    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.

    Tried for first time on Super Bowl Sunday. Won't go back again. Wings were small, dry, and bland. Really disappointed.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Got the fatty brisket and pork ribs…read more Falls off the bone ribs 7/10 And brisket 7/10 Will come back. Just gotta remember to ask for sauce on the side. Fair price and portion. Service is great and Ambiance is cozy.
