Garlic bread
Mary S.

Meh, this was fine but I don't think I would go out of my way to go back. It seems like it's boxed pasta and for $30 to feed my husband, my daughter, and me, that seems a bit pricey. My husband and I each got the large pasta. I like how you can customize it to your preferences. My husband got penne with meat sauce and chicken parm. I got bow tie with meat sauce and a breaded chicken tender. We also got an order of the garlic bread. Overall, it was good but nothing special. I wasn't impressed by the meat sauce. The garlic bread was definitely the best part. The serving of pasta is pretty large--I had some leftover for lunch the next day. The ambiance could use a little love--just seemed kind of spare and sterile in a way. The best part was the kids' corner! My daughter loved playing with their selection of toys and books, so good work there! It's an order at the counter place and it was easy. Food took a little longer than I thought, esp because we were one of two patrons. Also if you go in the evening there's a huge west facing window with no window covering, so be ready to put your shades on.

Cheesy garlic bread
Michael H.

Took my daughter and her friend here for dinner. They both got the penne Alfredo ($7 bowl). My daughter's friend added the breaded chicken to her bowl. Both girls really enjoyed their bowls. I ended up ordering the cavatappi with creamy pesto sauce. At first glance it did not look like it had a lot of sauce. After I mixed it some I was happy with the pasta to sauce ratio. The pesto sauce is a $1 up charge. I did enjoy the flavor of the sauce and could taste the basil coming through. I had sausage added to the meal. We shared a cheesy garlic bread. It came out piping hot. Had to let it cool down before we cut it into smaller pieces. The garlic bread was served with a side of their marinara sauce. I found the marinate pretty flavorful and I enjoyed the chunks of tomato. We really enjoy the restaurant and will continue to order here.

Spaghetti with meat sauce + sausage for upcharge
Dusty T.

My family ordered food from here and it was a very mediocre experience. It feels like this restaurant was opened by entrepreneurs without the influence of a chef. It's like cafeteria food, moderate prices for small bland portions. It kind of feels like you're in a cafeteria with the ambiance as well. I hate to use such direct language because it doesn't seem like the owners have bad intentions, but it truly felt like a waste of money. As you can see from the photos, the amount of meat is terribly small for an upcharge, one mouthful at best. One single meatball, and one quarter of a sausage? Come on. Two stars because the young man running the front was great. Can't remember his name but he was the best thing about the place.

First time, but definaely not the last. Service was great, food even better. Place is clean and I've got nothing bad to say. Come enjoy

Great spot to bring kiddos with small play area to keep them busy. Service is quick and friendly. Food is very basic pick a pasta, sauce and a protein with options for salad and sandwiches. All items are at a great price point for this fast casual spot

Fairly priced and a clean facility. Very much a casual setting verging on commercial. Had a lot of kid friendly areas and games for a nice family meal. Pretty quick as well, just not the best options for those attempting to eat healthy. Generally it's simple, quick, and tasty. Not something I'd crave or go to regularly but convenient right next to Starbucks and Target.

Delicious meatball sandwhich! Homemade taste. The roll was especially good and crusty!
Gail C.

Delicious meatball sandwhich. Had that homemade taste. The roll was nice and crusty! Great prices. My only suggestion would be to soften the ambiance with some italian decor and lighting. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Build your own pasta, Meat ball sub

We paid $27 for all three items and we couldn't even finish!! Their service was quick and the food was hot when we picked it up ! There's games to play while you're eating I definitely would recommend trying it !!

Great cheesesteaks, great ambience and friendly people. The service is good and the food comes out…read morepretty quick. Lots of TVs. No matter where you sit you will have a good view of the game. Fountain drinks are easy to access with free refills included. I don't drink alcohol but if you do they have a full bar. Music selection was good but is a little loud last visit but remember it's a bar lol. Great place to grab some food and watch the game with your family and friends.

This was my first disappointing meal in Tucson. My friend and I drove out of our way to eat here…read moreafter a hike in Painted Hills. I was so disappointed when the cashier told me they were out of chicken. OUT OF CHICKEN?! It wasn't even 2pm yet and the Pats hadn't yet destroyed the Broncos and the cheesesteak place was out of chicken. If I hadn't been with my friend who was looking forward to his beef cheesesteak, I would have walked out. There are plenty other good places to eat on Ina Rd. I eventually ordered a 12 inch beef cheesesteak with shrooms, onions and sweet peppers. The cashier asked if I wanted jalapeños as well. I replied that they don't belong on a cheesesteak, not a real South Philly cheesesteak. My few shrooms and sweet peppers were an additional $3. Ouch. Peppers come with a real cheesesteak; there should not be an additional charge. Service was fast and the kitchen crew was especially efficient. Everyone working kept the place clean. Ambiance is also nice. It's got a Philly sport bar vibe to it, with Philly banners on the wall and TVs high up in all directions. There are also eight craft beers on tap but I had a $3.49 Coke Zero instead. When my insanely overpriced $23 chickenless cheesesteak arrived, I was again disappointed in the lack of flavor. I tasted no spice in the beef. The bread was not fresh, either. I should have ordered Cheese Wiz instead of natural Provolone because the chemicals in that orange concoction would have added some flavor My friend liked his cheesesteak but added that the place in Sierra Vista makes a much tastier cheesesteak than Frankies, for half the price. At least I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. If it weren't for the incredible kitchen crew and the fast service, this place would have gotten only two stars.

This is my favorite Baggin's location! It is conveniently located right off the I-10 (Cortaro Road…read moreexit), so it is a great place to stop for lunch either on the way in or out of Tucson. The manager at this location is so welcoming! He is always there at lunchtime with free cookies for all who walk in the door. The chocolate chip cookies that he hands out (and that also come with your sandwich) are freshly made daily. They are wonderful! My go-to sandwich is the tuna sandwich. I typically get it on a sub roll, served with a side of the honey mustard for dipping. The honey mustard costs a bit extra, but it's so delicious! Some of my other go-to favorites are the cinnamon spiced iced tea (they also have regular unsweetened iced tea for those that do not like the cinnamon spice) and the brownie. Sometimes I will get the brownie to go and eat it on the car ride back to Phoenix.

If my lunch was in the $10, maybe $12 range I might give it a better rating, but it was not a lot…read moreof sandwich for a hair under $15. It came with a cookie, not really wanting a cookie, so, not sure what part of the $15 that was for. The sourdough was a smallish loaf slice, the filling (chicken bacon tarragon) was skimpy & there was almost no avocado in sight. My pictures tell the story of what felt like not a good value. Won't be coming back as this is my 3rd or 4th visit over the years and the value proposition keeps getting worse. Either make your sandwich larger, or your price smaller. I was on the phone with my daughter who lives in trendy part of NYC & when she heard was I ordered and saw the pic, she was shocked (not in a good way). Not sure why every business thinks their food is worthy of $20 lunch per person when I can go to other restaurants within a stone's throw & not leave hungry for the same or less. Service: 2 stars. You stand in line, they call your name when it's ready. Ambiance: 3 stars. It's okay. Clean & tidy. Food: If I'm being generous, 3 stars. Value: 2 stars TLDR: Arizona small chain with kinda high prices for what you get. Not awful, just not worth it.

Listen everyone - this guy Kent makes the VERY BEST kielbasa EVER! I've eaten Polish sausages in…read moreChicago, Joliet, New York City, Kansas City, and other places known for Polish cuisine, and I have never had a kielbasa that tasted so perfect! We have family in Tucson, so when we're there I always pick up some of Kent's fresh Polish kielbasa. You are depriving yourself if you don't get some, and I would hate to see anyone deprive himself/herself of this delicious treat. Get over to Kent's Sausage Shop and get you some - all of his products are sedond to none, but this particular variety is uniquely exquisite. You will not be disappointed!

I've been looking all over town for Krakow, a garlicky Polish lunch meat. I grew up in the midwest…read morewhere there are a lot of Polish and Hungarian people, and Krakow is prevalent. I stopped in and asked the lady behind the counter if they had Krakow. She said yes and pointed to a sausage in the case. I said no, that was not it as it was much smaller around than what I grew up eating, which (in the midwest) is around 6" across. The lady said they've been making Krakow for 40 years, and "that's the way people like it here", and that's that. I asked her if i could show her a picture of what I was talking about. She said it wouldn't do any good (to show a picture). She pretty much ignored me and went on to other tasks. I asked for a taste and she sliced off a piece. It's about 80% taste-wise of what I grew up eating, not nearly garlicky enough but close enough to buy a pound. As she was slicing it, she said "he" makes it once a year right after Thanksgiving and when it's gone, it's gone. So I asked for 2# and said I was going to freeze some. She said it would dry out when frozen so I only got 1#. Perhaps she was really busy, but she didn't seem to have time for me. She was pleasant enough with my requests but not very friendly. Not sure I'll go back.
