I can't believe I've lived in Tucson this long and am just now making it to The Oink Cafe - what a miss on my part! Met a friend for brunch and had such a great experience from start to finish. The dining area is spacious, there's plenty of patio seating, and even though it was busy on a Saturday, we somehow lucked into a table with no wait. It ended up being the perfect spot to relax, eat, and actually catch up without feeling rushed. The menu is pretty expansive (in the best way), so it took me a minute to decide, but I went with the Breakfast Chimi from the Oink Specialties and WOW... it was AMAZING!! The churro cheese sauce was next-level delicious, and everything inside was cooked perfectly and super well-balanced. I paired it with a side of fruit and loved that it wasn't just the usual basics, the blueberries and mandarin oranges were a nice touch. I also couldn't skip one of their signature items, the 1/2 bacon flight. We tried Applewood Smoked, Honey Cured, Hickory, and Chef's Choice (which was Jalapeño Ranch). Every single one had that perfect balance of crispy and chewy. My favorites were a tie between the Applewood Smoked (classic bacon, can't go wrong) and the Hickory (super savory with great depth). m so bummed I forgot our server's name because he was fantastic - super attentive, kept the refills coming while we sat and talked, and just made the whole experience even better. Prices felt really fair for the quality and portion sizes, and overall it was just a great brunch spot. Safe to say I'll definitely be back now that I've finally discovered this place!
Ritual Decaf Coffee used for house pours. Strong dark brew with yummy creaminess. 5/5 for a Decaf! Great Brekkie & lunch choices, bennies, waffles, pancakes, Sammie's and salads. House Bacon has 5 choices - got Applewood on my $13.99 2 egger hash browns, toast--wheat, like multi grain had got very soggy pre-buttered. Brittany our waitress kindly brought a fresh dry slice as originally ordered, butter side, but not a vast improvement for true fresh baked bread fans haha, so the. she even let me try a biscuit in addition, she's a great server! Biscuits are tall but soft bready, like a warmed roll, not flaky, very edible though!. Huge grilled Chix breast smothered with cool creamy guac, roasted green chile and hubby opted for Jalapeno Bacon...wow that's spicy hot in the bite I sampled! Crispy (frozen) fries, a huge portion served nicely on a half pan baking sheet. Very enjoyable stop esp with the patio screened with artificial greenery adding a more peaceful dining experience despite abuttubg Broadway traffic. Inside was darker and ac cool in contrast, a downgrade on such a bright and beautiful 78° sunny spring day. Arriving at 1PM an hr before close, it was a definite slower period which suited us just fine, 1 other table on the patio and several tables filled inside. Full bar for topping up your ABV dial the morning after haha includes a Bloody Mary & Signature Cocktail menus. With a few more workouts, can fill my Oink points to visit again :D
I haven't been to Oink in forever but it's just as good as I last remembered it! Our server was so kind and attentive, the green booths are my favorite to sit in as well. I got the breakfast nachos and an iced white mocha, I usually don't get coffee from restaurants as I'm usually left disappointed but if you enjoy something on the sweeter side you will not go wrong with this!
*Bacon flight *Candied bacon * If you are still reading because the above was not enough to convince you to check this place out.. * Menu with something for everyone * Adult libations available * Indoors and shaded outdoor seating (great when you have your puppers with you * I got the special which was a steak and egg with rosemary potatoes ( if you have the option of rosemary potatoes there... pick them... so delicious). The steak was seasoned with their prime rib rub and was so aromatic and tasty. *Dining mate got the carne asada and eggs and found the carne asada well marinated in flavor. *The hash browns were our least favorite given that everything else was seasoned and the plain hash browns just couldn't compete * Almost every time we have been here it has been busy and there is generally a wait on weekends... but they do move tables relatively quickly. * Lots of parking as it's in a small shopping mall space. * And bacon. Not a lot of places in Tucson where (if any) you get to order a bacon flight.
Josh was an amazing server. He made the experience a five star experience for sure! Great food. Clean and comfortable atmosphere.
Oink has a really cozy feel, and the large patio seating is a huge plus--plenty of space and a nice atmosphere. Inside, the layout is a bit awkward if you're in a booth with a bigger group. The booths make it tough to talk to anyone who isn't sitting right next to you, and the restaurant gets pretty loud, so conversations can be a challenge. That said, the servers were super friendly, and the food was genuinely good. Overall, it's a nice spot with solid food and great service, just be prepared for a noisier dining room and limited conversation if you're seated in a large 5 person booth.
Friday am mid morning I was buying breakfast or lunch for my cattle rancher friend who was helping me pick up a car . His choice , wanted to try Oink Cafe. With trepidation I made a couple other suggestions ( Baja & Fridas ) based on trusted Yelp friend's review of Oink . He insisted he wanted to try Oink Cafe heard good things, ok. Arriving to a large L shaped restaurant with patio & open kitchen with counter we two were seated at a booth for 10 easily . Scanning a big menu he chose a basic eggs , hash browns & bacon ( 8 choices of bacon flavors at least ?) which he said the bacon was thick & enjoyed . I tried the Oink" 5 egg omelette , with hash browns & large biscuit . It was loaded with everything but " the kitchen sink " . I couldn't finish the omelette it was large ! I was impressed with the biscuit with honey , large , fresh and would consider with biscuits & gravy maybe t even chicken fried steak if I was so daring . The service was efficient , attentive , & became more friendly closer to leaving the bill . After ordering I asked to keep the menu to take pics for a Yelp review & server said , " Only if you leave a good review ". That said, my friend was satisfied, we didn't have to wait for a booth , I had more than I could eat , most of all my friend helping me with a ride was happy . I would suggest some attention to the men's room . Oink ! Oink ! To consider for breakfast , lunch ,or brunch . Broadway & Kolb ne near In n Out ..
Did the French toast meal it was amazing even tried their sugar bacon it was all delicious server was super nice and next time I come to Tucson I will come back.
I really wanted to love this place. We chose Oink for brunch (they also serve lunch), and as someone who loves bacon, this was very much my idea. I had been eyeing their menu for a while and was genuinely excited to finally try it. I came with friends, hungry and optimistic. When we arrived, the patio was fairly empty, and I did ask to sit outside. We still had to wait, which made me think they were likely short-staffed. Honestly, I understand that better to wait than sit forever without service, so I wasn't upset, just making a mental note. Once seated, we started with coffee and orange juice. The orange juice was excellent it tasted very fresh, possibly freshly squeezed, and was one of the highlights. The coffee was just standard black coffee; nothing remarkable, but also no complaints. For food, we ordered the bacon flight (eight flavors), the Oink French toast, and the pork confit omelet. The food itself? Genuinely delicious. The French toast was outstanding, perfectly crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, topped with whipped cream, blueberries, and strawberries. It also comes with your choice of meat, and I chose sausage links. They were fantastic, with a subtle maple flavor that really worked. The bacon flight was a lot of fun. I tried about half of the flavors, and the jalapeño bacon, peppered bacon, and a sugar-coated option were standouts. If you love bacon, this part of the menu delivers. Then I tried a bite of the pork confit omelet, eggs, pork, cheese, and that red sauce all in one bite and I was raving. I thought it was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. And then... reality hit. I looked at my friend and immediately knew something was wrong. Turns out, at the bottom of the omelet, there was a long, dark hair wrapped underneath the food and sticking out. It was very clearly not his (he's bald), and it was impossible to ignore once seen. You can actually see it in the photo. That one detail completely derailed what had been an otherwise excellent experience. We let the staff know. The plate was taken back, and someone later came by to ask if he wanted it remade, which he agreed to. He apologized. The omelet was remade, but that was the end of the conversation no follow-up beyond that. It felt disconnected, like the issue was handled mechanically rather than thoughtfully. Because of that, I can't give this place five stars, even though the food tasted amazing. I'm honestly disappointed, because this could have been a favorite. Instead, I'm left with mixed feelings and a lot of hesitation about returning. Great flavors, strong menu, but one very avoidable issue and the way it was handled changed everything.
Came on a busy busy Sunday morning, we sat at the bar, which was awesome. The manger noticed we hadn't been helped yet so promptly came over and made us drinks and took our order. Our server Christie was slammed but made us feel prioritized and gave us great service even though she had big parities and the bar. The mimosa flights was amazing, my fiancée loved the daddy's medicine, and the food was awesome and the chorizo cheese sauce was out of this world. Will come back
Came in today with the family , sat outside with a party of 15. Our server was great-didn't refill coffee as much as we needed. Thought 8 bacon slices for $17 was quite high. My omelette was decent nothing to return for, home fries were the best. My husband ordered double bacon, sausage cheese burrito-not much bacon a piece here and there. Spent $255+ I guess it's a place to return n try their specialties, but otherwise it's an okay place.

I got a pick up order for biscuits and gravy. Service was attentive and friendly. I was offered water while waiting which I appreciated! Biscuits and gravy was okay. The gravy separated a little which was off putting bc of the texture. Taste was decent. The biscuits themselves were delicious! I also got a donut to go which was also just okay. In restaurant it's a really awesome experience but taking it home wasn't the same! read more

I really enjoy eating at this place. They have the best gluten-free pancakes in town, every kind of bacon you can imagine and gluten-free French toast! Their mimosas are delicious. The service is always really good and it has a lively atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor dining. There's a huge parking lot and located right on the corner of Kolb and Broadway so it's easy to get to. All in all, Oink is a solid choice for breakfast, brunch or lunch. read more

Food and service are always amazing, and to me that's what I'm looking for when i go out to eat. I got the half bacon flight with two eggs would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great experience. read more
We've stopped here almost every time when we are in Tucson and have never been disappointed. This time around we had the Huevos Rancheros which were pretty fantastic; bottom layer is a corn tortilla, then a flower tortilla, beans, eggs, ranchero sauce topped by a healthy serving of cheese. I ordered a side of their Apple wood smoked bacon...fantastic. Great place for breakfast and don't worry if you "oink" out! read more
The 4 of us stopped in on a whim based purely on the name of the restaurant we'd seen driving by. Brunch foods were served up hot and fresh, portions were huge. We could have split a plate but opted to try different items. Glad we did so we could taste a variety of foods on the menu. We will put this on the list of places to go next winter while "wintering warm". read more

This place was great! I love that they had Bloody Mary flights because this is my favorite alcoholic beverage. They also do mimosa flights. The drinks were delicious and we also had the strawberry cheesecake pancakes which were to die for! We sat at the bar, and received excellent service even though they were super busy. They even sell tshirts, mugs, and other cute things inside. read more

Check out their breakfast menu especially their corn beef dish with a side of eggs, potato and English muffins. There's ample parking and indoor seating. The place is popular so get in early to avoid the crowd. There's bar seating as well so a party of one can be accommodated as well. There's merch such as T-shirts being sold if you're interested. Definitely a great place for family and friends to enjoy a meal. read more
Ok. I anticipated another mediocre breakfast. But I'm sorry, my egg sandwich was by far better then even my homemade. Yum! Service is amazing and bartenders make an amazing Verde Mary. I love this place for breakfast. It's never too long of a wait and the booths are ample sized. Highly recommend! read more

Food was on point, delicious and visually appealing. The service started off slow but after more servers arrived it went smoothly. It's an adorable experience, lighting was a bit too dim inside but otherwise all around pleasant. There's also an inviting outside seating area. Will for sure be coming back. We tried the Bloody Mary flight, pork belly, French toast and pigs in a blanket. Big portions and I would say well worth it!! read more
Sometimes early early 2010s memes have a good point, such as in this bacon-focused brunch spot. The service was prompt despite being new years day. The pork confit Benedict was good and they had a variety of bacons for a flight. Overall an indulgent way to nurse a hangover. read more
