Reviews for Gentle Ben's Brewing in Tucson, AZ
We stopped for lunch on a Saturday and got seated on the patio with no wait. Serve was friendly and prompt. The Tacos were very... good both, we had Baja and vegetarian. Only ordered 2 Tacos vs 3 and with the sides rice or beans it was plenty. Read more
The food is mid, the drinks are mid but the atmosphere is lively! EDIT: changed my review from 3 stars to 2 stars, originally I... wrote my review because there was nothing phenomenal about this place but the atmosphere was great! I came back today to give itanother go since I know places have bad days sometimes, sat at the bar because I know the wait staff are busy and sitting at thebar is hassle free, my food came no joke 35mins after I ordered it. When my soup came it was COLD! I asked a manager walking bywhether or not my soup was supposed to be cold and he laughed and said no it definitely is not. He switched it out which isgreat but this is twice in a row now where something has gone wrong with my order. I don’t even be looking for things to gowrong but twice in a row?? Get it together guys! My friends and I love coming here for the atmosphere, but they’ve proven time& time again that the service of food or sometimes just service in general is abysmal. It’s honestly just better to gosomewhere else on University Blvd or even 4th. Pictured is the second soup that had the avo in it. Also they brought the secondsoup back with avocado when I specifically asked for no avo because I have an allergy. So my time was wasted and I was givencold food. Yikes guys! Giving it two stars because the waitress was really nice this time and tbh not her fault my soup wascold. It’s such a shame because they have one of the best vibes! Read more
Arrived for lunch shortly after opening. About five other tables were occupied. Our sandwich order seemed to take a longtime for... so few customers. Server was pleasant but never came back after serving our food to check-in. Sandwich quality was good. Thecooling misters weren't really needed and the spray wasn't evaporating fast enough, making the table, our phones and glasseswet. Read more
This was my first time eating at this establishment. I wasn't at all "wowed" by my experience. I ordered the California burger.... Initially it looked nice. As I cut into my burger the bottom bun was so charred that I had to saw through it. Why didn't I sendit back? I'm not that person. And on top of that our waitress didn't ask how our meal was. Besides that the cook already knewthey burned my food. It was very obvious. So that alone told me that it wouldn't be worth it to complain. We sat on the patioand were attacked by flies. I was under the impression that if they had outside seating they might have some sort of pestdeterant system. I was wrong. So in light of this experience I don't feel that it would be worth a second visit or a goodreview. Over priced for no good reason. Read more
Service was prompt and food was great. Went during lunch rush and did not have to wait long for food and felt like they have a... system down pretty good. Read more
I have been to Gentle Ben’s many times and have usually had a great time (eg 5 stars), but today for lunch, it was a 4. ... Nothing that bad, but a “medium” burger should not be 100% brown and a bit dry. I would have sent it back, but we were agroup of 6 and everyone else seemed ok, so I really did not want to sit there with no food as the others ate, nor see them tryto politely wait while I waited for my “re-do”. Service was good at least! VictorB Read more
Loved how clean this place was. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food here was spectacular, the adult drinks are also... very tasty. The burgers are fresh, big and full of veggies, cheese and sauce. The fries were seasoned perfectly and perfectlycrisp. Loved the atmosphere as well as the helpful servers. Great stop for dinner to start your night on the strips. Read more
Your basic burgers, sandwiches, beers, on University Avenue steps from the campus. Mostly a student hang out, but there's a big... outdoor/street side patio, usually with a mixed crowd (including older people like me!). Good, friendly service. Recommended asa chill place for a drink at the end of the day... Read more
