Wow, this place rocks. Great ambiance and character. Hipster like. Very friendly snd attentive staff. Everyone smiled and said hi to us. Love how they serve drinks in mason jars. I had the Big Jim which is a giant cheese covered biscuit with a country fried chicken breast covered in gravy in the middle. I added a fried egg. Some bacon and potato salad finished the plate out. Wife had the grilled vegetable breakfast which is kinda their take on huevos rancheros. Sides were crispy hash browns, homemade tortillas and some yellow watermelon. It was so good I had to order one too. Yes I had 2 breakfasts and didn't even leave the table. Gluttony is a sin so I'm in trouble but it was so worth it. We will be back soon as they have a huge menu and dinner options too. We recommend this great joint to all our friends and all Tucsonans.
This place immediately reminded me The Grill that used to be on Congress, downtown.
Anyway, I loved that they kept the old Chaffins exterior and made subtle changes to the interior. To begin, the exterior is nicely landscaped and they even have an L-shaped wood bench, under the palm tree near the front door. Upon walking in you see sky blue booths and bar stools, unique candles and an alcoholic bar (see pics for details). The walls are white with a few simple framed pictures including the 2 hilariously odd ones outside of the restrooms. You can see the kitchen that it's situated behind the bar seating.
The service: Our service was great. There were 2 people that waited on a row of booths & from my observations there was never anyone waiting.
The food: Their menu is unique in that it offers breakfast and lunch, non-alcoholic, alcoholic (beer, wine and liquor/cocktails). I describe the food as slightly Cajun inspired.
My dad & I ordered a Welcome Breakfast (2 eggs, hashbrowns & a delucious homemade biscuit). I added two thick pieces of bacon and my dad added andouille. Andouille is a cajun inspired smoked sausage with a slight kick to it but nothing too overpowering. Needless to say, our meals were great. Water was serviced in a mason jar & was ice cold.
Parking: It is located just East of downtown off Broadway, off of Euclid. It has am ample free parking lot with spots in the shade.
Great food! Great feeling in the diner. I like the memories on the wall, definately connects you to the diner instantly. Super cool feel, I loved it. Our waitress and waiter/host were amazing! I had Cranberry pecan salad mac n cheese with andoullie sausage! So good. The ginger pomegranate soda, not too sweet not too sour.
I loved everything about the place. The decor is retro-ish but not overly done, it was comfortable. The staff is friendly and informative about the food. One waitresses, with a lovely smile, took the time to tell us about her newest creation, a pie with Carmel corn! I'll definitely be back. In the meantime please enjoy one of the most photogenic plates of food on the planet. Avocado Toast. Sexy.
We came in for dinner on our last night in Tucson. It was a wonderful way to end our trip. Everything on the menu looked great and when we asked for advice pretty much everything on the far right hand side of the menu is recommended. I’m not a huge fan of tomato but the fried green tomato sandwich sounded delicious and it was. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection, the service was excellent, and the decor and seats were very comfortable. I think it’s a nice touch that they provide postcards and mail them for you. If we are ever back in town we will definitely come here and highly recommend it.
Staff is accommodating and friendly. A high recommendation. Locally sourced food and was decent. Cocktails were lovely. I highly recommend for a night out.
Such a cute place! Friendly staff! The coffee was delicious and the three sisters burrito was unusual and amazing. Loved eating here!
This place serves delicious food. Period. If you try anything, go for the posole...if they have any, they are sometimes out by Sunday.
However a good breakfast standby are the roast veggies with eggs, go for over-medium.
But really explore the menu, you're likely to find something you like. Think Nana's kitchen with a twist; the pan birote with chorizo and potatoes is always a hit, and of course nothing says breakfast like a little day drinking.

I came here for the vegan food options, but the naked man printed on the very eclectic cover of the menu is what really made it worthwhile! Cozy little diner that beautifully captures the look and feel of a diner and well kept inside. The service was good, all the staff were friendly and food came out fast. I had the Jackfruit Poboy. Wow, probably the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be back to get that again.
The food did not disappoint.i ordered gumbo and it was delicious. The place had a retro vibe to it. The cuisine,modern. The wait staff was pleasant and knowledgeable.the prices reasonable
Was in town for the Baja Beer Fest, and had to swing through here to check out Phoenix’s sister diner. It was the perfect spot to finish up our day trip down to Tucson. Vibe felt spot-on in comparison to the Phx location, only this location is HUGE with a cool little ‘living room’ styled seating area in the back with a projector tv. Also has an inviting, roomy outdoor section out back too. We started off with the Banh Mi French Fries which had amazing flavor, but probably could have used some more sauce - maybe some pickled veggies and cilantro too. And the main dish we split was the chefs special that night, the Big Jim, a fried chicken sandwich but sub’d the normal bacon gravy for chorizo gravy. So so so delicious. Definitely check it out. If you’re into neon lighting, you’ll dig this place.
