"Brunch was excellent for the celebration of our 29th wedding anniversary. We did not care for the fruity Ice Tea and the servers made a great effort to provide my wife and I with natural ice tea.
The musicians provided an extra pleasure to the brunch. We shall come back with other members of our family"

"Amazing selection of deleciables and with each visit the chef adds an intriguing new twist. Great selection of ingredients at he omelet station and a mouth-watering carving station, but be sure to leave room for the decadent deserts. Service is very good and the blues duo is the perfect accompaniment to the mountain views."

"We've had Brunch here on and off for years. So many other places have changed, gone or just are not what they use to be. We can count on the Canyon Cafe Brunch to be consistently what we have liked for years. Why would we go somewhere else?"

"We have been coming here many years now for special occasions and have been pleased except for the Mothers Day Brunch. The service is just chaotic on this day. The hostess will never give you the table you requested weeks ago and have even stated that you would wait for. As a matter of fact the table we wanted was in our view a few feet away sitting empty the whole time we were there until we left! Not sure what the hostesses are doing here, they seem untrained, unprofessional and lost. The servers are normally great here other than a holiday. During M-Day there are servers I have never seen before and they seem overwhelmed and really do not serve the tables well because of that. This will be our last M-Day here. Outdoor grill is the best!"

"Really appreciated the staff who was very kind to seat us even though we were delayed and arrived just 20 minutes before closing. I was treating my daughter and her friend to lunch and was hoping we would not be turned away as I really wanted them to experience the ambiance and food. Our server was "Moses" and he was great. Really helpful and attentive and didn't seem the least bothered by how late we were. The food was really great and very fresh.
Really appreciated the staff. What could have been a stressful and cold reception was exactly the opposite and my daughter, her friend and I all walked away saying what a great lunch it was."

I had champagne & my husband had beer which was included in the price & the wait staff was efficient at checking on us. Don't know what to recommend in terms of the food because there was nothing that we chose that we didn't like. We will go back."

"We think the Blues,Brews & Barbeques Sunday buffet is the best brunch in Tucson.Last week and again this Sunday they were as busy as we've ever seen them due to spring break resort guests but the service was as excellent as ever.The variety of food choices is extensive, from breakfast favorites to custom omelets.There are always five or six salads, cheese and nuts, a cold seafood table featuring oysters, shrimp and mussels.Outside is the barbeque, with a carving station,an array of grilled vegetables, beans, cornbread, mac and cheese, grilled salmon, pulled pork, Sonoran hotdogs,& my favorite BBQ pork ribs.With our 1pm start they did run out of a few things so go early.And enjoy the Blues musicians & the local beers plus champagne & mimosas"

"Party of three. Disappointed in Spinach salad ... many greens w/ few, small pecans pieces and very strong pungent large pieces blue cheese. The squash bisque was greasy w/o buttery taste as described although they modified our check accordingly. Server asked if we'd like Tortia chips w/ guacamole w/o mentioning it was a $12 option. Overall poorest quite expensive lunch in some time."
