Best Southwest American Restaurants in Benson

Great place to take out of town guests to celebrate the beauty of Tucson. Food and service was great.

This restaurant is always a treat. There is usually a jazz combo performing, and on this Friday night, it also featured a singer performing standards from the American Song Book. It makes a nice atmosphere for dinner. The patio was a little chilly this night, but the staff, without being asked, thoughtfully seated us in a room with a fireplace adjacent to the patio where it was quieter, but we could still hear the music well. The food selections are good here, and there is a very good wine list, including wines "on tap" which are reasonably priced, always fresh, and good. It's a southwest style menu, with good variety and vegetarian options. The staff is great here, and they cheerfully modify menu items to suit your taste. And Hacienda del Sol is such a beautiful resort with its wonderful garden entry, valet parking, and historic charm.

This was our second meal at T&P. The food, again, was exquisite. Everything about the meal was done superbly…. The atmosphere is convivial and has a nice hum of conversation without being overwhelmingly noisy. The space is kind of Goldilocks perfect in size - just right. We have really enjoyed our wine selections when ordering a bottle. Interesting, unexpected and surprisingly good. Ordering by the glass has a very limited offering. We did have a tiny hitch in the long wait for our entree after our appetizer. There were two large tables of diners and perhaps that was taxing for the kitchen. Right now this our absolute favorite Tucson restaurant and we plan to be back many more times.

Catherine was our waitress and was excellent. We sat by the fireplace and enjoyed it. We met a lovely couple toward the end who frequently dine there and had a lovely chat with them!

Great taco lunch and able to watch the game in the bar with fellow fans! The prickly pair margaritas are divine, too. Terrific service. Great dining option, especially when staying at Lodge.
