    *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.

    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!

    Oink Breakfast Chimi

    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 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.

    Had a wonderful experience my first time at Oink Cafe! Our server Brittany was attentive and had infectious energy. She was so friendly and patient, we couldn't have asked for better service. I got the Bloody Mary which was DELICIOUS! It came with a full slice of bacon and olives. It definitely is a contender for best in Tucson. I decided on the enchilada stuffed with pork confit, potatoes and eggs. It was covered in a savory cheesy sauce. Very yummy! But oh so heavy. IMO I only needed to order this once in a lifetime. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. I came with a friend to celebrate his birthday so they brought out a donut that was probably the best I've ever had. It was a soft cake donut that melted in your mouth soaked with maple syrup and covered in bacon. Absolutely divine. I'd come back just for that!!!!

    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 ..

    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

    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.

    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.

    Self explanatory much

There's a separate building you can buy local retail, as well as a café where I ordered a dirty Horchata (not realizing it had coffee lol), a sandwich with fries, and one of the baked desserts (a brownie with something I can't remember lol). All the food was great. As a french fry lover, I have to say that the fries were fantastic! Once you order, you're able to find a place to sit, and the food is brought to you. I would def return!

I also love that the menu strives to be locally sourced. The food is very fresh! The service from the counter is fairly fast, which was especially great for us, as we were short on time. This time ordered the Simply Eggy Breakfast. The marmalade was unique and the eggs were perfectly poached. The portions are standard, so there will likely be no leftovers. For the portions though, I would say the price is a little on the higher end. To finish my friend got a tahini brownie on the way out and we found it to be very pleasant and not overly sweet. I would love to try their coffees and teas!

I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town.

(well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

Pancakes, german pancakes, french toast, eggs benedict(s) monte cristo, omelets, croque madame, country chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy, chilaquiles con pollo, avocado toast, savory crepe, and even a breakfast pizza. Oh and they offer a few skillet options too-southwest, loaded baked potato, and sausage and peppers skillet. So many options!! I can't speak too much for lunch but I did see burgers on the menu. Not too helpful in that arena sorry. The eggs Benedict with ham was awesome. Side of potatoes with a bit of all seasoning and a side salad with awesome light dressing comes with it. The dutch baby was also great. A german pancake served savory with sausage. Huge portion. Come check this place out and make sure if you don't want to wait you call in advance when driving there and ask to get on their "wait list" you may not be able to get a reservation but you can do this.

One thing that stood out during that first visit was the hostess. Since the restaurant is located inside a hotel and can be a little difficult to find, I expected a more welcoming introduction or at least some confirmation that we were in the right place. Instead, the interaction felt a bit awkward and impersonal. We returned a few weeks later (07/12/26) and happened to be greeted by the same hostess. Unfortunately, the experience was very similar. She asked how many people were in our party, I said two, and then she simply looked at her computer without saying much else. Another employee eventually came over and escorted us to our table. Throughout both visits, she never came across as particularly friendly or welcoming. As the first person guests interact with, I think a hostess sets the tone for the entire experience, so this was disappointing. On a more positive note, our waitress was very kind and attentive throughout the meal. The service once we were seated was definitely better than the initial impression. As for the food, it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything special, especially considering the price. Overall, it felt pretty average for what we paid. The ambiance was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience was okay, but between the lack of hospitality at the front and the food being average for the price, I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back.
