YUM! Went for the 2nd time last Saturday because we were…read more(intentionally) in the area and it was as good as the first time! First time, we had fried catfish and jerk chicken. Catfish was crispy and perfectly fried, jerk chicken had all the right seasonings and was moist and spicy, but not overly so. Sides were tasty, too, especially the rice and peas, you could taste all the time and coconut milk. Sooo good and it's nice to see the herbs used so well! Second time we had the oxtail ( huge pieces) and the fried chicken. The oxtail was rich and delicious. The fried chicken was also super crispy and very juicy, even the white meat! Again the rice and peas. Had those wonderful flavors and my husband who loves cabbage loved the stewed cabbaged. The mac and cheese was gooey goodness. The owner is absolutely delightful as were the two women who were working with her that day. It's a small family place, so be patient with service and you will be richly rewarded! .

Did I just find my new favorite breakfast spot in Tucson, and by accident no less? Quite possibly…read moreyes! Was actually planning to go to a different restaurant for breakfast, but it's closed on Sundays, so me and a friend pivoted here. We waited no longer than 10 minutes and were greeted by a kind host, who seated us at the counter, giving us a fun view into the kitchen and view of the bar and prep area. Our remarkable service continued, as the waitress was attentive, pleasant, and gave us recommendations on some of her and regulars' favorites. After getting a cup of coffee, we shared a fluffy, tender cinnamon roll to start. I then chased it down with the 2 Egg and Bacon breakfast. Ordered my bacon and hash browns extra crispy and let me just say...WOW! I have been an avid frequenter of Baja Cafe and Bobo's for years, but Bread & Butter Cafe may have them both beat! Looking forward to my return visit SOON!

My friend, came into town from Cochise County and wanted to go to listen to jazz at Brother John's…read moresince it was Sunday afternoon. This restaurant has jazz every Sunday afternoon from 2-5p.m. Absolutely incredible musicians and singer! The crowd was festively dressed and happy and truly enjoying this music. We got shareable appetizers, the burnt end nachos with brisket and fried buffalo cauliflower florets with ranch dressing. Both delicious!! I had the Old Forester 1920 whiskey- 1 Oz and that was plenty! The bartender served us water as well as we had sat up at bar. The was professional and quite efficient. Before we left, I asked bartender what I could get to bring home for my dog- thinking he would laugh at me, but he told me he does same for his dog and that he eats better than him. We laughed when I said "same!" He suggested the tacos and would separate out the pulled pork from the onions, cotija cheese and jalapeños- and did! Kai loved that I brought her home "tacos!"Thank you for a great afternoon, Brother John's!!

The move to counter service completely changed the vibe of this restaurant, and not for the better…read more Service used to be the biggest highlight, and now it feels like you're paying the same prices for a much lower level of attention. As someone who frequented this restaurant for the last few years, I had a firsthand look at how things were run, and in my experience management operated very unprofessionally. It ultimately pushed me to stop supporting this business, and based on those experiences, I can no longer recommend it. There are far better BBQ options out there. From what I personally witnessed, the owner, David, was consistently disrespectful toward employees and created a company culture that I don't believe deserves support. Also important to note that there is something up with the drains/ sewer system in this building and about once a week the entire dining room smells like a sewer leak.. gross

Second NOTE: bread costs extra but we didn't know until the bill came ($8) and both of us felt it was uncool - after ordering entrees our waiter asked if we would like some bread. We nodded yes and I joked that it wasn't on the menu (see pic). He laughed and agreed but then never disclosed that it was considered a paid appetizer. I agree with others who flagged this in their review. It felt ickily deceptive. We had tickets to a Sat night play and opted here for pre-show dinner, making those reservations about a week in advance. Upon entry we were greeted by a not-charming host (50-something slender male, whom others here have dinged for the same failing engagement). The interior of this historical venue is beautifully accentuated by it's just-right dim lighting. In the event that proximity could be an issue for anyone, tables are bordering on uncomfortably close - both in terms of reach and conversational privacy. The rotating menu is a delight and on this October evening provided us each with something we could crave: Apricot Duck Cavatelli ($38/entree size) and Pernod Glazed Flank Steak ($46). The duck edged out the flank as our favorite between the two - the noodles were perfectly al dente and there was sufficient (shredded) duck throughout. The flank (one of my favorite cuts, ahead of even ribeye and filet) was perfectly seared to medium and accompanied brilliantly by leek/potato mash. Our lone complaint was identical and that is that the peppercorn gravy, which was too peppercorn-y and abundant with its liquid, stole half the flavor and sear from the bottom of the (excellent) flank. Our waiter also had a couple of unusually long absences but was otherwise very good when attending. Parking is free and plentiful in their private light about 75 feet around the back from the entrance. FYI, the lot is dirt/gravel, in case anyone is wearing heels or it's raining (as it was on our visit) but pulling the car to the front to get your guest is easy too!

Beautiful restaurant with wonderful service…read more We stopped by for dinner without realizing it was Sonoran Restaurant Week. We decided to take advantage of the special menu, and we were pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavors! The Brussels sprouts were delicious, and the pork belly was absolutely scrumptious. The steak had great flavor, although it was a little overcooked. The chocolate almond cake, unfortunately, wasn't particularly impressive. The Barrio bread with butter was amazing, and we loved their margaritas, especially the hibiscus margarita. Overall, a great dining experience with delicious food, excellent drinks, and wonderful service. Definitely worth a visit!

I had my blood orange wheat and he had a milk stout. We sat on a comfy couch next to a large Bouganvilla shrub with nesting birds. Those birds kept buzzing over us. I enjoyed watching them. The inside is nicely decorated with solid wood tables and an extensive whiskey bar. The beer and wine list is also impressive. Service and ambiance were both very good, but the only thing I wish the place offered were misters for outside seating. We were the only ones outside and we are an older couple, so it wasn't economical to have any misters running.

The reservation was at 7 pm but when we arrived there was no available couch for us and the hostess didn't know what to do with us. Luckily we spotted some friends seated at one of the couches so we joined them. We ordered our food, enjoyed the band and the food. Even though it was extremely busy the waitstaff did an incredible job and the food arrived hot and quite delicious. Definitely would recommend the cheeseburger and the chicken fingers. Meanwhile I asked to speak to the manager so I could get a refund ( to reserve a couch I had to pay around $40). They refused to refund. I called them the next day and asked for a manager and he was happy to process a refund.

Bellied right up to the bar, got drinks and menus immediately, waited less than 5 minutes to order food, and food was out in less than 10 minutes after that. My husband ordered a patty melt and fries (amazing and the patty was cooked to a perfect rare) and I had a "girl lunch" salad with some of his fries. Michelle was absolutely wonderful and it was lovely talking to her and another patron (may have been the owner!) at the bar about Bisbee and Tombstone. We hope to be back for lunch on our return home - 10/10, would recommend!

So there are very few 5 star places in my opinion. Every time I have come here I have been…read morecompletely satisfied. My favorite is the meatloaf with vegetables. Minus the mushroom gravy. It really doesn't need it. They have a great selection of draft beers and cocktails. But the crown really is the sticky toffee pudding! Whatever you do save room for it. Or heck start with the it! Our servers have always been great and we were never left needing anything. The interior is intimate with red velvet booths, high backs for somewhat of a private setting. Definitely a hidden gem on the east side.

Time to go back and review. I like to revisit places after a few years and see what is different…read more Smoky Mo didn't disappoint. Places are successful because they stay the course and do what they do best. Today we went with the four meat platter, perfect amount for two people, brisket, pulled pork, turkey and sausage. With four side of coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad and cornbread. All meats are still sauced unless requested "on the side", but not so much to overwhelm the meat taste. Juicy flavorful pulled pork. Delicious smoked turkey. Brisket was just slightly dry but the sauce and nice bark made it enjoyable. The sausage was AMAZING, juicy and packed with flavor. Coleslaw in my opinion, could use a little more "wetness" but it was still delicious. What can I say about the mac and cheese and potato salad, people from the south, Texas to the Carolina's just know how to get it done. The "Texas Sweet Tea", if you are a diabetic do not drink, however this is a true southern tea, it's done the same all across the south, sugar with some tea thrown in. Four meats, four sides and two drinks with tip $50, not bad for two people, I've definitely spent more for food that didn't even come close to this. Once again Smoky Mo you did not disappoint. If you are a BBQ person this is STILL the best of Tucson. Get out and support this small local business!
