This is an over 55-Community Restaurant and the Sunday Karaoke is what brings me here! My friends Tony and Delores are regulars - Tony a suave crooner! It's easy going - shorts, golf ware, AZ casual. Food is always delicious! Even if you're not a singer - it's a fun time to join the group on a Sunday afternoon. read more

We are fairly regular customers of the View Restaurant. This last time we went for breakfast and there only 4 or 5 people there. First thing we noticed was the floor under the tables and the chairs were dirty with crumbs and other stuff. When we received our coffee my wife's cup still had lipstick from another customer and we asked to change out the cup and a fresh coffee, this was done without a word from the waitress. She brought the next cup and it was equally dirty and had crumbs floating in the coffee, upon telling the waitress she took the cup and brought another still without a word. One of my two over easy eggs was over easy, the other seemed like it had been warmed up from another order. All in all our routine morning out left us with a bad taste and it will be a while before our shadow is seen there. read more

This spot was recommended to us by the nearby WorldMark resort, and at just about 6 minutes away, it was the closest breakfast option. It was a hot August morning in Arizona, but we enjoyed our time overlooking the golf course while enjoying a hearty meal. The portions were generous--so much so that we took leftovers with us. Our server was attentive, and the whole experience was pleasant from start to finish. read more

Im not a resident of sun city and am not old enough for medicare but I decided to come by to eat a few times and check out the vibe. I love this place. Like a great Midwestern family owned restaurant. Everything on the menu is as or better than expected. Great 80's / 90's gold course setting. Really mellow and friendly. Fabulous pricing all things considered. read more

My in-laws live in a house in this neighborhood, so we sometimes find ourselves at the Views. It's not bougie (as you kids say these days), but there is something about this place that makes me like it. It might be the playful singers who frequent the Karaoke Sunday dinners: it might be the slightly sassy, but likable, no-nonsense wait staff; or it could be that the food is simple but good, or it could be that the food is reasonably priced. My guess is that It actually is probably a combination of factors that make coming here something that I kinda look forward to. read more

I wish I would have taken photos of this lovely place. My family, friends, and I came to Tucson for a wedding. I stumbled upon this place close to our VRBO thanks to Yelp. We were a large group of 13 and even though we didn't have a reservation, the host welcomed us and seated us promptly without hesitation. We all thought the food was tasty and liked the service from our server. The place also has beautiful views. read more

The view was great, the food was distinctly average. Nothing to make it stand out in any way, from any random diner.

We live just outside of Sun City and have dined at The Views several times, including with friends and family. As implied, the views of the Catalinas are amazing! I don't know if we've just been lucky, but we have not experienced the service issues that some other reviews mention. Many restaurants are facing staffing challenges now, so perhaps it just depends on the day. My go-to dishes here are the green chile quesadilla, catalina grilled cheese minus the bacon, and pan-seared salmon. The food always has been good, and I appreciate that it can be accompanied with a nice glass of inexpensive wine. Oh, I also must mention the dessert special. The caramel cheesecake was rich and delicious! With decent food and amazing views, we'll continue to pop in periodically. read more

I would not have assumed that this place at first glance would be as good as it is but it is stellar. Friendly and welcoming staff, great food, often live music, we're always grateful to have it around the corner when we visit my family here, and the views as you might guess are absolutely epic! read more

Would not return for several reasons. Service is below average. Although there was not a wait to place the order there was no follow up after the food was served. No ketchup for the fries and the ice tea was not refilled. Food was not good. Had the fish and chips. Quantity was good but quality definitely lacking. Some of the greasiest fish ever. It was sitting in a small pool of grease on the plate so the batter got soggy and absorbed the grease. The fish was rubbery and definable frozen. Fries were ok. Just not worth stopping at. read more

Went on Sunday night. Karaoke DJ's are great. Food is good and reasonably priced. The views during the day are extraordinary. read more

Sadly the food and service are inconsistent. It is unfortunate given the potential of the place with great views adjacent to built in customers, a 55+ community and a public golf course. read more

Servers are attentive, and the updated decor is light and bright. We checked it out on a Tuesday. We sat at the window, enjoying our choices from their brunch menu. Service was very good. Our waiter was very attentive, and he kept our beverages filled. The food was delicious and fresh. Next time we're bringing our husbands. read more

First of all, the 25% off the bill for checking in on Yelp was a bonus. We chose the restaurant for its proximity to our condo. When we checked in, with a delightful hostess, the discount popped up! Our waitress Eden was pleasant, informative and efficient. She wrote down the discount - her first time encountering one. She brought our drinks right away, and returned for our food orders. Niece ordered the bagel & cream cheese (including salmon, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and hard boiled egg). Husband ordered the Sun City (scrambled eggs, plain pancakes, and bacon), and I ordered the waffle with strawberries & whipped cream. Orders came quickly, delivered by a very nice young lady. Eden returned to fill Niece's coffee cup. She'd brought extra hot water for me earlier, for my tea. Food was very good! Niece didn't eat all the salmon (so much!) or tomatoes (again, so much!!). Husband shared some of his bountiful breakfast with me (scrambled eggs were fluffy and excellent). My waffle was light and good, with just enough whipped cream and sliced strawberries (didn't need syrup). When we paid our bill, our 25% discount became the tip with another $2 for extra special service and food. Before leaving for our road trip, we used the clean, stocked bathrooms. Outside, we enjoyed the plants (flower looked like conch shell) and views. read more

Good food and good prices. Service was good, and they had live music on that Friday. It closes up early, as it's a golf club type restaurant at Sun City. There were a few other people there besides us, and we got there about 7:30 pm. Lack of Ambiance is made up for with the good food and good prices. read more

Came here due to the great reviews. First off I want to mention that there is a check in coupon but the restaurant refused to honor it. They actually blamed yelp for it. Beyond that service was prompt. We started out with the shrimp cocktail which was very traditional and tasted fresh. For entrees my companion had a Reuben with a side of sweet potato fries. Very delicious. I had the strawberry balsamic salad. It's spinach with pecans goat cheese and vinaigrette. I had the large. It was great for a lunch portion. Neither of us had any left overs. We indulged in desert as well. They have a nice selection. Our choice was the brownie sundae and the chocolate chip cookie sundae. Neither the brownie nor the cookie were warmed but the sundaes didn't suffer much from it. The brownie was soft and very moist. The cookie was crisp. The vanilla ice cream it says is made in house. It was quite good. All topped with a nice helping of whipped cream and a cherry on top for good measure. The restaurant is clean and unassuming. There's a variety of dishes to choose from so I'm sure most will find something they like and I believe it will be pleasing. All in all it was a very satisfying meal topped off with a most beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. read more

This review is not based on the service except for the fact that I received the wrong breakfast. Server was very nice. It was busy and we waited briefly for our food. I was served fried potatoes without ordering them. I ordered a frittata without ham and changed the type of cheese. What I received was a frittata with nothing but ham. I ate half of it after pulling out all the ham and it was quite a mound. The server was kind enough to take it off the bill. read more

This place is an embarrassment. I live here in SC and would never bring visitors here. Food is horrible, service is bad too. I can't think of one positive thing to say other than the views are quite beautiful. read more

They have revamped the menu in the past year. Decent variety of options, and the food is great. It can get very busy on nice evenings. They have live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, and you can bring chairs, and sit on the lawn. They will still serve you on the lawn. read more

Good for lunch. View of one part of the golf course. Bar food. Have tried it a few times.

Now this review is excluding breakfast. I still think they do a good breakfast. I usually get an omlette or the oatmeal which they do a good job. We hardly ever do dinner here. When we do it's usually a long time in between visits. I'm always hopeful that their food will improve. Instead it seems worse as time goes on. It's almost criminal what they are charging for what you get. I got a hamburger last night. The bun was like they pulled it out of the freezer not long before serving. Very cold. And they charge an extra dollar for a pathetic piece of cheese or serving of guacamole. So buy that time is like 17 o 18 for a really sub par hamburger. Now compare that with a burger from Trident. Good sized burger dressed (variations) for 16.50. meat is always fresh. . I just don't understand how they can charge what they do for what they serve. And according to family that live in sun city, the views is subsidized by the Sun City community. Really awful food. read more

I'm taking the advice of Psalm 4:4 and controlling my anger by sleeping on it overnight and keeping silent. However, as a fellow Yelper, I have a duty to save you, as some of you have saved me, from an unfortunate experience. I could write a scathing and sarcastic review, but the service was slow, my wife's food was cold and tasteless, and most of my shrimp cocktail was served in my lap. The time was 2:45 PM, not exactly the rush hour. There were six waitresses standing around. I had no complaints about my tuna salad sandwich and the shrimp cocktail. They were OK except the shrimp in my lap. Fortunately, the sauce didn't fall into my lap. I cannot fault the server, because of the way the cocktail cup was designed. It was stylishly long stemmed, but the cup was a disaster waiting to happen because of instability. It was thirty minutes before we got our drinks. As I said, my wife ordered hot food but didn't get it. This place isn't understaffed--it's under-led. If there is a manager, that person doesn't understand the difference between leading and managing. If five of the waitresses were a baseball team, they wouldn't even know where the ball was, much less what to do with it. This restaurant violates all nine Principles of Warfare, but the two that they really fail are Unity of Effort and Economy of Force. Additionally, one does not receive an itemized bill, hence, you don't know what you are paying for. I suggest that the owners conduct a bottom-up review, or even better an up-your-bottom review of their business. If they placed a leader on the staff they could operate more efficiently with less people standing around. My advice to fellow Yelpers--don't go to The View Restaurant. The view won't make up for the dissatisfaction. read more

Try the Sonoran Dog! It was delicioso! They don't put Mayo! Yay! Instead they put cilantro lame sour cream (just a wee bit) So good!

The view and food were both amazing. The service was a little slow, but we were there at lunch and it was pretty busy.

Had a nice breakfast here along the golf course. The place could use an upgrade but the food was good. Nothing fancy but an American breakfast and a standard greyhound or mimosa read more

Slow service. Food only average. At one point, we had to give our setups to another table whose food had arrived, but they had no silverware. THEN it happened again and was laughable. read more

We were in the area and wanted something close by that was not too expensive and certainly not a chain restaurant. This place fit the bill in all ways! Views, nice menu and reasonable prices! I liked that I could have breakfast for dinner while hubby had dinner. I had the spinach frittata and it was excellent. Hubby had beef brisket which he enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this place for local or out of town guests. read more

Ordered Country fried steak. It's CHICKEN NOT STEAK. AND NO ONE WILL ANSWER THE PHONE!! It's not like it used to be. Sorry. They're trying to make fancy stuff and by doing so are falling short on the regular food we're all used​ to. And customer service sucks. My husband has been on call holding for 17 minutes read more

Was expected to be seated somewhere with a "view," seemed like only three inside tables would've offered that. The atmosphere was very reminiscent of an assisted living community with cafeteria style tables and chairs and outdated carpet. Even food selection was mediocre (don't normally throw leftovers away but did from here.) Only thing that gives this place a star is the pleasant service. read more

Well, it's been over a half year since we came here and things have not improved. We came on a Tuesday. Yes, it's during the snowbird season, but still, the place had maybe 60% of the tables filled. We got seated quickly and then waited almost 10 minutes for our server to come take our drink order. Then another 10 to place our food order. Food was just not coming out of the kitchen for anyone. There was at least a 15-minute time period where nothing came out for any table. It was to the point that many tables were asking about food orders. When ours finally came out after almost 30 minutes, it was good food but just slow as molasses in January in Alaska. And to top it off, our server never came back to check on us until we were done eating, and we had to ask for the check. Total time from the time we sat down to leaving was over an hour and a half, and we weren't the only ones who had bad service. This used to be a nice place to eat that was close to us but not anymore. Hopefully, they figure things out, or they may not be here very long if they don't keep locals happy. read more

Poor waitress service. Been here 20 mins and no waitress bothered to come out to take your orders.

OMG, the food is absolutely horrible. We had the happy food and it was nothing but grease and very,very, very low quality.

Just awful experience. Wait staff was poor, inattentive, and didn't even know the menu. Waited 20 minutes for a drink. Ordered the fish tacos, and have had a bad stomach for past few days (not sure if correlated or not). However, the tacos were barely edible... and won't even comment on the accompanying rice (was it really rice...tastes like dry plastic something??) Very surprised to read the positive ratings as our experience definitely did not measure up. Won't be back. read more

Our rating system is: Awful, Decent, Good, Very Good and Great. Overall rating is a "thumbs up, or down" system. We had a burger and onion rings, and Fish and Chips, and a couple of Stella's. Burger was Good, onion rings were Awful - breaded and burnt. Fish was Decent, fries were Good, coleslaw was awful-no taste at all. Service was Very Good, so we tipped 20% (on the pretax price of course!). And of course, the Stella's were Great. It's called The Views for a reason, the view from the restaurant is Great. Overall though, we give this restaurant a Thumbs Down due to the so-so food quality. read more
