The wait staff has always been very kind and generally attentive. The food is tasty. Both of my parents really like this restaurant. Dad likes their meatloaf and biscuits and gravy. Mom likes their burgers. I really like their chicken quesadilla. BIG portions and a lot of good salsa. Nice little place with good seating. Decor consists of some interesting pictures. Access to all areas where customers are allowed is easy and unobstructed, even for wheelchairs. Typically not Horribly busy, but they seem to have a consistent amount of custom. Very affordable. read more

So this one satisfied my itch for biscuit and gravy. A nice fluffy biscuit with actually seasoned gravy. Their chicken fried steak was run of the mill. Their hashbrowns were good and plentiful. Service was fast and friendly. It's just and old school family restaurant that basically only does breakfast except for Fridays. If you're looking for that then this is the place. read more

The Jerry Bob's on East Speedway is rather dated but a nice, basic restaurant that mostly cater to seniors based on my dining experience. The restaurant is only open mornings thru mid afternoon, and offers "all day" breakfast and traditional old-time diner options for lunch. The servings are huge and prices are very reasonable but the decor and seating are drab, and the service was just so so. My meal arrived undercooked and had to be sent back, so they gave it to me half price which was very nice. I would eat there again with my 95-yr old mother since she really enjoys dining there, but I would not eat there again otherwise. read more

The food here is reasonably priced, the waitresses are all veterans and nice. They know what's up. The owner is over 90 years old and works as hard as a 27 year old ranch hand. He is incredible. The all you can eat ribs on Friday nights are actually amazing. Fully recommend. read more

First time here. Pretty decent size place and not a typical Jerry Bobs. Different floor plan. They do have a counter, it's hidden if you don't walk around. I didn't see it till I was leaving. I'm always interested in knowing what the building was prior, anyone know? Anyway- it was kind a slow, saw a few folks working. Our server was fabulous, very nice young man. Food was perfect, hot. Prices are typical, average. Place was clean, inviting. There is a special board with a few different deals. I noticed this PARTICULAR location (Speedway) is open Friday nights for dinner & FISH FRY. The place could us an upgrade, but if it's not broken, no need to fix it, right? Only thing that could be an issue is that parking lot. You know what I mean if you've been there. Anyway, I say yes, try it...I'll go again for sure. read more

Let me start by saying OMG the ribs were so tender the were coming off the bone AND the were delicious. The catfish was fried perfectly, so so good. Even the salad and coleslaw were good. I even had half a dessert, yes only half. We shared a strawberry short cake that was really good. This was hands down the best meal I've had out here in Tucson. If I was staying longer I would be here again. Oh yeah the staff was really friendly and attentive. If you're in Tucson or visiting this place is a Friday night must for the all you can eat ribs and catfish. read more

My dad has gone there for over 30 years. So when we come to visit we go there too. The stuff has been outstanding. They all so serviced my dad with kindness. A wonderful place to go for home cooked foods. I suggest everybody should go out there in Tucson. read more

We recently went to the Jerry Bob's on Speedway here in Tucson for breakfast. They have a lot of options, but I chose the Square Meal. It was a generous portion of hash browns with bits of onion. Then cubes of ham, all covered with cheese! Two eggs cooked to order, and I chose sourdough toast for my bread option.Very delicious combo. Service was friendly, coffee was refilled regularly. read more

Jerry Bob's - Square Meal - Sandwiches Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I am disabled and I found access very good! Very good choices, what I what well prepared and tasty. Choices were very midwestern.

Best chicken and dumplings in town! We also visit for the catfish on Fridays. Nice server staff.

Only been here for breakfast and it's a decent spot. The bacon and eggs is always solid. I tried a pecan waffle and it was tasteless. The grits are good. Service is hit or miss but the price is right for an inexpensive breakfast. read more

This is a down home comfort food place! We've been there so often I expect to hear someone call out, "Norm!" You get to know the regulars, the servers and each other here - it's a lot like Cheers! Everyone can find something to like here. My most frequently ordered item is the Huevos Garcia w/eggs over easy! But if I'm switching over to a lunch menu, then it is their Patty Melt & Fries. It never disappoints. Friday nights are good for ribs or catfish if you are so inclined. Like I said, comfort food and good staff and good neighbors! read more

The food and service is consistently good each time we came here. The portions are good, and the price are equally good. We usually come here for breakfast or the all you can eat fish fry during Lent. I like the good old American diner kind vibe in this place. Servers are always sweet and attentive. read more

This cute little restaurant had the best vegan vegetable soup ever! If there's soup served in heaven, I'm pretty sure this is it! Our waitress, Aurora was so friendly & helpful, I felt like I was talking to an old friend. Service was good, fast & efficient. This place has a feel of old nostalgia of the 50's cafe (I'm not that old but that's the vibe I got ) well spaced & clean. I'm from out of town & will definitely be back again! read more

On average I eat there once a week. I don't see anyway Jerry Bob's on Speedway could improve. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the food is just plain good. I'm not looking for ambiance for breakfast or lunch, but Jerry Bob's is what I would expect in a restaurant like this. read more

2-stars for great service. Seriously, Jerry Bob's greatest product is the exemplary service. I had driven by twice a day, five days per week, for two years before noticing the All-You-Can Eat Ribs sign (hint: get a bigger sign). One evening we finally made it in, and no need to look at the menu, I was getting the ribs! They were far from great. Not quite good enough to call them "good". All I could eat was the first order, and at that, it was difficult to eat them. The sauce was lacking, the ribs lacked flavor, and actually tasted as though they had been rinsed off. I'm not sure how that can even happen; they were bland. On the service side, our server was exceptional! I really wish their food deserved a second chance just to be able to experience the great service again. Our waitress was friendly, responsive, not overbearing, met our needs without prompting, and overall amazing. I'd love to be alerted if the ribs recipe changes. Please keep me in mind; I'm not picky, but these failed to me the lowest of expectations for taste. read more

Visited for the first time today. My friend ordered eggs, sausage and toast, and I had a half order of biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. My portion was large so I was glad I didn't place a full order. The restaurant was clean and had adequate parking. We were able to seat ourselves and received our drinks and food quickly. The only complaint is we weren't aware we had to take payment to the register. There was a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items so I would like to try it again. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Checked in here yesterday, and I loved it. The waitress was very nice, and friendly, the food was great, and cheap. I don't know why these aren't on the east coast! I had the two eggs, bacon, hash browns, and wheat toast, with a waffle on the side. Along with my drink, everything was about $11! And they were huge portions too! I loved it and will be coming back again. read more

Jerry Bob's - A business card from this location. - Sandwiches Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I have raved about the customer service in my past reviews for this place. So I will keep this update short and sweet. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret...I order the Chicken & Dumplings 90% of the time I come here. Chicken and Dumpling Day only happens once a week. I probably shouldn't be telling you this because next week I might have to fight you for the last serving! I've been here a few times when they actually ran out! Luckily for me I had already ordered mine and was eating it when the server had to break the news to the guy at the table next to me. ;) Don't be that guy. They serve it every Tuesday, begining at 11am. Be there or be square. ^__^ read more

Very good local chain. This location is on the east side on Speedway. Usually seat yourself on Sunday (only day I go) and the service is always friendly and prompt. Standard breakfast fare. Check the specials sign on the way in. Located as a separate building in a small strip mall. No real cheap meals, they have better specials at the Golf Links and Kolb location. But decent price about $20 for two person breakfast. Small outdoor seating, but it is an option. read more

Went here after the Color Vibe 5k. We were seated outside in the sun. It was quite nice but needs more shade! Hehe. I can't say I am quite a fan because 1) I never really saw the inside of the restaurant but the outside was not bad. 2) I order a waffle and two sausage links. The presentation of the two links were not very appealing but they were good. The Waffle was a good size....I forced myself to finish at least half. I did (not to waste it) but I didn't finish the waffle because it essentially taste like starch. It had a high starch consistency and my friend had the rest of my half and agreed with me. My other friends had one of the omelet and it was pretty big and he said it was pretty good. To me, I thought it was okay but to them, I guess it was great because they licked their plates clean. I felt bad but I thought it was funny. read more

I just picked up a veggie omelette with hashbrowns with toast and a side of bacon. The omelette was completely burnt through and through. toast seemed extremely old and hard. The bacon wasn't cooked, and the hash browns Seemed old. I used to go to the Jerry Bob's every weekend. I will never return after today's experience. Never. Time and time again they have disappointed me. And time and time again I returned. Now I have learned that this is a horrible horrible restaurant. read more

Wanted to specials on one plate so I get charged dinner price twice.i didn't look at my bill until after they charged my card. $21.00 later and all they can do for me is say sorry.. meatloaf wasn't that good either. Won't come back.. read more

All you can eat rib night....turned out three ribs wasn't all I could eat, it was all I could stand. All fat/bone/gristle with a BBQ sauce that was sickingly sweet. Waitress saw that I barely touched them but said nothing. I took leftovers home, tossed them in the trash after trying to scrape off some edible meat without luck. read more

Services was quick. Wait staff pleasant. Meal was delicious. Looking forward to going back there again!!

I'm a big fan of Jerry Bob's because the price is so fair for the quality that you receive. This is true value at it's finest. I've eaten at this location 3 times, and while I prefer the Broadway and Rosemont location for it's speed and friendly service, this location is a close 2nd. I've had the corned beef hash and eggs with grits and toast, as well as the pancakes, the bacon and the biscuits and gravy. The corned beef hash is decent, the eggs not quite as perfect (I like mine over medium), they usually come out a little harder than I like. The toast arrives buttered and I really appreciate that. The pancakes are warm and fluffy, the bacon delicious, and the oj tastes great and is ice cold. The service here is ok. They are pretty good about refills, and relatively friendly. A thumbs up all the way. read more

All Jerry Bob's are not created equally. There's one at Prince and Campbell that I will never set foot in again. But this one on Speedway is pretty good -- even the coffee! The "Huevos Garcia" is my pick: 2 eggs on green peppers & onions mixed w/hash browns + cheese. I order it without salsa or tortillas and it is fresh and crisp. The crowd sitting out front on weekend mornings is a testament to their tasty victuals. Fear not, the wait is never long, yet another testament, this time to their efficient service. read more

Came for the all-you-can-eat catfish. Mediocre at best. Served chum style, not filets, tepid temperature, okre was undercooked. The best partnof the meal was the coleslaw. Won't recommend eating here and won't be back. read more

Best catfish in the Southwest. They even have fried okra to go with it. Just wish they had hush puppies.

This was my first trip to Jerry Bob's and I was quite impressed. I arrived there at about 9 a.m. and the place was very busy. I thought that I would have to wait for quite some time to be served because of the amount of people in the restaurant. To my surprise, my waitress was at my table in less than two minutes. My breakfast was served about five minutes after I placed my order. I am impressed by the portion sizes of the meals served at Jerry Bob's. I certainly didn't go away hungry. I was also impressed by the cost of the meal. If you go to a chain restaurant in the area you will pay 3 or 4 dollars more for a comparable breakfast. My waitress was a very polite young lady. She was the most polite waitress that I've ever had at any restaurant and my cup of coffee was constantly refilled without having to ask for a refill. Jerry Bob's is a friendly , clean, affordable down home kind of restaurant. I will definitely go back to Jerry Bob's in the future . Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Came in for the fish fry. It was delicious little cat fish nuggets. You get two sides the frys had good seasoning and the slaw was fresh crispy and very yummy. My wife had the fried okra and that was delicious as well. Did i mention it was only 9.99 all you can eat another bonus. This place has never disappointed us. The service was amazing as well. Felicity was our server and she was very pleasant. Knows the menu and kept checking on us and made sure we had everything wee needed. Five star's on the service as well. read more

In the mood for hot piping breakfast to keep you full...? Then Jerry Bob's is it! They have the absolutely best breakfast I've had in a while. My wife asked for super crispy but not overly crispy hash browns and they made it perfectly. A definite plus for her. The price was decent and you can eat well for a little price. Love how clean & homey feeling this place is. Definitely could enjoy any meal of the day read more

I had heard how good the food was and wanted to give it a try. The restaurant was extremely busy on a Sunday morning; however, we didn't have to wait for a table. I ordered the short stack of pancakes and a side of hashed browns. The pancakes were decent, but cooked with too much oil for my taste. They were a little on the heavy side. The hashed browns were good. The waitress was came by and refilled our coffee. Overall, I think it's a good place for breakfast. read more

Jerry Bob's - Just a glance to what's on the menu....tonight I'll be going with the Tex Mex. I can't wait - Sandwiches Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My daughter and I ate here on a Friday evening, I had the catfish and my daughter had steak. We should have stuck with the breakfast menu, the catfish tasted like it came out of a box and even though my daughter's steak was cooked medium rare as ordered, it had no flavor to it. I was looking forward to my ear of corn on the cob, but was very disappointed when I bit into it and it was extremely over cooked. On a positive note, our waitress was very friendly and kept our drinks filled. read more

First time eating here. Food is ready good and service is goo also. The catfish was great and prices are reasonable. I will be back.

Nice cozy no-frills diner. Wait staff is friendly and fast. Everything's good, but my favorite thing is the overstuffed breakfast burrito. Best thing is the price! read more

This is an excellent place for what I call 'diner food'. Not to be looked down on, this is good home cooking in a relaxed atmosphere with a friendly staff at very reasonable prices. Always good as a fall back, or an early morning, or a quick meal location. Staff is extremely friendly. read more

Came in for a late breakfast. They all are slightly different since they are owned by different people. Never been to this location before, so I was excited to see how this one was. I ordered the chorizo and eggs breakfast plate. Service was nice, and my waitress was the nicest lady ever. Location was simple, and your standard dinner layout. Food came out fast and it was quite tasty. Portion size was nice as well, I was stuffed, and price was perfect for the amount of food I got. Over alI enjoyed my experience here, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back. The only reason they don't get a perfect rating is because I had to ask a couple of times to have my drink refilled. read more
