First, I'm a Tucson Native and have know about Daisy Mae's for awhile, even been there before and the food was delicious.However, I went there on the 26th of December to celebrate my daughters birthday and I left perplexed and shocked.I ordered a prickly pear margarita to start. I got what tasted like a normal margarita, I asked about it and was told, yeah... that's a prickly pear. I've had several prickly pear margaritas and if that was prickly pear - it was unrecognizable. I asked for an amarreto sour instead. That turned out ok. We all ordered and the majority of food ordered was the sirloin for 31.00 each. There was two orders of 1/2 rack of ribs and 1/2 chicken. Both of the 1/2 orders came with an ultra spicy BBQ sauce that no one liked. One sirloin came out looking like it was bearly a sirloin... it was so small and scraggly that Outback wouldn't have served it. Many people in our party had to use a ton of A1 sauce as the steak had no flavor, we could taste the mesquite, but barely. The salads were just basic a ring of red onion, one tomato, and two slices of cucumber on a huge bed of lettuce. We asked for beans and got a small bowl for 7 people. The best things were the potatoes and bread. We also asked for salsa, but never go it. Our daughter did get her complimentary ice cream sundae and said it was good!We would have complained to the manager (I did let the waiter know how crappy the food was, he said he would tell his manager, but we never saw a manager), but the service was so slow and absent that we just wanted to leave. While our waiter was nice, it wasn't hopping with customers, and we had to wait multiple times for water refill. Our check did come out with out the two drinks being charged, but they tacked on a 20% gratuity for our party of 7, which I knew about. At the end of the night, I paid almost 300.00 for crappy food and subpar service. I will no longer recommend Daisy Mae's to anyone, nor will I go there again. I could have honestly gone to Outback Steakhouse, gotten better food and paid less... same with El Corral too.

"We just had another GREAT Tucson steak dinner here! Mike was our server and was simply the best. NY strip was cooked to perfection They have horseradish in two separate intensities if that's your thing Be sure to order the mud pie!Note to manager. Please consider signage saying "Users of electronics MUST wear headphones to not distract other diners." There was a clueless family whose child was watching an iPad with sound on. Rude but can be managed with assertive action. Thanks!"
"I was at the Apple Store handling some repairs on my AirPod Max. Wanted a good steak and I came here for the ribeye Cajun style. It was awesome, perfectly rare, totally tender and deliciously seasoned. I got the deviled eggs and they had pieces of bacon and pepper in them and they were amazing as well a nice whiskey to wash it down and I had an amazing meal. It was totally worth what I paid for it."
