Went for New Years Eve dinner with friends. Party of 8. Restaurant was understandably very busy, but pros that they are, they handled it beautifully. Service was great, attentive but not overbearing. All eight of us had different orders and drinks and all arrived at the same time. Menu is very broad and has a wide array of choices. Food was delicious and every dish was a hit. Well done Cork!! read more

This is an excellent dining experience. From the minute you enter you are treated like a member of the family. The menu has so many delicious options: venison, duck, elk, bison, steaks, seafood...we had the bone marrow appetizer, and a great rack of baby back ribs, with house-made Carolina sauce (fantastic!). Matt our server was terrific! And the cocktails were excellent. Thank you! Highly recommend The Cork Tucson. read more

The food was superb and the waiter was very attentive, loved the Ambiance. It was a little noisy next to the bar, but it was happy hour so I understood. Will definitely be back. read more

Horrendous experience. We used to go to Jonathan Cork very very regularly for nearly 20 years. We remained loyal under the new management but the last two experiences were awful. On one occasion my husband got sick on the blackened calamari. We advised the restaurant the next day but no reaction. And this last time, the waiter did not put the order in when received and advised us 45 min later that he might be out of the special. We ordered a bottle of wine but were told it was not available - this happened 3 times in a row and he finally suggested a replacement which was more expensive and not good. Unfortunately the two tables next two us were having the same type of experience ending with one gentleman actually getting thrown out. It is with extreme sadness that we cross the cork off our list of favorite restaurants. read more

Quite the letdown. First, we went for the Halibut, they didn't have it. Said it was out of season, in February? Next, they were out of the Broccoli, must have been out of season too. Shrimp Cocktail was good. I had the prime rib, tough and flavorless. I didn't know prime rib could be tough. Baked potato was not completely cooked. Wife had lobster tail, not bad but Red Lobster quality. Rice was under cooked. Brussel sprouts were good. Rum and coke drink was stiff, but poor-quality rum. Asked to speak with manager and found him dressed like he just came off the street, saggy worn blue jeans and shirt hanging out. Most fast-food restaurants require their managers to look professional. I give the Cork a two-star rating. It was my first time there, and my last. read more

The food was tasteful. The ambience was quiet and pleasant. The bread they brought before the meal was very light and airy delicious.

Food was excellent if you like filet mignon. I loved the vegetables, too. We had good service. The Tanqueray martini wasn't good. I asked for very, very little dry vermouth and I don't know if that was what was wrong but I couldn't taste the gin. The ambiance was fine. read more

Nice little find in Tucson, with a great menu and ambience. Has a large bar area and patio. Had a large selection of appetizers including Escargot. Definitely recommend the venison three way, which are small venison chunks done three different ways, very tasty sauces, Ribeye stake was done to perfection and huge portion. Probably the biggest sides of mushrooms I've seen before in Arizona. Also the biggest lamb portion I've had in a long time. Pistachio encrusted lamb rack. 6 bones and a lot of meat. Service was great. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time tonight and we were extremely impressed. The food was amazing and unique (we tried Kangaroo for the first time and it was actually so good), our waiter was kind and attentive, and we loved the lowkey western decor and chilled atmosphere. Definitely trying this place again! read more

Food is very good. Surprised with the delicious prime rib. Service was excellent. Ambiance is old Southwest Tucson. Setting is low light, rustic, quaint. Good place to take friends and romantic dates for drinks and dinner. read more

The food was amazing! Service was very good and ambiance was great. A "feel good" place to dine and bring family.

Our Anny was tonight and we decided we wanted a beef protein buzz. The Cork was close by and had a good rep, so we popped in. We did make a rez to make sure we were on the patio. That worked out nicely. The place is a bit hard to find and access but in the end we made it safely. In order: Very nice house cab. 4* We shared the grilled romaine. Meh. I'll pass next time. I had a MR prime rib. It was excellent. Wife had ribs. She said "ok" which is not high praise for a girl from Chicago. They comped our desert, carrot cake. That was a nice touch. It was 5* I think the Cork has seen better days but it does a good job at what they do. Possibly in east Tucson this is the place to go but there is alot of competition in the beef category. We were very ably served by Julie. She did wear a mask, which not all servers and staff did. Thanks Julie! read more

Nice wine list professional service very nice place for a treat ! Will repeat. Excellent steak ! read more

Great restaurant with good food. It has a nice looking bar that people seemed to like. The staff is very professional as well.

First and foremost the service was spectacular. The food was absolutely amazing and the menu is so varied. I've traveled a lot and never have I ever seen Kangaroo on a menu. Of course I didn't order that but had a difficult time choosing. I had the Prime Rib (perfect) and my partner had the Bison Steak (best steak he'd ever had, his words). We loved it so much we brought a client back the next night! Stellar!!! read more

Our family went for dinner last weekend. All of the food was excellent and the service was great. We ordered the steak medium rare and were very satisfied, everything was just right. read more

Was at the restaurant on Saturday night and had the worst experience. Order a bottle of white wine and it was warm, not chilled. Ordered bread at the same time as the wine and after 15 minutes after we received the wine we had to request again. Came in two minutes. Put a order for food and after 20 minutes no food. Finally food came but not we ordered. When we asked server, he blamed us that we did not order right away and he did not put in order when we did. Blamed me? Will not go back as the manager would not even talk to us about the situation. read more

We had a delightful time savoring patte and kangaroo, accompanied by a variety of mouthwatering appetizers and dishes. The service was exceptionally warm and welcoming, creating the perfect ambiance for a leisurely Sunday evening meal. read more

Our server Ryan was very good and tolerated our many questions well! This is a fine dining experience with expected smaller portions. Definitely a Southwestern feel, as opposed to the usual "cowboy" ambiance, which was nice. Although very small, the bison, kangaroo, venison appetizer was delicious! Props to the Australian owner for adding kangaroo! Bacon wrapped filet was good, filet medallion special was also good. Lobster tail was average. Sides were average, (off-cob street corn, baked potato, mashed potato, Sonoran rice) Bathrooms were a disappointment, definitely need a remodel there... Overall 4/5. Not disappointed and definitely better than usual in Tucson. Dinner for two $185. read more

The vegetables came cold. The portions were very mediocre. The appetizer was overcooked. My wife's steak was overcooked and very fatty. Other than that it was great. read more

Great place for a Friday night dinner after being in Nogales MX for the week. Great selection of meat. Try the kangaroo. read more

This is an over the top dining experience. I love how they have retained the decor from when they opened in the mid 1960"s. The service was impeccable and the food was so delicious. I can't wait to go again. read more

This place is something special. Highly recommend. From the filet mignon to the cheesecake.

Been going here since the early 70's. (Former UofA...brother, sister, inlaws, relatives) Went with family last night and I swear it's still the best restaurant ever!!! We had filet mignon, salmon, lamb, mushrooms, artichokes, nice red wine and service as good as it was from years ago. This is rare these days finding excellent, trustworthy, healthy (food wise) restaurants. And the variety on the menu was "wow"! Cozy inside and basically how we remembered it from these years. We all loved everything about the Cork and going back more often. Thank you Cork read more

This food, service and ambiance was cozy. I felt like I was in a cabin. The mashed potatoes specifically were to die for. read more

The Cork Tucson - Filet mignon - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My Wife and I were looking for a nice spot for a date night. The food, atmosphere, and service was awesome! I would highly recommend The Cork! read more

A secret!!! Well no longer! Under new owners, the place is delightful! I get to be served by bartender James, who has won for 3 consecutive years "Best Bartender in Tucson"! Moreover, the other bartenders are also amazing, Jeff and Alex, always kind, efficient, and make delicious drinks! Yesterday, I noticed that James had an apprentice and was training another bartender! It was like WOW, another future "best bartender!" A strategy that I use when I do not want to consume more than one cocktail, is order a cocktail that is not one of my favorites, or that I despise, as I basically go there to socialize in a "Cheers" atmosphere. Yesterday, I ordered a drink I despise the most, a "bloody mary". I absolutely hate tomato juice, so I said to myself if I take tiny sips it will last me the entire time I am here. James made my drink, it was beyond amazing! I thought OMG this is my new favorite drink! I usually drink margaritas, but did not want to last night because like the desert region I live in, after I consume one, due to the salt on the rim, my mouth is parched, dry, and stuck together needing a gallon of water to pry it open the morning after! I cannot believe I loved the bloody mary as much as I did! Unfortunately, I ordered a side of bacon to put in my drink. I was not thinking that bacon has lots of salt, and yes I woke up like my mouth dry, and my lips glued together pleading for a sip of water. Do you know how hard is is for me to see all the delicious platters of food being carried to other customers, and being able to smell them!!! The new appetizer menu is creative, reasonably priced, and so delicious!! I have tried all of the apps, except the deviled eggs as I am allergic to egg yolks. I tend to do a lot of self talking when I am there, I even turn away to not look at the platters as they float by my eyes and are telling my tummy "you are entitled, order it!!" that way my will power stays in check! Unfortunately, yesterday I sat on the end stool where the bartenders have to exit to bring those yummy platters to the tables. My belly won, I ordered a prime rib dinner! It was so, so, good!! I left with an extremely full stomach as the piece of prime was sizable, and the sides were scrumptious! I hate leftovers! Yet, I even brought home the pieces of prime rib fat that i did not eat and will savor them at home! At this moment I am shaking my head in disbelief, thinking I cannot believe I ate the whole thing!! Not only that, I had a side of bacon in my bloody mary, my belly is still full the next day! A bloody mary with bacon will be one of my new appetizers from now on! It accomplishes two things it is an appetizer and cocktail in a drink. I may even have 2 sides of bacon, or their delicious shrimp to put in my drink as well, and make it my dinner! If I had not gone to The Cork yesterday, I would have missed out on an amazing culinary experience! I feel so, so, good the morning after!! How great is that!! read more

My first very marginal dinner at the Cork. All visits, previously, had been excellent. Tonight, very mediocre. Entrees, side dishes, nothing especially good and, really, below what we've had or hope to have. Disappointing. The service was excellent, so no complaints about the servers. Just the food. Not sure we'll return read more

Husband and I showed up early to grab a drink befor our reservation but the bar was full! Luckily, they sat us early. The host was very kind. She and our server, Allison, were amazing and even wished us happy anniversary. The decor and building were very nice. Started off with oysters, bone marrow, and grilled romaine salad. All were delicious. For entrees, we had the Arizona strip and lamb chops. We finished with the bread pudding. Very happy with choosing this establishment to celebrate our anniversary and we will be back. Thank you, Allison! read more

Went to have happy hour today, Friday the patio was empty except for one table however, the receptionist told us they weren't taking anybody for happy hour on the patio. The bar was packed and squished. We opted out. If there's no happy hour on Patio change it to bar only. read more

stopped in for late lunch and enjoyed the food and the happy hour prices as we stayed a while, friendly crowd and staff - will be back often

Food was absolutely delicious! Patio was beautiful. Definitely a Tucson gem and I will be coming back.

The Cork has always been our go to restaurant. Great steaks, bison, seafood.....the wait staff are attentive and personable. Easily my favorite restaurant in town. read more

Expensive expensive and expensive with mediocre food. My filet mignon was tough and gummy therefore, I am doubtful another cut. Probably will not come back. It just didn't fit the price. read more

This is a really great restaurant. It's iconic, here in Tucson. The food is really amazing, the atmosphere is so much fun and the service is with a smile. They have a specific Burger Night, which I hear is UHmazing....... This is the perfect date night location. read more

The Cork Tucson - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Three stars instead of 5 for the rude waiter. He had a snooty air about him from the get go but I wrote it off initially. Party of 5. Came from work. Ordered drinks and appetizers. When the check came we asked him if he could split it and he copped a major attitude. Snooty. We spent over $500 and were prepared to tip accordingly. He blew it. The food was very good. But I won't spend that kind of money to be treated that way anywhere. read more

I love liver and onions and I order it anywhere that has has it on the menu anywhere in the country. I've grown up eating it and crave it. Trust me when I tell you this is THE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS I've ever had! If you've never tried it but wanted to...this is the place!!!! My husband d ordered the ribs and those were also AMAZING!! Some of the best I've tried! I'm so happy with this place. I'll definitely be back! We'll done!! read more

Very nice OG tavern and steak house. It was perfect for talking and being able to hear each other. The appetizers were really good. We did not order entrees. My small critiques would be: Almost zero vegetarian options. The bar was crowded and we were not allowed to order happy hour apps from where we were seated. Our Server fell off a little midway through, when he realized we weren't ordering entrees. read more

Just not the same. Was my Favorite place to go and to suggest. But it just isn't the same. Welcome was a lot less 'special' nice, but equivalent to Applebees, not a special night out. No more baseball, now a lacking striploin that was tough and not impressive. They will fill you full of ice water at breaking speed, but again, brought without asking, as I would have preferred it not chilled. Someone please clean or paint the smoke damaged fireplace . . . come on. The Wild Game Trio Starter was good, but FYI 1 square each. The Blackened Calamari was over done Had to order the EXTRA, not included, bread to clear my pallet The Teriyaki NY strip was kinda just ok, definitely not up to my expectations The Bread pudding, which I had never had a bad one, was - Bad! Dry and burnt. The Creme Brulee was the only thing up to par. Sad, but yet another Tucson great experience is no longer. read more
