Added a salad this time.   Delicious!
Holly S.

I went here after packing up ashes and sending them to my friends kids. See below if interested for explanation. This is a local business, so if I have a choice between a chain restaurant close by Grumpy's.... or Grumpy's I will pick local always. This business has not raised prices much during this last year. Good quality food, lot's of regulars, and everyone is so nice. I love how busy they are with people who clearly come here often, and the ambiance, service , and food bring people back. Love me some Grumpy's. Please support local businesses!!

$9.99 special
Johnny J.

Had the $9.99 breakfast special. Awesome! 2 eggs, 2 meat, 2 toast and potatoes. All cooked to my liking. Eggs ..if you want over easy order over medium. For Xtra crispy hash browns order Xtra -xtra crispy. Great deal for breakfast!

Omg! So so good Pastrami sandwich with Buffalo fries - both sandwich and chips are on the salty side, just a tad, but yummy. Chicken Fried Steak - yummy. Perfectly fried and paired with yummy white gravy. Meatloaf- portion is small but delicious. So moist and flavorful. Loved the steamed vegetables. Our favorite diner in Tucson.

Michelle N.

Love this place!!!!! Breakfast, lunch, or dinner any time is a great time go! Tuesdays are burger night and can be busy. Definitely worth it & waiting.

French Dip
Martha C.

I had the French dip with a side of fries yum yum fries where nice and hot did ask for them to be . The server was friendly. This place is clean and awesome 60 music playing

Western Burger*
Michelle L.

Popular local spot serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have lunch specials and some daily specials. Lindsey our waitress was so attentive and helpful and was a mover . The Western Birger was a good choice, perfectly grilled seasoned burger smothered with cheese, bacon , grilled onions and bbq sauce served with a side of crispy beer battered onion rings made the lunch complete. Definitely a place to check out if you are in the area.

Atmosphere

Good food man. It's breakfast but it's actually good! The atmosphere is old Chicago lighting has a bar!! They have cute little Xmas trees everywhere right now. The eggs Benedict was great! Hollandaise sauce was great and the egg was perfect! Service was good and fast! Only complaint was the kids happy face pancake didn't have a happy face? It was a Mickey style pancake ? But that's okay my son was just looking forward to a face reveal lol. We will be back!! I found that this is one of the better breakfast spots over Baja cafe or Jerry bobs!

Chili Burger.  Delicious.  Huge portion - can easily feed two people.  Fried are great too.
Sean K.

I finally made it to Grumpy's Restaurant, and honestly--I wish I hadn't waited so long. Living on Tucson's East Side, it's a bit of a drive, but after hearing so many glowing recommendations, I had to see what the buzz was about. It turns out Grumpy's has been quietly building a stellar reputation through years of hard work and consistency--and it shows. The food and service were outstanding. I'd heard great things about their chili and burgers, so I went with the open-face chili burger--and wow. It was absolutely delicious: hearty, flavorful, and generously portioned. Honestly, it could have fed two people easily. But the real standout? The wings. Phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe them. These might just be the best wings in Tucson--perfectly sized, with crispy skin, zero greasiness, and just the right amount of heat. Spicy enough to satisfy, but not so hot that you lose the flavor of the chicken. They alone are worth the drive. What really sets Grumpy's apart is its authentic, local vibe--the exact opposite of a big chain restaurant. There's no glitz here. No tablecloths, no fancy BS. This is where you go for great food. It's a genuine kind of place where regulars fill the tables and the staff recognizes them. The menu is full of no-nonsense American comfort food choices. I'm already planning my next visit--breakfast is on my list. Highly recommended.

We made it to Grumpy's twice while vacationing in Tucson, AZ. The first time was for breakfast. It was on a Sunday morning and the place was super busy. Grumpy's is located in a strip mall and the outside looks as if it's a store, but then you walk in and it's a really nice restaurant. The staff couldn't be nicer. Even with a number of people waiting, it was well organized and moved well. Our second time there was for an early dinner and it was just as nice. The food was good both time (forgot to take pictures).

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.

It's a very casual place staffed by kind and welcoming students, and the food is genuinely good. The Smoked Salmon Beni stood out in the reviews, and it did not disappoint when I finally got to try it. I'll be attaching a photo, but it tasted every bit as good as it looked. I also noticed the shaved steak sandwich on the menu and in several Yelp photos, so I'll definitely have to come back and try that next. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and overall character of the place.

These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious. In Tucson, the dedicated foodies who investigate these sugary felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Pastry Unit. These are their stories." Prep & Pastry is guilty of making "I'll just have one" the biggest lie you'll tell yourself all week. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or simply because life is better with a great pastry, this place delivers. WIT Inspection Score: -- Truly Among the Best.

9.5/10 | Absolutely Amazing!…read more Everything about this place was fantastic! I ordered the mole enchiladas, and they were absolutely delicious. The mole tasted exactly how authentic mole should taste, rich and full of flavor. I even mixed my side of rice into the mole because it was THAT good! To drink, I had the Mazapán horchata, and WOW!

For dessert, I had the pastel de galleta, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've ever tasted. So simple, yet so incredibly delicious!

Only open for breakfast, this little coffee shop packs in a lot of charm. I parked in the small lot in front. Ambiance (5/5): Definitely charming. It's a grab-and-go place for some, but for those that stay, there's a decent amount of seating outside. You're surrounded by a nice garden area, so it makes for a nice place to enjoy your beverage or some food. As long as the weather cooperates. Service (5/5): You place your order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. The lady working the counter was super friendly. A bright smile goes a long way. She was lovely. Drinks (5/5): While I'm not a coffee drinker, I'm a big fan of lemonade. They have a berry lemonade that has berries in it (blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries). Good size and it was very refreshing. One of the best lemonades I've had in quite some time. Food (4/5): Barista is known for its breakfast burritos and I love a good breakfast burrito. You'll find your usual ingredients here for the most part e.g. chorizo, egg, potato, bacon, ham, etc. Which I could have easily done. Instead, I decided to roll the dice and get my burrito with macheca. Which is a dried out Sonoran beef jerky of sorts. Heavily spiced. With a bit of a kick. I had never had it, and I must say, I'm not a huge fan. The lady who took my order complicated this gringo on my selection, but too strong of a taste for me. I'm sure I would've enjoyed one of the other proteins more. With that being said, it's a good portion (essentially two burros) and it was grilled nicely. It made for a filling, and satisfying, breakfast on the road.
