This place is a very pleasant night out. Me and my girlfriend, well we lost our car while we were checking out the U of Arizona. " Which I should say, is a very awesome College to send your kids to." But we ran into this place. And it was banging!.. If you come to Southern Arizona. Another place to see. Don't take my word for it.. come check it out yourself.

Overall decent experience. The food was good, but not spectacular. We had the pheasant firkin pizza and the frog firkin pizza. Good deep dish, thick cheese, a bit sparse on the toppings. The Fish Piss (cocktail) was good, but the chocolate raspberry martini was disappointing (watery and no chocolate taste). The Bavarian pretzel itself was crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and was served with a hummus/pesto spread in addition to the mustard/horseradish sauce. It doesn't scratch the itch if you're looking for a cheesy soft pretzel, but I'd recommend giving it a try. The big disappointment of the evening was the cookie. It looked so promising, but wound up going mostly uneaten. The flavor came mostly from the sauces drizzled on top, it was fairly dry despite still being chewy, and the texture was all wrong. It more closely resembles a muffin or cobbler topping texture than a cookie. The ice cream on top was clearly a plastic cup ice cream that had been placed on top and was hard as a rock, meaning it didn't melt into the cookie as it so needed to.

The service was passable only because of how crowded it was. It was slow and you had to ask for stuff twice.

Overall, a decent meal, a bit overpriced for what it was. Wouldn't wait in line for it again.

They only had the game I wanted to watch, outside. In the freezing cold. I asked them to change the channel a few times, but they never did. Finally the bartender said he had tried, but couldn't. About the 3red time I inquired.

I ordered the steak and eggs. When my order first came out, the steak was still raw. I sent it back and they brought out the same piece of steak instead of a new one. That same steak came back raw again. After talking with the manager, they didn t comp my meal. The only bright spot was the server. She was sweet and offered me a beer. Please come here if you re expecting sub-mediocre over priced bar food.

Nice atmosphere. That's about it.

Nice atmosphere. That's about it.
Half attentive service, "so our computer system crashed, what were yall having again?" That's why you write down the order. Margarita was not good... and we are in arizona, pretty much Mexico's backyard and we can't get a margarita right?
30 seconds before our food came out the server told us "the fryers are down" so yours will come with a salad, cool? so my husband couldn't get what he ordered... how did you not know moments after receiving the order that you wouldn't be able to serve the tots we requested? 73 dollars is a lot for what we got/couldn't get. More than a little irritated that nothing was offered or done to fix the fact that they were having such technical difficulties.
Could've been way better if it felt like anyone who works here actually gave a damn.
Probably won't be back and definitely wont recommend.

The location is nice enough, as is the service. However "karaoke night" was a complete clown show. The DJ seemed to think he was playing for an arena and not the 1000 sq ft front room - the volume was unbearable. Could not hear people at the same table talking below a shout.

The place went from standing room only to having several empty tables in about 2 songs. Recommend avoiding Thursday night if you don't like ear-shattering, off-key crooning at max volume.

I've always loved this place, from the point it changed from bluejays wayyyy back in the 90s till now. The patio is a great place to enjoy the Arizona sun and the beer list is plentiful. Add some cheese fries, be it yellow red or white and you are in for a great afternoon. Only draw back was when we went by at night there was a DJ, that was too loud to sit outside and talk so we went inside.

Have always loved (affectionately) "The Frog". Learned that their kitchen renovation is in the final stages and that they plan on offering a more extensive menu!!!! Can't wait! Besides the food, The Frog offers an extremely fun atmosphere and lots of TVs to watch your favorite sports while enjoying your favorite beverage. With a full bar and lots of beers on tap, you're sure to be satisfied!

Good dine-in. I loved their cheese fries and pizza. Ambience get multifold better with live music. They have indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements. Staff is limited but cordial. Good thing is that they are open till late.

Our family loves this place! Not only is the food great, like the giant pizza slice and the tasty burgers, but the back room is a fun area for us to all hang out. We play pool, foosbal, and even kid version corn hole.

AWFUL SERVICE. I have been her 4 times, each time hoping the service will get better, but it never does. They have this stupid setup where the servers have tables scattered throughout the entire restaurant, so servers are sometimes traveling all the way outside, then back outside, then to the back of the restaurant, then they disappear in the kitchen. Not only is the setup retarded, you can often see your server chatting with other servers or other friends that are there. The last time I was there, it took us 15 minutes to get a menu, 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered, and then 15 minutes to get our checks. My sandwich was overcooked, and my girlfriend ordered the pretzel. When the pretzel came out dry and burnt, obviously overcooked, and asked for another one, the stupid server came back and said "That's just how they come."

We promptly left and went to Gentle Ben's.

The only people who believe this is good traditional British pub food are the same parents who think their daughters are joining a sorority to have more study buddies. Ordered a burger medium rare and it was well done with soggy fries. Only redeeming quality are the waitstaff.

Consistently consistent. Absolutely friendly wonderful staff perfect service. Do not hesitate to go! Tried the truffle fries the time, loved them. also ordered a pizza which we don't even usually get and it was delicious. Sandwiches and salads, the main reason I have been going for 20 years are always good. They had I think 30 beers on tap and a very large selection of bottled. Plus they are of course dog friendly.

I asked for a vodka tonic in a tall glass. Could not taste any vodka whatsoever. I asked waitress if she could put in another shot since I tasted no vodka. Bill comes and I'm charged $15.00 for a vodka tonic. $7.00 for a shot, I thought would be complimentary since I only tasted tonic. I told waitress I won't pay extra $7 for one extra shot. Waitress said I would be charged the $15.00 after I kindly stated my case for 3-4 minutes. Asked for the manager and explained my story and she refused as well to let me out the door without charging me $15 for a horrible drink. After 5 minutes I finally told not asked her to take off the $7 shot and she said ok.

Not just because I am fortunate to be one of the cooks here at the "Frog". I love the food. Having spent some time in my life in the "UK". The Frog N Firkin is truly a traditional Btritish style"Pub" and "Eatary". I strongly recommend our "Fish n Chips" served with the traditional malt "vinager" on the side if your a fan as I am. I also enjoy a slice of any of our "Gormet deep dish pizza". Our "gormet soups" are made in house along with many of our savory "sauces" and "dressings". The Frog has a delightful family style atmosphere and you are treated as a member.

Showed up today for a "U of A Alumni" meet and greet. The restaurant was a lot nicer than i ever remember it being! Staff was very friendly. However due to how busy it was, the wait times were longer than normal.

Honestly the burgers weren't good, and the fries tasted old. The service was pretty good, but the price you pay for the food is outrageous compared to what you actually get. I wouldn't go here again.
