    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.

We were a lively group of seven, and after our meeting we even celebrated my birthday. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. The restaurant is bright, inviting, spacious, and has a warm, modern atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. The food was outstanding! Our table enjoyed a delicious variety of favorites, including Elote Nachos, Shrimp Ceviche, Mac & Cheese with Chicken, and several Happy Hour entrées. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. And if you visit, do yourself a favor--order the Margarita with Tajín (that perfect blend of mild chile, lime, and salt). It was absolutely delicious! What truly made our experience memorable, however, was the exceptional hospitality. Manager Edmont and our server Olivia treated us like old friends from the moment we arrived. They were attentive, fun, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The highlight? Edmont surprised us by leading our group in the Tucson High Badger Fight Song after learning we were alumni! Talk about going above and beyond. To top off a wonderful evening, we shared a warm Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding complete with a birthday candle--a sweet ending to a fantastic celebration. Redbird isn't just serving great food; they're creating memorable experiences. I also appreciate that they partner with local businesses, something that speaks volumes about their commitment to our Tucson community. If you're looking for a wonderful place for Happy Hour, dinner with friends, or your next celebration, put Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar on your list. Stop by--and tell them the Badgers sent you!

We're there almost every…read moreweek, sometimes twice a week, especially on Saturdays when there's an event, a game on, or something going on in the plaza. That whole St. Philip's area always has a great energy, and UPH is a big part of that. There's usually a crowd, live music or sports on, and it feels like one of those places where you can bring friends from out of town and know it'll be a fun time. Food is consistently solid. The grilled chicken sandwich is my go-to and it's good every time. We both usually get one, and a lot of the time we'll add buffalo wings, which are some of our favorites in Tucson. Good flavor, good texture, and always reliable. If anything, the wings could always use a little more sauce, but they're still one of the better orders on the menu. The only real issue, and it happens pretty often, is the service speed. Everyone there is friendly, but the place always feels understaffed, especially when it's busy. We've had multiple times sitting outside in the Arizona heat where it takes 15-20 minutes just to get water to the table, and you start wondering if you should go up to the bar yourself to get things moving. Once service gets going everything is fine, but getting that first round of attention can take longer than it should for how often this place fills up. Even with that, we keep coming back. The food is consistent, the atmosphere is great, and the plaza has a real sense of community that makes it easy to hang out there for a while. It's one of our go-to spots in Tucson, and it's still somewhere we bring friends when they're visiting.

    Time to go back and review. I like to revisit places after a few years and see what is different…read more Smoky Mo didn't disappoint. Places are successful because they stay the course and do what they do best. Today we went with the four meat platter, perfect amount for two people, brisket, pulled pork, turkey and sausage. With four side of coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad and cornbread. All meats are still sauced unless requested "on the side", but not so much to overwhelm the meat taste. Juicy flavorful pulled pork. Delicious smoked turkey. Brisket was just slightly dry but the sauce and nice bark made it enjoyable. The sausage was AMAZING, juicy and packed with flavor. Coleslaw in my opinion, could use a little more "wetness" but it was still delicious. What can I say about the mac and cheese and potato salad, people from the south, Texas to the Carolina's just know how to get it done. The "Texas Sweet Tea", if you are a diabetic do not drink, however this is a true southern tea, it's done the same all across the south, sugar with some tea thrown in. Four meats, four sides and two drinks with tip $50, not bad for two people, I've definitely spent more for food that didn't even come close to this. Once again Smoky Mo you did not disappoint. If you are a BBQ person this is STILL the best of Tucson. Get out and support this small local business!

Even during the busy lunch rush with what seemed like half the downtown office crowd grabbing lunch, the staff was incredibly attentive and everything moved surprisingly fast.

The smash burger patties were perfectly cooked with a great sear, and the green chile had just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the burger. I especially loved the smoky chipotle flavor. It came with their house-made chips, which were fresh and really tasty. I also ordered a sweet tea that was delicious and paired perfectly with lunch. Before I left, I grabbed a bag of the Raptor Tracks from the bakery case. I forgot to take a picture, but they were so good. They reminded me of Nutella Muddy Buddies and disappeared way too quickly.
