Re: “Pita Jungle”
Run of the mill food, overcrowded,barely fair to poor service, decent prices.
Re: “The Good Egg”
Had Breakfast at their Speedway/Kolb location, Nice clean and new place with great staff but High prices coupled with just OK bland food. The place has not changed since my last visit about 3 years ago. Won't be going back for awhile.
Re: “Firebirds Wood Fired Grill”
I agree with the previous review. Dinner prime rib has been very dissapointing, to the point of almost inedible one time. The wait staff for the most part is very upbeat and courteous, however, the last time we were there for dinner (last fall), my father (70's), asked for prime rib, medium well. It came out medium rare, and the server argued that the piece was medium well, and to deal with it. Needless to say, that ruined our entire evening. My prime rib was so full of grissle that I ate between the lines (literally), and not once did anyone come check on us, until it was check time. We did try to explain (twice, once to waitstaff, and once on the way out to the manager, who was non-existant throughout the entire night), why we left entire meals, but nobody seemed concerned, just explained that they were busy that night....(OK??). IMHO it's gone way downhill, and we won't be back. Too many other places that serve a good steak in town to bother with figuring out if that night's dinner will be acceptable or not or if the wait staff will be courteous or not. (FYI: my father said it would need to be the last place in Tucson before he ever goes back). Now the other items on the menu other than red meat seem to look very good and the appetizers are pretty good. If anyone has a good experience with their steaks/prime rib, and it seems to be coming back to what it used to be, I'd like to hear them, only then will I consider it to be of the same quality as other restaurants in the area...C'mon we're talking La Encantada here....
Re: “Golden Corral”
Excellent place to meet really obese people. But the food? Not so good.
Re: “Chicago Bar”
I don't mean to be rude but we saw Shell Shock and found them to be rather boring. We left after the first set. It was a long drive for us to be let down. By the way, we love classic rock when it's done well. Sorry.
Re: “Zinburger”
Maybe we're too old but this place gets really loud. We'd also have to say the burgers are overrated and too pricey. As for the comment on Monkey Burger. We weren't all that impressed with them either.
Re: “Bob Dobbs”
"Proud to serve" and "RC cola" should never be used in the same sentence, unless you're into sarcasm. Overpriced, and very average.
Re: “T.G.I. Friday's”
(reading the description) "Some chains do it right. " And this one isn't one of them. Not to say I have anything against TGI Fridays; there are sone that actually are good. Just not this particular branch. Portions are very small, service is slow, and the quality just wasn't that good. Pick a different TGI Fridays if you want something familiar. I will never eat here again.
Re: “Cushing Street Restaurant and Bar”
The food was merely adequate, and the service was downright bizarre: we were in the middle of our appetizers when the main course was served. That's lousy kitchen management.
Re: “The Skybox Restaurant and Sports Bar”
Was hoping for a better experience. The vide isn't happening here. The food isn't really worth the prices and the sound system is sorta low budget. Wish this place were better as there isn't much else around this area.
Re: “Chicago Bar”
Small bar with a tiny stage for bands. Owner books the same two bands over and over. Not enough good new talent. Same old same old. Not real bad or anything, however, a lot of burnt out smoker frequent this dive.

Re: “Blue Willow”
Mediocre at best. I've tried it several times over many years, never a good meal. Always expensive and lousy service.
