Tucson has no shortage of burgers, but Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar is the place locals whisper about when someone says, “I want something epic between two buns.”
Here, smash burgers get the star treatment with USDA Choice beef, locally made buns, and toppings that go from classic American comfort to wild Southwestern heat, all backed by craft cocktails and a laid-back Arizona vibe that makes every visit feel like Friday night. 🍔🔥🍹
How Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar won Tucson’s hearts
Redbird won Tucson’s heart by taking the food everyone already loves—burgers, wings, tacos, loaded fries—and giving it a scratch-made, chef-driven glow-up.
