Restaurants near Mount Lemmon

“Delicious, Clean & Freindly!!”

“Great food - unexpected at 9000 ft!! Great prices. Great seating, especially outside with full view of ski area across road. Well worth the drive up!! We will continue to go there whenever we visit Tucson. From Northern IL so don't mind chilly weather.”

“Parking can be very difficult to find, I recommend choosing an off day and time to visit. Great food and atmosphere , love eating on the deck. We love Mt. Lemon when it’s not crowded, and can’t stand it when it’s busy. Finding bathrooms can be a chore , not all places offer restrooms fyi.”

“We live super close to licks and I love to always try a different flavor and there custom milkshakes are so good also, if you look to the right of the fridge and between the lounge area on the wall there’s a menu for a bunch of different types of ice cream like one is a peanut butter sorta vibe ice cream cone and also another amazing thing is there staff they are always so friendly, I highly recommend this if your driving by or if you are eating dinner somewhere near I definitely recommend stopping by.”

“Service excellent, food inventive, delicious. Dark slick tile floors, unmarked change from floor to a step…there must be a bright reflective tape or paint for more than one site in the restaurant. I was injured falling having not seen nor felt the one step. Management was most solicitous and paid our bill. We would never have asked for this and were surprised and grateful.”

“The food is amazing. Best Italian since I moved to AZ from NY 30 years ago. I drive from Sierra Vista just to eat here...😁”

“The best burger and fries my husband and I have ever had. We highly recommend! I couldn’t eat the whole thing, not because I didn’t want to, but because the burger was huge. The fries were crispy and seasoned just right.”

“Great food loved it would totally go back”

“Our waiter, Marcus,, was exceptional! Fun and knowledgeable and very service oriented. The noise level was very high and our friend thought his sandwich of chicken was very tough. Marcus wanted to replace his meal but our friend declined his gracious offer. The poke bowl was the best ever! We will return!”

“The service is among the best in Tucson, our server is always welcoming, prompt and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and specials, no matter who serves us when we go. The menu is expansive and everything sounds delicious, but I keep coming back for the chef’s creative specials. Wild Garlic truly has a unique and flavorful style when it comes to the beautiful food and the carefully crafted cocktails. To me, the price is more than worth the experience!”

“So so delicious! I love their fresh ingredients and how each flavor tastes exactly like the name! Best gelato outside of Italy and especially in Tucson!”

“It’s been 13 years since I last dined at the Flying V Bar & Grill at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, and my recent return was both a nostalgic trip and a delightful rediscovery. The restaurant’s ambiance has only become more spectacular over time—walk through the elegant wooden doors and you’re greeted by a warm, Southwestern-inspired interior, with rustic wooden beams, earth-toned walls, and glowing pendant lights that create an inviting lodge-like feel. Just beyond lies the terraced deck, where you can sip your cocktails while gazing out over a serene lake, the well-manicured golf course, and the breathtaking Catalina Mountains and the Tucson city lights in the distance. It’s a magical setting that showcases the desert’s natural beauty in all its twilight glory.

We began our evening with two signature cocktails: the PICANTE COWBOY and the CROWN JEWEL. The PICANTE COWBOY—featuring Maker’s Mark, Ancho Reyes Verde, ginger agave, lemon, and hellfire bitters—offered a bold, smoky flair underpinned by a subtle peppery kick. The ginger agave added a pleasant sweetness, balancing the tang of the lemon and spice from the bitters perfectly. Meanwhile, the CROWN JEWEL—mixed with Patron Reposado, pineapple turbinado, and orange bitters—delivered a tropical fruitiness that was neither saccharine nor overpowering. Both drinks were impeccably balanced and showcased thoughtful mixology, though at a premium price point. Sipping these alongside a basket of fresh artisan bread and a luxuriously whipped butter “concoction” felt like a quintessential Southwest indulgence.

For dinner, we shared the GRILLED PRAWNS—a dish composed of leche de tigre, cucumber, serrano, coconut milk, cilantro, and confit squash. The flavors dazzled with their bright acidity, creamy coconut undertones, and fresh herbal notes. My only critique was the portion—three sizable prawns made it awkward to share, and we found ourselves playfully vying for the “odd one out.” Moving on to our main course, we opted for the CHILEAN SEABASS. Presented in a pool of walnut consommé with kabocha squash and a dusting of pistachio matcha, the fish was expertly cooked to a buttery, flaky finish, seasoned just enough to enhance without overwhelming its natural richness. Curiously, both dishes arrived with the same slice of undercooked squash. While flavorful in theory, the squash’s firm texture left parts of it inedible. It was a minor misstep but noticeable given the otherwise refined execution of the plates.
Service throughout the evening was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable—servers appeared at just the right moments, kept our glasses filled, and were eager to answer any questions. The romantic atmosphere, panoramic views, and the warm glow from the interior’s rustic décor all contributed to a memorable night.

Though portion sizes were on the modest side—particularly for the price—the overall experience of dining at the Flying V Bar & Grill remains elevated by the quality of the cuisine, the captivating setting, and the attentive service. After 13 years away, I’m delighted to report that Flying V continues to shine as one of Tucson’s most distinctive and enjoyable dining venues.

“Ginza! We’ve been regulars since their opening day. Fantastic food and warm service. They are now open for carryout and need our support. Please support this wonderful family owned local business and enjoy the finest sushi and Japanese cuisine on earth. Open 4:00 - 8:00. Closed on Mondays.”

“I liked the tacos although a bit spicy for me but don’t go by my milder preference, because the shells were great, the portion size was great, the flavors were good - I mean it’s not fine dining and it is definitely flavorful. In my case it was the rolled tacos that I found much better than the regular chicken tacos.”

“Their Eggplant Parm is the BEST in Tucson.”
