Absolutely incredible food, good menu with lots of options for dietary needs. Staff was awesome. The courtyard is such a beautiful space. Top quality and ambiance with reasonable pricing. Definitely new favorite spot

Great atmosphere, excellent service, fantastic food. Not sure what more you could want. We showed up around 10:45 on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. There was live music. By the time we left the place was full. I had the Tallboy tots and they were as good as I imagined. My partner had the corn cakes which were also very good. The mimosa and Bloody Mary were solid, nothing crazy wild about them, but still tasty. The medium spice Bloody Mary was spicy so go into it knowing that. We will definitely be back to try something else!

Great little find in our first trip to downtown Tucson. Wicked good pulled pork sandwich! Great ambiance and good menu choices. Definitely will return.

Absolutely loved the environment, the live entertainment was 10/10. I definitely will be visiting again.

TallBoys breakfast was outstanding. While the plates were somewhat standard for breakfast, the quality and flavors were great. I would definitely recommend coming here. While we only had breakfast, they do feature other menu items for lunch and have a full bar.The arrangement of the restaurant in combination with the small art boutiques and record store gave it a great atmosphere. We definitely enjoyed the ability to eat our food and then within a few steps explore the local art industry.

I was in Tucson for work and a friend recommended TallBoys, and I ended up going twice. Their breakfasts are delicious, I had the corn cakes with green chilies and the vegetarian tacos with tater tots inside, both excellent. My buddies got huevos rancheros and other things with tater tater tots too and we all agreed they were excellent - maybe the best tots I've had. Cool outdoor seating area too, and on Sunday there was a musician. The location is great as well, there's a record store, huge antique and gift shop and awesome t-shirt shop all in the same building. Definitely recommend. I almost went a third time in a week!

Terrible service. Took forever to get any help and when the food finally did come out it was cold and flavorless. Would not recommend coming here. I had to go out to get food after leaving so dissatisfied.

Decided to go here today on my lunch to place an order when walking in the bartender was walking away and said she’d be back to take our to go order, after waiting for a little over 10 minutes a server had walked in she had let me know the bartender would be back I then told her thank you we’ve been waiting a little while already to which she immediately started going OFF on me about being understaffed due to covid, she would not even allow me to say that I had understood she continued to talk over me to which she ultimately replied that there was other restaurants around and told us to go to another place and said “goodbye guys maybe another day” as she continued to walk away. Lol this was the worst customer service experience I’ve had yet. The fact that the server was basically yelling over us when a simple “Oh ok I’ll let her know” or “She’s busy helping the host/servers let me remind her” would have been so nice. There was not even a phone number or option to order online the people behind us had also walked out and left. Disappointed by the entire experience

Cute as hell but the dude wearing a kilt, glasses and red ribbon in his hair, working behind the bar right now is so rude and has the typical snobby, "cool guy" bartender vibe.You're in the service industry, dipsh*t. I don't feel privileged to ask you for a shot. Will for sure avoid. Much nicer bartenders out there.

I ordered the breakfast tacos, the menu said the had potato, egg, bacon, avacado. Mine had egg and potato only, my husband had the breakfast burrito, once again it only had egg and potatoes, no bacon, no salad, nothing like what was on the menu. Service was slow. won't go back, very dissatisfied
We were visiting for the weekend and ended up getting in earlier than anticipated, so on our drive from Phoenix we were looking for something open for brunch with great drinks, and came across TallBoys. We walked over from our hotel and were greeted at the bar, and ushered through to the backyard oasis hidden behind the unassuming walls. We were advised to pick a space we liked, but to please keep our party of 2 at a small table, because it would be "filling up quickly", and boy did it ever! Within 15 minutes dozens of other people started to filter in and by 11:30 the whole courtyard was full, which definitely said something about the treat we were in for! We started with a mimosa and bloody mary but quickly moved onto the house margaritas, which were delicious! They were out of the hibiscus, and gave us prickly pear instead without charging extra. The drink was a beautiful electric pink, and so tasty! We decided to share an order of the much-talked-about tots, as well as a 3 taco plate, and went for a chicken, pork and barbacoa assortment. The portions were great, and my husband and I were well satisfied with those two orders. The tots were perfectly crisped, and somehow managed to evade sogginess from the delicious sauces on them. Our only complaint was that most other tables had a 3 bottle assortment of h made hot sauces, and when we asked, we were given a bottle of Cholulua, and told there werent any more house sauces. They were eventually brought to us about 3/4 of the way through our meal and we almost wished we had just waited for them because they were just the punch we were looking for!! They were so insanely tasty and flavorful, with a perfect amount of heat! The service was OK, but it was very busy, and there were several large parties so I think they were just a little understaffed, but everyone was so kind none the less!

The outdoor patio is truly enjoyable and the drinks are always great! A nice hideaway in the middle of downtown.

Beautiful venue, great atmosphere and unique entertainment. The food was beyond amazing. We did order guacamole and they brought us cheese dip, I said that wasn't what we ordered so they went back to the kitchen but then came back and said it was ours. I said are you sure, and she replied "well it's for table 9". I do not know what table I am sitting at, never have at any restaurant. Turns out when our waitress finally came back she said she wrote guacamole and brought us the guacamole. I loved my adult beverage but because of the lack of attention form our waitress I only had one, and never got a refill on that or my water. Although the food was good, we did wait 45 minutes after placing our order. Overall it was good experience and the venue, quality of food, and atmosphere made up for the short comings.

Being greeted by your server is like a handshake, Loren did a great job tending to us. She made sure we were well fed and comfortable. The food was fresh and perfectly set, fresh tots and good avocados. Coffee to boost the afternoon, can't wait to return ordered the veggie tacos and swapped out the home fries for tots, my new fave breakfast combo.

Excellent food - awesome atmosphere. The outdoor seating area is such a unique place. And when the live music started it was just the right decibel level where we could still have a conversation. The playlist of music playing before the live music was one of the best I've ever heard at a restaurant (some of my faves!). It definitely has a laid back feel when it comes to service so order everything you want at once because the wait staff doesn't make a ton of trips back to you. (They are just so busy, but so kind and professional!). We went on a chilly day and the outdoor heaters were perfectly placed.
