We decided to try this spot during a visit to Tucson since we were craving something sweet after lunch. The server was friendly and the ice cream wasn't bad but it wasn't something that blew me away. Also we had initially wanted an affogato but the espresso machine was down. This review is solely based on the ice cream though [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do think the interior looked fun/elegant to dine in and try food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would be interested in giving this spot a try for the food and drinks. read more

Dining here was a great experience for a first time in downtown Tuscon. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service were fantastic. The Prime Rib fries were piled high and tasted great. The Buffalo wings were cooked just like I like them...extra crispy. I asked for the Buffalo sauce to be on the side. The wings aren't seasoned so the flavor is all in the sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seated by the window made a fun time people watching as we enjoyed the downtown view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is more spacious than I anticipated. The bar area is sectioned off from the main dining area so there is plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My waiter Robert was really awesome. Took great care of me and my sister's dining needs. He suggested dessert but we were too full to try any. So he suggested to sample some of their ice cream before leaving I went over to the ice cream shop which is right at the entry/exit door. I waited but no one came over to sample. After a few mins of waiting, I left and will have to try the ice cream next time. read more

This is the 4 th time we've been here in the last few years and each time has been worse than the last. We came in around 5 on a Friday and they were not at all busy. We were seated right away but the service was poor. They were clearly getting ready for the dinner rush to pick up and staff we focused more on those prep tasks than the current customers. We ordered the prime rib fries, burger, and a chicken pasta. The fries were great, there was a good amount of toppings and were very hot. When ordering the burger; we asked for medium and were told they cook all burgers to medium well. Well, maybe had the burger was medium well and the other half was still very rare. This is not an item we'd order again. Between the poor service and disappointing food, we will not be back. In an effort to be more trendy, this place has sacrificed on quality. read more

We went to their ice creamery only. I tried their sangria and mango chimoy were delish. I was craving an affogato. However their espresso machine was not working. They did not have waffle cones therefore got a small split cup with coffee and pistachio ice cream. It was so good. The pistachio was very creamy, flavorful with pistachio nut crunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The creamery is small but there's plenty of outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is cool and chill place as it has a restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

I am reviewing only for the ice creamery! Stopped here after dinner as some of the other dessert places were places we have in phx (like screamery) and we wanted to try something new! They have some really delicious flavors and a couple unique ones too! I tried the oatmeal cookie dough, lemon bar, and chocolate peanut butter. Was hard to decide but I went with my go-to, chocolate peanut butter! This one was different as it was chocolate and pb in vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate! I added sprinkles too. I think my husband got cookies and cream and he likes his too! Service was great and they were patient as we were a little indecisive! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is just a small outdoor patio area to enjoy ice cream so something to keep in mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant part appears to be very fancy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really good ice cream and nice setting![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My friend and I tried the torte with strawberry shortcake ice cream, a scoop of coffee and a scoop of salted caramel. The salted caramel had the perfect texture and flavors. It was AMAZING! So creamy and delicious. However, the coffee and shortcake left much to be desired. They were icy and stiff, not creamy or soft. Coffee was very bitter and I drink black coffee everyday. The shortcake needed more strawberry. Both could have been creamier and more decadent. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. Attentive and courteous. read more

You have to get the chicken pot pie if you come here! We started with the artichoke that had truffle Parmesan cheese grated on top that was really good. We then split the chicken pot pie and they split it for us which was really nice and it's just like a warm hug so so yummy! Our waiter was great and answered all the questions we had.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfortable atmosphere and seating to start as we were needing early dinner before a show at the Rialto.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Calamari and the Wisconsin cheese curds for appetizers. BEST cheese curds I've had in Tucson. Being from Illinois we're used to great cheese from up north.

Had to make it a 5 star- we have not been disappointed by anything we have tried here. The sandwiches and burgers and fantastic! The sliced beef is so incredibly tender and flavorful - it is a win! The desserts (and I am not just talking ice cream) are always sooo good. But of course so is the ice cream! Love coming between rushes and having the place to hang to ourselves! read more

Tried this restaurant because it was near my hotel and I wanted a quick bite. The portion sizes are large and the food was tasty. I mainly ordered traditional bar food and my meal met my expectations. The service was fine and not very remarkable. The location's decor was very nice and comfortable. I would recommend giving this restaurant a try if in the area. read more

I visited HUB before a concert at the Rialto Theater for dinner and drinks with my wife. This is a great and close location for such activities. We arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was full, but the bar was empty and was open seating! I love bars with open seating! (We are married, so I don't have to look into her eyes at dinner! ). My wife had the sangria and I had one of the many draft beers. While looking at the extensive liquor selection, I saw that they offer some great and hard to find bourbons, such as Blanton's, Weller, and EHTaylor. Oh, could I have spent more time here having some of them. We were served by the bartender, who did an amazing job filling our drinks and taking our order. She was friendly and attentive. For dinner, my wife had the chicken with Mac and cheese, and I had the smoked pastrami Ruben. I don't know how the Mac and cheese tasted, because my wife ate the entire portion without my usual taste for review! . The smoked pastrami ruben was absolutely excellent. I have never thought about smoking pastrami, however, this visit, I definitely will give it a try on my smoker. It was delicious! The menu is fairly simple and focuses on sandwiches, salads, and basic entrees. I love it when restaurants have a smaller menu, but does those menu items masterfully. If you are going to an event at the Rialto or the Fox theater, this is a great place to stop before walking to the venue. Some have asked on my reviews, "why four stars?" Well, the barstools were not that comfortable. It could just be me. This restaurant is a must try if in the area. read more

5 stars! great atmosphere and very good food with excellent service, and even the prices are not too bad. This is a very large space, and like many places on Congress, it has a very high ceiling. The lighting is a little dim and there's a semi open kitchen that looks super busy all the time. The menu is on the American side, but the dishes were very good. Our server was very good, we got everything we order very quickly and efficiently, we never had to ask twice or wait too long. We sat opposite the kitchen and we did see some plates waiting there for a quite long before they were picked up. read more

We dined here for brunch because there was no wait and we had two little ones with us. Love the ambience. It's got a cozy city feel with unique touches like upside down lamps and ropes strung up to the ceiling. Like I said, unique. But warm. The ambience might be the best part. The food was OK. I got the avocado and corn salad which has chicken and it was good. I ate every bite, but not super memorable. My 3 year old daughter got the kids burger and it was basically rare....? I feel like the kids options should be cooked all the way? My husband got a brunch item which had eggs, bacon and pancakes and he ate all of it. He said it was fine. Our friend got the salmon bagel and didn't eat much of it--I don't think she liked it but we never got explicit confirmation on that. We were celebrating our friend's birthday and they offered a choice of ice cream, which is really nice. We went with the watermelon sorbet which tasted yummy but the texture was...sticky. Making it very difficult to eat and enjoy. We didn't finish it. Service was super friendly, and the vibes were great! But the food was just OK...If I come back I think I'll stick to drinks--but even my iced tea seemed super watery and unmemorable? So maybe just stick to alcoholic drinks? I think I learned why the wait for Cup Cafe was almost an hour.... I'm glad to have this as an option downtown and it definitely fit the bill today, as waiting for an hour with a toddler and an infant is just not doable. But the food...it just wasn't there, unfortunately. read more

Okay so this place gets better and better! They make POP TARTS!! Today was raspberry, mango and pistachio!! I couldn't have it (Celiac sux) but my friend Kris did and it looked amazing. She was over the moon and enjoyed every bite! Margaret was our server EXTRAORDINAIRE and rocked the service part of our visit. We sat on the patio which was perfect for a cool Arizona morning. I'm excited to come back again and again now.... I'm officially a proud HuB groupie, yall! read more

HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery - They're in The Playground now - American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Trash. So, they renovated and I was hoping for an updated menu but instead they now have a very limited menu that lacks any of the prior dishes that were actually good. Pastrami was salty and inedible. The Brie and beef had invisible Brie and was also inedible as the "beef" was tough and fatty. The manhattan was the world's smallest manhatten I've ever been served. Do they make 3oz glasses? All for the low price of $16 dollars. It's a shame. Service was great and the space is great but the food can be skipped. read more

The Hub was unreal. I stumbled in without expectations, just looking for a place to relax before leaving Tucson, and what I found was something truly special. I sat in the garden lounge, the only customer there that early, but the bartender--Robert--treated me like I was the most important guest of the day. That kind of attention is rare. I ordered a pear martini with ginger, citrus, and what felt like a dozen other subtle flavors--and even though I felt slightly guilty about how complicated it was, Robert made it feel like an art form. It wasn't just a drink; it was a kind of ceremony. Originally, I planned on ordering the salmon salad. But something about the seared salmon entrée caught my eye--served with blueberry sauce. That combination alone made me pause. It felt bold. And when it arrived, it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The salmon was perfectly seared, flaky and tender, and the blueberry reduction wasn't just a garnish--it transformed the dish into something luxurious and unforgettable. The flavors lingered. I took my time. I didn't want it to end. The place was fairly empty when I arrived, maybe because it had just opened for the day, or maybe because it was Mother's Day and everyone else was fighting for tables at overcrowded spots. In fact, I had come from another restaurant that turned me away with what I'd call an impressive lack of grace. I left feeling brushed off and a little defeated--but then I walked into The Hub, and everything turned around. David, who I believe is the manager, was also incredibly welcoming. There was no pretension, no rush--just good energy , warm hospitality, and a feeling that you were in the right place. Honestly, kind of cool to . I just hear two friends that were together talking and really enjoying each other while I was eating . You can tell a lot about a place when people like each other. Who worked there . That's what made it so memorable. It wasn't just the food or drink--which were excellent on their own--it was the people who made it all come alive. David talked me through the menu and told me about Tucson history too . The whole time he was getting the bar in order and still smiling and laughing In a city I barely knew, during my final few hours before leaving, I somehow found this hidden gem. I didn't expect to be writing a review, but it felt unfair to keep it to my self because I'm lazy read more

Along with other family members, we ate an early dinner here to free us for the University of Arizona's commencement ceremony held inside Arizona Stadium. It was an enjoyable meal. I began with a cup of Chicken Tortilla Soup which was chockful of meat. Then a large portion of heavily battered Calamari tasted great, along with a requested aioli. A Reuben Sandwich on Sourdough was excellent, as were the crispy Tater Tots that accompanied it. Creamy Coleslaw was fine. And, Diane's Fish & Chips would have been good if Sriracha had not been added to the batter that covered the fish. Service was excellent, including unbidden Iced Tea and water refills. Seating was comfortable in the spacious dining room, and we finished our meal quickly enough to park and enter the stadium before the ceremony began. XXXX-1/2 stars overall! read more

Hub has been on my radar for awhile and I wasn't disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the aesthetic and my waiter was friendly and attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had an early lunch and ordered the lavender haze, cheese curds and fish and chips.

Edit to add: We came back for lunch and dessert this time and the food was great!! The staff had very little to say if at all though but other than that it was a pleasant experience. We all enjoyed our food very much. The decor and upside down lamps were really cool! I don't have a pic but came for dessert and got their salted Carmel ice cream and it's the BEST salted Carmel I've EVER had. Very rich and so delicious! My Girlfriend got the lemon tart I think it's called and she loved it! Will be coming back again soon. read more

Service very good. Decor and ambiance very good. Sangria was very good. Tater tots crisp and fun. Sliced beef and brea sandwich. Huge slab of Focaccia bread overwhelmed the awful fatty clumps of beef and tiny bits of melted brea. Could not eat it at all. With friends so said nothing. Just left the mess on the plate. Won't be back! read more

First time in Tucson, stopped in for dinner because they had some vegetarian options. The corn chowder was delicious and the pear & goat cheese salad was also very good.

We had lunch mid-week so restaurant wasn't busy. Overall the food was good but for the price, not worth it.

Server was average, [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambience is nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], not sure we'll return for another try. read more

I had been to HUB's old ice cream parlor so many times, so I trusted the the actual restaurant to serve quality ingredients as well. It sure didn't disappoint! It's solid New American food , spacious seating, and excellent service. What I loved: The cheesesteak. I usually don't get them--it's hard to find a cheese sauce I like. But HUB's might be the best I've ever had, anywhere! What I liked: The steak chimichurri salad was cooked perfectly medium, the dressing was bright and flavorful, and it was one heck of a generous portion for 22 bucks. I think you shouldn't bother with the apps. But you should check out the beer menu. And of course, the dessert that's served inside now! I can absolutely see how this has survived in Downtown Tucson so long. It's worth your time! read more

We went down to Tucson for a show at the Rialto Theatre so I was looking for a restaurant in the area and found this one. The good: our server was so welcoming and seemed to be on top of everything despite it being a busy weekend night. Everything we ordered came out quickly. My husband enjoyed his Hub Burger with pastrami on it. The bourbon almond brittle ice cream was excellent. The not so good: calamari were a bit rubbery and my salmon burger was on the dry/bland side. read more

I went to the HUB with a friend at 4 PM on a Saturday and was disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was not crowded, and we were seated in the bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartender, Erik, took our drink orders and brought them in a reasonable amount of time. We needed more time with the menu, and it took a long time for Erik to take our orders. My friend had the chicken parm with pasta, and I had ricotta gnocchi. The breaded chicken breast was a decent size with a bit of red sauce and a thin layer of cheese, however the pasta portion was very small. The ricotta gnocchi was very tasty, however the portion was also small...maybe a dozen gnocchi if that. Also, no bread was served, which would have gone great with the extra sauce from the gnocchi. We also had to wait a while for someone to clear our plates and pay the check. After hearing many positive reviews, we were disappointed in our experience. read more

I had the pastrami it was bad the pastrami was dry hard uneatable like they over heated it in a microwave or on the grill the bun was not fresh even the Diet Coke was flat and the glass the coke was served in smelt lake dirty dish water. They had a speaker right over our table with very loud music playing very unpleasant for our group. The server saw I didn't eat the sandwich and didn't even ask if anything was wrong with it like he know it was bad. We won't be going back. Find somewhere else to eat down town. Bad read more
