Big Bad Wolf pulled pork
David H.

I was visiting Tucson along with my brother to visit family. I looked up to see if the old Big Bad Wolf food truck was still around since we were just looking for some bar food and possibly visiting a brew pub. Yelp alerted me that it's no longer a food truck, but a bar and grill now. It had taken the place of the old Rockabilly Lounge. I had never been to the Rockabilly, but Big Bad Wolf is a pretty interesting place. I would probably label this as a dive bar or possibly a biker bar, but don't be fooled. They have live entertainment every day, open early and stay open late. There's plenty of parking in the back. There are also 2 entrances--the back is where the motorcyle over the entrane is and there's also a front entrance. The stage area is pretty large. There are 2 pool tables ---no cost to play. They also have a smoking area in the back which has some tables and a small horseshoe bar type area--no bar though but you can take your drinks food etc out there. A TV to watch sports. Now why you might want to try this--- very friendly staff, around 20 beers on tap, and exceptional bar food. I had the Big Bad Wolf which is a pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw served on a hamburger bun with seasoned fries. My brother ordered the Cubano which he said was awesome--pulled pork, ham, pickle and cheese. We shared a basket of loaded fries which come with real bacon pieces, cheese and diced jalapenos. We also wanted to share a plate of wings. The wings and sauce are exceptional. Wings are pretty big and crispy -- no breading. They have a late night happy hour reduced pricing on drinks. Overall we were very impressed. A place to go for great comfort food, watching sports on the TV's or just chilling to some music. I hope they do well since I'll probably look them up again the next time I visit the Tucson area.

Fun local dive bar. Nothing fancy, a little slow: if no hurry, then no worry in life. The daily food specials are great.

WOWhubby and I had an epic lunch today at ‍Chef Brian's Comfort Kitchen. We arrived for a late…read morelunch at this hip fast casual (counter service) eatery and were greeted directly by Chef Brian Hill, an OG [S1!] Top Chef contestant, who guided us through his southern menu, recommending yummy vegan and carnivore options. OMG, what an EXQUISITE meal--My fried pork chop dish and hubby's vegan platter--chef's kiss perfection! My pictures do not do it justice! Chef Brian checked in during the meal to regale us with witty stories of cookng for luminaries like Mary J Blige, Eddie Murphy, Forrest Whittaker et al! It was the ultimate Chef's table experience!! Truly memorable!

You've got Forbes on one corner, Ugly But Honest Pizza on another, and Café Desta / 5 Points Market nearby, each are great for very different reasons. Chef Brian's absolutely belongs in that conversation. I came in with a friend who's spent a few years in the South and takes collard greens very seriously. To our surprise, the collards here are vegan and excellent. Great texture, deep flavor, and not an afterthought at all. Chef Brian told us it's something like a 20-hour process, which definitely shows. A quick heads-up: they do not have mustard, ketchup, ranch, or pickles. If those are must-haves for you, bring them along. Service was good, especially considering it was essentially a two-person operation. Chef Brian was upfront that things were running a bit long due to earlier guests, which we appreciated. We took the opportunity to grab a drink nearby and came back, no issue at all. The food was outstanding. We ordered the fried chicken dinner with fried potatoes and collard greens. The chicken was phenomenal: crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. I initially assumed a pickle brine, but Chef Brian explained it's actually the herbs he uses that give it that depth. Whatever the method, it works. Excellent food, honest service, and a smaller, no-frills space. Chef Brian is clearly an accomplished chef, with appearances on Top Chef and Bar Rescue, among others, but more importantly, he knows food and community. Definitely add this spot to your list.

The booths were roomy and the space felt cozy and classy. I loved the décor and that paddle fan with the attached paddles was so fun to watch. Anything with cheese, barbecue, or chicken tenders is on another level here. Portions are very shareable. Service was kind, but it looked like our server was handling everything without a busser, so dishes stayed on the table longer than expected. The food still came out in a good amount of time. We ordered the Trio Sampler with Santa Fe Spinach Dip, Chicken Tenders, and Cheese Bites. My dad has a friend in Vegas who literally asks him to bring the spinach dip back, so we had to try it. It lived up to the hype. Our whole group agreed the chicken tenders were the best we have had. Perfect crisp and juicy, and that is a big compliment coming from a group ranging from 30 to 75 years old. Baby Back Ribs were tender and easy to share. My husband and I split ours and still had leftovers. Carrot Cake was rich and delicious with cream cheese icing, caramel, toasted coconut, and candied pecans. It almost gave a cheesecake moment. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back!

My friend got the salmon and I got the fish and chips. Both were delicious and I believe the fish and chips were on the lunch special! I couldn't have been happier. Instead of chips I got corn which was yummy. We got shots of tequila which were around $6 each and the shots were huge!

We're there almost every…read moreweek, sometimes twice a week, especially on Saturdays when there's an event, a game on, or something going on in the plaza. That whole St. Philip's area always has a great energy, and UPH is a big part of that. There's usually a crowd, live music or sports on, and it feels like one of those places where you can bring friends from out of town and know it'll be a fun time. Food is consistently solid. The grilled chicken sandwich is my go-to and it's good every time. We both usually get one, and a lot of the time we'll add buffalo wings, which are some of our favorites in Tucson. Good flavor, good texture, and always reliable. If anything, the wings could always use a little more sauce, but they're still one of the better orders on the menu. The only real issue, and it happens pretty often, is the service speed. Everyone there is friendly, but the place always feels understaffed, especially when it's busy. We've had multiple times sitting outside in the Arizona heat where it takes 15-20 minutes just to get water to the table, and you start wondering if you should go up to the bar yourself to get things moving. Once service gets going everything is fine, but getting that first round of attention can take longer than it should for how often this place fills up. Even with that, we keep coming back. The food is consistent, the atmosphere is great, and the plaza has a real sense of community that makes it easy to hang out there for a while. It's one of our go-to spots in Tucson, and it's still somewhere we bring friends when they're visiting.
