It made me sorely miss my family's horses more than I already do. I got the patty melt with two patties, onions and cheese on rye. It was freaking amazing. My wife got the Friday fish fry which she loved. We did a pretzel and the beer cheese dip. Wish the pretzels were bigger like BJ's Tacern as we had to get a second delicious pretzel to kill off the AMAZING beer cheese dip. Pretzel size not withstanding I'd totally get that again as it's the beer cheese was possibly if not definitely the best I've EVER had. They also had a damned decent beer selection. I've seen much better but my wife and I found options we liked. Considering how picky we are with beer that says something. The service was amazing. Attentive, fun and professional. Jennifer was our server and she was amazing. She checked in at every opportunity and when she was busy others checked in with us which was great. All in all I'd totally recommend this place. Not super fancy but the food and service was top shelf with a VERY decent ambiance.

There were four of us and we got two appetizers, which was more food that we needed! The serving sizes are very generous. We had nachos and an order of cauliflower. Absolutely the best cauliflower I've ever had. I'll be sure to get that each and every time I return. Great musician, Korie inspector, playing in the courtyard. The only downside was we had to ask her plates, we had to ask for silverware, we had to ask for napkins, we had to ask for water refills. Maybe they were just a little understaffed for a Tuesday night, but it will not deter me from coming back. In fact, I highly recommend it. Perfect for a summer night. And I can't quite leave this review without saying the ambience of the setting was just perfect. Lots of shade trees areas for families to play, there were cornhole games going on, there was another sitting area with a waterfall, I could see when I was leaving out there is a dedicated play area for children. This is a great place for a big party it's a massive ranch and they have utilized all of it in great ways.

The only downside is that they don't take reservations and parking is very limited. Since this spot is so popular, the wait for a table can easily be an hour or more. It's definitely worth the wait, but sometimes spending an hour waiting for a table just isn't ideal. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were delicious! We also ordered the churro ice cream cake, which was huge and definitely big enough to share with the whole table. Can't wait to come back!

They got back to me right away and were very friendly and encouraging that they'd help me out. When we got there, it wasn't busy at all, so we didn't need a reservation. It was a bit disconcerting that the hostess didn't know anything about me having the reservation, but like I said, it wasn't busy at all. We put a couple tables together and had all the space we needed. The large garden setting was spacious and lit by strings of lights which created a nice ambiance. Every table was in the shade by the time we arrived, so if anything, we should've dressed warmer. Our server was friendly and answered our questions. The menu isn't huge, but there were a couple of things I could have with my dietary needs. I ordered the chili burger on lettuce instead of a bun. I upgraded to the Tuscan salad for my side for an extra $4. I asked for some ranch dressing on the side for dipping my burger. My hamburger was very well done, almost to the point of being burnt on the edges. It was hard to cut with the plastic knife I was given. The tiny bit of Tuscan salad was disappointing. It tasted ok, but was definitely not worth the upcharge for the amount I got. So, my meal was disappointing and unsatisfying. The people we ate with would probably rate the place higher than I did because they enjoyed their meals and I didn't hear much complaining. My husband got the Reuben with fries and enjoyed it. The sandwich had a sweet taste to it, perhaps from the apple on it or their sauce. The ones who ordered nachos got a gigantic portion of those. When we got our bill we saw that there was a charge for the little side of ranch dressing. It would've been nice if they'd told us when we asked for it. It might be fun to go back when they have live music.

We got seated immediately with menus in the bar area and the bartender was our server for the evening. He was super knowledgeable and gave recommendations and let us know about the specials which was mozzarella sticks with a bacon fat marinara to which we ordered. My husband got the prime rib cheesesteak, I had a burger, and my friend had the lobster roll. I expected the mozzarella sticks to come out first but they came out with all of our food which was fine. The mozzarella sticks really lacked luster the breading was un flavorful and the bacon fat marinara sauce was actually not good either. The burger was maybe 4/10 they just cook the burgers well done - I was never asked how I wanted my burger. The bun ended up non existent half way through. The chips were interesting I think they must fry them in the bacon fat or a blend because the same flavor was in the marinara sauce which wasn't good. Hy husband loved his cheesesteak said it was great. My friend loved her lobster roll, she agreed with other reviews of the ratio of butter and mayo was great vs ones she has had in the past. We all didn't eat the chips. I think if they were fried in a regular oil it would've been fine or given the option of just plain fries would've been a nice substitute. It felt wasteful. Loved their large bar selection, would've loved to see a mocktail on the menu.

Like many restaurants these days, they ask for a tip even on pickup and to go orders. Personally, I prefer tipping for seated service, but that's become pretty common. The reason I mention it is that almost every pickup order I've had has had something missing, incorrect, or prepared differently than ordered. The food itself is consistently great, but the accuracy of the orders has been consistently disappointing. Unfortunately, you usually don't discover the mistake until you get home. My advice: if you're picking up your order, take a minute to check everything before you leave. It'll save you an extra trip and a lot of frustration.

My final evening in Tucson led me to ALLORO Bistro and Cocktail Bar, nestled inside the Hilton…read moreTucson East. With a Fish Friday special on offer, it felt like a fitting and convenient choice to close out the trip. Unfortunately, the evening began with a noticeable lack of hospitality. The host stand sat unattended--no greeting, no direction--leaving me to seek assistance from the bartender, whose indifferent response suggested that if I waited long enough, someone might eventually appear. After about ten minutes, a server arrived, asked a quick "how many," seated me, wiped the table, and disappeared without a trace. The service that followed never quite found its rhythm. A woman wearing a wrist brace--presumably a host or manager--floated through the dining room, occasionally escorting guests, though rarely anchoring the front. After another stretch of waiting, my server arrived, offered a menu, and returned with water. From my seat, I had a clear vantage point of the entire dining room: roughly five or six staff members moved about, yet the overall energy felt detached, subdued, and curiously unwelcoming. To the restaurant's credit, the ambiance offers a quiet charm. Soft, flattering lighting casts a warm glow across the space, and the proximity to the bar adds a gentle hum without overwhelming conversation. The clientele--largely older patrons--kept conversations low, creating an atmosphere that would lend itself nicely to an intimate date night. The menu, however, failed to inspire. Aside from the prices, little stood out--though I remained hopeful for the Fish Friday special: Chef Brandon's Alaskan hand-battered cod. At first glance, the dish arrived with promise--golden, crisp-looking fillets paired with fries and coleslaw. But the illusion quickly faded. The fish was disappointingly soggy, its coating limp rather than crisp, and the flavor was strikingly bland. The fries were inconsistent--some adequately cooked, others seemingly still thawing--resulting in a disjointed and underwhelming side. The coleslaw was, frankly, unpleasant, with an off-putting taste that made it difficult to finish. There were small redeeming touches. The aioli delivered a pleasant burst of flavor, and even the simple ketchup accompaniment felt like one of the more reliable elements on the plate. After being checked on, I pivoted to what seemed like a safer choice: a patty melt. With clear instructions given, I anticipated a recovery. Sadly, it followed the same trajectory. The sandwich arrived dry, sparsely layered with onions, and lacking the rich, savory depth that defines a proper patty melt. Once again, the saving grace was the house-made dill pickle aioli--bright, tangy, and genuinely enjoyable. Throughout the meal, the service remained inattentive, with staff frequently congregating near the bar rather than engaging with guests. Despite the restaurant's clean and well-kept appearance, the overall experience felt disjointed--an establishment with potential, but lacking execution where it matters most. In the end, while the ambiance offers a pleasant backdrop, the culinary experience does not rise to meet it. Having traveled extensively and dined across a wide spectrum of establishments, this visit did not leave a lasting or favorable impression. Regrettably, Chef Brandon's offerings do not earn a place on my foodie list, and I cannot recommend ALLORO Bistro and Cocktail Bar. On to the next destination--and as always, don't forget to tip your servers.
