All the newest offerings in Tucson's vibrant restaurant scene

From an authentic Buffalo wings sports bar to an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant that’s taken Instagram by storm, many new food spots have popped up in Tucson in the last part of 2025. 

Anchor Bar

If you're a Buffalo Bills fan, this will be your new favorite place. Anchor Bar, birthplace of the ubiquitous Buffalo wings, has been an institution in Buffalo, New York, since it opened at 1047 Main St. downtown in 1935. The Tucson location, which opened in October, is the first in Arizona. Stop by and eat all the wings you can while cheering on Josh Allen. 

Location: 7080 E. 22nd St. #104

Bread Mill

Beloved local sandwich spot Beyond Bread opened a new Bread Mill location, where you can stop by and pick up goodies such as hot pot pies, pastries, pies and loaves of delicious bread.

Location: 825 S. Park Ave.

BŌS Burger

Burgers are here to stay at the MSA Annex. BŌS Burger took over the spot that once housed Beaut Burger. Here, it specializes in Japanese-inspired wagyu smash burgers, along with fries and shakes.

Location: 267 S. Avenida del Convento

Cal’s Bakeshop

Cal’s Bakeshop moved into the old Rocco’s Little Chicago building in October, bringing its vegan donuts and pastries with it. Owner Caleb Orellana made the leap from home bakery to brick-and-mortar, making sure Tucsonans can now start their morning with a chocolate-dipped concha and an ube latte. Or a brioche donut.

Location: 2707 E. Broadway

Desert Drifter Coffee

Oregon transplants Eddy Yunkherr and his wife are taking drive-thru coffee to the next level. Their flagship on the corner of North Main Avenue, which opened in September, serves creative drinks and goodies like Holy Focaccia breakfast sandwiches. And, it has a beautiful Joe Pagac mural on the side of the building.

Location: 419 W. Speedway

Hidden Hearth

Alexander Phaneuf, along with Adam Weinstein and Kira Dixon-Weinstein, has opened Hidden Hearth, a micro-bakery at the MSA Annex that specializes in whole-grain breads and pastries that will have you hooked from the first bite. You can now walk up to their window and grab fresh rye bread, focaccia slices, and the best croissants. (Seriously, the chocolate croissants are no joke.)

Location: 267 S. Avenida del Convento

Kintaro

(See related story on this new all-you-can-eat sushi spot.)

Location: 5975 E Speedway 

Kintoki Sushi House

You can never have enough sushi. Kintoki officially opened in December, offering sushi, hand-crafted cocktails and ice-cold beer. Chili lime edamame, spicy jalapeño salmon rolls, and seared Chilean sea bass are just a few of the items on the menu.

Location: 2960 N. First Ave.

Truland Burgers & Greens

This local burger restaurant opened a new location in October. Here, it is all about cooking with natural ingredients, using products such as Niman Ranch’s antibiotic- and hormone-free beef, fresh brioche buns and Kennebec potatoes. You can also pair your burgers with truffle fries, salads, and all kinds of creamy milkshakes.

Location: 4821 E. Grant Road

Ursa

At Ursa, Aaron Lopez and his wife/partner, June, focus on desert-to-table meals, creating dishes from foraged or heritage Sonoran Desert ingredients. You won’t find a steak or roasted chicken at this fine-dining restaurant, as Ursa only serves game — quail, deer and wild boar sourced from Texas-based Broken Arrow Ranch.

Location: 110 E. Congress St.
