Impressed how big the menu is and how big the bar & restaurant space . Parking in front & side in n end of bashas mall , diaso, Ati , Pilates studio . We both had patty melts tasty w aioli mushrooms cheese big patty on grilled rye , enjoyed only ate half . Could have had more fries & onion ring combo upgraded too . Added the tortilla cup of soup offer w burger . Not spicy at all lots of colorful small tortilla chips in in. Didn't see much chicken at all maybe if ordered full bowl? Told cup 8 oz ( looked smaller?) & bowl 20oz. Great service from Kim thank you . Haven't been in 20 years . Son & friends went after foothills Friday football but told no longer a tradition . Friends who formerly owned big bar & grill in Tucson say this a favorite of theirs . This has been popular here for many years . Something for everyone . read more

The first time I went to a Risky Business was in the early 2000s, and at that time, there were three or four restaurants. Now, there is only one remaining. We ordered the Angry Calamari as an appetizer, which was not nearly as good as I remembered it. The squid was overcooked as the texture was rubbery. For the main course, I ordered the herb-crusted sea bass served over linguini. While the linguini was ok, the fish had a strong fish smell and taste. The crabby mac and cheese had a strange taste as well. I am unsure if they use crab from a can, but I would avoid this dish. To drink, I ordered the mango jalapeno margarita, which was ok but not memorable. On the positive, our waitress was friendly. The restaurant is locally owned which I like, but unless some changes are made for the betterment of the food served, I do not think this establishment will last much longer.I know this is conjecture, but it seems like they are cutting corners to stay afloat. read more

Great spot for sports and generous portions even on their happy hour menu. Oh and happy hour on the weekends too! So that's cool.

We had a pleasant dinner with friends on the patio since the dining room was busy with screaming University of Alabama fans watching the football game. My cup of French onion soup (which I have had in the past) was not great... tiny portion and did not taste as I had remembered in the past at the Sunrise or the old Tanque Verde locations. My bbq ribs were tasty BUT (1) there is no such thing as a St. Louis Baby Back Rib... either a St. Louis Spare Ribs or Baby Back Ribs, (2) half portion was a small thin ribcage, and (3) to NOT serve any side dish with the ribs... nothing (no fries, slaw, potato salad, vegetable, not even a pickle) and have to pay extra for a small cup of soup was a ripoff! read more

Risky's used to be our go to place but over the last 5 years has deteriorated to where we avoid. It's become dingy, dirty and the food has gone way downhill. I'm sad about this cuz it was nice to have a neighborhood hang out. But no longer read more

This is easily my favorite restaurant. I get the havarti cream cheese with the tomato basil soup. It comes with crackers on the side. It's crispy, fresh, hot and melty in all the best ways!!! I definitely dunk it and basically turn into a big kid every time I walk into this place. Service is good and they always have seating available. More of a cheers vibe, which I think is neat! Thanks for reading. Attached the pics of everyone's meals. Have a great day! read more

Risky's is now permanently closed after 28 years. Loved this place for fun and food. The staff were friendly and attentive.

We absolutely love coming here! This time we tried the Greek flatbread, and it was fantastic--super fresh, loaded with delicious toppings, and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality. We visit regularly, and every time the food and service are spot-on. Highly recommend! read more

Bartender was super nice, but should have been embarrassed by what he brought out from the kitchen- and the chef should be fired. One taco had a decent amount of fish, the other had what was leftover on the spatula. I won't be back which is unfortunate because it's super close. read more

Sad that this place is shutting down like others in the area. Service today was horendious. Came to watch a few games, and got a beer. Taking my time I sat with an empty glass for over 20 minutes. Others around me getting refills with no problem. Hmmm, maybe this is why they're shutting down. Ordered some food, and it was very good. The waitress brought my food but didn't bring me silverware or napkin, so I had to go get it on my own. If you get ignored with the service, it doesn't matter how good the food is. I hate to see any restaurant close because these are tough times. Hopefully, a new restaurant will take Risky's place that can survive. read more

Was a shit hole, food sucked, service /bartenders sucked ,, so over rated its pathetic

Been many many years since I have been here. The waitress was cold. Nearly dropped a dish on a glass. I did not notice a smile Ordered an Old Fashioned. Not sure what they gave me but it was not an Old Fashioned. I did send it back and no charge. Ordered a Caesar salad. I do not know what that was either. I did not eat it. However I was charged for it. Someone else ordered onion rings. They were good. It shall be many many years before I return. read more

If you're looking for a really great restaurant with really great food, Risky Business is the place for you. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Risky's is the perfect home town bar restaurant! It's family friendly atmosphere and home cooked style food is without compare in Tucson. I eat at Risky's all the time because their food is the best! I've eaten everything on their menu more than several times and it's all prepared perfectly. I recently read a review of Risky from some guy that obviously has no taste buds and an equally obvious negative attitude on life. He wrote the burger he got was under cooked. I can tell you from personal experience, the cooks at Risky's are are the best in Tucson, hands down. I have eaten most all their burgers and each and every one of them was cooked perfectly, full of flavor and juicy. Their burgers (as well as everything else they offer) is cooked to perfection. So, who ever this out-of-towner was, he has his taste buds up his butt. Like I said, if you're looking a bar restaurant that has great food (no matter what you order), extremely friendly staff and like home atmosphere, Risky Business is definitely the place you want to go. read more

It's a real shame. I want to love this place--it's right around the corner. But it's just gross and depressing. The food is barely edible. Really, just not good at all. We tried going here for the first few months after we moved to the area, hoping they would find their stride. But it just never happened. Really disappointing. I sincerely hope they turn things around. I would love for this to be our regular watering hole. read more

We visited Risky Business for a Sunday Happy Hour. Potato skins looked great and tasted ever better. We split a black and blue burger and it was hot, substantial, and delicious. Our server was kind, helpful, and timely. It could not have been better! read more

Service in a dead restaurant was still very slow. Quality of pizza was bad- processed chz, liquid sauce/ pretty ridiculously large- and felt like an EBT pizza. Just....no. read more

Made as quick stop here for a drink and to check out the place. The restaurant has a comfortable feel and the menu looks great definitely worth coming back and trying. They have a bar side with full bar and outdoor patio seating. Service was great and they pour a good drink where you will definitely taste the alcohol. Seems like a place to hang out and meet a good group of new friends. read more

Enjoyed a very good meal of Caribbean fish tacos. Would certainly order again. Had wonderful service by Michael. He was very personable, prompt with service, and attentive- but not overbearing. Never felt rushed from beginning to end. Highly recommend. read more

Still taste the onion removed from the ham and Swiss two says later. NO ONION, MEANS NO! Do better!

Terrible service. Walked in waited 10 minutes for no one to even acknowledge my family and I. There was food all over the floor and a piece of lettuce right in the open by our table. Not sure if they take cleanliness serious here. Can't imagine what the kitchen looks like: Server was nice and quick. read more

We were a group of 20. Everyone wanted separate checks and had very different orders. It went smoothly and the service was on top of everything! Food arrived relatively smoothly and drinks were good. For such a disparate group the experience was very good! read more

Risky Business is a local favorite. We go there or order for pick up about 2times a month. The staff is great. We love Risky Business!

We decided to give this place a try since we drive by it all the time and we are so glad we did !! We got the kids some French fries and wow they were so yummy we ended up getting couple more orders of them !! The kids had nugget and fries and they loved it . We ordered the meatball with linguine noodles and it was 10/10, jambalaya with rice 10/10 . Our friends that were with us ordered the quesadillas and burgers and they loved it as well. We will definitely be back again . Our service was awesome as well read more

This place has been hit or miss the couple times I've been here. But the last time was great. The drinks were good, service excellent, and food solid. We tried the crab cakes and I was pleasantly surprised. Super flavorful and came with a dressed salad which was a nice touch. read more

Ordered one of my favorites, Shrimp scampi w double garlic & light on the sauce. Yum! The aroma filled the whole restaurant. Awesome! The shrimp were cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful.

Service was great! Drinks recommended were spot on. We had a business meeting and the server, Kyle, was outstanding!

Good food but just meh. I sat at the bar at lunchtime, was the only one there. The bartender was a nice lady. I ordered a bowl of French onion soup and a salad. Took a long time to come out which was strange because I was the only one in there. I only got a cup of soup but ‍ it's ok. Salad was fine, bread was fresh. I'd go back again if someone invited me bit it was mediocre. People also smoke right by the door - no fault of the restaurant but it is a turn off. read more

I'm pregnant. I had a really strong craving for burgers and fries. Enter Risky Business. I wasn't expecting much, but then I WAS BLOWN AWAY. The whiskey burger was AHHH-MAZZZING. My husband didn't really care for his fish n chips. Service was courteous. The space inside is HUGE. So is their menu. read more

I got the chicken piccata for takeaway, added mushrooms. Delightful. A little more lemony than I would have preferred but still a solid yum ! Scarfed that bad boy down in a matter of moments. Sadly my bread was not warm by the time I got home. I ordered at 6:50 to be picked up at 7:30, got there at 7:40 and the order was not done. I didn't mind and wasn't upset, so I spent my time waiting at the bar. The bartender was a redhead (maybe wearing glasses?) and she opened a new bottle of tequila for me so I could have a new orange flavor. The tequila was okay, but she was kind and attentive for the few extra minutes I took of her evening. Sports bar vibe, for sure. read more

I do love their dipping sauce for the spring roll, but the spring itself is a bummer. Spring rolls are normally fresh rolls without frying.

Completely unsatisfactory service from the manager. Their sandwiches are listed as coming with fries and one of the sandwiches to choose from is grilled cheese and soup. When I asked about the fries the waitress said that item doesn't come with fries even though it's clearly listed under the sandwich category where it says sandwiches come with fries. She brings over the manager who doesn't even bother to introduce himself and who just says, " What's the problem?" Rude. Then he argues with me and says that they just didn't have room to state that that item doesn't come with fries and then walks away. Never tries to make things right. Add to that the bathrooms were dirty. Stay as far away from this place as possible. Atrocious management and dirty. read more

I loved my taco salad!!! My hubby was not a big fan of the gumbo. This is one of those places that has a big, varied menu, so I think it really depends on what you order. It's a casual place which can get exciting when big sports games are on. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there but overall it's a good neighborhood hangout. read more
