La Tumbleweed Lounge

My wife and I have been meaning to try Circle S Saloon for a while. They're about 25 minutes from…read morewhere we live in Casas Adobes, and we love that they're out in the Marana farming community and are really the only Saloon/restaurant/bar around for a good 7+ miles. They're a pretty good-sized place with lots of bar and table seating, and even some outdoor patio seating.They also have two pool tables. The parking lot is good size. The atmosphere is welcoming and we found the staff (particularly Amanda) to be attentive and quite friendly. We sat at the bar. They said they were slower than usual for a Sunday, but we did go on Easter Sunday. My wife ordered the chicken wings. She likes her wings extra crispy, so she ordered her 2 sauces (garlic parmesan, and pineapple habanero) on the side. The wings were very crispy and cooked perfectly. The garlic parmesan sauce was great as was the pineapple habanero sauce, which was pretty darn hot! I ordered their award-winning Cuban burger (with ham, pulled pork, Swiss cheese and pickles). It was a bit messy but definitely delicious. I got onion rings as my side instead of fries. They were excellent and I could tell right away they were made fresh in-house. We also ordered some tater tots to share, which were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. I'm a craft beer lover so it was nice to see that, in addition to their domestic taps (Bud, Ultra, Dos Equis, etc.) that they also had a few craft cans to offer. We both opted for a Sierra Nevada Atomic Torpedo Double IPA and also each had a shot (or two) of Jim Beam Bourbon). We had a great time and are so happy we finally made it out to try them. Even after just one visit, they're already one of our favorite bars/saloons in the Tucson area. We will definitely be back.

Oh and the service was crazy one lady warned me about a male bartender who can get handys. I will never in ALL my days go back and DO NOT recommend this place. Be a better place and care about your consumers.

Ingredients taste fresh and sooo much better than those fast food style burgers. They seem to draw a regular crowd and the server while super friendly and attentive, appears to be responsible for both the bar and tables so that would still be my only critique. In any case, she held it down. To date, my family has tried their cobb salad, pub pretzels, BLT and various burgers and everyone was very impressed with the size and quality of their meal.

Fun experience with great service and incredible cocktails!!…read more Great tiki motif that felt very original. Be sure to walk around inside to look at all the tiki mugs - so unique! The whole vibe is awesome - they even have a submarine room. My guy had a Painkiller and it was delicious. I was all about the spectacle of having my drink lit on fire so I went with the Tandoori Express. I was honestly not expecting it to be as tasty as it was. I was super impressed. And when the fire gets lit - watch out! I was tempted by the Spam Musubi but sadly didn't order it. We did get some Stoner Fried Rice to go and ate it when we got home. Really good!

We were split into 2 groups and we were fine with it. In the future, I would probably limit a reservation to 6. My table ordered 1 of everything on the menu. My faves were the coco nido wings (wings with coconut rum glaze), the Stoner fried rice, and the ahi wonton tacos (cucumber, jalapeno, soy ginger, Chubasco aioli, wasabi peas). For my drink, I ordered the Fogcutter (vintage favorite combines a blend of light rum, cognac, gin, orgeat, fresh orange and lemon juice, and is finished with a port float), refreshing and not too sweet. We implemented the 'take 1 and pass left" maneuver to share all the dishes amongst us. We had a great time eating and comparing notes. There were 2 bartenders and 1 dude running food. it's not a place to eat fast. You have to be willing to chill and take in the vibe. Half the people in our party had just arrived to town so it was the perfect, festive yet low key, speakeasy setting for our party. I got a lot of in-law family points picking this place. This was my 2nd here and both times have been super fun. Thank you, Cabali, for a memorable family occasion!
