As The Hungry Fox turns 60, the owners plan to open a second location 🍳🥞
Hidden between a commercial printer store and a bank on East Broadway, Hungry Fox Restaurant still shines as a Tucson treasure six decades after it opened.
As Hungry Fox — where Tucson legend Sam Fox cut his teeth before launching his successful restaurant empire — celebrates its milestone anniversary, its owners are planning to open a second location by year’s end.
A second location might make it easier to find a seat at the original spot at 4637 E. Broadway. With only word-of-mouth as advertising, the diner, which serves breakfast and lunch, has a constant flow of regulars enjoying coffee, homemade cinnamon rolls and Sonoran eggs Benedict. Some regulars come twice a day.
Aaron and Toni Fox, Tucson native Sam Fox’s parents, opened The Hungry Fox in 1964.
The menu includes Sam Fox’s childhood favorite: the egg yolk omelet, and the Fox or the Cowboy omelets, as well as the fan-favorite Sonoran eggs Benedict, which comes with chorizo and a chipotle Hollandaise-topped English muffin.
The Hungry Fox also serves pancakes, stuffed breakfast burritos, biscuits with thick gravy and other treats, starting at 6 a.m. on weekdays, 6:30 a.m. on weekends. The restaurant closes at 2 p.m. daily.
