JERRY BOBS RESTAURANT - TUCSON, AZ

I haven't been here since Tucson #1 and it hasn't changed. The service is still friendly, the food is good but not great, the prices are low and the restaurant is sparsely decorated - in fact, not decorated at all; sort of the ambience of an eating warehouse.

I had a combo with 2 scrambled eggs and ham with onions over hashed browns and a biscuit. There was lots of ham which was all tasty. The biscuit was huge (and can you imagine? my request of extra butter yielded 2 tiny midget silver cups. the waitress looked with disbelief when i asked for at least 6 more.) but too heavy. while it was warm, though, it was satisfying -  all lathered in melted butter with a smear of jelly on each bite. Yum.

We used the coupon that they've run for years - order 1 entree and 2 beverages and the other entree is free. I didn't want a beverage but ordered a decaf coffee; ended up 'saving' about 30 cents.

MILLIE'S PANCAKE HAUS - TUCSON, AZ

One of these visits i'll try their lunch; so far i've only been here for breakfast. Their food is good but not extraordinary. Service has always been friendly and prompt and the restaurant itself is cheery and homey and cozy. reminds me of Heidi's restaurant in  Gresham, OR; a Dutch big-bosomed comforting gingerbread mama feel.



I had 2 scrambled eggs, 3 pcs. of bacon (done perfectly) and toast with some fruit. The fruit was Tucson dessicated wood flavored which means NO flavor except for a smidgen from the wafer thin orange slice and the honeydew melon.

I also ordered some cornflakes and the waitress remembered that i had wanted my milk warmed to room temperature. I appreciated that.


Millie's is located on Tanque Verde near Pima; across from the miniature golf course.






I for sure will be back.
