Was excited to try. Unfortunately, it was a bust. I believe it was due to lack of servers. One young guy that didn't see the need for speed, considering he was the only server. Can't blame him was probably worn out. The food came out slow and cold. He served one item at a time with long pauses between each. The cole slaw came out rotten and the cottage cheese borderline rotten. The server told us it was a full serve bar, but not the case. They couldn't prepare either a daiquiri because he "couldn't find the blender" after waiting 25 minutes for it. He was finally looking up on YouTube how to prepare an espresso martini when we were finished and wanting to pay the bill. Unless, you plan on a beer (not even sure they would serve until 3/4 the way through the meal...I would plan on walking next door for you drinks (at the store attached) I will say the server was very friendly, so we left him a large tip for his efforts. Won't be going back. read more

If you plan on getting anything done that requires electronics and a signal; it's sketchy at best. Typical diner fare. We ordered a patty-melt and the catfish dinner. The patty-melt had too much bread and not much patty. The catfish was breaded and tasted better after that had been scraped off. The service was fine but not worth the food or lack of a pleasant experience. Do yourself a favor and wait a few more exits until your farther into Tucson. Multiple, incredibly great food options await you! read more

They changed their menu to where they no longer offer anything that my husband or I wanted to order, and they were out of almost everything else. Quality is not that great, prices are kind of high, and services is a bit abrupt. read more

It had been several years since we ate at Omar's Hi-way Chef. This restaurant is very close to my home and we were regulars but stopped going because food and service had began going down rapidly. A car accident we were involved in caused us to have a several hour wait for a tow truck. We decided to have a bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised at the renovation done on the inside. Our food was much better then the last time we were there and will go back again soon! read more

I've passed the TTT truck stop many times in my travels. I usually dont frequent truck stop restaurants as they are nothing special. I read about Omar's, on a website about having good food. I was overnighting by the airport in Tucson, so I decided to give it a visit. Before stepping in the door, I reviewed the menu online and saw that they have chile rellenos, battered and deep fried. I was sold right away, as this is the way I enjoy the dish. So I knew what I was going to order. I arrived and you seat yourself. Within a minute or 2 I was greeted by one of the servers with a menu and silverware. She took my drink order right away. And by the time she got back, I was ready to order. And yes, I got the chile rellenos. This dish came with rice and refried beans. Abd it didnt disappoint. The rellenos were deep fried and crispy. The rice and beans were piping hot. I wasnt a fan of the flavoring of the rice, but the beans were pretty good. Also, prior to my visit, I saw some pretty good desserts from previous photos. So I had my sights set on the strawberry shortcake. I inquired about it, and the server said she could make it. She also said it wasnt as big as it was in the past, or that she might not have some fresh shortcake. But, she came through. And the size, did not disappoint. Lots of ice cream, whipped cream, and strawberries. One could not go wrong. My first time experience was a good one. I would definitely go back to try some more dishes. read more

We have always been a fan of this place. As a matter of fact, one of my kids requested this place for his Birthday dinner! When covid hit---they took the opportunity to do a remodel --and let me tell you-they did an amazing job! I was impressed. It looks very nice in there--not so dark and dingy anymore. They added a dessert bar and an actual bar in the restaurant. The food remains amazing! The wait staffs' attitudes remain the same too--wish they were a bit more happy, or at least pretend to be. I saw probably one waitress that had a smile on her face last night--everyone else looked like they were only there cause they had to be. They do offer pick up as well as dine in. Masks are required but did not appear to be specified tables to sit at to promote distancing--however, you now seat yourself, so you can pick how far you want to be from others. If you have not been there yet--go check it out and treat yourself to the I-10 Belly Buster!!! read more

I absolutely love Omar's Cafe in Triple T Truckstop. (TTT) It's sort of a long drive for me so I try to make it at least once a month. I have tried a lot of the items on the menu but it is large so it might take me another year :)) Omar is always polite and welcoming. Angel, the busser, is an extremely hard worker and always keeping a smile on his face! My all time favorite server is Amy! She is defiantly a gem in this cafe... You'll usually find her working in the far back of the restaurant. Coffee is great Food is delicious Pie is yummy read more

came in excited to try this restaurant but left after 30 min of no service. no way i'm waiting an hour just to get my order taken, especially when i saw 3-4 groups of ppl come in after we did and get their orders put in before us read more

It was okay if you look at food as a need to survive. Service was great and the food was hot, lacked pizazz.

We stopped here on our way through town and were very pleased with our food and service. It looks like they've done some renovations and the place looks great! They have TVs everywhere, so you're sure to catch whatever game or newscast you're looking for. We ordered a BLT, a chef salad and some chips and salsa to nibble on during the wait. The food came out super quick and the fries were piping hot! The chips were even warm like they are at Mexican restaurants, very nice touch! The salad was very filling and the BLT was very good. Our waitress, Selina, was very attentive and she managed her tables efficiently and courteously. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu on future trips through town. read more

Had lunch there today. It was okay. Was nothing special about the restaurant. Service was very good. But the prices are high (but most restaurants are anymore). read more

Love it. It's been around forever and the staff has as well. Love old school wait staff they are a cut above the rest. Food is ok for a truck stop, but service is A+ read more

If you wanna get sick, this is the place!! Everything is filthy dirty the food is not cooked properly, and the waitresses don't wash their hands as well as the cooks don't wash their hands either. They also put their filthy hands in the food while serving it. read more

I stopped here for breakfast on my way to Phoenix. It's a truck stop and a Resturant. I order the Denver omelette with red potatoes and toast. The coffee was cold, so I had to order another cup, they only charge you for the first one $2.29 to be exact. I told the waitress dry toast no butter, and she brings toast with butter on it. The omelette was plain nasty, disgusting. The red potatoes looked like just plain fried country potatoes, except that they tasted like rotten ass, I ate one and left them alone lol!!!I didn't want to have ass breath the rest of the day. Avoid this place like the plague, the food is plain nasty, gross. read more

You might be surprised to find good food at TTT, but don't let the truck stop ambiance fool you: there's good decent grub coming from the kitchen. Their prices are exorbitant, though, charging $5.00 for a small bowl of grits? A bit spendy for a 24 hr diner. read more

We LOVE Omar's TTT Truck Stop! The food & service is excellent & make sure you save your receipt after dining there to save on parking costs! They always have spaces! read more

Great little throw-down diner where the food is always fresh and well prepared. They serve up all the classic comfort dishes, which are especially nice when stopping in off the highway, as well as some expertly prepared Southwestern/Mexican food. The pies are great as well! I've always found the servers to be friendly and efficient. read more

I really like their food. The only thing bad I could say is that their servers can be cranky..

Great food and service always! The new update is great too! Many family members have been here too!

Edit (5-10-20): Completely new menu but NOWHERE to be found not even on their own website (still old menu on their own site). Ordering was a nightmare. Food received was priced as before but portions slashed dramatically. No longer a go-to for food. read more

Ok place with truck stop-like menu and food. Chicken fried steak was chopped and formed, then frozen and fried. Hash browns weren't fresh either. Gravy was ok, nothing stellar about it. The over easy eggs were well prepared and the sourdough toast was good. The service was passable. The wife said her chili relleno was good. On a second visit I tried their house made red potatoes with onions and they were excellent! Much better than the hash browns. read more

They've remodeled since I was here last. It looks great and the new menu items all looked yummy. I had the rib special. Oh yeah. Good service too. read more

Went there twice recently after many years of having not been there. Once at night to get some coffee and pie and another to have lunch my my son bc I enjoyed my night visit. First visit - I was shocked when I went inside and saw they'd remodeled! It's very nice and gives a great family diner feel. The apple pie had a weird seasoning that didn't belong on any apple pie so I'd stay away from that. The cherry pie however, was to die for!!! 100% recommend it. The coffee is just like at any diner, it was coffee but the service was great. Lunch visit - service was good but not as friendly as the previous time. I guess it depends on who's serving you. The food was okay. I had a burger which was meh - the burger tasted like a cheap frozen patty but the tater tots were great! My kiddo had chicken fingers and fries and he liked them. This place was kid friendly, which I liked. Plenty of desserts to try and even has a full bar. I'd put it at a step above Denny's or IHop bc even though my burger was meh, the food wasn't greasy and done like I asked. Def recommend. I'll go again and try something else from their big menu. It's def a gem everyone in Tucson knows about. read more

Don't bother driving off the freeway for this restaurant. I had the worst "tamale " in my life. At least they took it off my bill. My husband's French dip must have been left over from yesterday, it was so dry. read more

Great food and friendly staff, wonderful desserts. Easy parking there is even a candy store which if you have little kids it's entertaining to watch them read more

I feel like TTT is always the place to stop on either long road trips, day trips or events. It's generally very fast whether you have 2-3 people or 15+. Ive been in all situations whether it's morning or later in the afternoon and have the same service throughout. I appreciate the servers since I have not received a bad order and everyone has been friendly. The only true complaint I have is the price changes and menu updates. Years back there were some options that had quite a bit of food for a fairly good price. The menu was updated with half of the food for more money. It's kind of disappointing and has really pushed me to not recommend going here as much. I look forward to TTT growing and hopefully going back to the way things used to be with lots of food for lower costs. It's more enticing to bring a large crowd or stop off the highway for a quick bite. read more

Amazing remodel food is tasty as always. If ya fuel up ya get a $3.00 coupon, pretty great truck stop over all.

I have to say I was completely surprised how good my food was and the amount you get is unbelievable. You definitely get your money's worth for the portions here but I will say that I tried the Coke, sprite, and root beer and they were all flat. The root beer was the most drinkable. Don't get me wrong the place seemed a little sketchy at first. I kind of felt like I was in the twilight zone when we walked in but everything turned out fine. The staff was nice and the food was a little better than average. This restaurant is an old trucker dive but they have quite a few things on the menu and the service is pretty decent. It's definitely a good place to stop late when pretty much everything else is closed in the area. Downside is that the restrooms aren't in the restaurant but in the truck stop area so you have to walk out of the restaurant To go to the restroom. It's not really far but much farther than it would be in your average restaurant. I hear the ribs are really good but they were out when we got there after 8pm. An interesting stop and a blast to the past. read more

So, I heard about this place from a coworker. I love Diners so I was game. Took the family there for brunch the first time of many and we were very pleased. Any place that has a mandatory waitress requirement of heavy lipstick and no less than 30 years of smoking unfiltered Camels is tops on my list. I asked "Flo" how she was doing after she came by to take our drink order and she responded, "I'm crabby today!". I told her that I loved her for being honest; and I'll take an Iced Tea! The kids each got a $2 pancake made like a famous Disney mouse. The wifey got the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs breakfast with all the trimmings for about $11, and I ordered my true Diner test sandwich...The Ruben($8). You wouldn't think that a joint could screw up a Ruben since the ingredients are pretty dang specific...but I've"ve seen it done. Omar's hit it out of the park! All of the food was great. The CFS was crispy and tender, the Ruben had the perfect balance of Corned Beef, Sauerkraut, Swiss, Thousand Island and marbled rye bread. (The lettuce, onion, tomato and pickle on the plate was a bit odd...but I guess they needed to fill in the blanks). The fries are kind of weak, so I recommend substituting the House Potatoes. They are little deep fried squares of perfectly seasoned, crispy bits of heaven. We have been regulars for months now. Not everything on the menu is phenomenal, however, you will find the dishes that tickle your fancy. My absolute favorite is "Omar's Favorite Breakfast". Cheese Enchiladas, shredded Mexican beef, 3 eggs any style, re-fried beans, potatoes, tortillas and salsa. It's a massive gut buster, but a wonderful mix of flavors and textures. The long of the short of it is...Eat at Omar's. read more

Omar's Hi-Way Chef Restaurant - Chili Mac - American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

While I like the remodel of Omar's, the service has become close to self-serve. They are clearly understaffed. The waitress is so overwhelmed serving 20 tables alone with about 40 customers. Of course the kitchen is backed up as well. The food was hot and properly cooked which was a plus. But sadly overshadowed by the service as the food was delivered to the table In stages. One table fetched their own toast that was dying in the window. As much as I like TTT and Omar's, I probably won't be back for awhile. read more

This place is a bit expensive for where it's at but, it was recently renovated and looks really nice. There's a large assortment of freshly baked goods that are honestly delicious. I enjoyed my enchilada omelet and it was a large portion. The biscuits and gravy were definitely premade but everything else was really good. Our server was kind and great. I will say the alcohol here is incredibly pricy for a truck stop, $9 for a bacardi and sprite when a bottle of it is $9 at Walmart. Overall I would eat here again as it's near my home and the sweets are awesome. read more
