Very good beer, food and service. Its a little pricey but it's warranted. The beer is a bit higher octane so you have to watch it a bit.

The atmosphere of this place is great. I was greeted by the host in a nice and friendly manner and seated right away. The food is great, came out hot and the portions are large. The Mexican food is great! Will definitely return to Gentle Bens. 

Business response:

Thanks for your review! We look forward to your next visit 😊

I have been there twice for parent weekend. Very unorganized, not enough staff, does not prepare for the amount of people coming from out of town. Took 90 minutes + for food. I won't go back there. 

Business response:

We're very sorry you had to wait so long for your food. We work to make sure we're staffed accordingly, but on busy weekends it can be hectic, especially with special events such as Family Weekend.

Waitress came to table once in 3hrs service sucks! 

Business response:

Hi Eric, Thanks for coming in and supporting the Tucson 12s. I appolagize for your server only checking in on you one time. That is not the level of service that we are going for and I will look into see why this happened to ensure this doesn't happen again. Stop in next week for the Hawks night game and we will make it up to you.

Good beer, great service, great food. However straws were too thin (cocktail straws) and if you are a pub you need to have malt vinegar for fries. 

Business response:

Hi Jodi, We just wanted to let you know that we have finally upgraded to big straws. Come check it out next time you are in the area.
