    Red chili ( $6) fry bread
    Stephanie C.

    Delicious! I am always looking for a authentic fry bread stand . I am Native American but I do live in Marana . Unfortunately, I haven't learned to make this delicacy due to my late father passing without passing on his recipe. This Hands down is one of the best fried bread I have ever had. The dough is lightly fried there is no heavy dense texture To the bread. Light fluffy but able to hold on to the hardiness of the red chili. The red chili was marinated and well seasoned. Tasting it took me back to being in New Mexico eating red chili with my family. To have a sensation where you can recall an emotion while eating food it's a very amazing feeling. I am so glad I found Mona's fry bread . The coolest part was letting my husband taste something I grew up with he's a fan of the powdered sugar and honey combination. We will be back again very very soon!

    This fry bread is delicious, way better than I've had at any fair. You order at the stand and then they ask you to wait in your car and bring it out to you when its ready. I have only had the combo fry bread, like a Navajo taco. But I can't wait to try one with honey and powdered sugar next time.

    So delicious! This fry bread is the real deal. Not greasy and the perfect size portion.

It's a small, clean restaurant with about 9 tables, and the service is impressively fast. The owner, Andy, is hands-on and personally makes sure everyone is enjoying their meal, which adds a great local feel. The Food * Street Dumplings (Fried): We started with these as an appetizer--absolutely delicious! * House Special Chow Mein: My husband really enjoyed this; it was flavorful , good for two and well-prepared * Vermicelli Salad with Chicken: refreshing and colorful dish that balances warm, savory grilled chicken with cold rice vermicelli noodles, crisp raw vegetables, and a zesty, light dressing. Atmosphere & Service Even though it's a smaller space, it's very popular. I noticed a constant stream of "to-go" orders and delivery drivers picking up, which is always a good sign that the locals love it. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. Highly recommended!

We opted to sit outside to watch the sunset but it's a bit hard to see from the direction their patio sits, but still beautiful. Service started off friendly enough but sometimes the responses from our waiter came off as condescending and not friendly. Food was good and so was the cocktail I had (Gila Monster.) We will be back to try more of their dishes and hopefully we'll get a friendlier waiter. P.S. It would have been a nice touch if they acknowledged my husband's birthday as I had mentioned it when I made the reservation, but they didn't. I would have given 3.5 stars based on the two misses but YELP doesn't allow for half stars and since the food and ambiance was very good, I'm opting for 4 stars. I'll come back and provide another review soon.

We got there and there were no low top tables available inside (needed a high chair), so we had to sit outside. It was completely empty outside. The hostess led us to a table and chairs that were soaked by the misters. She acted like it was fine. There was only one other low top outside. We went to it and there were tons of red ants crawling all around the ground and up the table and chair legs. Also a bunch of leaves and debris. The whole time going from table 1 to table 2, then noticing and commenting on the ants, the hostess was right there. No apology or attempt to clean anything up. Just standing there awkwardly, watching us take in the disappointment. It was clear the outside was not cleaned or even looked at in quite some time, and that would not change, so we left. We went to Lil Abners instead. As soon as we got there, we realized our terrible experience at Growlers was a blessing in disguise. The drink deals are better and cheaper at Lil Abners anyway. Plus, despite a staff of mostly high school and college age kids, they actually do a good job of making sure you have a good experience. And of course, the food is a million times better. So long Growlers. We won't be back.

We ORDERED : Buffalo Tacos - meat is tender and juicy . I do feel that there is too many condiments and it takes away from the taste of the meat . But still good . Crispy rice - spicy tuna was perfection . Not too spicy it's one of my daughter's favorite new meals they added. Dirty martini - not worth $28 ( Tito's vodka) I should have bought one of there special cocktails instead. FYI CASTAWAY is amazing ! Hamachi Aguachile- fish was fresh but the lime marinade lacked flavor . Still good but could've been better. SERVICE - our waiter was not very attentive . It seemed he had too many tables.

    This is my favorite Baggin's location! It is conveniently located right off the I-10 (Cortaro Road…read moreexit), so it is a great place to stop for lunch either on the way in or out of Tucson. The manager at this location is so welcoming! He is always there at lunchtime with free cookies for all who walk in the door. The chocolate chip cookies that he hands out (and that also come with your sandwich) are freshly made daily. They are wonderful! My go-to sandwich is the tuna sandwich. I typically get it on a sub roll, served with a side of the honey mustard for dipping. The honey mustard costs a bit extra, but it's so delicious! Some of my other go-to favorites are the cinnamon spiced iced tea (they also have regular unsweetened iced tea for those that do not like the cinnamon spice) and the brownie. Sometimes I will get the brownie to go and eat it on the car ride back to Phoenix.

It came with a cookie, not really wanting a cookie, so, not sure what part of the $15 that was for. The sourdough was a smallish loaf slice, the filling (chicken bacon tarragon) was skimpy & there was almost no avocado in sight. My pictures tell the story of what felt like not a good value. Won't be coming back as this is my 3rd or 4th visit over the years and the value proposition keeps getting worse. Either make your sandwich larger, or your price smaller. I was on the phone with my daughter who lives in trendy part of NYC & when she heard was I ordered and saw the pic, she was shocked (not in a good way). Not sure why every business thinks their food is worthy of $20 lunch per person when I can go to other restaurants within a stone's throw & not leave hungry for the same or less. Service: 2 stars. You stand in line, they call your name when it's ready. Ambiance: 3 stars. It's okay. Clean & tidy. Food: If I'm being generous, 3 stars. Value: 2 stars TLDR: Arizona small chain with kinda high prices for what you get. Not awful, just not worth it.
