Reviews For Elliott's on Congress

After having a medicore experience at a rival business, this place absolutely delivered. We stopped in here on a whim with no expectations and were floored by the service, drinks, and impeccable good food. Not only were the servers friendly and made you feel like a regular, but the food was absolutely delicious and the prices were spot on perfect, to encourage good times for the entire night. If you visit Tucson, stop by Elliot's and grab a drink or a bite, you won't be disappointed.

I’m writing this review as I sit at my table, that’s how much I loved this experience. Drinks were great. My server was lovely. Garlic parm fries were good but the ranch?? I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life and I’m absolutely mind blown that the best ranch I’ve had in my life is in Tucson, AZ. The lemon cheesecake couldn’t get better, I enjoyed every last bite I forced myself to eat - because I ate my entire western burger and every last fry and I feel like I’m going to explode. Karaoke night was a blast. 10/10 experience. Everyone should try this place at least once in their lives.

Elliot’s at congress was a great choice for me and my boyfriend! I was just passing through Friday and saw this place and thought we could give it a try. My server Jessi was top tier. She was amazing at letting me know some of her favorite dishes. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. She even helped me decide on what to get because I’m soo picky! She was patient and attentive. Our drinks were never empty and she even made sure to get us to try the banana tots! I highly recommend this place and I hope I get to stop through again and get served by Jessi!

I only had the french fries and a couple of beers, but I just had to come here to say this place was great! Coming into Tucson from small town Ajo and this place made me feel like home. Ashley, Grace, and Hailey were so great, and I felt like we were long time friends! Excellent service and great little "hole in the wall". Thanks for making me feel so welcomed!

Kitchen was closed after midnight so just hung out for a while. Nice laid-back vibe with quick service from the bartender. Happy hour pricing after midnight so a good value, too! Next time I'll get there earlier to try out the kitchen. The pizza shop next door had brought over some pizza so it was a nice surprise to enjoy late at night!

This place was honestly a surprise. I was not expecting much when we decided to give this spot a try, but wow I was impressed! I felt well taken care of from the time we came in until we left. Fabulous drinks with their own infused vodkas, delicious food (the duck tacos were amazing), and such friendly and welcoming service. I will definitely come back the next time I visit!

Basically no healthy options which means the food is YUM!! Awesome Bloody Mary with infused vodka options, yummmmm. They stay pretty busy, I go for happy hour, and pretty soon the place is full. Great staff! The owner has a knack for hiring awesome people who know how to have fun at work.

First time here and my husband and I will def be back! Not only was the food delicious and the duck SO tender but we enjoyed exceptional service from Bailey who is an absolute sweetheart- she was the only waitress tonight and took the time to be professional and courteous to everyone and brought our food and drinks in record time despite the night being busy which we greatly appreciated. I absolutely recommend coming here when she is working because you will have an incredible experience!
