Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Oro Valley

Red Lobster Tucson I hate to sound surprised that we enjoyed Red Lobster in Tucson on Oracle Rd as much as we did, but we don’t normally eat either at Red Lobster specifically or at similar restaurants in the Red Lobster category (to me), so we weren’t expecting it to be as great as it turned out to be! First of all, the service was just great. And I am attentive to and critical of service when there are indeed service issues. Our server was Ashley and she did just an outstanding job. Every detail was attended to, and pleasantly and cheerfully. She was easy to work with and really added to the positive dining experiience. Let’s put it this way - we’ve had much worse service at restaurants in the fine dining category. Ashley was all over sides, menu information, drinks, checking on us, it was all just smooth and easy and pleasant. Now, the food. It was great. I take no issue whatsoever with food quality, taste, or presentation. I had the lobster tail with 12 oz sirloin - both were great. Portion size was really excellent, too. I felt it was a great value, given how good it was. Steak was juicy and flavorful, cooked exactly to temperature requested (medium well in my case); lobster tail was easy to remove from the shell, and buttery and delicious (yes the butter sauce is a nice accompaniment, as are the light, fluffy cheddar biscuits (YUM!!)). Baked potato was even really good, with the salted exterior and all that. And the appetizer was great, too - we had the bacon-wrapped scallops. Sizable scallops, tender and tasty, and nice smoky bacon wrapped around them. They were good! Wine selection was good, too, value there wasn’t bad, and as I mentioned, the value overall to me was great! That’s a lot of food of high quality for a reasonable price in a nice quiet atmosphere where the service is as great as the food. How can you not enjoy that?

This establishment is worth a try, simple menu which covers a variety of dishes, the professional staff is attentive and knowledgeable. I'd recommend it to family and friends for a good casual dining experience.

This was the perfect place to celebrate Galentines Day with gal pals. Food service and vibe great!!

Food and service both phenomenal as always. Great way to unwind after a long week.

Our Thanksgiving at Bob's Chop House was unforgettable. Some of the best turkey and side I have ever had. Service outstanding. Well be backfor holidays and stakes.
