We had an incredible dining experience, thanks in large part to our amazing server, Jillian! My nephew has a severe food allergy, and she handled it flawlessly. She communicated our concerns perfectly to the kitchen and patiently answered all of our questions, giving us complete peace of mind. To top it off, the food and drinks were a perfect 10/10. …

Shoutout to the waitress—they were seriously amazing Super kind and actually went to check with the kitchen about my order so I knew what was going on. Ended up getting my food in like 5 minutes which was wild. I had the ribs and rigatoni and both were SO good—perfectly seasoned. Also, the vibe of the place is beautiful, like …

I love this restaurant. When you want to splurge a bit and have fun there are lots of activities for kids for family events. It’s a bit pricey but the quality and service are more than worth it! Every waitress we’ve ever had has been amazing. The food is so good. If they need to make accommodations they do. The …

Great experience eating and letting the kids Play. I would mention that kids under about a 48” height are an inconvenience since they can’t play any of the games they have, but if older, plenty of fun!

Culinary Dropout just earned itself a permanent spot on our Prickly Passport list 🌵🔥 We rolled in after the St. Paddy’s dinner chaos and wow, instant obsession. This place isn’t just good, it’s a full-on flex. Charcuterie board was masterclass level goodness. Pineapple mules? Dangerous in the best way. Homemade chips? Addictive enough to start a fight over. And then …

Outstanding gastropub in Tucson AZ. Great menu. Extensive drink list. Huge venue for watching sports. Indoor and outdoor seating. Super friendly staff. Tons of parking. Food was really good. Had the chicken soup and prime rib dip and both terrific. Kind of in an out of the way location, but well worth the drive. Highly recommended!!

We went for brunch on Valentine’s Day. We loved the special cocktail menu! The server wasn’t happy with how the pink cocktail looked and insisted on sending it back. It returned ultra frothy and delicious! I love my refreshing Caesar salad. I added shrimp, and they came out perfectly cooked. My husband enjoyed the healthy southwest bowl; it has a …
