    Uptown burger
    Christina Z.

    Solid spot for a tasty, fancier burger in the Foothills. For the burgers, you choose between a single 8oz patty or 2 4oz patties (smash burger style) - I opted for a single which was huge and had leftovers (I can see why other tables split the burgers between 2 people). I had the Uptown burger which had a nice char - the caramelized onions and uptown sauce made it feel fancier than a standard burger. My husband had the Nashville chicken which was good too and packed a bit of heat. We shared regular and sweet potato fries which were crunchy and not too greasy - we preferred the regular ones. Food took a bit of time to come out even for a weeknight but it was worth the wait.

    FINALLY a bomb vegan burger! Loved the service & indoor seating here . Really cute plaza .

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 absolutely love Graze. It's my go-to spot for when I want a burger meal that doesn't leave me…read morefeeling heavy and over-fed. They have options for grass-fed beef on your burger as well as veggie and turkey burger options. They also have the best sweet potato tots and I feel like that's kind of rare -- some places have fries but tots aren't always found in sweet potato form. Also, the sauces are plentiful and the toppings for the burgers are generous, with unique free additions like jalapeños and mushrooms and onions. Most places will charge you extra for those kinds of toppings. Their shakes are delicious as well, and they often have seasonal shakes with special flavors. They sometimes have special prices for things but even when they don't they have really good prices in general compared to everyone else. Oh and if you want something smaller, they even have a hot dog on the menu.

    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.

    I had been wondering about Truland for quite a while now and am very happy that I finally made it…read more I arrived a few minutes after opening and there was only one other party there. There's some outdoor seating; the bar is right by the entrance and the rest is a fairly spacious dining room. The host and my server were very nice and attentive. The burger was super juicy and I was surprised by how well the bun held up, nothing disintegrated and the burger toppings did not fall out with each bite. The garlic fries were covered in garlic, the potatoes were fried well and were not oily or soggy. I did order the cookie butter banana pie to go and should have taken a picture of it prior to driving off because when I got home, the pie had fallen and melted a bit. The flavors of caramel and butter were a little bit stronger than the banana, but it wasn't too rich and I paired it with some coffee, it was all really good. I would order all of this again and can see why Truland is popular.

    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!

    Got the fatty brisket and pork ribs…read more Falls off the bone ribs 7/10 And brisket 7/10 Will come back. Just gotta remember to ask for sauce on the side. Fair price and portion. Service is great and Ambiance is cozy.
