I recently learned about this place--I didn't know this had been here for the last eight months. This place is soooooo amazing! The staff is super helpful and friendly. The ambiance was relaxed. It was very clean. The food...all I can say is WOW! It was so dang good! Served on real plats--no paper or plastic. The portions are great too! I got the ham and mashed tators--heavenly! Hubby got he half a chicken and tators--he raved about the chicken. The flavoring was spot on. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out! It is located near the base for all those missing home cooked southern foods. Next on my list to try is the pot roast!!!!!

SMOTHERED PORK CHOP

As a southern girl, I was very excited to try this place. You order at the counter where you'll encounter some of the friendliest staff - they take care to explain everything to you before you order. It's a traditional meat and three place (aka: plate lunch) where you choose your meat and 3 sides. However, I was pleased to see that they have a 1 or 2 side option as well if you're not in the mood for epic portions. We ordered the smothered pork chops, pot roast, black eyed peas, Mac n' cheese, mashed potatoes with white gravy, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, fried okra, cheesy grits and buttermilk biscuits. I loved the smothered pork chops - the gravy was spot on! I preferred the white gravy on the mash more than the brown gravy, but both were good. The Mac n' cheese was thick and perfectly cooked (I devoured it). The black eyed pease has the perfect amount of ham - well done folks! We didn't care for the cheesy grits as they tasted like someone had added a splash of vinegar in them. The space is super casual, just like the local joints back home - perfect decor for a southern place. Was it my grandma's cooking? No. But was it a solid southern meal that I didn't have to slave over the stove to prepare? YES. I'll be back!

Banana pudding and pecan pie that we took home for dessert.

Hambones was a great place. Service was great and food was even better. Very friendly staff and owner. We will definitely be back.

Dishes offered: Smothered pork chops Mac n cheese biscuit - so much incredible flavor, pork was so tender braised in that mushroom sauce! Mac and cheese was creamy and gooey and perfectly cooked. Biscuits were light and tender crafted with a light hand. Nice toothy crust on the outside, rich buttery flavor. Pot roast with brown gravy, collards, cheesy grits, pot roast was fall apart tender. Collards has tons of slightly smokey hammy flavor - DELICIOUS! Cheesy grits were fantastic. Half chicken squash casserole Mac and cheese mash potatoes and brown gravy. Our friend said the chicken was moist and delicious. Her favorite was the squash casserole. WHAT A GREAT MEAL!!!

Tl;Dr (it just isnt worth it, go eat somewhere else, anywhere else) Had i rated this place on my first visit with a friend and left it at that, i would have given this place a generous four stars. However, on a subsequent return alone, the experience left me feeling cheated/robbed. On my first visit the only complaint me and my friend had was the diced sweet potatoes served like candied yams (or maybe they were candied yams im going off memory). It was a mix of crunchy undercooked pieces and cooked pieces that were smooth and buttery. The disparity was as if they dumped in an undercooked batch and mixed it with one that was older. On my recent return, i was a a bit short on getting a Meat and Three so i got a Meat and One Side which came out to roughly $18.31 with tax and tip (15% because that was all i could afford until payday and i really needed something to eat before work). The Lemon Sole was completely inedible. "Lemon" implies you get a citrus flavor with maybe a HINT of zest. There was no citrus, but instead crushing bitterness of nothing but zest. So powerful in fact, it was as though someone juiced nothing but peel/rind and threw away the rest of the lemon. In addition to the awful flavor, it was RUBBERY. Pressing down on the filet caused it to bounce right back up into its curled shape. Attempting to separate it from the still attached skin, was like trying to separate melted candy from its wrapper. So what was i left with? A tiny cup of cheesy grits, that was just this side of too runny/thin. The cornbread was nice on both visits. So in the end, i wont come back here. You shouldn't come here. This place has very inconsistent (or lacks) quality control. And there is definitely some measure of portion control in this kitchen (and its TIGHT). I can say without sarcasm that i would have gotten better flavor and value at fast food. An hour later at work, im starving and i cant get the bitter zest out of my mouth. Leaving a Meat and Three joint hungry is a crime in some parts of this country.

Country fried steak with country pepper gravy, collard greens, Mac n cheese, black eyed peas, and corn bread.

The food was delicious! I only had two nit picky complaints: the Mac is a little thicker than I prefer and I would've preferred the CFS be drained of the grease for a few more seconds. Now, that outta the way, the good: friggin everything! Bisbee Breakfast Club has been my go-to for CFS in Tucson...this beats it. The breading is seasoned very well, the meat is tender, and put it together with the gravy...it was money. I prefer a little more pepper but straight out of the kitchen that gravy was delicious. They even brought me an additional serving to dip in. The collard greens were my favorite part of the meal. They were savory and tangy with the right amount of firmness. No mush! I soaked up all the juice with my corn bread because I couldn't let it go to waste! The black eyed peas were seasoned differently than I am used to but they were delicious. They have really good zing and a bit of spice, where I am used to them being more savory and having to add hot sauce. These were great as is! The Mac n cheese was super cheesy, seasoned well, and the pasta was cooked properly. I would've liked them to be a touch creamier but the flavors were on point! I really enjoyed the corn bread as well. I had half with butter and half plain (until it was time to soak up the greens' juice). I preferred the corn bread without the butter. It was just that good. The staff were super friendly and explained how the menu worked. I think it is very reasonably priced. The meat and three with a drink is right around $25 and it made me skip dinner because I was still full! (I ate at 10:30am too!) I absolutely recommend this joint and will be back no later than Saturday because I want to try that gumbo!

Fried Chicken, side of mashed potatoes with peppered white gravy & buttermilk biscuit with butter and honey.

Great southern comfort food just like your southern mom would make! Delicious crispy fried chicken with a breast and leg/thigh quarter. We chose the homemade mashed potatoes with the country peppered white gravy, buttermilk biscuit with butter and honey....soooo good! The staff were friendly and informative highlighting the daily specials. You'll want to come try each day.

Two pieces of delicious fried chicken with porky collards, Mac and cheese and biscuit. Delicious!
Victor Z.

Food is delicious! And they give very generous portions so you'll never leave hungry. This was my second time eating here and it was just as delicious this time as the first. This time I ordered the fried chicken with Mac and cheese, porky collards and a biscuit. Food was hot and fresh. The staff were friendly and engaging and the restaurant was clean. It was a struggle but I finished the meal. Can't wait to come back.

Ham, potatoes,  macaroni and cheese,  with a biscuit.

See all
