Best Restaurants for Foodies in Benson

Food was excellent, hot fresh garlic twists our pastas were spot ion. Pasta “zoodles” Promavera great option if you’re on the GF or low-carb watch. GF pizza dough from a local baker as well. Highly recommended

Very vibrant culinary experience. Waitresses are very kind and solicitous. Food is comfort food and excellent!

Christmas dinner at Sullivan’s was very busy. Considering the number of diners, the staff did an excellent job of service that felt surprisingly personal. We were seated at a table for five that felt surprisingly intimate. We were warned by our server that we were going to have to wait a while for our entrees to be prepared. But the time passed comfortably for us at least as it gave us more time for a good family conversation and visit. We have been dining out each Christmas for 10 years (except for 2 years during the Covid pandemic). This was the best Christmas dining-out experience we have had.

Great food (short ribs and bolognese), amazing wine list, and top notch service (Anthony). Fresh bread was served warm which no one does anymore. Our server was attentive and quick but we did not feel rushed. This is a special place and we will be back.

Amelia's is a local gem. Their food is some of the best in Tucson (even featured in the New York Times!). This little strip mall restaurant is always deservedly busy. Although the space is decorated lovely inside, it's jut not large enough to accommodate the crowd. But, that's okay. The food quality and presentation is worth the wait. Don't miss the birria tacos with caldo ! My husband loves the shrimp tacos. Burros come drenched in amazing sauces that are unique and beautiful. Amelia's is a perfect example of the Tucson Foodie Culture - not to be missed!
