Given the snug interior, the patio offers some extra seating al fresco, and it was busy on a Tuesday lunch. Small diner menu with some German offerings that lend that Alpine aire to compliment the treed mountain views from the back side of the restaurant. The Mountain Soul $18.10 that all us Fraus in the club seemed to embrace featured 2 tasty snappy brats, tart vinegar forward German tater salad, stewed red cabbage (oddly no sauerkraut), and a hunk of sweet corn kerneled cornbread, complete with the diner staple dispensers with the slider top honey globes on each table if more sweetness were needed. Hearty grub that, thus half+ came home making for a very tasty Round 2, that I popped into a Pretzel Dawg Bun, yum! Herr hubby as did most of the guys opted for a bowl of chili $17.07 with both chunks of beef and beans and was pretty tasty with medium heat and thickness. Sodas $4.65 are the most we've paid of late but feeding up a picturesque mountain comes at a cost haha. Our waitress was efficient during ordering and the food came out quickly for our large group of 25. However, our tab got messed up not really surprising given our size, but glad we caught it nonetheless. She was very apologetic and then packed us one of their beautiful specialty small pies to go, with our amended bill. Strawberry rhubarb, plenty for 2, flaky crust, very sweet though, so for those on sugar watch, this pie is not for you haha but sure to satisfy the pie lovers, and apple struedel is here of course too! Happy to support Mt Lemmon businesses and the Iron Door's charm is a worthwhile escape with a huge parking lot across the street. Come breathe in the cool mountain air and fill the belly with some scratch alpine cooking.

Ryan was our server and was extremely pleasant! I had the lemon strawberry drink, my sister had the prickly pear margarita, my brother had the spicy margarita. For dinner we ordered a burger with onion rings and the arugula pizza with Italian sausage and chicken. Chefs kiss on both! We love that the prices are so reasonable and the ambiance and service were excellent!

It might just be the best pho in Tucson. The broth is rich, aromatic, and layered in a way that only true Vietnamese cooking can deliver. I also love how many veggie-forward options they offer, making it super easy to dine here no matter your preferences. And the desserts? They carry several traditional Vietnamese sweets you rarely find in the States anymore--such a special treat and a total standout. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine that actually hits, Grain River is it. A must-try.

The tacos meat was under seasoned The margarita was delicious and on happy hour for 50% off from 4-6 The queso needed some green chiles and jalapeño, it tasted like American which cheese just melted. It needs garlic salt. (I would not recommend this unless it's for a kid.) The Birria tacos were good. The consommé had a sweet taste it which was a bit odd. The chile verde con carne I had was mid. It needed some spice and it looked terrible. I have had better. The beans were tasty and good with the chips. The rice was good but had some dry sections. I hope this place gets back to their glory days. It used to be better.

My husband and I go out to eat too much in my opinion; however, there are two of us in the house. I have posted good reviews and not so good reviews. Tonight is a great review of Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant. Carolina, the owner is always so welcoming and friendly. Tonight our server was Diego. He defines great service. He was not overboard with anything; however, anything we asked for came quickly and with a smile. I ordered the chicken fajitas and they were wonderful; although, for my taste a little salty. My husband had the ground beef burrito served smothered with red sauce. He said "Now this is what a burrito should taste like". The chips and salsas were plentiful and speaking of salsa they have brought it up a couple of notches. I mentioned this to Carolina and her comment was "do you remember our other salsa " I responded "yes, like ketchup". Her response was "yep, you remember the other salsa". This was Tuesday, April 28th and they were packed. No music except for the Mexican music on the speakers. Personally, I don't enjoy Craig who plays here a lot; although, perhaps many do. All I know is the food was great, the service was great and I truly hope you will all give them a try.

Both were big winners and just add to the pile of great menu items such as the juicy sliced brisket, the don't sleep on on it, thinking it's just an ordinary burger at a barbecue place, burger, because it, too, is delicious; the chili, the crispy yet fluffy French fries, and the tobacco onions (thinly sliced crispy onion rings perfectly seasoned). Well, on this last visit, the cod fish and chips was crispy and flaky and hot and delicious and boy those wings are excellent just naked with only the dry rub and no sauce. And we had a server we hadn't had before and she, too, did a great job with service - Lydia. Wow, that was a fun dining experience. It's not just the food, the service and the more than decent wine list that keep us coming back to Bubb's, it's also the warm and welcoming atmosphere and the feeling of true camaraderie and community we get at Bubb's. We're lucky to have this place in Catalina. Give them a visit it you haven't done so yet - you won't regret it.
