Service was horrible. We were passed up being seated by three other groups before us when there was open seated but had to wait 10 minutes. Then once seated we never were greeted by anyone until 15 minutes and brought us water and were told our server would be with us. Another 10 minutes pass and no one came to our table. When the people next to us were sat after us and had already by served drinks and had their food order taken. Worst experience would not go back! We got up and walked out and no one said anything. read more

Dozen of us at the door and counting. Cant get seated. There are available tables/seating, and more that need to be cleaned off. Woefully understaffed. After 20 min of waiting i left. read more

Really beautiful atmosphere, quick and friendly service. The enclosed patio is so cute and sunny! Their gourmet French toast options are incredible, and I was so pleased to find a variety of delicious Gluten Free & Dairy Free options on the menu! Will definitely go again. read more

This is a prime location for a restaurant, and it has been home to many. Toast 101 is a hopping breakfast / brunch / lunch spot. And, during a weekday visit, it was busy!!! Totally cute decor and a maze of tables greet the public. Seating is close, which is a little off-putting with Covid still being quite rampant. The staff is masked, and tables are clean. Nothing is on the tables (salt, pepper, ketchup, etc). We were seated and given menus, and visited a couple of minutes later by our friendly server, and drink orders were taken. The menu has lots to choose from, but it isn't overwhelming. My husband chose the hangover skillet and I chose chicken fried steak and scrambled eggs. Food was brought to us a few minutes later by another server, but we had no utensils. Strike one. She had to go through the maze of tables to get to the counter - no utensils wrapped in the first bin. We watched as she went to a farther area where she did find wrapped utensils, and then she had to go back through the maze of tables and checking on her own customers first (completely understandable). Our server was still someplace else. We then were able to eat. My husband's dish was great! A nice spice to the chorizo, the potatoes were still crispy, a tasty cheese sauce, and just a really good meal. My chicken fried steak and gravy were ok, but the gravy tasted like it was a pre-packaged item. The eggs were a little dry, but edible. My potatoes were the same as in my husband's dish (they were definitely not fresh - most likely frozen). The meal was mostly good, though mostly warm, not really hot. Then we finished, and we sat. And we sat. And we sat. Lunchtime - need to get back to work. Other servers saw us, and we all watched as our server was proudly discussing his tattoo with the table in front of us (nothing wrong with that, but we were waiting for boxes and a check, and our server wasn't aware of us). He then started bussing another table. Finally he came over, and subsequently brought us boxes and our check. The restaurant was out of some items - nitro coffee and white bread. We survived. Overall a good meal, but still some growing-pains hiccups. read more

Im an early bird so i tend to get there by 9:30-10 at the latest. Love the staff and the food. Always order the bacon board. I also recommend the corned beef hash. Great service! Not a terrible wait especially if you're in good company. read more

Toast 101 - Corned beef hash over medium egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

So given that these are times where business is short staffed and struggling through things, I don't believe it's right to be so very harsh with reviews at all. I was in town for a week and Toast 101 was suggested. I made it in on a Friday , and the place is very pleasant to look at inside. Quite a photogenic interior. Lots of seating, and we were in the front. Our waitress (Liz) was a gem. Definitely was very accommodating. I had The Hangover (a hash dish) and it was outstanding. Very good chorizo in the dish. My friend ordered the Brisket burger, but the meat was not seasoned and the burger itself was underwhelming and dependent on sauce. We both shared the Crunch 101 French toast and it was amazing. Over all there were things that could be improved upon, but we had a good experience on our first visit. read more

Toast 101 - Crunch 101 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Tried this place put this morning while working. My buddy got the breakfast burger, was a decent size. I tried the meat skillet. Meat skillet was very salty from the potatoes to all cuts of meat. The waitress very standoffish, did really recommend or answer any questions. I did here they do reservations for large parties. read more

I had driven by Toast many times and decided to check it out. Mistake! We sat in the "patio" area which had a lot of traffic noise. The holiday music was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. It was hard to find anything healthy on the menu--this is the place if you have a sweet tooth. My hot chai had a hair in it. The parking lot is also unkempt which should have been my first clue that someone isn't really paying attention. Will not be back :( read more

Really wanted to like this place! The theme and atmosphere is on point but it didn't pair well with the staff. It didn't seem like our server wanted to greet us. Quick to take our order and not much suggestions or knowledge on the menu. Although they did seem understaffed it could be an off day. The food presentation for the s'mores dish was amazing! The s'mores was great but way to sweet for me and was short lived. After three bites I was out for the count. Other sweet lovers out there may love it! The flavors mixed well but the graham cracker was a bit stale. The country fried chicken with gravy was pretty tasty! The gravy mixed well with the chicken and was well done. Unfortunately the eggs were not eaten, they were cooked well but either very oily or wet with some sort of liquid. On a side note there was a busser working at the time I went which made the experience a little more promising. He was working fast and was the most welcoming part to my experience. He brought great energy, worked very hard and it should not go unseen!! (Had pink dye through his hair) Overall it was a decent time at a new place. Maybe with time and work it can evolve into a breakfast/brunch experience to love! read more

Great brunch. Not what you expect from the outside! Huge portions and great service. I highly recommend the blueberry pancakes. They give you whole fresh blueberries! The breakfast potatoes are perfection. My partner got a platter of chicken fingers and fries. My daughter got a basic breakfast and loved it. You will not leave hungry. We had to box up half our food because we couldn't finish it all! They have a great drink menu, which sadly we couldn't partake of this time but next time on town we will for sure. Great service. Cute atmosphere. Wonderful food. Worth the quick drive from campus. read more

Thursday at 10:15...see someone sitting at the bar eating. Ask if I can sit there as I thought the service would be quicker - just me eating. "Sure! Take any seat. Full menu at the bar" The bartender informs me that the bar is not officially open and it will be a few minutes. 10:45...time to bail after not another word or even a menu offered. read more

Ok ya'll, I decided to take one for the team :) played hookie from work and went to Toast 101!! Where to start.. Fresh OJ, perfect. Basic coffee, you would have thought It was something premium. Avocado Sunrise.. beyond yummy Banana Foster.. Maple rum and candied bananas says it all New Yorker French Toast... A twist on cheesecake I will dream about . Loaded Breakfast tots... Chicken Carnitas with scramble eggs, was such a pleasant incredible twist!! SERVICE - Elizabeth and Neil... Elizabeth was so helpful, funny and extremely attentive. Neil (first day on the job) was right on que, paid close attention to us, our drinks and even our 17 month old who had not been in a public restaurant since he was born. We sat at the window that looked into the kitchen, and our very curious toddler loved to waive at all the staff, who waved back (over and over). Some restaurants do not do so well on opening... Toast 101 truly knows what they are doing. Great set-up (lots of thought went into this). Inviting atmosphere and excellent food. GO TRY IT!! and guys, go on a weekday if you can, restaurants for breakfast are slammed on the weekends and that is no reason for a bad review :) busy is business. Keeping it local and loving it. read more

Luckily, this restaurant is close to my home. I liked the vibe as soon as I walked in. It's decorated nicely and they play great music. They offer a creative menu with tons of options for food and drinks. I enjoyed the Hangover Skillet. I've eaten from it twice and still have some left. My son scarfed down his waffle and shared some of my meal. He also ordered a strawberry soda; it was delish! Service was wonderful, from the hostesses to the servers. I can't wait to come back with friends! read more

I didn't realize 7 ounce had been replaced by Toast 101 but I would never pass up on trying out a new restaurant! My boyfriend and I came in on a Sunday at 1pm Chicken fried steak: chewy/tender, bland flavor, ketchup packets, food came out right away, lukewarm gravy, not hot, 14 dollars Chicken and waffles: 9 dollars 30.43 total not including tip Not a top choice for me in terms of brunch options in Tucson but I'm glad I got to check it out. read more

First time eating here. Came for breakfast on a Saturday. Seated right away. Service was very good despite them being short handed. Food was great. Had the avocado toast, 101 crunch French toast, veggie skillet and Belgium waffle. Agua fresca was also good - not all water! We had a great experience and would definitely come back. read more

We were in town to visit family. We as a family traditionally go to Sunday Brunch, this time we chose Toast 101. We were so excited based on the pictures on their sight. Everything looked amazing. We were so disappointed in this place! First ... We got here at 11:30 on a Sunday. We called ahead to make reservations yet we were told they do not take reservations. When we checked in we were told to sit in our car and wait to be called. FYI .. This is Tucson and we are experiencing the summer Monsoons, outdoor temperature was high 90's almost 100 degrees. Sitting in the car to wait is not an option. I'm sorry but that is a ridiculous request especially since it took longer than 30 minutes to be seated! My sister is disabled so we decided to wait inside to stay cool. There were many guest (sitting & standing) outside waiting. There is only one long bench to sit on outside while waiting and it was full. There is no waiting area inside. There is more area outside that is unused which could be utilized for more seating while we wait. Second ... There were plenty of empty tables and booths that were available throughout the restaurant. Not sure of the reasoning they were not seating the patrons that were waiting. We finally were shown to a booth. We were lead to the high booths with 2 chairs. Mind you, my sister is disabled. We were happy to get seated that we didn't want to complain about being seated in the high booth. My sister managed to get seated in the booth. The step up was about 2 feet up. Fortunately the table was secured that it didn't tip over as she used the table to brace herself. Third ... it was fairly busy. It took a while before we were given a menu. Our waiter was very polite and helpful. More patrons filled the restaurant. Watching the different groups of 3, 4 up to 14 people get seated was something to do while we waited for our order. We sat right in front of the kitchen so we could see how hard the cooks were working. Then we noticed several tables that got seated after us got their orders before us. Even a large party that got seated way after us was getting their order. This was now upsetting. We asked for the manager. She came over and apologized. I have worked in service my whole work career. One thing you are taught in management is to never make excuses, you accommodate the customer. We were told the system had a cliché due to the storm the day before. We were also told that larger parties get prepared first. That is not good business practice. I was always taught "FIFO" ... "first in first out". Forth ... We were a party of four. Eventually after the tables around us got served we finally started getting our orders brought to us. Three of our plates came. The forth one came 10 minutes after the others were served. We ordered, Avocado Sunrise, Maple Pecan pancakes, Brisket Burger and finally Eggs Benedict. The manager said the Eggs Benedict were late because the initial ones broke so they had to remake them. When I broke into the eggs they were a soft boiled egg. Finally ... Everything looked amazing, the young staff were nice, unfortunately our food was disappointing. Two of the four of us were happy while the other two were unhappy with our meals. We finally left after three hours and needless to say we won't be back!!! The service was also very disappointing. Their apology discount was no charge on our coffee, tea and water. The best way I can explain this place is that it has a lot of moving parts that seem to not move together. Their wheels are spinning but not going anywhere. read more

Toast 101 - The "soft boiled" Og Eggs Benedict. So disappointed!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I'll start with a shout out to our server Lisha! She was very friendly and was great! I of course had my favorite mermaid mimosa with added Malibu which was delicious as usual. I tried something new and had the egg and steak skillet. It was very good! The steak was tender and in small pieces you can actually put in your face. My husband had the usual Nutella Overload french toast. He gets it every single time we go! I would like to make a suggestion to the owners. You totally need pancake flights too! Invision this... small pancakes with the specialty themes! It is hard to choose between them and ordering one is a huge commitment because they are as big as my face! read more

Fun place! Interesting drink menu. Enjoyed my breakfast quesadilla a lot. Saw a lot of people eating the chicken and waffles which also looked delicious. read more

Hard pass for me...nothing about my meal made me want to return. The fried chicken breast on top of the chicken and waffle I'm convinced was out of a bag. We received 3 orders at our table and It was identically shaped on all of the plates. The taste, texture, and feel gave school lunch. Lo lo's chicken and waffle would make this place shamed The country fried steak was fried extra hard. The cut of meat is already cheap and thin so idk why they thought that was wise Two people ordered bottomless mimosas for thirty bucks a pop and yet the champagne bottles were let at the table and the orange juice was left in a regular cup that you had to pour your self which made a mess because it wasn't meant for poring The iced coffee was six bucks and non refillable. Gtfoh. Coffe isn't that expensive and the cup is filled with ice so why the crazy price point The outside made me think the place was a bando but the inside was fairly nice tho. 2 stars because my coworkers like it otherwise it would be 1 star Using talk to text so excuse the typos read more

Big miscommunication between the service staff and kitchen. Silverware came to our table dirty, coffee cup was chipped and cracked. We ordered coffee and waters and only received one refill on the coffees. We ordered five meals,three came out right away. Two of the meals came out incorrect and incomplete. Took roughly 20mins to receive the other meals. When they attempted to correct their mistakes (missing bacon,missing pancakes,fruit,etc) they still came back incorrect or delayed. The hollandaise sauce was cold, the kids meals were missing sides,the chicken chorizo was not good and some of it was cold. I cannot recommend this place to friends and family visiting from out of town. I made a huge mistake going there in the first place. We all left after paying the bill with stomach aches and disappointment. read more

Always a go-to brunch place, loaded tots are a must! Staff is always friendly & service was over all good.

My friend and I tried this super cute place for the first time and absolutely loved it!! The food was amazing and we tried one drink off of each section of the menu. The staff was super sweet and fun. We will for sure be back. read more

Walking in, it looks like the restaurant is NOT handicap friendly. All the large tables (that we saw right when we walked in) are NOT handicap friendly. My cousin and I are both handicapped. There is a banquet that has a 3' step to it, and 3'-4' bar stools across from it. All were full with 6+ people in the parties. Long unpleasant story short, we left. Waited over half an hour, with a hostess (who does not have a warm pleasantness to her, at all) told us that "Our tables are for 4 people" (we were 6). Her comment felt politely condescending. After overlooking it, we waited a little longer and then left. No table or service was in sight for us. So much for trying to support local. read more

The food here is great. The service is always quick and friendly. The only complaint we ever have is having to fight the college crowd when U of A has the residents back in town. Summer and school breaks mean no wait which is great for us locals. I only wish they had grits on the menu as it's not easy to find in the southwest. But this is our go-to breakfast joint and we love it. read more

Got us in immediately at around 11 am on Easter! Very very kind staff and a very good ambiance and such cute decorations. The chorizo eggs Benedict is to die for (I have come back multiple times for it) along with the hangover and carnitas skillet. My friend also ordered a spiced chai and loved it. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive! read more

Terrible experience. When the food runner brought the corned beef hash out covered in the mustard sauce which I had asked to be omitted or put on the side, I was told, "Sorry, try it - maybe you'll like it." Being open to life's little adventures I complied. Nope. Didn't like it like I thought I wouldn't. Tried covering it up with ketchup to hide the coating of gross on the less than crispy, if not soggy corned beef hash that resembled a brown rice pudding. I asked my waiter when he checked on us to see if I could have something else, as I wasn't going to eat the corned beef and had asked for it with the sauce on the side, or not all. I was told that he (the waiter) would be charged for the send back on the order despite being entered correctly! My eggs and toast were ok so I ordered some bacon but it came to the table stone cold. The ticket ended up about $35 plus $10 for the waiter by the time I was done for a terrible breakfast. This place is a hard pass for me. read more

I was so excited to bring my parents here and have a good time with them. we sat at the restaurant for three hours and missed all our other plans that we had that day. one of the members didn't even get their food:( I feel so awful that I ruined my parents day. the manager didn't care. I don't know what else to say I'm just disappointed:/ read more

I'm writing this solely because I was blown away by the type of service we received and the ambiance. Mind you I myself am a server and work at a very busy Brunch spot, so when it comes to understanding and leniency of certain things I am your person to have at one of your tables. Upon arrival we waited at the door/host stand for a solid 10 minutes. The same female server passed us 3 times before acknowledging us and letting us know she'd be with us in a moment. At this point I already wanted to leave but was staying hopeful. She guided us to the first table near the front door, I asked her very nicely to move us to a different table since it was very much at the entrance and she angrily grabbed the menus back from the table making it obvious that I was an inconvenience for her. Which I felt was very unfair considering we waited 10 minutes just to be seated, by the way the restaurant was NOT busy whatsoever. Upon being seated a different male server finally made his way to us. I got one water during the entire meal. No refills. Our order was put in and the server went to the bar area and put since headphones in and danced around the bar while our food sat on the window for nearly 10 minutes. By the time it got to us it was close to cold. I was honestly really surprise by the immaturity of their servers and honestly couldn't believe it coming from the customer service industry myself. Would I come back, honestly not at all. And I know that may not matter since I am only one person but at least I can let others know what they are getting themselves into. I went on a Thursday, slow morning. Couldn't imagine what it's like during the busy weekend and wouldn't want to either. read more

I love you Toast 101. My mouth literally waters when I think about this menu. Love the lighting mixed with the natural light, the background music, and watching the big kitchen. Not a brunch b, but I'll slip into some slides to go get full off this menu. Try it. It's early, but worth it. Variety of types of seating which is appreciated if you have anxiety.

Has cute aesthetics but the service was pretty bad. Our server was great, he had good insight and was conversational but it took a while for our food to come in. We came as a group of six and they forgot one of my friends meals and it took another 30 minutes for her food to come in. They also forgot my drink and I reminded our server twice and I didn't get my drink until the end of my meal when the check came in. The food wasn't too bad, just keep in mind when getting the meats skillet it can be quite salty. read more

Listen up Public: If you're looking for a place that serves food with dirty dishes this is the place. Toast 101 is the absolute perfect place that will keep you guessing and wondering if they even wash their dishes. This is how it went. The first cup of coffee was served on a cracked and chipped cup with stains. The server walked up and commented herself and apologized and replaced the cup, only after she caught me staring at the chipped and cracked mug. The second cup of coffee was delivered with a full set of red lipstick stain on it, server then again apologized and was kind to replace immediately. Sever then replaces again, "third time is a charm" as she delivers the third cup and was super apologetic. As I am finishing my cup of coffee she asked to refill which is perfect! As she grabs the cup to refill it we noticed at the bottom something floating. A wrapper from a straw sits floating at the bottom. PUBLIC: Do not waste your time and take your money to a place where they have a little bit more pride of their establishment. Listen up Business: if you don't have the time to properly wash your cups and care for the cleanliness of your dishes just keep your doors closed. Did I enjoy my breakfast absolutely not, not an ounce of my breakfast was enjoyable. Who knows if my breakfast was served on a clean plate. Who knows if you're cooking with clean utensils, and for management not to even show face and cover or comp any of my food. Well this shows how much they care. Take your money and have an enjoyable experience anywhere else in town. If cleanliness isn't a concern, then Toast 101 is your place. As for food mediocre def not worth the price. The idea of toast 101 is large appearing plates but the actual servings and taste can be found at Dennys and this may be offensive to Dennys. At the end I spent $58 for two. Avocado toast served with soggy bread and something else that doesn't even matter at this point. Just close down if you can't serve with clean dishes. Repeat customers of this place are likely minimal unless you live on the street. Not a good look for Tucson more like Joke 101.... read more

What a disappointment! We had come here before and the service was decent but the wait was excessive. Today we decided to try again and give it a second chance. We arrived and were told 20-30 minutes and they would call us. After 40 minutes and watching people who arrived after us get in, we decided to leave. We went to another restaurant and were seated with our drinks and getting our food order in when we got the call we can come in. This was an hour after we originally arrived. The hype of this place is more than the value of the food or the lack of service. Don't waste your time and go enjoy one of the many more places around the city. Very disappointing. read more

Every Sunday morning there is a huge line outside of this overpriced mediocre breakfast joint. Many of the patrons are so lazy and inconsiderate of others as t.o park their cars in the fire lane, despite there being ample parking in this strip mall, maybe 20 feet further away. The management of this place has been informed of this ongoing problem by myself, by the mall security guard, and by the fire department, yet they have not even posted a sign at their entrance asking their customer to not block the fire lane. read more
