Lindy's on 4th

This was my first time at Lindy's and my experience was memorable. The atmosphere was nice and the aroma was satisfying. I got the donkey punch burger, which had some heat with the flavor and my partner got the blue suede cow burger, which had peanut butter on it. They were both huge, sloppy and delicious. The French fries were also seasoned, hot and paired well with our burgers. I see why this place is always mentioned in the best burger in Tucson conversation.

​Lindy’s on 4th Avenue is not merely a burger joint; it is a Tucson institution, a culinary dare, and the spiritual home of the most gloriously over-the-top comfort food in the Old Pueblo. Situated in the heart of the city’s funky, bohemian district, Lindy’s has earned its reputation not for quiet refinement, but for bold, unapologetic excess—a quality that makes it a mandatory entry on any list of Tucson’s best

We went on a Sunday brunch date with my brother his wife and 3 kids. We saw on the website they have a punchcard for kids to find hidden Star Wars figurines all through out the restaurant so we thought it would be fun to go. The food was really good and well prepared, props to the kitchen. Props to the bartender for helping the kids fill out their punchcards and also to the manager who gave them hints to find all the hidden locations. The kids absolutely loved finding all the figurines and it kept them busy while we enjoyed our food. Food was amazing as well! only complaint was the waiter. She definitely was irritated with us and not in a good mood. We even tried to soften her up with some jokes but she just was not happy serving a group of 8 on a Sunday afternoon. Luckily everything else was fabulous so her sour attitude won’t deter us from returning. I will say she made sure we had drink refills and checked back often m, she just wasn’t the friendliest.

Stopped by Lindy’s for takeout and got the Texas Belt Buckle burger with onion rings and an extra patty. The burger was juicy, packed with flavor, and was a messy indulgent bite in the best way. Great spot for a no-frills, heavy-hitting bar burger.

My first bite gave me goosebumps. It's been years since I've gotten a meal that made me want to write a review before I even finished eating. Being from New Mexico for over a decade I've become addicted to green chili and I have a certain amount I need to be happy. They understood the assignment and went above and beyond to give me a burger that is changing my view of food in general. The sauces are life changing. Their In-House Lindy's Brew Scottish Red ale draft beer is exceptionally good And gets a five-star rating from me as a professional Craft Brewer of many years. They have clean beer lines and the place is exceptionally clean. I could not recommend this restaurant here enough. You have permanently gained a lifelong customer and I will be back with friends and family.

I really love the wings that crunch was amazing.!! The burgers are super good just we didn't know that you have to order the fries too

Just went for the 20th anniversary celebration and specials - hadn't been in a while! Got the OG burger that was on special (I think it's usually $14 or $16?). Good thing it was only $5, because there is no way I would have ever spent $14 or $16 on it. About an ounce of meat. Server was not great. Looking at the cocktail menu, it said happy hour was Tuesday to Friday so I asked if it was still happy hour. She stared at me deadpan and said, "No." I pointed to the menu that said there were happy hour specials (it was 5 on Friday, so there should have been, according to the menu) and she said absolutely nothing. Wasn't the last time she would just stare at us blankly when we asked a question. Oh well.

My husband and I were visiting from Chandler and decided to try this spot for lunch. We both ordered hamburgers, which tasted good but for the price, I assumed a side would be included. A regular order of fries was an additional $5, bringing the total to $21 per burger. At that price point, I expected fresh-cut fries, but they seemed to be frozen. To add to the frustration, we were charged a service fee for using a credit card. I understand these fees are legal, but I believe they have to be clearly posted so customers know before ordering. If it was displayed, I didn’t notice it. The atmosphere was okay, but overall, I felt nickel-and-dimed. There are so many great burger places and places with better values that I wouldn’t return when we visit again.

Great service. Fresh ingredients, well-cooked. Sad: they've changed to smash burgers. Not a fan.

I really wanted to enjoy my visit to Lindy's, but unfortunately the experience left me disappointed. Service was very slow--there only seemed to be one or two servers handling the entire restaurant. On top of that, the AC didn't appear to be working, so it was uncomfortably hot and humid inside. I ordered the OG Burger and specifically asked for it to be well done. The server told me they couldn't accommodate that request but reassured me that all their burgers are smash burgers and always cooked all the way through. Based on that, I went ahead with my order. When the burger arrived, it was much thicker than a smash burger (about an inch thick) and, to my surprise, there was blood on the paper beneath it. The first half of the burger was pink but edible; however, the other half was far too raw for me to eat, so I ended up removing the patty and eating the burger without the meat. Flavor-wise, the burger itself was good if you don't mind pink or undercooked meat, but I personally found it disappointing given that burgers are supposed to be Lindy's specialty. It's also surprising that a restaurant this popular doesn't ask customers how they'd like their burger cooked--it seems like such a simple adjustment to just leave it on the grill a little longer. Overall, between the slow service, lack of AC, and undercooked food, I'm not sure I'd return. While they do offer other items like Philly cheesesteaks and chicken sandwiches, my experience makes me hesitant to try them.

Food was very good. One of the best burgers I have ever had. Thursday night was a bit quiet but the service was good and quick. Ambiance is a typical bar/pub nothing special - the food is where this place shines. Update: a little disappointing when we got the bill: lots of random 1-2 dollar up charges for things that were not specified on the menu. My wife asked for the watermelon seltzer and got an up charge for the flavor? Wtf? Foods good but I'd probably just get the burger to go next time

Heard this was some of best burgers 'round since '05. Nope... You'll see pics of Cow Tipper & Blue Baller here. Tater Tots were fantastic! Onion Rings, super disappointed. Just frozen, not fresh cut/battered & fried. Just charge $$ more for better, or real deal! D. Pepsi & one of the most watered down Vanilla Shakes ever. The Shake came off a machine behind the bar looking like the same bars use for *Mud Slides*. Never finished it. Check $51. Go back? Nope ... Way too many choices in Tucson. Service, mediocre at best.

This used to be my favorite burger place but they have switched to smash burgers, along with other changes. Unsure why the changes were made but unfortunately won't be going back again. Don't fix what's not broken!

Want a tasty burger... why would you go anywhere else? Conveniently located on 4th ave - with back and front patio seating as well as spacious indoor seating. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and always hit the spot. The onion rings are some of my favorite- the onion never slides out on first bite- we love that! Staff are usually pretty attentive and quick even when they are slammed with tables!

The burger lived up to the hype, it was soooo good! The fries were good, kinda cooled off in the crisp desert air but awesome. Great vibe and good decor for a sports fan and tourist alike. Service at 4pm on a Sunday was good. I would come back again and again for the lindy's ice water and burgers.

Lindy's is a laid-back and casual burger spot with great service and enjoyable comfort food. I had a great lunch on the patio and really enjoyed the Birria Burger. However, the best part of the meal was definitely the cheese curds so definitely add these to your order! The staff was super friendly and it was an overall great lunch!

Lindy's never fails to disappoint. Food is always fresh and fast. Patio seating in the beer garden is the way to go they have shaded canopy's which is nice when it gets warm. They were busy when we went in so we had to wait a little bit for our check

I haven't been to Lindy's in years, but we decided to stop on a recent weekend to escape the heat and wait for some nearby stores to open. We all shared the cheese curds, which were delicious, and I very much enjoyed my Hawaii Five Oh chicken sandwich, although it was a bit of a mess to eat. Totally worth it, since it was delicious, and now I know to ask for extra napkins in the future. The chicken was tender and juicy and the Swiss-teriyaki-pineapple trio was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The burgers and sandwiches don't come with fries and aren't what I would call inexpensive, but you're paying for quality and you're definitely getting your money's worth. Our server was friendly, the food came out fast and the restaurant was nice and cool. Lindy's is still a reliable Tucson classic.

We really enjoyed the super delicious Buffalo Blue burger and Just a Chicken very creative sandwiches. Also loved the fries and cheese curds! Good sized portions and the Lindy's Sauce is a great addition to any dish. House margaritas were refreshing and there are several local beers on tap. Our excellent server Heather was very nice and attentive. We highly recommend Lindy's on 4th and will dine again and again there to try their additional creative dishes.

This place came out in the Dine, drive Inns and dive show list of places to visit and also on Man vs Food. Went during lunch time not many people at all. Burgers are very full filling. I highly recommend this place if you want to try different flavor style burgers. Waitress was a friendly spirited person and accommodating. She always had a smile and made me feel welcomed. Ambience was quite at the time and casual environment.

A must try OG Tucson food! Lindys has been around for many years! It was nice to go revisit a place that brings back so much nostalgia. The service was wonderful and overall we hope to come more often! The amount of food you get is well worth checking out. The tachos were my absolute favorite!

Lindy's is a decent burger, I want to like it more than I do. The atmosphere is dreary and the burger never matches up with my expectations or the burger to bun ratio does not work for me. The burger all falls apart on me. The service is ok but not great. I only went here the last time because my friend wanted a burger and we were right here. I know people rant and rave about this place, but again it's just ok.

Incredible food, drink and service! We had loaded tots, two different burgers and drinks; we cannot wait to go back!

This place is the perfect spot for some yummy burgers ! However I settled on a Phat Cheesesteak. If you like to add a little spice to your life , this sandwich is where it's at! Seasoned beef that had a "kick" but not to bad for this midwestern palette . Delicious spicy ranch that was glorious to dip my tater tots into and the service ( Shannon) was absolutely the perfect blend of professional and witty banter! A winner for those of you looking for a spot to eat near campus

Classic burger for takeout was made quickly and was very tasty, and came with fries. Would eat here again!

This reveiw is on the service as I was not able to try the food due to the tremendously bad service. I went in after the street fair on 4th and was greeted ok by the greeter. However, once we sat down, we were treated with condescension and downright awful service. We had bottled water from the street fair and were scolded for bringing that inside. Then, when I said we were all ready to order, she stated.."Oh I am not ready for you and left. 20 minutes go by and she never comes back. There were only 4 other tables full so it was not busy at all. Yeah go somewhere else.

The parking is truly as terrible as everyone says. But the food? So good!! It's a little expensive for a burger and fries, but I've noticed quite a few local charge on the higher end of the sandwich spectrum. My bill for a drink and a burger was $30 before tip. That birria burger though? It's what dreams are made of. So flavorful. So good. It's been a few days and my mouth is watering thinking about it. My margarita was flavorful and great. My friends blueberry lemonade; however, was far too strong for her. It stayed on the table full waiting to be dumped down the sink later. Service was good. I'd definitely come back and try some other menu items. As long as I'm okay spending $20 for a burger and fries.

This is supposed to be the best burgers in Tucson. Perhaps, but we're here on their last night before their summer break. The DJ music is deafening. People left.

I picked up a takeout order yesterday from here. I tried the Peekaboo with seared chicken. The chicken portion seemed a little small. The sandwich was really good but the price is just too expensive for a burger/chicken sandwich. I think If I were to come back, I would do double the meat and then split the burger/chicken sandwich with someone else. Fries were good as well. The ranch was delicious.

Nice barred in patio, reminds me of juvenile hall. No escaping. Been here a couple of times, trying different burgers on the menu. We have yet to be disappointed. A little on the higher price for a burger, but that is the way it is these days. Generous portions of sides + nice staff.

Me, my mom, and my dad walked in to lindy's waiting to get seated and very excited to try a new restaurant.. they sadly were already dealing with someone which was perfectly fine but it took about 5-10 minutes to get us seated after they were done handling the situation. Finally we got helped and the lady with brown hair and her hair in a clip put us in a table all the way in the back. we waited about 5-10 minutes again to see if she would come back with water or something but she never came back. she then helped the people that came in after us and took there order and everything. We sadly ending up leaving because no one came help us at all. On our way out the lady made direct eye contact with us and didn't even budge. I am highly disappointed and won't ever be coming back to lindy's. for my first experience it was definitely horrible.

Definitely some of the best burgers I've had in Tucson. You can tell right when you walk in this burger bar promotes a laid-back environment that is excited to share their food with you. Although they do have some basic options, their menu will stretch your imagination of what you thought burger was. Their meals are so creative, delicious, and contribute to the fun vibe of this place. I split a Birria Burger and the Mac and Cheese Burger with a buddy and they were both incredible! The rest of the squad loved their meals as well. Sides are sold separately so the price can rack up pretty quickly, but the service was great and we'll definitely be going back.

Our bartender/ waitress recognized that my dad was super difficult and went over the top to make it good. Made it great and kept our whole night cool. Thank you so much! Wish I had got her name but this is local Tucson stuff. So cool!

I hate to say it, but this is another example of Tucson's local favorites not being that good. If you're going to drop $20 on a burger and fries (it's one of those places where the burger does not come with fries), it needs to be real gourmet, an artisanal burger. I think they season the ground beef way too much, so if it really is a locally made product from "family owned ranches", you can't tell. It's like some Kroger ground beef with seasoned salt dumped in. I also didn't care for the garlic parmesan fries--really greasy, with a bit of *shaved* parmesan thrown on top. There is a reason everyone else uses grated for this. Service is cool and all, but the whole time I was eating on both my visits, it felt more on par with diner food than with a place who is supposed to specialize in this dish. I really think Lindy's is just coasting on its reputation.

Service was awful. Our server was so high she forgot everything. 40 min for drinks and water to come out. 1 hour for appetizers to come out. 1.5 hours for our food to come out. 2 hour long experience and the resturant was not very busy at all. The server looked like she did not understand anything and just stood around for most of the day staring off into the wall. And the burger I got was burnt on the bun.

So excited for the new management and to have Chef Lindy, winner of Tucson Knife Fight 2024 back running the show! It's beyond overdue and the menu, service and vibe definitely shows a positive change!

Went there for lunch today and it was pretty good. We had the garlic parm fries for the table. I wish the parm was in smaller pieces so it melted better and there was more garlic, but overall it tasted good. I ordered the Heckle and Jeckle burger and it was cooked a perfect medium. I also tasted the Texas Belt Buckle and it was great as well. Loved the onion ring in it. They have a patio area which was cute and had ceiling fans to help with the heat. Wait staff was friendly and gave suggestions which is always nice. I unfortunately didn't get photos of the food, but overall it was good! I'd go back.

Now this is the vibe I'm talking about! Awesome beer selection, great atmosphere, and super friendly bartenders and servers. Menu choices a plenty. I look forward to going back here soon. I really like their house beer. The birria fries appetizer is excellent. I opted for the veggie burger and it was huge and very good with just enough spice kick to keep it interesting.

I love love love the burgers here! You gotta add the peanut butter and jam on any of them.. so good! Service is always friendly but they can get busy. Nice bar and eating area, but not huge. Call to go!

Good food, Good service! The burgers are bomb. The wait staff was great! Xxxxxxxxxxx

I finally made it out to Lindy's, and it lived up to the hype! Their new location - still on 4th - is so large and spacious! There's bar seating, indoor seating, and outdoor covered patio seating with a beautiful mural. I tried a little bit of everything on their menu: flavor of the month milkshake, appetizer of Brussels sprouts, and the birria burger with a side of fries. The milk shake was enormous and flavorful. The first few sips are the ones where you've got to really try and get it through the straw, but after that it's smooth sailing. The flavor of the month was mint chocolate, and it was definitely worth the extra price. The Brussels sprouts honestly stole the show. It was essentially a warm salad with perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts, but the toppings elevated the flavors and really made it pop! Quick summary sentence on the fries - hot, crunchy, tasty, and great portion as a side! Lastly, the birria burger was delicious! I loved having some birria meat and white onions and cilantro on my burger with consume to dip it all in! I've always been a fan of onions on burgers and sandwiches, but something about having it diced with cilantro made it that much more special. I got the sauce that comes on the burger on the side, and it was great to dip the fries in. Bottom line: I'm glad I finally made it out to Lindy's, and I strongly recommend trying things other than a regular cheeseburger and vanilla shake (even though I bet they're amazing here).

Late lunch on a Sunday we were seated immediately. The food was slow but the waitress was attentive and filled our drinks immediately when needed. When the food finally arrived, It was a lot!! The fries and tots were fresh and crispy - near perfection! I had the Peekaboo burger and the buns were grilled cheese sandwiches which was different but tasty. My partner had the Texas Belt Buckle and he enjoyed it. Not cheap by any means - more about the experience. Personally I much prefer the In and Out burgers.

Good burgers and ambience. The service was good too. We went when it wasn't too busy in the middle of the week.

Oh my heavenssssssss! I wasn't super hungry so I didn't get a burger, but these Brussels sprouts were . Maggie the manager is quite possibly the sweetest human on earth, and our server (I forgot her name) was amazing! I literally cannot wait to go get more of these sprouts. I could legit eat them daily and not get sick of them

Great service by Michelle! The Birria Burger and the dirty tachos were excellent. There is parking at the back of the restaurant and you can also enter through the back. You need to check in with the hostess. Everything we tried was excellent.

The food was great. Really yummy. The service was ok not the best. But I have been there before and the people were great. Think this was an off time.

NEVER GO TO LINDY'S ON 4TH. I bought a $75 gift card for my son as a Christmas gift. He went to use it on January 17th. Those A-holes would only honor it for $25!. That is bullshit! I know the business was sold near year end but that is a horseshit way to run a business. They just lost 4 customers for good.

We were greeted right away when we arrived. We had a large party of 12 people and they were happy to see us. Had blood orange beer and dirty tachos. The blood Orange beer was very refreshing and the dirty tachos were topped with jalapeños Ghost sauce, green chili, pepper jack and serve with guacamole. They were the perfect amount of crispy. Delicious! Our server was amazing! If you have a restaurant in the area steal her to work for you!

So I've heard very good things about this place and decided to finally check them out. Went on a Thursday evening and it was pretty empty. Staff was nice. For an appetizer we got the birria fries, delicious! (Cheese, beef, onions and the Birria sauce) I definitely recommend the fries! I wasn't too impressed w the burgers. They were dry. I had to ask for more lindy sauce to put in them. I felt like the ingredients were not fresh and warm when put on the burger. The patty was warm but everything else I felt like came out of a jar/fridge. We had the heckle and Jekyl (cream cheese, bacon, caramelized onion bacon jam, jalapeños) and the cow tipper (caramelized onions, Swiss, lindys sauce, bacon). We also had prickly margaritas and they were good.

While trying to find a good burger place in Tucson, we found this gem of a place thanks to the Yelp reviews, and they weren't wrong. Though it doesn't look like much from the outside, the inside is cool, clean and inviting, and it's much larger than it looks from the outside. The food is great here, but after having been there three times I can honestly say they have one of the nicest and friendliest staff and manager. They are constantly asking if you need anything else and quick to refill drinks without you even asking. The food here though is equally good, and kept bringing us back to enjoy some great and creative burgers. The group favorite was the Heckle & Jeckle which combines some cream cheese, bacon, jalepeños, bacon jam and crispy onions and it's the type of burger you could have over and over again. We also tried the Peekaboo, which was delicious, but probably is one of the most filling "burgers" I've ever had. It consists of a burger with mushrooms, onion ring, LTO between two "buns" made of complete grilled cheese sandwiches! Luckily, my wife and I ordered this to split, but even then it left us both completely full given the size of this thing. I initially envisioned one piece of bread with cheese on one side and another piece of bread with cheese on the other, but each "bun" is a complete two piece grilled cheese sandwich so by the time you finish this, you have eaten two grilled cheese sandwiches (which are delicious), but the inside of a a large burger (which is also delicious). Lastly, we tried the Mac N Cheese burger, and though I was initially a little worried this would be like eating regular "mac and cheese" on a burger, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the mac and cheese they used is cooked and seasoned very differently, and the cheese is not too heavy, and is flavored just right for a burger, though you will likely need a fork to eat the macaroni noodles that fall onto the plate, since you will want to eat all those up as well since it's so good. The fries and onions rings were delicious and the large order was enough for the table. The cheese curds were also great, and crispier than most places which I really liked. Overall, this is the kind of place you would want to go to regularly if you live in Tucson, and is a must stop for anyone traveling to Tucson who wants great burgers in an inviting casual atmosphere, with great service.

We stopped in on a Saturday, walking 4th to infuse some money into local patrons. 4th in and of itself is such a fun place with the art, shops, restaurants and local libations. I was craving a burger and had been to Lindy's one other time at their small old location. This location is very large and they are seating to health department standards, lots of spacing. Everyone was masked up! Service was excellent, the staff we interacted with authentically friendly. We ordered a couple of cocktails - Michelada (served with 805) & Skinny B*tch. Apparently, they just started making their own Michelada mix and it was a big hit with the Hubs. He actually said it was the best he has ever had! For grub, we ordered a couple of burgers (The OG and Sanchez), some Dirty Tachos and Onion Rings. The food was good... my favorite was the Dirty Tachos, loaded with jalapeno and green chile... tots crunchy not soggy.

Such good burgers!!! So many choices I haven't tried them all. Defiantly a great go to for any time of day.

We were originally going to go to Dave & Busters honestly because I was craving a specific burger but then we started to do research on good burger spots in Tucson. My boyfriend mentioned having heard of Lindy's. Their burger was featured on Man vs. Food. Anyways we decided to go and I'm glad we did! I had the Heckle & Jeckle which had cream cheese, bacon, caramelizada onions, jalapeños, and I added a fried egg. It was a great balance of flavors. I My husband had burger of the month.

SO GOOD! Drinks are good, burgers and apps are killer. We got 3apps for 7 people and probably only needed 2apps. Definitely recommend the tots + fries.. Brussels we're good too. For burgers, I got the birria and it was great! Would love to try more of their burgers.

I decided to come here yesterday afternoon around five during happy hour for my birthday. I've traveled the world and country and had burgers on my birthday (my little tradition), and this restaurant was one of my favorites. From the jump, the server/host that sat us complimented my dress, and I instantly felt comfortable. It was a kind gesture that set the mood for our visit, and I truly appreciated it. My husband and I ordered the birria fries to start. They were generously sized, and we took the majority home because our eyes were larger than our stomachs. I ordered an 805 Michi and the Kush burger, and my husband ordered the Heckle + Jeckle burger and Lindy's Ice Water. Everything was absolutely banging. My burger was cooked perfectly, not sloppy at all (a pet peeve of mine is when a burger falls apart as you eat it), and not greasy. Our server was a sweetheart, making the experience that much better. Regarding the bill, you get what you pay for. The burger and birria uses quality beef, and I'm the type that would happily pay $15-20 for a burger with better ingredients. Our bill came to $63, and it was worth every penny. The music was great, I felt comfortable, was never rushed, and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent burger and tasty drinks with an alternative vibe. I can't wait to go back!

Lindy's is one of my favorite stops on 4th Ave. The food is good, the service is always great, and the prices are reasonable. My personal recommendation is to try the Birria burger which is so good that I literally swore after taking a bite. Though I have had a few different menu items here and every one of them has been great. The service is great and they have two different outdoor spaces if you don't want to sit inside. The front patio is covered, and the back patio is not so dependent on the time of year you stop keep that in mind. The only downside is that parking on/around 4th Ave is a pain, though that is not unique to Lindy's it's a downtown problem. TL:DR - parking sucks, but everything else about Lindy's is great

No waiting, the server was nice, Food so discussing, not what it used to be . Bun was so hard u had to eat it w/top bun! Lettuce inside burger was two fingers . Mac n cheese for my son came cold . Tots were cold .the cheese on the cheese burger wasn't even melted, my son was laughing he peeled it right off. I asked waitress why isn't our cheese not melted on our cheese burger n she said I can ask cook. It not her fault she not the cook.overall I told my boys eat your party it cost $10 my daughter s burger was soaked in their sauce which my daughter didn't eat her burger either.manger on staff came to the table n apologized. I had told her I don't mind the wait for good food , but everything on our plates weren't not satisfactory..thumbs down! Not coming back that's for sure..
