We took some guests up for a late lunch, beers all around and they had O'Douls for our non drinking friend. Kudos for that alone! The pulled pork sandwich, Cole slaw and sweet potato fries were mouth watering good! Buns were warm, fresh and made the whole BBQ sauce a thing of perfection! Guests were so delighted with the whole... More

Love to sit out on the patio when we eat here. Food is always great and the portions are huge. My nephew loves to feed the ground squirrels and road runner his french fries. This restaurant also offers a nice view at sunset. I think they have live music on certain nights too.

Hey folks....you don't go to Tucson McGraw's because it has "haute cuisine". But tuck in there an hour or so before sunset, sit outside, have a couple of "Fat Tires" on tap and revel in the gorgeous scenery to the south and west. You'll love it. The fries are great, and the tri-tip sandwiches are pretty good so just enjoy... More

The prices have gone up, no more french fries with sandwichs, the menu is small - but the service never improves and the place is still dirty as ever. After 8 years of on/off visit and always poor service. We'll not visit again - we go to the New Settlement on Spanish Trail now.

Let me get this out of the way first - what's with the four stupid fake saguaro's? This drives me nuts every time I see the place. I've considered driving my car into them as a public service. As for the view, it is indeed one of the best in east Tucson. It is perched on one of the highest... More

McGraw's has been on the top of that bluff overlooking the stables and "as far as you can see" southern desert seems like --forever! Originally and partially owned by a Canadian who loved the location. Sure, appearances and interior are quite rustic, but little change, other than some paint and some exterior development has occured since its debut! Great outdoor-indoor... More

I've been to this restaurant 3 times and have yet to get served after 20 minutes. Once we actually got water but that was the best. After our third try we decided to call it quits. We never tried again!

Nice view when the doors are open on SE tucson. Typical bar menu, but many items are mesquite-grilled, which is always better! My Dad particularly liked the shrimp. Casual gathering place, friendly service. We felt dinner items were a little pricey, but lunch is a great options, especially the burgers.

It’s not fancy or the least bit nouvelle, but if you’ve got a hankering for red meat and ice-cold beer, you could do worse than this nifty cantina set on a hill overlooking the Santa Rita Mountains.
