Claire's Cafe & Gallery

"I meet two friends here once a month. We look forward to coming down there every month. The food is wonderful and they even have some healthy choices. The waitress is so fun and engaging. I have only positive things to say about this place. Absolutely love it here"

"Awesome home style cooking. Great comfort food with lots of great options on the menu. The biscuits and gravy were authentic and wonderful!"

"Claire’s Cafe & Art Gallery was an excellent find on Oracle Highway in Catalina, well north of Tucson proper. The menu had some very fine nuggets to choose from, and I settled on the Mexican Frittata which was most excellent. I liked the experience enough to come back the next day. This time I settled on Al’s Favorite Handmade Corned Beef Hash which was oh so tasty. Service was friendly and prompt. The coffee was very good. I found it fun to wander around looking at the local art on display, and for sale, while I waited for my meal to be served. Highly recommended."

"Recently stumbled upon Claire's Cafe & Gallery during our travels and we were delighted to find a hidden gem. As avid travelers, we always seek out local eateries to get a true taste of the town. Upon entering, we were greeted with a feast for the eyes - an array of stunning artwork by local artists on display.Our wonderful server, Andy, recommended the Fish Sandwich, which was a perfectly golden-fried cod filet served on a French roll with lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce. The fries were crispy and piping hot. We also tried the Ranchers Roast Beef, a juicy and flavorful roast beef sandwich with green chilies and Swiss cheese on grilled rye bread. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Chef Claire, who was friendly, warm, and hospitable. It's clear that she puts her heart and soul into her establishment. We wish Claire's Cafe & Gallery much success and highly recommend it to anyone passing through Tusson."

"On way through town stopped at this cafe / fine art gallery for some food and to peruse the art. There are beautiful beaded earrings and necklaces, paintings and indian art of all types throughout the cafe; all for sale. The side door is a beautiful hand carved wooden door is just something to see in itself. I had the seafood platter that was on special, clam chowder and a pecan roll. All very good and reasonably priced. What was best though is talking to some of the regulars to learn about the history of the town walking me through pictures and articles hanging on the wall. Then, meeting Claire herself and her husband. Wonderful people. If you are in the area I would recommend stopping. I surely enjoyed taking the scenic route from Tucson to Phoenix rather than taking I-10. That way you get to enjoy places like this."
