‘Breakfast for Dinner’ Menu Returns to Blue Willow Restaurant & Gift Shop

Sep 7, 20232 min read

Blue Willow Restaurant & Gift Shop is turning back the clock as they announce the return of “Breakfast for Dinner.”

“It’s odd when moving backward feels like moving forward,” celebrated Stephanie Bevington, Blue Willow’s long-time general manager and new owner. And we couldn’t agree more.

With the changing times comes a revamped menu, designed to satisfy your cravings from 3 – 8 p.m., Blue Willow’s evening breakfast menu offers a limited selection of their daytime favorites along with a couple of welcomed newcomers.

First up is the savory Steak and Eggs, a carnivore’s dream and a delightful addition to the evening menu. The succulent steak and the burst of flavor from the blistered tomatoes make for a truly memorable meal.

For those looking for a touch of Mexican-inspired goodness, the Carnitas Poblano Hash is a must-try. Featuring tender carnitas and roasted poblano peppers, this dish is a harmonious blend of savory and slightly spicy flavors. It’s the perfect choice for those seeking a dish that comes packed with a Southwestern kick.

No breakfast-for-dinner experience is complete without a choice of libations, and Blue Willow has you covered with their acclaimed mimosas and bloody marys, making it easy to enjoy the full brunch experience beyond the weekend.

Don’t worry, though — Blue Willow hasn’t forgotten about their beloved dinner menu. While you savor their new evening breakfast offerings, rest assured that their full dinner menu will remain available, ensuring there’s something tasty for every palate.

As the seasons change, and Tucson heads toward prime outdoor dining weather, Blue Willow’s charming outdoor seating area is the ideal place to savor your meal as you soak in the beautiful change of season. With the return of evening breakfast, there’s no doubt that the patio will fill up quickly at night.

To ensure you get a coveted spot, consider making a reservation.

The post continued, “we have met some great friends who have become family to us.” Tucson Foodie first visited the restaurant in 2017, when it operated as IOU Sushi IV.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
