Sawmill Run is a cute little restaurant in Summerhaven at the top of Mount Lemmon. It's got that…read morenice mountain-town atmosphere with both indoor and patio seating. Overall, the food tasted really good, but the prices and portion sizes were a little disappointing. I started with the Aspen Glow Old Fashioned, which was really good. You could tell they were using quality ingredients, but $16 for an Old Fashioned felt a little steep for what it was. My girlfriend and I split a bowl of chili, the Autumn Burger, and an order of fries. The chili was pretty good, but the bowl was tiny. Honestly, it was closer to what most restaurants would consider a cup. It was also supposed to come with cornbread, which we never received. The Autumn Burger had really good flavor. The apple butter was a unique addition and worked surprisingly well. My biggest complaint was the size of the burger patty. It looked like maybe a quarter-pound patty, if that, and there was way more bun than meat. For an $18 burger that doesn't even include a side, I would expect at least a third-pound patty. The flavor was great, but the portion just didn't match the price. The French fries, however, were probably the best value on the menu. For $5.50, you get a massive serving of pretty good fries. The ketchup was a little different too. It was one of those fancy ketchup brands that tastes much sweeter than regular ketchup, which seems to be something I've noticed around Tucson. Service was a little interesting. There was a wedding party when we arrived, so they couldn't seat us at a regular table. Our options were to order takeout or sit at the bar, which only has about five seats. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the bartender was really friendly and cool. It definitely has that small-town restaurant feel where a large group can overwhelm the place pretty quickly. Overall, I'd probably rate this closer to a 3.5 if Yelp allowed it. The food had great flavor, the restaurant was cute, and the bartender was awesome, but the portions and prices didn't always match up. If you're visiting Mount Lemmon, it's worth stopping in, even if it's just to grab a big order of those $5.50 fries.

I would give 3.5 if I could…read more We came here after enjoying some time at the top of Mt. Lemmon. There was only bar seating or to go orders tonight due to a big wedding party that reserved a bunch of seating. Tonight we got the Autumn burger which has apple bacon, apple butter, arugula, cheddar cheese and Dijon. This burger was $18 without a side (it's just the burger). While the burger was cooked well and it tasted good, there's barely any patty for the amount of bun (in our opinion). It seemed like a 1/4 patty (the menu didn't say). For an $18 burger it should definitely be a bigger patty. We did get a side of fries for $5.50 which were a nice generous portion and they tasted good. I also got a bowl of chilli (I order this whenever I see it on the menu) it was supposed to come with cornbread for $11. Unfortunately, they were out of corn bread but the bartender wasn't told. I did hope they'd reduce the price since the cornbread (which is a huge part of having a bowl of chilli) wasn't available and it wasn't disclosed prior. I found out by asking after I got the bowl. The interior is cozy and the wood burning fireplace is a nice touch for warmth and ambiance. While we didn't get dessert, they did sound good. I'm glad we tried it (we like trying new places) and it's a viable option if you're spending time on the mountain.

Friends at work have recommended this place and so glad I came to meet a friend for lunch here!…read more It's one of a handful Native American cuisine restaurants in Tucson. Turning into the parking lot if you're heading south is a little tricky, but pretty big parking lot. We came at 12:45pm for lunch and it wasn't too busy, so not sure how packed or difficult parking is at dinner. Staff were friendly and they let us sit in our booth for greater than 2 hours since my friend and I were catching up and it wasn't too busy. They were a little behind in refilling my water cup, but otherwise, super friendly and you go up to the front desk to pay, at least that's what we did when we were done. Their menu offers a mix of Native American food and Mexican food, primarily a mix of popovers aka fry bread in replacement of tortillas for some dishes. I got the popover sample, which is a sample of their popover with green chile, red chili and refried bean taco. Their chili come with beef. It's a decent size if you're not starving and they also give free chips & salsa, so it was the perfect amount for me. The server said for the sampler, they take what's normally one large popover and split it into 3 pieces, so it gives you an idea of what one large popover size looks like. Definitely will be back to the other items!

1st time coming here…read more The dining area was not too busy so we were seated fast. In a private room they had a baby shower happening and then in another area was a wedding reception or something. I think it's nice there are spaces to hold those events. They gave us chips and salsa to start. Delicious. The salsa had a slight spice to it. We got the wings half and half and they were decent. Kids quesadilla which my son enjoyed. I got the C3 and chose the popover with half green and half red. It was so good. Their potato salad is delicious as well. My husband got the steak burrito and he said you can tell it's real steak they use. I tried it and it was good but to me a little sweet. He loved it though. Our waiter was very attentive and we never had to ask for any refills on drinks or chips and salsa. Did not have a chance to try the dessert as we were full but I will def be back to this cafe. Fully recommend.

I had been there several times in the past and eventually stopped going because the service was never great and the prices were simply too high for what you get. After avoiding it for years, I decided to give it another chance and took my 82-year-old friend there for brunch. And lo and behold, nothing has changed. The food was fine, but nothing memorable and certainly not worth the prices, in my opinion. There was nothing about our brunch that would make me want to come back for the food itself. The service was completely inattentive. We waited quite a while just to place our order and even longer to get our food -- and it wasn't even a busy day. Then there is the main door. We were sitting inside, and that door SLAMS every single time someone walks through it. It was jarring and unpleasant, over and over again, and the staff seemed completely oblivious to it. Such an easy fix! Add the same slow-close mechanism you already have on the door to the outside patio. Or at least put a note on the door and ask the staff to close it gently. And finally, when it was time to pay, the server stood right there looking over my shoulder while I used the portable terminal. It's uncomfortable and makes you feel pressured to leave a 20% tip -- especially awkward when the service you just received was not deserving of 20%. I really want to love this place because the setting is magical. But every time I give it another chance, I leave feeling the same way. It just falls short.

Flight Grill was a pretty good lunch stop while visiting the Pima Air & Space Museum. The food was…read morebetter than I expected for a restaurant inside a museum, and the views are definitely a nice bonus. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and a side of fries. It was about $15, which felt a little high for what you get, but not horrible considering the location. The chicken breast was a little small, but the sandwich itself was really good. You could tell they were using quality ingredients instead of just buying the cheapest bread and chicken they could find. The bacon had a slightly smoky flavor, which wasn't bad, just something I noticed. The French fries were really good and probably one of the better parts of the meal. The guy working the register was also really friendly. One of the coolest things about this place is the view. You get to look out over a bunch of military aircraft, including some of the more modern jets from around the '80s and '90s. It's a pretty awesome backdrop while eating lunch. Overall, a solid place to grab food while exploring the museum. A little pricey for the portion size, but good quality food and a really cool view make it worth a stop.

So don't let the snack display fool you! They also have a good selection of cold drinks and even adult beverages, which is a nice little bonus for the grown-ups. My kiddo was very happy to sit down and eat after exploring all those airplanes, and I was equally happy to give my feet a break! The friendly staff really made this stop even better. A convenient place to recharge, feed a hungry kid, and enjoy a little downtime before heading back out to explore. So glad we stopped!

I finally made it to P&Ms!…read more I was in Tucson running errands after taking my dog to a vaccine clinic. I chose this place because it's dog-friendly. Dark clouds were moving in from the South so I wasn't sure if the patio was still open when I walked in at 3:15pm on a Friday. I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. While the patio was open, the host did tell me it was windy and that I could sit inside with my dog in the covered dining area off the patio. "Is she friendly?" he asked me. "As long as no other dogs are around!" I replied. My dog was tired from her vaccines and was very quiet. She lay down and snoozed throughout my meal, although I did toss her some chicken when no one was looking. I was only the third table back there. I ordered chips and salsa ($1 extra) and my Chicken Burro enchilada style came out moments later. Service was excellent throughout my meal. I ordered the sour cream-green chile sauce over my burro. It was very tasty! The chicken was good, but the rice was very salty. The flour tortilla was thick, too. I ate it all because I was hungry. I like how this restaurant is designed. The bar is in the front, separated by a long hall way that then opens into two separate dining areas. One dining area is its own room and both face the patio. The patio has a large cascading water fountain that I'm sure is lovely on a summer evening. I will definitely be back!

Ever since a trip to ABQ, I have been craving good hatch chile sauce like what I had there. We…read moredon't have many options for New Mexican style Mexican food in Tucson, so I appreciate the few spots we have that are trying to keep the style alive here! It saddens me to say this about a long-time Tucson staple, but I was not a huge fan of Poco and Mom's. I got the Silver City breakfast and added red chile pork. It's hash browns smothered with onion, green chile sauce, eggs, red chile pork, and cheese. I will start off by saying that the green chile sauce was good; tangy and flavorful. However, I did not enjoy the taste or texture of the hash browns - to me, they tasted like they were rehydrated dry hash browns from a box. The red chile pork was dry and tough, but the red chile sauce itself was fine. This breakfast was accompanied by a side of refried beans, which were on the blander side compared to most I've had at restaurants in Tucson. Another person in my party had the New Mexico red chile enchilada. This is where things went more downhill. The red chile sauce tasted bitter and almost burnt, nothing like I've had in New Mexico. It was not good. Their dish came with a side of rice which was also very underwhelming. The flavor was fine, but it didn't have that light and fluffy texture that good Mexican rice does - it was more dense and slightly gummy. The last person in our party got a ground beef chimi and didn't enjoy the flavor of the seasoning used on the ground beef. Could be a personal preference thing. They did enjoy the sauce it was smothered with, though. I did enjoy the atmosphere in Poco and Mom's. It is very cozy and the southwestern decor was charming. Our waitress was also great! I may be back to try their drinks or their sopapillas, but I don't think I'd return for anything else.

One person made a lot of smoke when they forgot their bagel and it got stuck. Lunch: They have a small lunch "grill" menu. I got the burger Arizona style with no onions and a gluten-free bun and a side salad. Solid choice but not many options for me otherwise. Nice to sit outside when the weather permits.
