Restaurant of the Week: Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar


August 7, 2024
By Matt Sterner

Each week, we want to highlight one of our favorite restaurants in Tucson!

Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar is more than just a new dining spot — it’s a celebration of comfort food with a contemporary twist.

The restaurant opened its doors less than a year ago on the north side of town, 6444 N. Oracle Rd., serving “approachable classics with a focus on executing them with high-quality ingredients.”

Some of the dishes include Green Chile Bacon Waffle Fries, Quesabirria, and a trio of salads.

“Between the bun” they have a classic burger, a Sonoran Burger with roasted chiles, a mushroom burger, a black bean veggie burger, burgers with plenty of bacon stacked on ’em, a Crispy Nashville-Arizona Chicken sandwich, and then something called Die in Your Sleep 3×3 Burger (there are three burger patties on this one layered with bacon, cheese, green chile, onions, Redbird sauce, and a triple cheese sauce).

To pair with all of that food is a full bar menu with draft beer, wine, and signature cocktails like the Redbird Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, and the Filthy Bird — a concoction made of Tito’s Vodka, dry vermouth, and house-stuffed olives.

In other words, there’s a good amount of options in the beverage department and the full drink menu is available online as well.
