This place is great, it has a restaurant, never been in there, because it also has a bar with trivia, karaoke, used to have stand up comedy.
The good is awesome, I can vouch for the BLT, chicken fried chicken, hamburger, wings, try the sauces (especial the loaf sauce), I think they make everything including the ranch, and they are all money.
They also have TV fairly quite times, so if you want to have a conversation or you don’t like loud places, this could be you lunch/dinner place.
Oh, they also do not have high turnover rates in staff and the people actually care about the place and customers.
Cannot wait to save enough carbs to get the peanut butter cup.. they mean dish but call it a cup..

I have never once’s had an issue here , either the food, drinks, the shows. I’ve worked at the venue as a performer, dj for a show. Barbara and Scot are probably the best people in town who put the heart and soul into this establishment. The meat loaf and tots and the hamburger I can’t remember the name of it but oh my goodness it was the best hands down one I’ve ever had. Thank you for sharing your delicious food with us all around! Much love and hope to see you soon! Xoxo

Amazing desserts! We bought quite a few varieties to-go for a birthday party and made dessert flights where everyone could try a little of each. The pineapple upside-down cake and the brownie with icing were the favorites overall, but everything was very delicious. We met the baker/pastry chef (Nero) who was a wonderful person who brings some serious love and joy to his craft. We loved talking with him. We’ll definitely get some more desserts from here the next time we’re entertaining and recommend this place for some sweet treats!

Bumsted’s serves generous portions of delicious comfort food. Excellent desserts too!
The staff is friendly and welcoming. Thursday trivia is a fun break–casual and competitive at the same time.
And fantastic KJs for karaoke, Thursday thru Sunday!!!

Love that I finally tried this Tucson hidden gem! The diner in the front is super cute and the staff was helpful and attentive. I tried their famous meatloaf and opted for the chicken fried version of the Bad Attitude and it was tasty – the mushrooms were cooked perfectly and the meatloaf was delicious. The only thing that would have made it better was a bit more horseradish mayo. The Styx pretzels are AMAZING I loved the cheese sauce (didn’t try the gravy because I’m not a gravy fan). Lots of parking in the back and a cute bar on the other side of the building if you want to grab a drink. Will be back again to keep trying new stuff from their gigantic menu!

OMG, my third visit, and I couldn’t wait to rave about the food! What looks fabulous on the menu description is even better on the plate. This time I had Shmalek for breakfast. Get this- perfectly crispy tater tots topped with caramelized onion, mushroom, bacon (the best), their own meatloaf recipe, Munster cheese and eggs any way you want (I chose over easy). The best way to sum it up… I’m so glad I’m not a vegetarian! The only, and I do mean only, thing about the atmosphere is that the dining room was closed so we ate in the bar. Not ideal for “breakfast” but fantastic service anyway. The decor was to be expected, but I couldn’t understand the costumed figure on the bandstand. Perhaps left over from Halloween? A little odd next to Christmas decorations throughout the rest of the room. It’s okay, just said a prayer and ate. St Michael and St Benedict, pray for us.

I tried this place a few weeks ago for karaoke. the food is absolutely amazing. I love the vibe. there was only one bartender very attentive. loved that she had a pitcher of water for us to grab from. went back for the burlesque show i do have to say that we arrived early sat at the bar for a few moments. bartenders walked past us a few times didn’t acknowledge us. the bar manager stepped in and helped us.he was amazing. they didnt have cherry coke but he was able to make me some which I loved. I wish the burlesque show had more talent then undressing.It was a circus theme so wish they had more circus themed acts. like 6 out of 15 had talent for example the knife eating, light up rings, stilt walker. those were so amazing and would have loved to see more like it in the show. A few people didn’t do anything but go on stage, undress then dance. they started the show of with a stilt walker which set my expectations pretty high for the night was a bit disappointed.loved the ticket pricing. Will definitely come back! we had a great time and are excited to see what’s next.

I absolutely love Bumsteds. This has become one of my regular spots not only because of how kind everyone is and how welcoming the atmosphere always is but also for how many events and things they have to do here! I love Thursday Karaoke nights with Lady Magnum, but I also love that they have it every other night on Friday, Saturday but especially Sunday funday. They have a Loteria Burlesque show and Circus burlesque show that are so much fun!! The circus show is the BEST show ever!!! They have such diverse talent that I’ve never seen and highly recommend going to the circus!

Vibes are constantly immaculate, the grub is the most satisfying comfort food that will leave you in a food coma, and karaoke is always a blasssst.
If you’re not someone who feels personally attacked by a bar/restaurant being closed on a holiday, this is the place for you

This place is truly a hidden gem! We’ve driven by this location many times and never noticed it before. We hung out and ate in the bar area, but they do have an old-timey diner-like restaurant connected to the bar. The menu is huge! We had the pork belly appetizer, which was delicious. I opted for the Meatloaf Sole sandwich and my husband had the Marvin meatloaf sandwich, but he got his ‘chicken fried.’ Our friend ordered the Mac Daddy mac n cheese with hunks of meatloaf in it and we ended by splitting a warmed up peanut butter chocolate tart. Everything was fantastic and the staff are super friendly. Highly recommended. We will be back for sure!!
