Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in East Tucson

The Commoner is back! I have been going here since it opened and it’s been through a rough patch, but I’m glad to see the restaurant was busy, great food and a lively atmosphere my daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful meal in the bar great service. Really enjoyed the Caesar salad with chicken.  would love another salad option on the menu.

We tried Renee‘s in 2023, it was so delicious we had to come back. Not everyone has a perfect dining experience 2 times in a row, our 2nd dining experience was equal to or better than the 1st. I thought the salads were a bit pricey until I got mine, the quality & portion was excellent & worth every penny. The Oh Honey Board - DElicious!!! My friend ordered the lasagna & loved it but was a bit rich for her, I LOVED it & thought it was perfect. My husbands pizza was packed with flavor & the crust was superb. My pan seared chicken with sundried tomatoes was so good BUT I needed more garlic which they gladly provided. (I LOVE my garlic) Our waitress was very friendly & helpful to me in selecting my meal. We were unable to finish our food & gladly took leftovers. The only fault with Renee’s is you’re too full to order dessert. One other issue people might have is children under the age of 12 are not allowed 😳 So if your children are over 12, I highly recommend going to this place. If I find myself in Tucson again Renee‘s will always be one of my dining choices A MUST try! Sorry I forgot to take photos

We always enjoy Culinary Dropout and today was no exception!

Great taco lunch and able to watch the game in the bar with fellow fans! The prickly pair margaritas are divine, too. Terrific service. Great dining option, especially when staying at Lodge.

We used Open Table and made our reservation for Christmas lunch. We were pleasantly surprised as we drove to the restaurant. It was a great ambience. The food choices on the menu and the specials all sounded amazing. Made it hard to choose especially after our waitress Margarita shared her favorites. We decided we would just have bread before our meal because all the portions looked large. I had the freshest salad with honey mustard the house dressing. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was perfection. Not too rich. It was well balanced lemon crème sauce with stuffed lobster ricotta pasta. My husband and our other guest both got baked Mostaccioli. They loved it and both took home leftovers. We had tiramisu and I had vanilla and chocolate gelato with chocolate and caramel syrup which our waitress made at her recommendation. Yum!! There. Was nothing I would have changed. It was such a great meal. I'm ready to go back now and highly recommend.
