We've been there three times now. Every single time, whether it be a Wednesday, a Friday or a Sunday, the wait has been over an hour. Fortunately there were 2 of us, and the bar had seats open, so our only experience has been at the bar. The first time the steaks were under cooked. They were slammed at the time, and I didn't sent it back because I ate the ribs and just saved the steak for the next day. Reheating it, it became the perfect temp. Their dinner rolls are to die for! The ribs were outstanding and filet was amazing the next day. This is now my new favorite steak place, but during popular hours, there is no parking and a long wait.

Dining out is not just about eating food. I have been patronizing L'il Abner's Steakhouse for about 40 years...long before it was engulfed by the megalopolis sprawl of Continental Ranch development. The old Butterfield Stage stop has been a Tucson icon for 70+years, where you could get a basic but really good steak etc. Since it WAS a Tucson institution, last night I took a life long friend who was visiting Tucson for the first time for the EXPERIENCE.RIP Abner's It now ranks as one of the WORSE dining experiences of my 7+ decades. Although not particularly busy, it took almost 10 minutes to be seated. Another 10 minutes to get water and menus??? (Note: there didn't used to be menus as there were only 4 items available.)It was all downhill from there. The food (if one could call it that) was horrible. You don't go there for a 4 star Michelin dining experience (although the prices are now approaching that level). Our party of three had the 1 lb. T bone which was barely 1/2" thick, flaccid and dry; a rack of beef ribs, greasy, fatty, almost no meat and burnt to ash on the ends; and the "piece de resistance" a bone-in ribeye which was so tough and grisly that cutting it almost broke the steak knife! Neither the product (would not qualify as "Utility" grade let alone "Choice") nor the preparation of the entrees was even remotely appealing. The sides: the beans tasted canned, the salad just iceberg lettuce, and the "texas toast" seemed to be garlic and margarine slathered wonder bread.None of the three of my group are "complainers" or self styled restaurant critics (this is my first review ever) but this was INEDIBLE. I wouldn't even feed this food to dogs. All of our party have some gastric distress this morning. Health inspection????Attempting to report this first with our server and ultimately with the manager was the next stage of this ordeal. After much back and forth, in a begrudging effort to mollify us first deducted only a portion of the "bone-in ribeye" off the bill and ran my credit card. When I asserted that this was NOT satisfactory to the manager, they ask me for my credit card again so that they could further adjust the bill, the manager saying that she was only charging us for the drinks (1 beer 1 wine) and server gratuity, but in actuality only adjusted the bill a few dollars all in the dark of the corner of the bar. THEN they posted BOTH charges through to my credit card!!!! (the charges are in excess of $150 for three).The only thing they could have done to make the entire experience worse would be to have physically assault us.In summary STAY AWAY!!!! there is a landfill only a few miles away where you could scrounge a better meal. What a tragedy that such a Tucson Icon has deteriorate to this degree.

This is the perfect venue for a memorable fine dining occasion! I recently hosted a dinner party for 12 guests @ Bobâs to celebrate my milestone birthday. I could not have picked a better setting. Upon arrival, we all gathered on their lovely patio over looking the Tucson National Golf course. We enjoyed cocktails & panko shrimp which were gigantic & so very tasty. Most of us could have made a meal out of the shrimp. The dinner was served in one of their private dining rooms, which worked out very well for our large group. The majority of guests ordered the 9 oz filet mignon & a few had the 14 oz. Prime ribeye steak. Everyoneâs meat was cooked to perfection with no complaints! Meal portions as well as desserts are quite large. I had the carrot cake since that is my favorite, but others ordered key lime pie & the creme brûlée. Everything was absolutely delicious & all my guests raved about the quality of the food. I cannot say enough about the excellent customer service we received. The service staff was exceptional!

Iâve reviewed this restaurant very favorably when it was previously Coltâs Taste of Texas. While the decor and menu hasnât really changed, the food quality has dipped some and the service was terrible when we went for Fatherâs Day dinner. It wasnât that busy, but we were seated and no one bothered to pay attention to us until we asked, despite several employees walking by our table. We were told they âcouldnât find our serverâ but got someone else to cover. We kind of felt in no manâs land. Took forever to get our appetizers, then another LONG wait and they brought our entrees but never did bring our salads first. Waiter said he didnât realize the kitchen would have the entrees out so âfastâ, but in reality we think he just forgot about us. This used to be one of my favorite places to go but I think we will pass on future visits, sadly.
