge $1.50 and served in a bowl looks cool but eating it turns everything into a sloppy mess. Would advise avoid the charge and ask for a 2nd plate so you can better delineate flavors. Also changed tots to hash browns, avoiding the fryer, so that also made it more mushy. Burnt ends very greasy and fatty so no do over but will go for a diff plate next time. The Cinful pancake will keep you a-coming so lots of options to try next plus they didn't have waffles available so that's a must do too!

Friends recommended this breakfast spot and we made plans to meet up with them here. There was a…read moreshort waitlist when we arrived and the restaurant erected a pop-up canopy to wait outside out of direct sun. Seating is tables and chairs (no booths) in two dining rooms. A pet friendly patio is at the back. Menus are pretty big with a variety of preconceived dishes although they seem OK with substitutions. My friend tells me they have a turkey sausage option for those who don't eat pork sausage. Our waitress was very friendly, kept our waters filled and checked in on us often. All our food was well prepared and there were plenty of left overs. My mocha cold brew was full of flavor and not too sweet with lots of that coffee flavor shining through. So glad I ordered that with the optional whipped cream on top! Thanks to our friends information we received a military discount on our order. We won't see our friends for a while and we sat at the table talking. After paying our tab the waitress let us know we could stay to visit and offered to refill our waters if wanted. Very sweet. Two gender neutral restroom are down a hallway at the back. Highchairs and booster seats are available. A pet friendly outdoor patio is at the back. Parking is in a shared lot with a handicap spot near the entrance.

Luna Cafe, a local diner in the Marana Stockyards, is definitely a hidden gem! When you first enter…read morethe Stockyards, the area may look a little rough around the edges, but keep going. Once you reach the entrance to the café, you'll find a little place full of history and character. You can tell it's a favorite among the locals, especially the older crowd who have been coming here for years. The service was great--friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food has a lot of potential. I ordered the chilaquiles. The tortillas were nice and crispy, although the sauce tasted more like an enchilada-style spice and could have used a little more seasoning. The hash browns with cheese and jalapeños were amazingly crispy--they almost looked like a thin-crust pizza! I also tried the chicken-fried steak. It was soft and tender with a nice bite, but I felt like it needed more seasoning and flavor. Overall, Luna Cafe has that old-school local-diner charm that you don't find everywhere anymore. Great service, generous portions, decent prices, and lots of history. With just a little more seasoning, the food could really stand out. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for a local spot!

This ain't no fancy bistro cafe. Let's get that straight…read more The day we visited there was a live cattle auction happening in the same building which I thought was cool & added to the authentic country charm. If you were wondering, the smell of cows was NOT perceptible even by my extra good sniffer. Probably because of the auction, combined with great reviews - the place was packed with cowboys/girls & farmers along with a mix of other diners. Young, old, hip, not hip, all getting along in there. Wait staff was busy as could be, but kindly took our order & served our dishes while they were still piping hot which is a pet peeve when it's not. Menu had gluten free and vegetarian options which I didn't expect but did think was smart & I'll def try one of them next time I eat here. Lots of choices for everyone. Prices were the usual for this economy ($15+ person entree, excluding beverage or spendier stuff like steak). The place smelled like a good diner ought to: sizzling fragrance of thick bacon & burgers, scent of fresh coffee, toasted breads & perfectly cooked eggs. I ordered the Breakfast Torta, a SW twist on a bfast sammy - egg, bacon, tomato with gorgeous & plentiful avocado atop a thick smear of housemade refried beans. All packed into the freshest torta bread I've eaten anywhere. My husband had the chicken fried steak breakfast with crispy house potatoes. They serve Pepsi products so hubs had a big glass of chocolate milk (nice sized!) and I had water & a side of fruit. Golly! The portions were generous and whoever is cooking clearly knows what they're doing cause I could taste the love in every bite. (Even the bites of not-my-entree under the guise of needing to review his plate, too!). The chicken fried steak was perfectly seasoned, inside and out and the thickish gravy had a zest to it which really made the dish extra good. I was pleasantly surprised that the home fries were perfectly crisp. Usually it's the side dishes at many cafes that I find a real let down. Not here. Start to finish, everything was dinerliciously great. Five stars for executing country cafe food without cutting corners. Had enough to enjoy some for next days' lunch. It is a down home country cafe & deserves all the stars. Yeehaw!
