I've been to Elliot's a few times now. It's a solid downtown eatery with some tasty specialty cocktails, many of which are crafted using their vast selection of in-house flavor infused vodkas. That's kind of their thing. The food is always solid, if a bit salty. I've experienced a salmon dish, burger, and a couple different salads, and they've all been tasty. The service has always been reliable too.

I ding a star for 2 reasons. First, it can be kind of gruff in there. The regulars at the bar curse at high volume no matter who is around. It's been that way every time I've been in, even with my 13 year old son. It's nothing he hasn't heard before, but it's kind of a downer when you're hearing it over dinner. Second, the decor is a little uninspired. The booths have weird surrounds and the tables are kind of Denny's like. If these things don't matter to you, then Elliot's is a solid choice.

The people here are excellent and I really enjoyed the Texas caviar salad. The grilled lettuce was fantastic (no easy feat) and the toppings were delightful. However, they give straws with water as a default which is no help to the planet and only serves to increase our contribution of plastic waste on the planet and in the ocean. Plain wasteful.

Elliott's is a great spot to stop downtown. You got your drinks. You got your foods. You got your sports. You have some of the best bartenders in town, and if you see Gabe's luscious locks you know you're in good hands. Enjoy the wings and conversation.

Elliott's has an unassuming, almost decrepit entryway, with a crowded little sidewalk porch sitting area. The inside has a lot less tables than most restaurants would try to squeeze in that size space. Which is wonderful and sets the tone for your experience there.

They have several duck dishes on the menu, which you don't see every day. We usually get the salmon sandwich and the duck tacos.

They have great Happy hour prices 4-7 every day, with $3 well drinks. We have been working through the infused vodka menu, and a vodka tonic with basil infused vodka is the current favorite, but it is still early in the trials. The Jalapeno infused vodka is the most, uhm, memorable selection. That was a warning, btw.

If you are just going for a casual dinner with friends and want the typical laid back, everyone welcome, Tucson experience, this is the place.

Service was good. Not as many choices on the menu as I expected. I chose the Jalapeno bacon cheeseburger. It was delicious. My friend got the Flat Iron steak and he liked it too. Great place that you can count on for quality food for what they do have on the menu.

To be honest, we were headed to the Cup Cafe for lunch but found it closed due to a special event. So we decided to walk over and try Elliott's. Man are we glad we did - this place is great! Cool atmosphere and the menu is full of interesting, and unusual choices. Since duck is the house specialty I went with the Duck Sliders. So tender, so tasty I could easily have downed five of them! (they come three to an order). Get the parmesan garlic fries as a side - yumm! They also offer Duck sandwiches, Duck Tacos, etc. We'll have to try these on our next visit. My wife had the Steak Salad which she loved. And since Elliott's specialize in unusual vodkas, everyone at the table had a Bloody Mary made with the Bacon-infused Vodka. Kind of a weird concept but in a Bloody Mary it really worked.

For dessert we shared an order of chocolate covered bacon with Ice cream. Although this was a cool idea, and the presentation was outstanding, the end result didn't entirely work for me. Somehow crunchy chocolate with cold bacon just didn't come off. But we can't wait for our next trip to Elliott's to dig further into the menu.

I went in on Thursday, February 1st around 1230 AM looking to try a new place after working a double shift. My friends and I sat at the bar and the bartender seemed pretty busy seeing that it was full so we waited patiently. But after 10 to 15 minutes of her not saying one word to us or giving a drink menu we decided to walk out because at that point the bar cleared out to only 4 others there. I also work on 4th ave so i know things can get hectic, but not being acknowledged as a customer was very frustrating. I was very disappointed since this was my first time there and I will not be returning.

Who knew that my first time eating mussels would be in Tucson and also be ridiculously delicious! The broth and sauce the mussels are cooked in was so flavorful and the mussels themselves were so tender. The best part was tearing the bread to sop up all the goodness left in the bowl! I'll definitely be back for another round!

So many exiting things to try! The liquor selection is amazing and the food was great. I got street tacos and was impressed with the quality of the tortillas. When the base is that good the rest is sure to be awesome.

We just discovered this place and it will become a regular stop for us downtown for food and drinks. Service by Katie and Taylor is so warm and friendly. The Pear Salad with chicken is scrumptious! Drinks are well-priced and well-poured.

Nothing special. Waitress didn't seem to know anything about the beers on the menu. When I asked for some hazy ipa suggestions, she pointed out a blonde and a red ale. Get more local beers please and make sure your staff understands what they're serving.

They have a good variety on the menu. I visited with my U of A student and 3 of her friends and all were very happy with their food. Portion sizes were good and service was fast. We had: wedge salad with Buffalo chicken added, garlic parmesan fries, cheesy burger, chicken fingers & fries, poached pear salad &hummus platter appetizer. All of the above are solid choices.

I met a friend here for happy hour, deciding on Cosmo's to drink and several appetizers. My favorite were the duck sliders. Though we didn't try them, Elliott's has numerous infused vodkas. I think the jalapeno infusion would be excellent in a Bloody Mary/Maria.
