    We've been wanting to head over to try Uptown burger because a few family members said it was delicious. We walked in on a Saturday during lunch time and immediately got to pick a seat. The decor was super fun with pics of hamburgers around the space, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. They have a spacious outdoor patio, a bar and various tables for seating. Service was a bit slow for a weekend but, everyone was friendly and helped us decide on a few menu items. They have wine and beer, and also cocktails. I decided to try their Uptown burger, medium rare and we split a sweet potato fries. The burger was rich and delicious. You could tell the meat was high quality because it tasted fresh. I also got protein style (without bun) and everything added was really tasty. My husband tried the French dip and it was really flavorful but, it was so much food he had to take half of it home. Overall, we were happy with our lunch experience and consider this one of the better locally owned burger spots in town.

    Food is delicious looks amazing definitely fresh burgers. Service was okay wish they would check up on the tables a little bit more. The restaurant it self is small but it's clean and well maintained.

    Blt cheeseburger minus the lettuce and tomato. The bacon was thick and crispy. My husband had a melt with a side of au juis dipping.

    First off we went right at 11am which was the perfect lunch time. We must have beat the rush. It's a burger joint with a twist on elegance. Their ranch was the best I've had in a while with some delicious seasoned waffle fries. Our server was very attentive and kind. It wasn't a big place but it was very open, good lighting and clean.

    My wife and I went to Uptown Burger for a mid week dinner date. We arrived around 6:30p and were seated inside right away. They have a covered patio, but we're fans of the cold ac. The staff was friendly and helpful. My wife got a red ale to go with her grilled tuna burger, substitute the bun for coleslaw. On our servers recommendation I ordered the lettuce wrapped French dip burger. We split a large fries and it was just the right amount of food where we were satisfied, full but not stuffed. My wife loved the tuna and it was seared well, where it was still raw on the inside. Tbh e French dip was flavorful and I loved the au jus dipping sauce. If you're looking for a high quality burger Uptown is a great option.

    Uptown Burger, medium. Very fresh, well seasoned. Nice brioche bun.

    Burgers are very good. Flavorful and well seasoned. Now it's full service. Patio is very pleasant.

    Restaurants and bars are also about expectations, what type of restaurant are you going to? And everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. It's an interesting place in upscale strip mall, the parking is ok but could be a problem, I went for a late lunch so it wasn't an issue. It was also interesting to see a bunch of high school kids in there getting burgers after school. The service was fast and efficient. It's also about being realistic about the food. I had the regular burger with a small order of sweet potato fries and it was good. If I was in the neighborhood , I might consider this as an option but not as a destination restaurant for me. They also have a at least six to eight craft beers available.

    Patio dining is dog friendly

    Uptown lived up to their reputation among our family. Excellent burgers and the GLUTEN FREE bun held together. Wish they had more beer options - like Stella which has the lowest gluten content. Lovely large patio was dog friendly and service was great.

    Great burger! Recommend using the toothpick as the burger is big and juicy (read:messy). Also enjoyed the roasted corn with pesto. Yum!

    Can I make reservations?

    I don't believe so. It's kind of a walk in order and then sit down kind of place.

    Do you need to make reservations?

    No, you do not need reservations. I hope this helps! :-)

    I have finally had a burger from Graze and regret not trying it sooner. Everything was super fresh…read moreand the 1/4 lb beef patty was grilled well. In addition to the usual toppings, lettuce, red onion, tomato, and Graze sauce, I added grilled jalapeños, spicy mustard and cheddar cheese. I neglected to see ketchup on their toppings list due to order anxiety, but my burger and fries were so good, I didn't need it. The burger and toppings weren't overly juicy and the brioche bun didn't get soggy. I was really surprised how well the paper wrapping stayed intact and I didn't have to deal with any messiness. The fries were also really good. They remind me of fresh McD fries - the outside hot, crispy, and lightly salted and soft on the inside. I should have tried the seasonal shake which is peanut butter, because Graze's shakes look good and I'm a peanut butter fan. Hopefully, my next visit will be soon and I'll grab this shake then. Graze burgers are super good and am not sure why there aren't more than two locations.

    Graze never misses. Ever…read more The Graze Double with sweet pot tots is my personal go-to and honestly... elite comfort food without the heavy, greasy regret. Every bite is savory, fresh, and somehow still clean. How is it indulgent and light at the same time? The burger is stacked perfectly, juicy without falling apart, and those sweet pot tots? Crispy outside, soft inside, and dangerously addictive. If you want something that feels indulgent but doesn't leave you in a food coma, this is it. 10/10. Always coming back - staff is welcoming and polite , I love. ALSO they have curry ketchup! It's just a must try and if you're a sweet tooth- the chocolate milkshake is killer. Provecho!

    Located in northern Tucson, this restaurant is a tasty treat for burgers, good fries and delicious…read moremilkshakes! We came for lunch and able to sit indoors at a booth. They also have outdoor seating with heat lamps when it's cold. Their burgers are delicious and I highly recommend their garlic fries! They offer smash burger patties, so just be aware if you're looking for thicker patties. Their chocolate milkshake does not taste gritty and tastes like the real deal! There are large screen TVs at the bar area, perfect for watching sports games. If you're in the area and wanting a burger, definitely check this place out!

    I wish I had better things to say, but today's visit to Truland felt a bit underwhelming overall…read more We chose Truland since it's the closer option to Oro Valley compared to Graze. Our waiter was kind, but the service was a bit inconsistent throughout the meal. The outdoor seating is a nice option, especially on a beautiful evening, though the cushions could definitely use some refreshing and cleaning. Now, food-wise, it was a mixed experience. My husband ordered the Baja Shrimp Sandwich, which felt more like an appetizer than a full entrée. I had a salad with added salmon--it was fresh and well-prepared, and the salmon itself was cooked perfectly, but the portion of salmon was tiny and didn't feel worth the added cost. My teenager enjoyed the Early Riser burger with a side salad. The truffle fries were solid, but the side salad felt overpriced for what it was. Overall, the experience just didn't quite match the price point. I really wanted to like it more, and it's honestly surprising to me that, with the same ownership as Graze, the experience felt so different.

    Time to go back and review. I like to revisit places after a few years and see what is different…read more Smoky Mo didn't disappoint. Places are successful because they stay the course and do what they do best. Today we went with the four meat platter, perfect amount for two people, brisket, pulled pork, turkey and sausage. With four side of coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad and cornbread. All meats are still sauced unless requested "on the side", but not so much to overwhelm the meat taste. Juicy flavorful pulled pork. Delicious smoked turkey. Brisket was just slightly dry but the sauce and nice bark made it enjoyable. The sausage was AMAZING, juicy and packed with flavor. Coleslaw in my opinion, could use a little more "wetness" but it was still delicious. What can I say about the mac and cheese and potato salad, people from the south, Texas to the Carolina's just know how to get it done. The "Texas Sweet Tea", if you are a diabetic do not drink, however this is a true southern tea, it's done the same all across the south, sugar with some tea thrown in. Four meats, four sides and two drinks with tip $50, not bad for two people, I've definitely spent more for food that didn't even come close to this. Once again Smoky Mo you did not disappoint. If you are a BBQ person this is STILL the best of Tucson. Get out and support this small local business!

    I tried it because I was told that it was one of the 2 best BBQ joints in Tucson. Hmmmm, not…read moreimpressed at all. I ordered a small combo plate of ribs and sliced brisket (sliced with the grain and not cross it as it should have been) and my sides were greens and coleslaw. I did not see the sign that said all of their meats were sauced, but if I saw it, I would not have had them put sauce on anything. As someone who smokes a lot of food, when I taste meat, I want to taste the meat and the seasoning and the smoke itself. The ribs and brisket were very tender, but all I could taste was the vinegar in the barbecue sauce. It completely ruins the meal for me because if I wanted to drink barbecue sauce, I would've asked them for a side of it with a straw. I did not taste the meat, I did not taste the seasoning, I did not taste the smoke. I also believe that if a pitmaster floods their product with barbecue sauce, they are hiding something. So I can't tell you anything about the meats other than everything tasted like barbecue sauce. For the side dishes, I got the coleslaw which was tasty and the greens. You can see the picture I took after I finished the greens and it looked like I had a cup of soup. I don't know why they wouldn't drain the water out of the greens. Since I was the only one in the restaurant, I was also surprised that nobody came up to me and asked me how the food was. They were all busy on their phones or talking to each other than to check with one of their paying customers if they were enjoying their food. The place itself, physically, I liked because it was a hole in the wall type atmosphere. I don't think I would've chosen contemporary hip-hop for my guests to hear. So that's it, I'm giving it two stars only because the tenderness of the meat, but definitely not because of any other flavoring I tasted. I also felt it was extremely overpriced for the portion size. I tried it, now I can write a review and know that I will never go back again.
