    Chicken Fried Steak
    Natalie S.

    We love Triple T, it is our most reliable breakfast spot in the Tucson area and open serving breakfast late night. They keep your coffee cup full, the service is always great, and we get a kick out of this restaurant being in a truck stop. We can't wait to see how the new owners continue to build this place up!

    We had not been here for at least 8+ years but after perusing reviews hit it up for some breakfast. They've completely given it a makeover since we were last here an it looked very clean with a more sleek diner vibe (vs truck stop). Friendly and welcoming service throughout our meal and prices were reasonable for the large portions.

    Huge chocolate cake.

    They no longer have fried chicken and it seems like their menu is much smaller. So I have to give the TTT Burrito a try.

    Prime rib French dip with cole slaw
    Angela A.

    The food was good! High quality and prepared well. We had the prime rib French dip with cole slaw and a TTT omelette, and both were yummy. Prices were a bit on the high side but it's common nowadays. Service was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our lunch here.

    I must have come on an off day as the experience I had here was really bad. We got there around 5:45pm and didn't leave until around 7:30pm. The service was so incredibly slow. There were only two waitresses on the floor and the place was only half full. It took almost 30 minutes before our order was finally taken. Then it took another almost 40 minutes to get our food. I ordered the classic breakfast with eggs over easy, sausage patties, hashbrowns and a side of country gravy. The entire meal was flavorless except for the sausage patties. The gravy tasted like flour and looked like it had lumps of flour in it. The eggs and hashbrowns had no flavor and adding the gravy on top made it worse. I actually added salt to my food which I never usually do. I can say the place is clean but that's about it. There were no apologies for the long wait times or anything else. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

    This place was EVERYTHING. Quite literally. Motel/Truck Stop/Gift Store/Diner/Arcade/Candy Castle/Probably More??? It left nothing to the imagination in the best way possible. Came for the diner, left with a great experience. The diner was absolutely amazing. 12/10 service from every single staff member. They were just fantastic! The food was amazing. I love that they are keeping this old vintage place alive and thriving. Will 1000% be back.

    Chicken fried steak breakfast
    Kathryn W.

    One of my absolute favorite long time Tucson gem's just off the freeway at I-10 and Craycroft is perfect for any occasion. The breakfast chicken fried steak is hands down my favorite meal there. But the burgers, dinner chicken fried steak and pie tower are also not to be missed. The did a huge remodel and also have a full bar now and the whole place is brighter and cuter. Safe always fast and friendly. Also check out the huge candy counter featuring treats from today and Yester-year!

    Chimichanga enchilada style

    HUGE PORTIONS! I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Their menu is huge and has a bit of everything. I was craving Mexican food, so of course I got some. It was very Americanized, I could tell the taco shells were from the store and the refried beans were from a can. It was all still very good! I had no complaints. Others at my table got breakfast food, sandwiches, and chicken tenders. Everything turned out good and was large. Dessert was huge and delicious! Big enough for 3 people. They even have a full bar here! My boyfriend said the bathrooms weren't the cleanest, unfortunately.

    Candy corner

    Located inside the iconic TTT Truck Stop (sign easily seen from I-10), this restaurant has surprisingly good food. They serve large portions of comfort food and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day (and they have alcoholic drinks too). They have cute diner booths and a little candy counter with some nostalgic candy bars which you can add to your bill. You seat yourself and server comes over and takes care of you. The bill is brought out and you can use the QR code to pay your bill. The bill was a bit of a sticker shock for four people eating at a truck stop which added up to $90 for lunch!!

    Wow! Blueberry deep-dish pie
    Soni C.

    We stopped in for a slice of pie today, and ended up with a deep-dish each! Debbie was our server and she wrapped the visit with sunshine! We'll definetly return--the rest of the menu looked delish!!!

It was a perfect place to meet someone who had just flown in to TIA. It's a short drive over from the airport with lots of comfortable booths, and plenty of free parking. Our server Justin, was awesome - super friendly, and understood from the get-go that we would be hanging out for a few hours, waiting for someone else's flight to arrive. The food and drink selections were plentiful, and the place went from being relatively quiet to hopping with customers of all ages, to quiet again. Justin handled all the tables, making sure to check on us, too. Before we left, we complimented his ability to multitask with such an upbeat attitude - always smiling - which added to how much we enjoyed our experience. We ordered the hummus plate, the salmon entree, and the apple pecan salad and all were delicious. Definitely a great place to consider for a meal when picking up hungry travelers, or for a satisfying meal when arriving to Tucson hungry with no idea where to find decent options. ¡Gracias, Justin, and SOL!

Chips, salsa, Guacamole and SOL tacos should take no more than 10-15 minutes. Asking to top off waters was a real test of skills. Salsa is spicy. Don't say you weren't warned. I thought it was good but my friend, not so much. She said the Guacamole was also spicy. The beef on the tacos was crunchy. That was a first. Interesting clientele... I suppose because we're by an airport, in a hotel, that all those things play a big part. Food - mediocre. Ambience - it's a bar/restaurant, not much more to say. Service - well I'll say the place appears to be understaffed.

I'm not usually a fan of having my burger smashed but this one was hitting the spot. It had a slice of American cheese and their cowpig sauce. Very tasty I must say. I found myself dipping it in more sauce. The fries were perfectly crispy, they kinda remind me of McDee's fries and were just as good. The tendy was huge and crunchy and served with a side of ranch and cowpig sauce. I also enjoyed the "jams" they were playing. It was some old school 80's and 90's hip hop and R&B bangers. The bar itself is very small but you can sit out in the back if you need more space. Although I didn't drink this time, it appeared that they had some really good beers on tap as well. Next time I'll will have to grab a few.

Definitely a must try. My fiancé got the seafood paella and honestly, neither of us enjoyed it. Very bland, like seafood with no sauce at all. Not for us, but that is just our opinion. All in all, the French onion soup steals the show and the staff makes the experience excellent. Great job.
