Eegee’s

This is one of those places I really miss when I’m home in Florida. The slushes are just so special. No one makes anything like this that I’ve found.
The cheese pretzels, the ranch fries (my personal favorite) and the sandwiches are all wonderful. I love this place more than words can express.

Known for their fruit slush drinks. You can’t go wrong here! I had the flavor of the month (peach n berry). You can mix up the regular flavors (lemon, strawberry, piña colada, sugar free skinny berry). Their subs are good too. I had the deluxe grinder with a side of their crinkle cut fries.

Love eegees! It’s our go to place. If you are visiting Tucson you definitely need to try eegees! Eegees drinks, sandwiches, fries and ranch are amazing.

eegee’s is a Tucson thing. A genius product that was attempted in Phoenix but it never caught on. I do not know what because there is nothing quite like the eegee’s. When we are in Tucson we always go. As often as possible and we drink a lot of the stuff. If we are staying overnight in Tucson we get mass quantities and take our own rum to make daiquiris. There are major chunks of fruit in the slush and there is a tartness that is genuine and real. Not too sweet but just a perfect cup/​tureen/​bucket of eegee’s goodness. It is ambrosia and almost gives you enough reason just to go to Tucson. We have been to many of the locations and they are consistently good with a staff that is courteous and helpful at each location. It is a wonderful and uniquely Tucson experience.

I s told this place it’s famous for ranch. That’s weird and def not a good sign. What kinda place is known for ranch. Ick. I was hungry for fries and maybe something else. I love that you can get a sub and fries here rather than the traditional chips. Yum. Since I was new to this establishment I wanted to try a bit of everything. Plus I was super hungry and working a 12 hour shift with one break. I ordered a sub, a cookie, fries, and a pizza pretzel. I passed on the ranch. The cookie was hard and chewy. The pretzel was bland. The sandwich wasn’t good either. Not at all. It tasted heavily of pickles, mayo, and white bread. Fries were good. If I had to describe Egees in one sentence it would be «white bread fat people food. Plain, boring, blah! Service was good. Try their giant slushes for extra fatness.

I’ve been to this place before but only got one of their slushies. This time around, I stopped for lunch with my family before heading back to Phoenix. I think this place is more about their slushies than their food. The sandwiches were just okay at best and were so LOADED with mayo that I had to constantly wipe it off with my napkin. They’re pretty bland sandwiches all around and it was a bit of a disappointment. The employees were very nice, so there’s that.

Who doesn’t love Eegee’s? After growing up and moving away from my hometown I always try to get to this Tucson staple when I’m here. My personal favorite is a veggie grinder on wheat with a half strawberry/​half piña colada Eegee. I have noticed over the years a reduction in the amount of peperocinis on the grinders but other than that the quality remains good and the taste consistent.

everyone in this place was rude! It seems like everyone was in a rush even though it wasn’t busy. We didn’t even get to finish ordering before they were trying to end the transaction and seemed annoyed when we tried to update our order to include more because apparently they had decided that was enough for us. The food is always good so I’m not really worried about that, but I was definitely out off by the service.

I don’t care what anyone says. I grew up here in Tucson and this place is the best. I still stop here every time I drive up from Phoenix. The strawberry lemon eegee mix is my favorite. I love the ranch fries and stinky pretzels (with provolone). I will continue to come here for ever.
Ps I have been asking for 14 years now please build one in Phoenix.

Its good food but there are better sandwich places, the best thing they do put a lot of meat in the sandwiches so its not just eating all bread like some places. They have gotten my order wrong every time I go there cause I ask for no onions and they always add them.

Good place but nothing special. Their slushees are just like Sonics but with smother, shaved ice. Also much more sugary than Sonic. It’s really hard to finish the small.
I’m only assuming I have this thought process as I’m not native to Tucson. With not a lot of nice or different places, this is the spot for them.

Food:
I only ever order the original grinder with their cherry pineapple eegee. I’m from the east coast so I had never heard of this place, but I really wish I had. I love their subs and their eegee’s are delicious.
Cost:
I think their prices are very fair and I’m happy to pay for their tasty subs and delicious eegee’s.
Dining Area:
Nothing special, it’s always clean and I have no complaints here.
Parking:
Parking is plenty for this place as it’s located in a shopping center, no problems here.
Service:
They were quick to take my order and answer my questions, no problems here.
Summary:
Because they are always fast with their service, because their subs are delicious and because their eegee’s (italian ice with real fruit mixed in) are so good you’ll keep eating even after you get brain freeze. I have no choice but to give them a perfect score. There is nothing I can complain about at this location.

Can you say «suicide»?
Eegee’s is the place that also has it’s own language, just like In-​n-​Out.
Stopped in after the Tucson Half-​Marathon and we were in heaven.
Choose the BigEEEE and let me tell you the kids behind the counter are true craftsman because they can get all the flavors in the cup without making a mess… it’s true poetry!
Coming to Eegee’s is one of our holy grails after bike and running races… it truly cools you down!
TIP.get the suicide, it has all the flavors and the piña colada is the best!

This location was recently remodeled and now looks less like the subway it once was. As for the food at this Eegee’s, it just isn’t the best. But they always get the Eegee’s drinks spot on. Recently I had the pomegranate at this location and it was great. I would go here for the drinks not for the food.

Was on the phone with a buddy of mine in Phoenix figuring out plans to meet up:
Dave: «where are you coming from?»
Me: «Saddlebrooke near Tuscon»
Dave: «Oh My God! You have to get me some Eegee’s for me and my mom!.. I will pay you for it»
Me: «Don’t they have it where you are at?»
Dave: «No, it’s in Tuscon only… its pure amazingness… you have to get me some… Strawberrry Mango… there is a coupon online you can get two for the price of one»
I cannot convey the excitement that was streaming over the phone to this review.
Eegee’s was about 20 min from my cousins house. Walking in reminds me of an old Subway sandwiches place. The Eegee slushies are better than the sandwiches. What is more awesome is that they serve alcoholic eegee slushies upon request (and verifed ID)…it is amazing to me because a place like that in Houston would not be able to sell alcohol. The slushies kept all the way to Phoenix (after I froze it solid but still its awesome that it didnt go weird on me).
Next time I am in town I will make a point of stopping by… for slushies only.

eegee’s can only be found in Tucson, much to my dismay. During the summer months there isn’t much that refreshes better then a large eegee’s slush.
eegee’s sells sandwiches, salads, french fries and pretzels as well as their special slush drinks which contain real fruit. The slushes come in strawberry, lemon, piña colada and each month there is a special flavor of the month. Some of the special flavors are amazing. I particularly like the watermelon, blackberry and banana blush.
You can mix the slushes with soda or iced tea as well. Lemon tastes great with tea, and strawberry goes well with Sprite. All flavors taste great with vodka, get a party pack and try it out at your next bbq!

Great service, love the grinder and staff. Keep up the good work

1. I’m not a fan of the Eegee’s drinks. I think they’re pretty much vile. The exception being cherry (which was one of their monthly flavors). The worst being watermelon or grape. they’re tied for disgusting.
2. I don’t eat their turkey sandwiches anymore since becoming a vegetarian 2 years ago, but if I were still a carnivore, it’d be one of the sandwiches I welcombed back with open arms.
3. Yes, their fries are good… but you could just as easily open a back of frozen ones from the grocery store and make them at home.
4. Who has that kind of time? Its easier for them to make them for me.
5. This location is a really clean one.
6. It’s close enough to Taco Bell that when my friends wante this back in our Senior year of high school, I could run over to Taco Bell and get something to eat.
Three stars because its just… average.

Always the last stop on the way back to queen creek via SR77. Frozen drinks to die for. Decent subs. Enormous cookies. Fries that are fabulous (if you like homestyle crinkle cut)
Experience unique to Tucson. If you are visiting don’t pass it up!

Referred to this restaurant for it’s fries based on a Tucson area magazine list of best fries. In short the fries are terrible, frozen krinkle cut. Only slightly better than what you would buy in a grocery store because they are a bit crispier, pass on the fries.
This place originated as a slush/​ice stand and their offerings for this dessert are pretty good and remarkably inexpensive. You can get a quart for $ 2.50 and if you are a tea lover like me they will use their slush as ice for your iced tea, pretty good and creative too.
