Diner Reviews

"Excellent in every aspect as always. See you next year !!"
Dined on 3/9/2014
"Disappointingly, this brunch tradition on Sundays has been going down in quality year after year. The process seems to have accelerated comparing this year to last. New management cost cutting approaches yet keeping the same price is only going to hurt and reduce attendance. The same price will not bring new clientele and going down on quality will drive away those who were used to a better standard as was the case few years ago."

"The Sunday brunch at the Canyon Cafe is a favorite. We try to go a few times a year. The variety and the quality of the food is great. There is definitely something for everyone. The bbq lineup on the patio is a lot of fun."

"Best in Tucson Sunday Brunch. Great place to take out of town guests, a date or just to share a wonderful brunch with family and friends. They have a seafood bar, sushi table, salad bar, omelet bar and breakfast items, bloody Mary bar and a never ending dessert bar. The Grill goes non stop outside with meats sliced to order including beef, lamb and turkey along with ribs, salmon and an endless selection of vegetables including chillies, onions, corn, tomatoes. Pots of beans, shredded meat in bbq sauce and pans of corn bread to name a few of an endless selection. Beer is on tap and champagne or mimosas are all included. Its a great way to spend a special day."

"The salmon with risotto and asparagus was superb!!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We were seated at a table by the window, looking out on the outdoor dining and pool. The food was good and plentiful, with a excellent variety; the mimosas never ending. Our service started out slow but improved during the meal. We all left full and satisfied."

"Blues, Brews and Barbeques Sunday brunch is a magnificent feed, one of our big favorites. Window walls allow the beautiful mountain view to be seen from inside as well as outside. Two excellent blues duos rotate Sunday duty and they're set up outside-if you really want to hear them sit there, because sound doesn't travel into the restaurant. Otherwise, you'll just get a quick listen while you're out collecting the delicious ribs, pulled pork, barbeque chicken and salmon, carved meats, Sonoran hot dogs, tasty sides and local brews. The friendly staff is quick to keep your champagne glass filled. Inside, enjoy the Bloody Mary bar, the cold seafood, the salads, the hot breakfast dishes. Not cheap at $42, but you'll leave really happy."

"The food and service were outstanding. There was a mind boggling variety of food to choose from. It was awesome."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"The Sunday BBQ Jazz Brunch is a got to go to. We can't say which is the most outstanding, the food, jazz, service or view. We have been to lunch at the Canyon Café often and have never had a complaint but were totally surprised at everything about the brunch. Even if you only go once, you should do it,."

"Had a nice surprise for a buffet at Canyon Cafe. Excellent"
Dined on 12/31/2013
"The dinner buffet was terrific. While my first thought was that it could have been more extensive with more choices, it ended up being just right. The food was outstanding!"

"great place for christmas brunch. tons of food, everywhere."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"It had been several years since we drove the 18 miles across town to have lunch at the Canyon Cafe. It's still the perfect place for a wonderful lunch with visiting family or friends. Great food, attentive service and what I think is the most beautiful setting of any Southern Arizona resort. My favorite--- the French dip roast beef sandwich served with three dips, including a marvelous horseradish sauce, My guests were delighted with their luncheon salads. We'll be back soon!"

"Most decadent Thanksgiving meal I have ever been to!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
"We had a weekday lunch here. The ambiance, view, service and food were very good. . Our friend thought her veggie burger was excellent; the dessert trio was yummy; the pepperoni flat bread pizza was fine. Sometime we plan to try the Brunch as it seems to get great reviews."
Dined on 11/20/2013
"The service and variety of food was excellent. Well worth the price. The grounds are beautiful.. The pool is available for use and you can walk up the trail to the waterfall. Mimosas, beer on tap, and a Bloody Mary bar complete your experience. The live blues music was great also"
Dined on 11/17/2013
"Canyon Cafe provides the best brunch in AZ!!!! The selection of foods was amazing, service impeccable, ambiance perfect for the occasion! There is not a better Sunday brunch anywhere in AZ!!!!"
Dined on 11/10/2013
"Had Sunday brunch at Loews Canyon Café and it lived up to reviews I had read- great variety of food, desert, and drinks, nice blues music combo, and interesting twist with outdoor BBQ going! It was nice to get up into the foothills, walk around the resort, and enjoy the atmosphere. I will definitely be back another time when I'm visiting Tucson."
Dined on 11/10/2013
"Very nice brunch - great range of food including a huge selection of grilled veggies, complementary mimosas, and GREAT blues."
Dined on 11/10/2013
"I have come to expect that everything is always as good as the last time we were there. It is always consistent, we are never disappointed. Well, maybe a little because they don't usually have Ham, which I really like. It great place to go with friends, you never feel like they are in a hurry for you to vacate your table. It is easy to have conversations."
Dined on 10/20/2013
"My youngest daughter now lives in Tucson and we come here each time any of our family come out to visit. I found it by doing a google search for Sunday Brunch and it has become a must when in town."
Dined on 9/22/2013
"We come here every few months for their festive Sunday brunch-Blues, Brews and Barbeques. This, our latest trip, took place after Labor Day, before the winter visitors show up. There's less choice than during busier months, fewer salads, fewer items on the outdoor grill, less of a choice in desserts. We like the place and will return, but the spread isn't as opulent when the tourists aren't around, and the price isn't any lower. When you're done eating go feed the koi."
Dined on 9/15/2013
"Our group of diners likes to go to the Canyon Café at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort for the brunch at least once a year. It is a real treat. The food is great and the variety is amazing. Service is exceptional. We can all hear each other when we talk and are probably the noisiest group there. We are treated like we are important and valued as a customer. We plan to continue the tradition that started a few years ago and even possibly increase the frequency. This is a wonderful "special" place for brunch."
Dined on 9/8/2013
"We had a great experience. Everyone we talked to was very friendly. Our server thoughtfully split the salad and sandwich we shared. We weren't urged to order things we didn't want, such as appetizers. (One of our pet peeves at other restaurants!) The outdoor view was wonderful. The atmosphere was so friendly that we even struck up a conversation with other diners! The desserts were incredibly yummy!"
Dined on 9/7/2013
"My waitress treated my elderly father like a king. The food was excellent. They sat us specifically in a quiet spot so my hard of hearing Dad could actually enjoy the conversation. Waitress went out of her way to get him the kind of dessert he wanted even if it wasn't on the lunch menu. I thought the food was excellent, but more importantly ... the service and ambiance was exceptional. Very appreciative."
Dined on 8/31/2013
"The Sunday brunch has just about everything you could want, the food is delicious, the service is very good and the champagne flows!"
Dined on 7/14/2013
"Took a group of friends for Sunday brunch. Food selection was fair - nothing great - typical buffet food. Service was very poor. We had to constantly ask for refills of champagne/sparking wine - only to have the waitress return 15 minutes later with mimosas. The bus staff would not refill water glasses - instead pointing us to the waitress who was MIA. Overall, not a good value or experience."
Dined on 6/2/2013
"Food was fantastic and fresh even though we were in the second to last seating for brunch. Moses and alisha were friendly and enthudiastic, and since we were a first time group they directed us to each different table. Couldn't have been a better experience. I expected the food quality from what I had heard and read, but as someone who works in the industry, I was most impressed by the quality of our waiter and waitress. It's hard to bring your A game at the end of a shift, but when you have two great employees like that it's easy to see why this brunch is number 1"
Dined on 6/23/2013
"We came here for Sunday brunch and we're completely impressed. All the food was amazing and they have something for everyone. The service was probably the best I've ever received. I especially loved the seafood station and the bottomless mimosas and champagne. Was so impressed I went back the following Friday for the beer garden bbq. Highly recommended :-) ."
Dined on 6/14/2013
"We have gone to the Brews, Blues and BBQ's brunch at least once or twice a year for the past 8 years. When family visits or special occasions arise we go to your brunch. It's a wonderful selection and service is terrific. Kudos to our last server "Tasha" who did an Above and Beyond job! We even had out wedding brunch last July 15th, 2012 at your brunch with 14 family members! Our long distance family who have experienced your service with us now send us gift certificates for Christmas gifts so we can keep going! We love it and the property. Even as Tucson locals, its a real gem!"

"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"

"If you're attending a conference at this resort, this restaurant is about the only game in town. The resort is far from downtown Tucson, but fortunately, the food, ambiance and service are very good."
Dined on 5/2/2013
"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."

"Wonderful Mother's day brunch. The food choices were extensive and delicious!"

"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?"
Dined on 5/12/2013
"Great food for all. Omelets to seafood! Beautiful place. A little pricey especially on holidays so be sure to go hungry!"
Dined on 5/12/2013
"Didn't know this venue has a regular Sunday Brunch, not a brunch just for special occasions! The food selection was beyond compare, the service was exceptional considering it was Mother's Day and very busy. Definitely a "come back to.""
Dined on 5/12/2013
"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!"
