    a box of chicken fingers and a bowl of soup
    Eva S.

    I did not like the food and not going back. I had high hopes but I was disappointed by how greasy and tasteless the food was. There was no love in making this food. The concept sounds good to use chicken organs and fry them up but I think more work needs done here before you get this concept right. The service and ambiance was just like any small fast food place.

    This takeout spot has been a Tucson institution for years and rightly so. They know how to fry and that includes keeping the oil fresh and the smell acceptable. We had the shrimp, steak fingers, chicken giblets, and onion rings. All came with a mild all-purpose cocktail sauce. While I couldn't tell you what animal those fingers came from, they weren't bad. Everything else was really good. Have to go back for fried chicken, Cole slaw and more of those crispy onion rings. While there are a couple of small metal tables at which at least one group was eating, this is take-out food and deserves to go to the park or backyard for a picnic. We took it home, but weather permitting, next time it's outdoors with a thigh in one hand and a cold one in the other.

    All I can say is this is good old, unhealthy, deep fried food.....a I love it. Don't come here looking for healthy or not greasy. My father remembers them when they first opened and he still goes here, that says something!!!. Went here for lunch and it is all I remember and more. The cocktail sauce is amazing!! I try to to come a lot cause as I say it is super unhealthy...but sometimes I can not resist! Def give them a shot if you have not already!!!

    Lucky Wishbone has been a long time family favorite but we had never tried the Oracle location which has very limited seating-only 3 small tables and some chairs). I was always a fan of the chicken sandwich on garlic bread and though it isn't listed as an option, you can still get it (or a hamburger) when you request garlic bread. I had grilled chicken this time on garlic toast and it was tasty. The chicken was cooked nicely and the sauce gave it a nice flavor. The rest of the family enjoyed the meals they remembered. It's a place you go for the sake of fond memories but not necessarily to seek out. The ladies working there were very pleasant and helpful. It was work a visit for nostalgia but am not in any rush to got back.

    Fried chicken sandwich ( they also have grilled). Good bun and fixins.

    Great fried chicken. The place to go for not only fried chicken but also shrimp and steak. All and all an affordable place.

    I have finally had a burger from Graze and regret not trying it sooner. Everything was super fresh…read moreand the 1/4 lb beef patty was grilled well. In addition to the usual toppings, lettuce, red onion, tomato, and Graze sauce, I added grilled jalapeños, spicy mustard and cheddar cheese. I neglected to see ketchup on their toppings list due to order anxiety, but my burger and fries were so good, I didn't need it. The burger and toppings weren't overly juicy and the brioche bun didn't get soggy. I was really surprised how well the paper wrapping stayed intact and I didn't have to deal with any messiness. The fries were also really good. They remind me of fresh McD fries - the outside hot, crispy, and lightly salted and soft on the inside. I should have tried the seasonal shake which is peanut butter, because Graze's shakes look good and I'm a peanut butter fan. Hopefully, my next visit will be soon and I'll grab this shake then. Graze burgers are super good and am not sure why there aren't more than two locations.

    Graze never misses. Ever…read more The Graze Double with sweet pot tots is my personal go-to and honestly... elite comfort food without the heavy, greasy regret. Every bite is savory, fresh, and somehow still clean. How is it indulgent and light at the same time? The burger is stacked perfectly, juicy without falling apart, and those sweet pot tots? Crispy outside, soft inside, and dangerously addictive. If you want something that feels indulgent but doesn't leave you in a food coma, this is it. 10/10. Always coming back - staff is welcoming and polite , I love. ALSO they have curry ketchup! It's just a must try and if you're a sweet tooth- the chocolate milkshake is killer. Provecho!

    Friendly service, both on the phone and in person. The meat on the burger was terrible…read more.. I had a burger to-go. Because was waiting in the restaurant when it left the kitchen and I ate in the parking lot, it had little opportunity to continue to cook. The time between when it left the kitchen and I was in my car opening the container was like 45 seconds, maybe 50 seconds. My medium (pink in the inside) burger was grey and dry, more like well-done. See pics... The fixings were great and were what stood out...but there was little joy in the meat itself, as it was dry and overcooked. They weren't busy...was like 2:30 in the afternoon. It's hard to understand how a premium burger shop gets it that wrong, but it happens... Anyway, when you like Medium Rare and accept Medium because that's what most places like at a minimum, there's no dining pleasure when you get a burger that's Well Done. Did I enjoy it? Nope. But it least it was a high protein snack. That being said, am I irritated that I was served such a dry burger? Yep.

    Solid spot for a tasty, fancier burger in the Foothills. For the burgers, you choose between a…read moresingle 8oz patty or 2 4oz patties (smash burger style) - I opted for a single which was huge and had leftovers (I can see why other tables split the burgers between 2 people). I had the Uptown burger which had a nice char - the caramelized onions and uptown sauce made it feel fancier than a standard burger. My husband had the Nashville chicken which was good too and packed a bit of heat. We shared regular and sweet potato fries which were crunchy and not too greasy - we preferred the regular ones. Food took a bit of time to come out even for a weeknight but it was worth the wait.

    Located in northern Tucson, this restaurant is a tasty treat for burgers, good fries and delicious…read moremilkshakes! We came for lunch and able to sit indoors at a booth. They also have outdoor seating with heat lamps when it's cold. Their burgers are delicious and I highly recommend their garlic fries! They offer smash burger patties, so just be aware if you're looking for thicker patties. Their chocolate milkshake does not taste gritty and tastes like the real deal! There are large screen TVs at the bar area, perfect for watching sports games. If you're in the area and wanting a burger, definitely check this place out!

    I wish I had better things to say, but today's visit to Truland felt a bit underwhelming overall…read more We chose Truland since it's the closer option to Oro Valley compared to Graze. Our waiter was kind, but the service was a bit inconsistent throughout the meal. The outdoor seating is a nice option, especially on a beautiful evening, though the cushions could definitely use some refreshing and cleaning. Now, food-wise, it was a mixed experience. My husband ordered the Baja Shrimp Sandwich, which felt more like an appetizer than a full entrée. I had a salad with added salmon--it was fresh and well-prepared, and the salmon itself was cooked perfectly, but the portion of salmon was tiny and didn't feel worth the added cost. My teenager enjoyed the Early Riser burger with a side salad. The truffle fries were solid, but the side salad felt overpriced for what it was. Overall, the experience just didn't quite match the price point. I really wanted to like it more, and it's honestly surprising to me that, with the same ownership as Graze, the experience felt so different.

    Really good BBQ in Tucson AZ. Would recommend even though I am an Eagles fan!!!!!…read more eagles eagles eagles eagles eagles eagles

    I tried it because I was told that it was one of the 2 best BBQ joints in Tucson. Hmmmm, not…read moreimpressed at all. I ordered a small combo plate of ribs and sliced brisket (sliced with the grain and not cross it as it should have been) and my sides were greens and coleslaw. I did not see the sign that said all of their meats were sauced, but if I saw it, I would not have had them put sauce on anything. As someone who smokes a lot of food, when I taste meat, I want to taste the meat and the seasoning and the smoke itself. The ribs and brisket were very tender, but all I could taste was the vinegar in the barbecue sauce. It completely ruins the meal for me because if I wanted to drink barbecue sauce, I would've asked them for a side of it with a straw. I did not taste the meat, I did not taste the seasoning, I did not taste the smoke. I also believe that if a pitmaster floods their product with barbecue sauce, they are hiding something. So I can't tell you anything about the meats other than everything tasted like barbecue sauce. For the side dishes, I got the coleslaw which was tasty and the greens. You can see the picture I took after I finished the greens and it looked like I had a cup of soup. I don't know why they wouldn't drain the water out of the greens. Since I was the only one in the restaurant, I was also surprised that nobody came up to me and asked me how the food was. They were all busy on their phones or talking to each other than to check with one of their paying customers if they were enjoying their food. The place itself, physically, I liked because it was a hole in the wall type atmosphere. I don't think I would've chosen contemporary hip-hop for my guests to hear. So that's it, I'm giving it two stars only because the tenderness of the meat, but definitely not because of any other flavoring I tasted. I also felt it was extremely overpriced for the portion size. I tried it, now I can write a review and know that I will never go back again.
