    When someone asks for a steak house recommendations in Tucson, this is usually one of the first places that pops up so ive always wanted to try it. I get why people like this place. It's not a fancy steak place but serves good quality meat.and the having salad bar is always nice. I love the South Western feel of this restaurant and it particularly felt nice coz I went there after watching the rodeo. Service is great and I do agree with many people that this place is a true Tucson staple that you have to try at least once.

    I could not make up my mind where I wanted to celebrate Mother's Day dinner, and of course I had not made a reservation anywhere. My kids have never been to Silver Saddle and I wanted to share this dining experience with them. I called to see if they were accepting walk ins. They said yes but unsure of the wait time depending on the time we arrive. We went to mass and heading over around 6pm. We had a 30 min wait and an amazing dinner and service! I love that it is still a rustic steakhouse with the open mesquite grill inside! The smell is so incredible. Our server was so nice and patient since we haven't been in over 20 years at least. Their menu has so many nice choices and depending on your meal it may include so many extras! We really enjoyed our chicken and steaks! They all were cooked to perfection! Baked potatoes were delicious along with the soup and fresh salad from their salad bar. Our dinner rolls were excellent too. Thank you for a memorable dinner with my family!

    A warm and rustic atmosphere was created inside the Silver Saddle Steakhouse and Tapadera Lounge. In keeping with old southwest tradition, a custom steel and brick mesquite wood grill and pit were built. An antique buggy wheel with welded horseshoes attached serve to raise the cooking grill to appropriate levels above the smoky mesquite wood fire. Burning Arizona's native mesquite wood lends an unmatched smoke flavor to the food, plus this amazing wood, while burning, can produce temperatures which can exceed 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, so we suggest that no one stand too close to our open fire. Excellent steaks, prepare to order. Service is top notch. Delicious tasting steaks. Thick and juicy! The place is clean and inviting. One of our favorite steak houses. Give it a try.

    We had an unexpected long visit to the nearby VA center and were starving and looking for something close by. I saw the sign for the steakhouse and that fit the bill. We knew we were getting something special with the throwback classic western steakhouse vibe, and seeing the fire pit grill sealed the deal! The Hubbs got the sampler and I got the bone-in ribeye special. Everything was fabulous. I love the yeasty soft pillows of rolls (they are not stingy about bringing more!) They have a decent salad bar, but we both opted for the French onion soup, which was cheesy good. My only suggestion is to add beef stock to the soup base as it was very pale - but still full of onion goodness. We ended up taking more than half our meals home, so although a little pricey, we got two meals out of it. Our server was great - very efficient. Refills on our water and lemonade appeared without asking. I love that! Lots of staff to remove soiled plates. Very nice. We will be back.

    We came here for dinner about 4:30 on a Friday night. A lot of customers were rocking cowboy hats and we even saw some boots with spurs. I ordered some drinks along with the 10 ounce NY strip steak. The steak comes with a trip to the salad bar, which was awesome. My steak arrived with a loaded baked potato and cowboy beans plus bread. My steak was cooked medium rare and think thy deliver it deliberately unseasoned so you can do it your self. I just added a dash of salt and it was perfect. The potato was delicious and the beans were super tasty. For $34 I received a lot of food, a steak any bigger would have been too much for me. The interior is no frills cowboy themed steakhouse. I shall return when in Tucson again.

    What a great place to eat if you live in Tucson or you're visiting like me. My aunt loves this place and I've never been before so why not? The steaks are cooked to order so it comes hot off the grill to your table and I love it! My steak was cooked medium rare and it was delicious. This restaurant has been around for 30 years I believe and it's worth every penny and worth the wait if there's a line. We went around 4pm and it shortly became packed inside, the service was great and fast. We left with our bellies full and no room for dessert. It is an older restaurant so the booths are made for smaller sized people, so if you are a little chunky definitely sit at a table. They have a bar area as well, and they have plenty of space for large parties, if you do have a party of 5 or more call or go online to make a reservation. I liked that the meal came with either a salad bar or a soup, I would've loved to eat more than one plate of salad but I'm glad I didn't because I got so much food. I had a baked potato, and a 10oz NY steak, it also came along with baked beans and dinner rolls. I highly recommend eating here you'll enjoy every bite of food. And come with an empty stomach.

    Bone in Ribeye not on the menu

    This is an old school Route 66 style western steak house. In business for decades and unchanged. Steaks cooked over an open mesquite wood fire , simple salad bar with real house made dressing (blue cheese A+) simple side of a well prepared baked potato and bread. Our server Faith was fantastic, with great recommendations and a convincing speech on why we should try the mud pie for dessert (we did). We had a T Bone and a bone in ribeye- cooked to absolute perfection my a real pit master. Tender and full of flavor, just needed the requisite salt and pepper for me. The have a shaker of the secret house seasoning on the table and it was great on the baked potato. This place is rough saw wood and black booths. Old west for sure. If you are looking for linen table clothes and table attendants, probably not your spot. Highly recommended. Hidden gem

    Best baked potato

    This place is **Exceptional**! Karen our server never missed a beat. Every trip to the table she never walked away empty handed. Even if it meant a piece of straw paper! She truly was the best. Management, take note & Clone her. Started with "Trio" app of Zucchini, mushrooms & onion rings. All great! Dinner was perfect. Perfectly cooked, served etc., even down to a *cold salad fork* the way it should be. Salad bar h ad such a great selection. My prime rib couldn't of been done any better. The T-Bone steak for my Wife, again cooked perfect! Baked potatoes were the bomb!! Fresh Scallions, sour cream & butter. Even the skins of the potato were done right! Rolls & butter, where do you get them? Outstanding! We took desserts home. Cheesecake & apple pie. Delish. Table $137+ Tip. Worth every penny & we'll be back for sure! Thanks so much!! Finally, great service, food and prices.

    I'm a local and I find it hard to get a good steak so usually just end up grilling one at home. But my friend and I wanted to try this place because we know it's iconic to Tucson and she wanted to take me out for my birthday. So we made reservations for Sunday when they opened for lunch, there was already a line at the door before they opened and it honestly didn't seem like they cared about the reservations they just sat everyone at that time. It's definitely a cowboy feel, if you've been to pinnacle peak id say the food and vibes are the same. Service was good! Never felt neglected and made sure we had our drinks refilled and food came out promptly We both ordered NY strip, baked potato loaded that included the bread and salad bar. The bread was actually REALLY Good I wish they gave more out or maybe they did and I didn't ask. The salad bar was very basic but they do seem to make their dressings in house. Let's get down to the main course, the steak now it was cooked to the correct temperature but when I say this is the most flavorless steak I've had I mean it. I'm pretty sure they just take the steak and cook it without any seasoning. The meat was tender and nice but seriously no seasoning. They do give you the ranch style beans which I don't really care for but the baked potato was nice and we got it loaded. Overall, it's very cowboy style and too bland for me. But I'm glad I finally got to try it.

    It's unfortunate that we came in today and the quality has just taken a nose dive. But I'll start with the service, and it was great. Very attentive, answered all our questions, and overall great. The prime rib was still great. My parents and I split a cowboy cut, and it was enough for all 3 of us. Bread still soft, fresh, and delicious. Now, where they fell short. Two steaks were rough and dry. The Sampler Trio was just meh. They looked well done, but tasted OK, however that looks an taste is indicative of old oil. You can see the difference from a few years back to today. My nieces mac and cheese was both luke warm, and bland. I don't know if that's by design for kids, but Stouffer's has better tasting Mac and cheese. Hell, IKEA does too. Beer served in a glass which felt like it was just cleaned, ie: WARM GLASSS. Overall, I know we'll be back here because the prime rib is still a winner, but everything else was just mediocre today.

    BBQ Beef Sandwich

    This was my first time trying this steakhouse, just off the freeway on a feeder road heading toward the airport -- so that should set the scene. The building looks like it's been around for a while, with lots of character, rugged décor, dark wood, and leather seating. Definitely has that old-school steakhouse vibe. Our server took our order and dropped off our food... and then completely disappeared. We didn't see him again, which was disappointing. You settle your bill at the front when you leave, so just a heads-up: don't accidentally dine and dash! We arrived after the lunch rush, so the place wasn't too busy, though a nearby group was celebrating a birthday and added fun energy. The menu is surprisingly extensive, and they even offer an all-you-can-eat salad bar with soup and beans, though we skipped it. I'm not a big steak eater, so I went with the Silver Saddle Cheddar Burger with no cheese. It had a strong open-flame grilled flavor and tasted like lean charbroiled patty--pretty delicious. My friend ordered the BBQ Beef sandwich with slaw. If you're looking for fancy plating or artisanal breads, this is not the spot. But if you want authentic, no-frills grill flavor, it's worth stopping by. If our server hadn't vanished, my rating would probably be higher.

    Ask the Community - Silver Saddle Steakhouse

    Is there patio seating?

    No it's indoor only

    Are there gluten-free options? Usually steakhouses have plenty of options but I wanted to be sure there is knowledge of cross-contamination (i.e. are fries safe or should we go with a different potato dish, are menus items marked GF, etc.).

    I would call the and ask. There was a lot of meat, potatoes, salads and good beans. I don't recall seeing GF on the menu, but I'm familiar with GF.

    Do they carry Pabst blue ribbon?

    I don't believe they do. Great wine list and lots of other beers including several microbrews

    How old is restaurant?

    Who cares? The roofs not falling in and all the employees are alive!

Regional styles like Memphis, Kansas City, Texas and others all have their own wonderful nuances. And while there isn't a distinct Arizona style, we're pretty good at throwin' something dead on the smoker here. And that's just what they do at The Bashful Bandit in Tucson. Their ribs and sausages are good. The brisket is lean, but very flavorful. I didn't get to try the chicken, but the highlight was the pulled pork. If there were an Arizona style BBQ it would be something like this. They cheat the competition rules, but I'm okay with that. They put some green chile in the pulled pork and it's an absolute killer. Not so killer was their coleslaw. It was as sour as the face on my ex-wife and as bland as the seggs we had before she broke up with me. And while I never had a side dish, the side dishes here (apart from the coleslaw) were all yummy. Really good mac and cheese, top shelf cowboy beans, and a potato salad that was dressed in dill and tasting mighty fine. Speaking of dressed, I like my BBQ naked, but if you need sauce (sissy) then go for the house sauce. Great flavor, just a little heat, and just a little sweet - very balanced. The spicy sauce was just okay and the mustard sauce might as well have just been French's Mustard from a two-dollar squirt bottle. Most importantly, while you're wiping the house sauce off your greasy lips, go back to the counter and do yourself a favor, order their appropriately and hilariously named "Smoked Crack Pie." It's an other worldly happy ending to your meal (didn't see that coming, didja?). This thing is a simple but genius dessert. They take a chocolate chip cookie covered in a vanilla custard topping and put it in the smoker. It's got a gooey consistency like a pecanless pecan pie and tastes like if your favorite brownie and crème brûlée had a baby (I'm honestly not sure how that would work...it's weird just to imagine the mechanics really...). Anyhow, don't be bashful, get to The Bashful Bandit in Midtown Tucson and git yerself a case of the meat sweats. You won't regret it.

    We've had Bashful Bandit a couple times now, both as catering at a party and a takeout dinner for a…read moresmall group. The highlights for me amongst their 'que are the chopped brisket, the Sonoran hot links (which definitely bring the heat!), and the smoked jackfruit. While I'm an omnivore, I really love that they have meatless options for when I'm not feeling like eating meat. I enjoyed their sides as well. The Sunflower Crunch Salad is a nice no-mayo coleslaw with seeds and fruit that give it some nice textural and flavor contrasts. The Dill Potato Salad is on the lighter side for a potato salad (this is a compliment), with some bright herbaciousness. The Mac & Cheese, by contrast, is super heavy and rich. They round out the plate nicely! The staff are friendly and quick to help adjust orders if there's something you wanted that they're out of.

My Uber driver was raving about it on the way over, which sealed the deal. While the cheap beer does require a food purchase, I was planning to eat anyway--no complaints there. I went with the 3-for-$11 taco deal and it was more than enough food. You get to choose between green or red salsa; I went with the green, which definitely has a nice kick. I asked the server if they could mix it up with two brisket tacos and one pork belly, and they were happy to accommodate. After reading some mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised--nothing was dry or overly fatty. Everything was flavorful and delicious. My total for four 10-oz beers and three tacos was just over $20, which is an incredible deal for the quality and amount of food and drink. I came to watch the U of A basketball game, and this place is perfect for it--plenty of TVs, tons of seating, and even space for large groups.

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
