Eegee’s

Summer heaven, almost tried all the summer monthly special flavor. Great to ends a sweaty cycling or tennis match.

Was looking to grab some lunch while I was in Tucson. Wasn’t interested in the usual, so I asked my colleagues to direct me to spot that wasn’t a nationwide chain. Eegee’s was the first thing that a few of them said, so off I went. Got there and the location was very clean. The ladies at the counter were extremely friendly and helpful. I chose the deluxe grinder (ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, pickles, black olives, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, spices, peppers & house dressing) sandwich w/​fries and a jumbo sized cherry limeade slush which was sort’ve like a mix of shaved ice and an Icee. The deluxe grinder was real good. Bread was soft, but firm. Meat and veggies were fresh. Very good hoagie. Fries were decent. Nothing to write home about. The icee though… good God!!! That thing was good as hell. It had bits of fruit in it and was extremely heavy. Had it not been for the heat outside melting it a little, I may not have finished it. I drank some inside as I dined, I drank some as I drove and when I got back to the office, I still have half left. Definitely good bang for the buck. Next time I’m in Tucson, best believe I’ll return to Eegee’s.

If I could give this place no stars I would. The customer service was horrible. We placed our order with, I think her name was lucy and she had attitude from the very beginning, no eye contact, not even acknowledging that you are talking to her. She rolled her eyes when you asked her a question. We ordered a fun pack which she put off to the side as she went on to help the next customer. After waiting for about 10 minutes my aunt asked if they were almost done with our order, lucy didn’t even give her an answer she just rolled her eyes and grabbed the fun pack she put off to side and went to the back and came back saying her manager was going to make it. Then we saw the manager come from the back with a fun pack which we thought was ours and he just walked past us and said this is for someone else. When he came back my aunt asked the young guy if he was the manager which he was and she explained the situation to him and he looked at the girl lucy and she just shook her head and rolled her eyes and he went to the back and made our fun pack and handed it to us and asked if we wanted him take it to the car but that was the only acknowledgement we got the whole time we were there. Horrible service!

I visited Eegee’s on two occasions for two reasons — 1) I’m visiting Tucson and I have never been to an Eegee’s before and I was intrigued. 2) I heard about their delicious slushie flavors and I’m a sucker for them. The frozen drinks are scooped into a cup — like ice cream — and not dispensed from a machine — which is a nice touch, I thought.
I tried their flavor of the month — Peach ‘n Berry and Root Beer during my visits. I have to say I was disappointed. Peach ‘n Berry was bright orange and stained my mouth and it didn’t taste quite like real peach OR fake peach. It was strange. The picture on the website looks like it had purple berries in it, but it just comes with normal strawberries. The Root Beer slushie was barely passable. For some reason, it tasted like artificial sweetener to me (i.e. Splenda). My roommate got Skinny Berry, which she said was downright bad due to the strong artificial sweetener taste. My other roommate got Strawberry Lemonade, which she liked.
Overall, I’m giving 3 stars because I didn’t try any of their food, but the slushies were really disappointing. I would rather go to a 7 – 11 and get a slurpee than go here. P. S. the sizes are pretty big. I think a kid’s size or small is a good size — but you can always freeze them and eat them later.

My husband wanted to try an Eggee. He took one sip and said «Whoa! That’s was too sweet». Also the drive through spoke super fast and became frustrated when asked to repeat herself.
We haven’t tried anything else on the menu.

I think it’s official, I have been to every Eegee’s in Tucson, Casa Grande, and the Great Steak in Tempe. They are all very consistent, so I haven’t run into one that was not very good over another. Look for the flavor of the month eegee, the italian grinder, and the pastrami call my mommy! Ever since I learned the eegee’s have vitamins in them, I now consider them a major part of the food group.

So much better than Subway or Quiznos. They make a good turkey sandwich and a good hot dog. Their fries are really good. When you combine it with friendly, fast service, this place beats any fast food chain.

The staff are pretty friendly at this location. Egee drinks are really good, I had the watermelon. Fries are really good for fast food but the pretzel was pretty mediocre.

The staff at this Eegee’s is always so friendly and works very hard every time I come in. I have never had a disappointing experience here, and since I live very close to this location, I come often. Even on busiest days I always feel that I am a valued customer whose order matters.

Whenever I am down in Tucson from Mesa I always make sure to stop by Eegee’s. I wish they would build one in the Phoenix Metro area. I love the Bacon and Ranch Fries with a Pina Colada Eegee sooooo yummy and it stays frozen on my drive back to Mesa,

I had turkey, ham and chesse sub and it was toasted. Being toasted your sub tastes better than cold sub! I like it better than Eegee’s meatball sub.

Awww… I miss eegees somethin terrible! I love the strawberry and lemon eegee mixed together… the fries nice and hot and the salami and cheese sub… Alas it has been too long since I have eaten there

A sub is a sub is a sub, but not when it’s Eegees! But that’s not my focus here. I want to talk about the signature Eegee frozen drink. They are awesome and being a native Tucsonan, we were practically raised on them. There are three «all the time» flavors — lemon, strawberry and piña colada. Then they roll out a «flavor of the month» which is what keeps me coming back! Also, during Rodeo Days (late February) they sometimes have Root Beer Eegees. Make it a fizz (add 7-​up or Sprite to any flavor) or a tea-​gee (that one’s self explanatory.)

I dream of a day they will open a venue in Colorado! I know the best thing about this chain is their tasty slushes, and that we get long cold winters, but they are addictive and if we have friggen pinkb***ies we should have an Eegee’s!
Those tasty treats go amazingly with booze, and I must get one each trip to Tucson. The food is why it doesn’t get a fifth star, but who goes there for the food?!?
Star light, star bright…

What is there to say about eegee’s, really? It’s a Tucson chain that tries to compete in the sub sandwich category of fast food joints, but I’m pretty sure it’s their frozen drinks keeping them afloat. The sandwiches are really bland & overpriced… & I don’t know if they’ve changed this by now (it’s been forever since I punished myself with an eegee’s sub) but they charge extra for cheese & I didn’t figure it out until I looked at my receipt. Booo! :(
That being said, if this was just a drink shop, I probably would’ve rated them four stars. Most of the flavors I tried were at least decent. There were some I thought tasted gross (Holly Berry comes to mind), some that were borderline gross but strangely addictive (oh God, Black Raspberry — I hated you from the first sip, but how many of you did I buy over the course of the month?) & others that tasted like syrupy versions of what they were supposed to, but I just didn’t care for (Tangerine, Strawberry, Mango). My absolute favorite is Watermelon, which is the July flavor. It reminds me simultaneously of a watermelon jolly rancher & the Friendly’s Watermelon Slammer, both of which I love. & I won’t lie, they’re idiots for making it a Flavor of the Month, that liquid mouthsex should be available all year round, yo! (It kills me that I skipped town right before my favorite flavor came around again! Now I’m debating getting some shipped to Boston, to share with my friends here. haha)
I’ve tried two or three of their cookie flavors, too. The pumpkin spice was great, & I can’t remember the others I tried, but I don’t think I’ve had a bad eegee’s cookie. hehe. Besides, if you screw up cookies, which are probably baked from a premixed corporate tub of cookie dough to begin with, then that’s pretty sad. :3
Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend their sandwiches… however, due to it being a local chain, I do believe every Tucsonan (& all curious out-​of-​towners) should try something from eegee’s at least once. A small eegee will probably only set you back a buck & some change, so it’s a small risk. Pina Colada, Lemon, & Strawberry are available all year, & their flavor of the month is advertised on their sign & windows, as well as on their website.

Love their fries and sandwiches. Possibly best fries in town.
Summer is getting close, grab an iced Eegee’s drink and kick back and enjoy. Three standard flavors (Pina Colada, Lemon, or Strawberry) are carried daily with a fourth flavor on rotation changing each month.
