    a sandwich and french fries

    When we walked in the place seemed nice enough. There was a LOUD table near us but that is hardly the establishment's fault. However, shortly after we sat down they cranked up the music so loud we couldn't even hear the person next to us. Not a very family-friendly sound level when the place has a sigh about families being welcome. When they brought us our sodas they were not very carbonated at all. Bleh. When the food came out, I was surprised by how small the Philly Cheesesteak was. Also, it tasted like it was marinated in something. Not a real Philly. That's a shame because I've been looking for a good Philly place in SW Tucson. On the bright side, the server was very friendly and attentive.

    I think we in the S/W side of Tucson get all of the "B rated restaurant chains, this is by far the worst Sam's I have been in.

    Had great service around 8pm, food came quickly, and I never needed to ask for a refill. The food isn't bad, pastrami sandwich is great!

    Very spacious and open brewery with a welcoming atmosphere. We sat at the bar, and our beer tender…read moreacknowledged us promptly, handed us the menus, and asked if we were ready to order. We needed a little more time to choose the right beer. My partner wanted a pilsner, but unfortunately they didn't have one available at the time, so we went with their famous Barrio Blonde. I've had Barrio Blonde on many occasions at other places, but this one tasted unusually bitter and a bit flat. It seemed like the beer may have gotten warm at some point and was later cooled again, affecting the flavor. We were hungry, so we ordered the patty melt. The burger was good, with a flavorful patty and perfectly toasted bread. The bathrooms were also very clean, which is always appreciated. Overall, service was friendly and attentive, but the beer quality this visit was disappointing.

    Ok so I was in the area and finally stopped here. It was midday, so I can't speak to the night time…read morevibe or security issues. The place is your typical sports bar, well designed with lots of TV's for sports viewing. The beer selection was a bit disappointing, but the beers were cold and reasonably priced. I didn't have any food as I just had lunch with a friend over at Olive Garden. Yes the girls wear skimpy outfits which is the gimmick, and it's not a bad one, LOL. The bartender was quite friendly and service was efficient. Not to mention she was easy on the eyes. Overall my experience here was fine, the music wasn't overly loud, and Olympic coverage was on most of the TV's. Again not sure about at night, but during the day this place was just fine.

    I had heard good things so I decided to give it a try…read more Ojos Locos is located in a large strip mall right off the freeway, so there is a nice large parking lot. That makes it convenient. Went for lunch but unfortunately I went during a busy Friday when the freeway was backed up everyone trying to get off at the exit to do some holiday shopping. The concept is similar to a few other chains as far as the staff's skimpy outfit choices. There are plenty of TVs everywhere, so there was basketball and football on and able to be seen from pretty much every spot. We were greeted upon entry by 2 friendly hostesses and were escorted to out table. There is a decent size menu of Mexican food choices. I hadn't had Fajitas in a while so I decided to try them out. I was a little surprised that complimentary chips and salsa are not offered to the table. Fajitas came out sizzling along with all the assorted plates for the tortillas and all of the sides (sour cream, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, etc.). I was a little surprised that only 4 small tortillas are given to you, and there is no way you can shove all the food into those 4 small tortillas. I asked for a few more tortillas and was finally given 4 more piping hot tortillas and found out at the end when I got the bill there was a $1 fee for the extra tortillas. I have eaten Fajitas at several places and never charged for extra tortillas. The Fajitas and the service were good, 3 star worthy.
