Fuddruckers

Food was great but what really made my dinner fantastic was Luis he was working the floor cleaning tables checking up on us making us laugh just a super awesome dude all around!
Also all the guys that was cooking behind the counter where extremely polite

I’d rather go to McDonald’s. I got a medium well elk burger while my girlfriend went with a medium mushroom Swiss burger. Both came out dry and tasteless. There was nothing fresh about either patties. My girlfriend ended up eating the toppings from the bar as a salad…

Food quality 5 stars. Service 5 stars. The beef is very fresh, you can taste the quality. I don’t care for the buns, the ones they used years ago were much better quality. The onion rings are perfect, love them. Need more games for kids. More cookie selections. The soda selection is difficult to get used to. The place could use an upgrade. I’ll go back.

This place is disgusting and the food is terrible !!!
Our party of 5 waited over 35 minutes for our food order (Hamburger, Steak Sandwich, Chicken Fingers and Grilled Chicken Sandwich). They must have cooked it right away and then let it sit, because the meat was cold when we got it. Do not waste your time or money on this joint. Fuddruckers used to be a good place to get a burger and they had lots of fresh toppings. These days are gone for the location on Speedway in Tucson. Go there are your own peril.

The cashier was excellent. Burgers were cold along with the fries. In order to get our order we waited 1 hour

I am definitely a fan of Fuddruckers. My first experience was in the late 80’s in Hilton Head, SC. I moved south of Tucson so I don’t get to visit nearly as much as my hubby and I would like to but after this last visit I must write a Unilocal.
The burgers are amazing and putting the cheddar sauce on the fries is nearly heaven. My problem with the Tucson Fuddruckers is the new manager changed the pickles. You would not think this such a big deal, but it is. These are gourmet burgers and you add the toppings. They used to offer two kinds of dill pickle slices: the cheap generic ones and then a much less vinegary bathed better seasoned one. The new manager opted to keep the cheap ones. Blech. Bring back the other ones! PLEASE!
Oh, and another «small» problem: If you have two soda machines and flavor options why don’t they both have beverage available? My previous visit only certain flavors were available in certain sides and not necessarily for the soda that was available at that particular side. This last visit only one side was even available for diet and only one flavor was available to add to the soda choice.Sad.

For whatever reason over the past 30 plus years in Tucson, I never entered the doors of Fuddruckers, never saw any advertising on TV, in print or online and no one ever suggested eating there or even said the word «Fuddruckers». All of this led me to believe Fuddruckers was just a Tucson «thang» that I’ve been oblivious to all these years.
My L picked me up for lunch one day and as we trolled the area looking for a spot, we saw Fuddruckers and I asked if he wanted to try it. L got all excited and said hell yes! He loved Fuddruckers and hadn’t had it in a long time since he lived in California. Huh? You know Fuddruckers? Wait — they’re in California? **I now know that they are not only national but international!
OK — so my experience at Fuddruckers was top notch! We were greeted by the amazing-​loves her job-​outgoing-​personable-​Sharmaine. (Oh crap, I’m pretty sure that’s her name… it’s been a couple of weeks). When L told her I’d never been to Fuddruckers she made it her personal responsibility to make sure I knew all I needed to know to be able to fully enjoy my experience. I was given a tour!!! She took me to the fresh produce section and showed me everything, even explaining how she likes to make her burgers. Then to all the condiments and cheese sauces. She explained how they bake all their own fresh breads, rolls and cookies every single morning and told me about the delicious hand blended milk shakes. This girl ROCKS — she made my experience fantastic!
So on to the food. I ordered a Hatch green chile burger with pepper jack cheese cooked medium along with wedge cut fries which I naturally dipped in jalapeño cheese sauce. The burger was excellent but the fries were a little on the soggy side although still delicious! I know the green chiles are labeled «Hatch» and they probably do come from Hatch but they pretty much have NO heat and could have been out of a can of Ortega green chiles from the taste. L made his own concoction with bacon, grilled onions, BBQ sauce and all kinds of other things. He was a happy camper.
I just love that they have elk and buffalo burgers on the menu at the Tucson Fruddruckers because I love a good elk burger!
I’ll be back to Fuddruckers and will bring along my appetite because I really want to try a milkshake too next time.

I am giving this rating simply because apparently they are under new management who could care less about the safety of their customers.
My boyfriend and I came here for dinner but because the front sign wasn’t on, it was totally dark out front so we drove right past it.
Also, when we finally did arrive there were no lights on in the parking lot! At first i thought it was closed but since there were plenty of cars i realized they were still open.
When we got inside i asked the kid at the counter why the lights were not on he said «new management decided to keep them off» then when i told him the front sign was off that’s when he decided he would tell them. But only then did he say he would let them know!
If this is how the supposed new management cares about his customers I honestly don’t know if i will be coming back.

My family and friends have loved Fuddruckers for years but our recent trips to the Tucson, Arizona location have shown a definite downhill slope in quality and it is so sad to see.
First understand, the food was good and the employees were very friendly and helpful but the place is in serious disrepair making you nervous about the food quality. When you enter it has an unkempt feel. No deep cleaning going on and everything feels patched together from a branding point of view.
We ordered and went to get drinks to find only one of the two soda machines were working and it had flavors that were out of product. Not a fun line on a Friday night.
We then tried to find a table under the enclosed «patio» area but there was a smell so rank we had to move inside. Once there, our pushed together tables where unlevel by 2 inches and so wobbly we had to fold table tents to wedge under the legs. As I looked around dusting is done as high as a hand can reach and not above. The displays around the ceiling are thick with dust webs and years of buildup.
Food was announced and we took our burgers for condiments where the Mayo ran out like water making me wonder how warm that was allowed to be. Once settled, the food was great. Everything was prepared as it should and tasted like the Fuddruckers I love.
Later, a trip to the restroom reminded me of the unpleasantness. Broken tiles, filthy corners, graffiti on the ceiling and an overall stench that is simply years of minimal cleaning at best. The walls need patched and painted and the aged counter tops were simply that.
It is shame that there is no money going into upgrading or properly maintaining the restaurant. Given it’s age it may be costing a lot to keep up operationally but the customer experience is not getting the attention it needs.
Will still go there because I do love me a big olé Fuddruckers burger. I just hope some things get the attention they desperately need.

We have come here for years and always love it. Gotta say I am a bit nervous about the state of shape this place is in. Broken tables, flooring, low staff count. Hope it gets a clean up.

Thank God, they got a new manager since this place has made a complete 180 for me and the wife. The food comes out quick and there is always fresh condiments and vegetables to top off your burger. As I stated in my negative review, I had more of problem with their service, not the food, but since that has changed I have come here way more often. Let’s hope it stays that way since this is one of the best burger places in Tucson.

We love going to Fudruckers. The burgers are always fantastic. My daughters lover the Coke dispenser — it allows them to create almost any flavor of soda. Employees are always friendly and helpful. On the weekend it can get a little loud.

My initial thought when I walked into Fuddruckers was that it was just another fast food joint. I ordered the hangover (¹⁄₃ lb burger, fried egg, and bacon) and fries at the counter. They handed us a pager and we sat down. The wait time for the food was 10 minutes and it allowed ample time for good conversation and to take in the atmosphere. It is a very family friendly place. There is a small room with arcade games for the kids and plenty of tvs for the adults to watch a big game. My burger was tasty and filling.
Fellow ranch lovers: they have the good stuff! Homemade, buttermilk ranch!

Ok so I would have gave it more stars because I love their burgers but today they happened to mess up my order. Had bourbon burger which was actually good once I finally got it at that time my boyfriend had already ate his burger because his order was correct.
I love the soda machine selection not a good day for them but I know this isn’t my last time there.

Fuddruckers is one of the best places in town to get a non-​gourmet burger at the gourmet burger price. They have an excellent selection including some exotic meats, and modern options like the Coca-​Cola Freestyle machine. Food is ordered at the counter similar to the «fast casual» experience, but each customer receives a pager and must come to collect their items — a necessity because the condiments, fruits, and vegetables are provided at a cold station in the middle of the restaurant.
Each time I’ve been to this Fuddruckers, the food has been good, although they do tend to overcook the burgers. On my most recent visit, my «medium» burger was definitely fully cooked and gray, without even a hint of pink inside. I like the array of toppings available, which goes beyond the standard lettuce-​onion-​tomato-​pickle set.
Fuddruckers seems like a solid place to bring the whole family, with arcade machines and sports television to keep everyone entertained. The location is good, too, with an east-​central Speedway spot.

Good burgers with several choices for toppings. Soda machine has hundreds of soda combinations. Great milk shakes, especially the peanut butter and chocolate.

Went late in the afternoon on a Sunday and the place was a complete mess. Filthy floors with trash everywhere, and the bathroom was even worse. Unpleasant smell and sticky floors. Food came out in typical delayed fashion, but not unbearable. With the food I guess ignorance is bliss, if the customer area was a complete mess I can’t imagine what the kitchen looked liked. The food tasted perfectly fine and I enjoyed my burger very much however. The staff was nice and friendly too. Not sure if they’re just understaffed, lazy with cleaning, or need some professional help but great food marred by a gross and dirty restaurant.

When Mom wants iron, we eat here. Best place to get a whole lot of red meat all at once!
Third or half pound of good ground beef topped with your favorite toppings between 2 buns. Iron supplements, who needs them?
So what did I do? I tried a chicken salad. Wow, it was great! So in the future, I’m going to be torn. Beef or chicken.
Who’d have thought?

Super tasty food ! ground beef is tasty awesome! Tried the 3lb. Burger Challenge and food won! Man 0 — food 1 very clean and helpful staff. I totally feel bad because I forgot about this place.

First off. Hats off to Fuddruckers for hosting a fundraiser for Hope Animal Shelter. Thank you!
Since Hope often takes me to restaurants I might not otherwise try, I thank them also. I hope they made a lot of money today for the critters.
The good part is their bean veggie burger is pretty good. The bad part is I only got about 8 fries. Pretty paltry amount and they were the thick-​slice kind which don’t hold their temperature or taste very well.
I tried some onion rings and they were really good.
The bakery had some delicious-​looking choices though I didn’t try any today.
It’s just me but I don’t care for this kind of dining. The young man who was serving us YELLED our names as each dish was ready to be picked up by its owner. I mean YELLED into a microphone. Seems to me they could come up with a better and quieter solution.
The wait in line today was terribly long and the wait for our food was also pretty long.
Is it like this everyday? I don’t know.
If you have an aversion to germy surfaces, this type of dining won’t please you. Too many unclean hands touching too many of the same food condiment surfaces. Perhaps putting some hand sanitizers near the condiment tables would be nice. I know Sweet Tomatoes does that.
The other thing I spotted really bothered me, speaking of germs. The young man who announced our food was wearing a long lanyard with keys dangling from it. As he reached across plates of food, his keys dragged over the dishes. I didn’t speak to the young man but I should have.
