Good food, good atmosphere. I'm gonna make this short and sweet. The prices are fair and the wait staff is very nice. I line the ambiance and the food was pretty good as well. I'm gonna go with a solid 4 stars. read more

Fast food only. Nothing healthy. Served must have had a BAD DAY so rude we will never go back .

Great service and food that does not disappoint. Lots of variety for those choosy eaters. It is busy, at least when we have visited. The Fonz would feel right at home. read more

Looking for that classic Grease-lightning diner lunch? This is the spot. Their larger-than-life milkshakes (some with literal pieces of cake or ice cream pops topping them) are a fan favorite. Burgers, fries, chicken, and cheese-sticks; all the classic food groups you crave when you want a diner experience. The staff are tons of fun- and you don't want to miss when the celebrities come out. Plus their car shows bring out some beauties that are worth checking out! read more

I ordered chicken fried steak, but the meal was disappointing. The canned veggies looked old and unappetizing, and the "steak" was a strange, cartilage-filled patty, deep-fried and covered in cheap, packet-made gravy. The fries were decent, though. I've had better food at truck stops. The price was way too high for the quality--honestly, it tasted like a subpar TV dinner. The service was great; our server was awesome and took my plate back when I expressed my disappointment. The manager stopped by to check on us, but when I said the food was just "okay," she quickly left. read more

Wow! This place is awesome! The food, the entertainment, the atmosphere! A classic 50's diner with food and drinks that bring you back to an awesome time. The deserts are absolutely to die for. The "Big Bopper" series of shakes are an absolute must. The staff are the best I've seen in Tucson. Smiles, attentiveness, and fully knowledgeable on the menu. You can't beat them. Catch the show next door at the Gaslight theater. And you'll be totally entertained. Well worth the price and when in Tucson, it's a must visit! If you miss it, you'll be sorry. read more

I am a little biased as I LOVE 50s music snd theme entirely, but it's still just so amazing here. The food is amazing, I suggest coming here on a birthday or just celebrating. Make sure it's on a Friday or Saturday after 6 or so. Elvis and Marilyn Monroe actors are the most frequent, but there are sometimes others. The employees are so nice and accommodating to anything that you need. I love it here and i suggest it to anyone with family or old family, etc. it's AMAZING read more

All of the above. Very cool place to eat, great food and service. Atmosphere is also amazing.

We got to the diner right before 11am and they were doing the switch over from breakfast to lunch. Our waitress was Keria and she was amazing. After we were sat, she promptly took our drink orders and gave us time to look at the menu. She was getting tables in her section left & right but moved around with grace (including dealing with an 8 rop that waited almost 30 minutes for their party to arrive). She took our order and the food was piping hot when it came out. She refilled our drinks and water and cashed us out right on time! I like this diner but my son LOVES it even more. He likes pointing out all the signs on the wall and never misses a chance to play in the arcade. The music definitely flashes me back to when my mom raised me and it is so bright in there without it being hot! Thank you Keria and staff! read more

Little Anthony's hosts RVs that want to spend the night in their parking lot. They went above and beyond to accommodate us in our Skoolie (school bus converted to an RV). We had dinner at the diner and were blown away by the quality of the food, the pricing, and the service. We are going back tomorrow for dinner with friends. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered carry out. Pizza and a tuna sandwich. Both were good. The pizza was very good. Regarding the tuna sandwich, I requested it be toasted. It was not. The tator tots were barely warm. I viewed my sandwich sitting at the kitchen delivery counter while waiting on my pizza for 15 minutes after I arrived at the time they said it would be ready. So considering all that, I'll still gave 4 stars. read more

I was aware of this place, but never went in; just cause it's on the other side of town. I had multiple people recommend the pizza, so I came by to try it. Best pizza in town. Crust is soft, with a crispy bottom; makes every bite great. Sauce n pepperoni are just right; it's not the oregano-heavy sauce you get at Brooklyn Pizza (). I'm from New Jersey; I've had some great pizza in my day. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this pizza was. And the staff was exceedingly helpful and friendly, and it was sincere. They were genuinely happy to be there, and that's a reflection of the management/ownership, so high marks all around! Also... They DO have a full menu with plenty of other items that looked delicious on other peoples' plates, but we only got the pizza:) read more

We got there and we're excited to check out the place since we had never been before and it was my 50th birthday. We had to wait about a half an hour to get a table and then we ended up waiting about another half an hour to get our food, I wanted to order a grilled cheese sandwich but they were out of sourdough and rye bread, which is what I would normally get for a grilled cheese sandwich,. I told her to come back and then decided to try something else and that meal I got the meat tasted weird the bun was hard like a rock and the fries were super nasty. My kids barely ate their meals and my husband wasn't too impressed with his meal either. Then because it was my birthday they brought me a free Sunday, but to be honest that wasn't too good either I would've rather had like a scoop of ice cream or maybe tried one of their milkshakes but I guess what do you expect for free, they'll give you the cheapest thing on the menu. I would've complained to the waitress to about the food, but she never came back to the table until it was time for my Sundae to arrive so of course we won't be back. read more

The mediocre service is what lowered the star review. No greeting upon entering or leaving and I waited quite some time to be served. I chose this place because the prices are reasonable compared to their competitors. It does offer more to see than the usual and is a walk down memory lane for most elders. The game room is attached as is a theatre for family fun. This is a spot that you should definitely visit when in Tucson. read more

After seeing Little Anthony's Diner on a Tucson travel video, I made it a point to visit when in town. It's amazing retro diner vibes with bright interiors, classic photos adorning the walls, and vintage cars out front immediately drew me in as I love places with some personality, and I was not disappointed. The place was busy and hopping with customers at 4 PM on a weekday afternoon. Since it wasn't a meal time for me, I hopped on a stool at the ice cream parlor and ordered a milkshake, but not before taking a tour of the place, snapping a few photos, and taking in the old school Americana vibes. The wait staff all wore matching colored outfits, music was festive, and the place even had a small arcade/game room. The only deduction was for the cookies and cream milkshake I ordered, as it was merely average with regards to taste and not as thick in consistency as I would have liked, but it did have decent cookie pieces embedded in the ice cream, and they did offer whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry on top as I imagine any bygone era soda fountain/ice cream parlor would. Apart from the ice cream, they had other desserts and a comprehensive diner food menu, which looked decent from the few dishes I observed coming out of the kitchen. It's located right next to the Gaslight Theatre, which looks like a tourist trap from the outside, but is worth a visit too as it's got stunning interiors. If you love retro diners and/or eateries with personality, Little Anthony's Diner will not disappoint. read more

Excited! Haven't been here since I was a kid. 50s style diner attached to the gaslight theater. We were celebrating my nephews birthday (9). They have lots of interacted things you can do while you wait to be seated (head hole celebrities, historic cars, and a pony ride). It was a short 5 min wait until we were seated. They had a live DJ that was so much fun and made the whole experience very interactive. The kids participated in all the competitions including limbo, dance, and trivia. They won a bunch of ice cream tickets for all their effort. We tried the pizza, salad, burger and they were all pretty good! Exactly what we needed for a fun and exciting birthday! read more

Great home style food with great ambiance. Totally fun! And there are adult milkshakes, crazy milkshakes, and lots of other sweet treats. The meatloaf is really tasty, and the chicken fried steak is even better! And the mashed potatoes - buttery homemade deliciousness! The green beans are from a can, but that does not make me sad. Yummy rolls to soak up the gravy of whatever meal you get. And you need to save room for one of those desserts!!!! There is a cute arcade to keep the kids busy before or after the meal is served. And the service is great!!!!! Definitely recommend!!!! read more

So greatful they got a few in Tucson area! Just recently moved back to my home state one of them. And got a home recently as we are Retired now, life has changed ALOT since I was living here in AZ (have lived in AZ for over 39 yrs and have lived all over the U.S., But still call AZ home! Husband is from CALI born and raised and loves loves AZ.. My family does also part of them live in East valley and west valley also. Loved the food was very very good!!! I was STARVING also. I wish they had one closer to us folks we are on the southeast side of Tucson where Haughton rd. is. Definitely a change from where we were at before 4 months ago in Riverside CA Inland Empire, miss it also, but the people are more friendly somewhat down in AZ. So ordered Belgian waffle combo was SUPER GOOD n frozen iced mocha frappe was excellent, and he ordered the omlette with hash browns soft a Starry, and french toast total without tip came to 25.83 Cannot beat that!

We stopped by for some lunch during a day of shopping. The place is super cute with a 50s diner theme. Our server was very pleasant and checked in with us often. The three of us ordered the appetizer combo to start and each of us got a different burger with a different side to try more things. The appetizer combo was good - how wrong can you go with deep fried goodness? We ordered two different burgers and the fisherman. The burgers were cooked as requested, tasty and juicy. The fish and chips was nicely fried with a good portion of fish. We tried the fries, tots, and house chips. I'm always a big fan of homemade chips and these didn't disappoint. Next would be the tots as they were super crispy and the fries last. They were regular fries - good but nothing spectacular. Overall we left full and happy having enjoyed a good meal in a fun place with good service. We'll definitely be back. read more

Fun atmosphere with a live DJ. Great meal before the show at gaslight theater. We had blue plate specials and the kids got kids meals. All food was diner standard and tasted good. We also got milkshakes in the show, and they were yummy too. read more

Big menu and good food. Tends to get busy so go early. The banana split is really good.

Are or if you are looking to get takeout, inexpensive, tasty, and excellent value for the money, think about Little Anthony's Diner. The menu options are exciting and delicious and a lot of items are fresh made daily. Their online menu ordering is easy to follow, even for me. Take a run at Little Anthony's, you may be surprised at the cost and value. There are no small portions at this place. Today I needed three club sandwiches. I called Subway and they won't have bread until 1115 and then she told me that well they have a big catering job so I probably shouldn't come in until 1130. Doesn't work for me since my lunch is at 11:30. I called Safeway and they don't make fresh sandwiches anymore. I could get them out of the deli sandwiches. She thinks they made some yesterday morning. That would still be pretty good. Not for me. I've even tried e.g.'s, but I became so confused over their online menu that I gave up. I've ordered from Baggins before, but by the time I got through my order, it was $80 and for three club sandwiches I think not. Little Anthony's my order was complete in seconds. I could pick it up when I asked to pick it up and it was $32 so there you go. read more

You must go to this place if you're visiting Tucson!! Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and wow it so much better than we expected. We're visiting from San Diego and we saw this place had a lot of Elvis decor and my boyfriend is an Elvis super fan so we decided to check the place out. We get there and the outside is just awesome we took many pictures with the cars and other props. The inside was even better, the detail they put on there 50s theme is noticeable we were very impressed. We got seated right away. Our server was so kind and understanding! We thought that since the restaurant was focused on the theme that maybe the food wasn't going to be so good but we were so wrong! We both got burgers and they were so yummy and great size. The onion rings were the best onion rings I have ever had, very flavorful. You must try! I told our server it was my boyfriend's birthday and they surprised him with a big beautiful ice cream sundae, they also sang happy birthday to him, it was very special. This experience is something we won't forget :) We will come again! A big thank you to the diners workers and servers! read more

Just left. Was never helped. I called to order on the phone and was put on hold for 5+ minutes. Decided to walk over to order in person; I was standing there and got ignored. Someone leaving stepped in front of me to pay and was helped. The family that walked in after me was sat to eat. And I was still standing there. Bad service. Probably rascist. read more

Little Anthony's is a fun place to grab a dessert with friends and family! We went on a Friday night and there were live performances by Elvis and Marilyn Monroe as well as a DJ that consistently cracked family-friendly jokes. The food is a little greasy in my opinion, however the main reason I wanted to go was the incredible shakes and they didn't disappoint. We had the birthday cake and s'mores shakes, while both were good I preferred the cake shake. There was an entire slice of cake on top of the shake, so if for any reason you're debating between a shake or cake, you can get a 2 for 1 deal and get the "it's my party" shake! I would highly recommend sharing (even if just to be able to try multiple flavors!) read more

I've dined in once and I got to-go once, both experiences were great. Teagan was our waitress when we dined in and she was so nice. She was great and checked on us when necessary. Naomi took and handled our phone order and she was great as well, I called 10 minutes before breakfast was to end because I thought the diner served breakfast all day. She still took our order and we were able to get what we wanted. The food was great both times. I absolutely love the chicken fried steak! We moved here pretty recently so I was super excited to find this place and try it out. The diner and the area around it is so cute. Very old school, which I appreciate a lot. The diners in California all closed down around where I lived, so I enjoyed Little Anthony's thoroughly. read more

It's been years since I've visited Little Anthony's and I was looking forward to the kitschy retro atmosphere and well-executed diner fare. Unfortunately, I'm not able to review the food because we left after 15 minutes passed and our table had not been acknowledged. The one star is for the quick seating. There's was no wait for a table at 9 am on a Sunday. That was the first clue something was off. The second signal was the lunch menus we were given instead of the breakfast version. The mixup would be understandable if they weren't dramatically different styles. The lunch version is a letter sized, multi-page booklet while the breakfast menu is a double-sided, laminated poster. I watched as another patron went up to the hostess stand and exchanged lunch menus for breakfast. We did the same. Then I watched as the hostess proceeded to give out lunch menus to newly arrived patrons who eventually figured out the mistake and also went up to the stand to exchange for the proper menu. During all this time, we were not offered water, an apology for the wait nor acknowledgement of any kind. Realizing we had made the wrong choice for our breakfast out, we left and proceeded to Bisbee Breakfast Club where we were seated, brought water, ordered and received our food in roughly the same amount of time we waited at Little Anthony's. read more

This is such a fun place to have a meal! This restaurant is in a large shopping center and unfortunately, it's parking lot is horribly damaged with huge pot holes, etc. Whoever owns the lot definitely needs to upgrade their asphalt. But don't judge this restaurant by the parking lot! This adorable and hip diner has a live DJ playing your favorite 50s jukebox tunes that's sure to transform you in time!! They sing "Happy Birthday " aloud & make a big deal over it! Super fun! Decor is what you'd expect from an old time diner. Plenty of seating. They accept reservations, too. There's even a cute dining experience in one of their renovated classic trailers. It's perfect for a fun girl's night or brunch! Service was very friendly, too! Alexis was our waitress and she was very helpful and friendly. We both ordered chicken salads and while good, just nothing extraordinary. I found my chicken a bit overcooked and on the dry side. The fried zucchini was great! I will definitely return and order something new to try! Their desserts menu is full of yummy-sounding items. I didn't get a chance to sample a sundae or shake, but next time I definitely will. read more
