Daisy Mae's Steakhouse

Daisy Mae's gets a four star, not exceptional but decent enough to go back at some point. I had a full rack of ribs, definately fall off the bone. Not a smoked rib, well if they are they you can't tell. They were thrown on the grill and the edges were charred hard. Great if you like burnt ends. A delicious tangy, sticky bbq sauce. No wet naps offered. The baked potato was a baked potato, sour cream and butter included. My son had the half rack and half chicken, he only eats white meat but said the chicken had good flavor. My mother had the halibut, which she said was delicious. The standard Texas toast and side of beans included. The beans had a nice flavor. All in all a decent B+ steak house, with friendly and polite staff.

We came here for dinner on a Saturday night with reservations, so the wait for our table was short while they prepared it.I wasn't a fan of their house margarita, and the raspberry margarita with Hornitos was just okay.We both ordered filet mignon, each at different temperatures, and both were cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the steaks lacked seasoning and tasted very plain. The side salad it came with was simple but enjoyable, and their ranch dressing was really good. I also liked the baked potato, especially with the added cheese. I didn't try the beans, and the toast was soft but unremarkable.The chicken wings were a standout--they were delicious, tender, and very flavorful without being too spicy.Overall, the experience had its ups and downs--perfectly cooked steaks and amazing wings, but the flavors on some items could use more attention.

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.

Great service and great food. Simple easy to read menu, didn't need to wear my reading glasses. Great drinks.

The Sirloin Steaks were the Best tasting we have had in a long time. The meals are always prepared to perfection, the staff is always friendly and efficient, I have to rate this Steakhouse as the best in Tucson.It is quite apparent that they are committed to to Excellence without Exception, they consistently deliver this type of Dining experience.

An experience you will absolutely forget. I mean that, this place did not stand out to me in any positive way. The food was pretty standard for a steakhouse; the steak wasn't anything to write home about and for $40 you'd expect more. I will remember the negatives however. It appears that this restaurant is not following food safety standards. Having worked in multiple restaurants, I know that staff are required to wipe down all tables with hot water and an industrial soap. However the staff here were wipes tables down with Lysol that you buy at a Walmart. Which makes me wonder what else they are not doing up to standard.

The food was amazing with a total local vibe. Our ribs fell off the bone & our chicken was moist & tender.Glad we split an entree as the portions are huge. Jose was attentive & very pleasant. Will be back!

When visiting Tucson, we wanted to go to an iconic steakhouse in the area. This was an excellent choice to have a tasty, juicy steak. We both ordered the rib-eye steak medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. In addition to the steak, you get a baked potato and a salad. The salad is lettuce topped with dressing. Nothing special. It's the steak that's the star, which you would expect since this is a steakhouse. You can get beans and bread upon request for no additional charge. Service is good. From our dining area, we could see the steaks cooking on the outside grill. There are two dining areas from which you can choose. One is the bar/lounge type space that has TVs, and the other is a dining room. All over the walls are $1.00 bills with writing on the bills. I asked the waitress, and she said the dollar bills were started by the owner who tacked up his first dollar when the restaurant opened. Then someone placed a dollar on the wall to commemorate someone who passed away. The tradition then started to place dollar bills to recognize someone or something. She said when the walls get full, they donate the money to charity.

We went there for ribs on my husband's birthday and the food was not bad. This one full slab of ribs was enough to feed both of us. It was a lot of meat. The service was quick and the server who took care of us was a very nice young man. Not sure if we will go there again but if you like ribs or anything on their menu that does not have much bbq sauce, then this is the place to go. Coming from Chicago, we like some sauce on our BBQ meat. LOL Did not care much for the decor. The place was empty when we got there but it was packed by the time we left so it's a very popular place since they grill their meat with mesquite wood outside in front of the restaurant, which gives the meat a smoky taste/ flavor that you can smell as you drive by the place.

Very disappointed with the food and service.First time I have gone to a steak house where they served thin sliced steak. Ribs were burnt and chicken wings were dry. Service was slow. Way over priced considering how bad it is. This place is very old and seedy. Sorry I went there.Never going back.
