A Tucson fast-food institution famous for its unique frozen fruit drinks (the 'eegee'), crinkle-cut fries with ranch, and hearty sub sandwiches. It's a nostalgic favorite for anyone who grew up in Tucson and a must-try for newcomers.
No business screams 'Tucson' quite like Eegee's. Founded in 1971 by two high school friends selling a single lemon-flavored frozen drink out of a truck, it has grown into a beloved local empire. The star of the show is the 'eegee' itself, a frozen fruit beverage with a texture somewhere between a slushie and Italian ice, with a new, eagerly-anticipated 'Flavor of the Month' released every month.
Beyond the iconic drink, locals are fiercely loyal to their signature crinkle-cut fries, which are almost universally paired with their house-made ranch dressing. The menu also includes a variety of hot and cold sub sandwiches, like the popular Original Grinder. As Kelley's blog post highlights, Eegee's isn't just a restaurant; it's a piece of Tucson's identity, a taste of home, and a mandatory stop for anyone visiting the Old Pueblo.
