The staff is very nice a nice place to relax with a glass of wine after shopping the food is delicious you cannot go wrong with burger or a nicely made salad.

Delicious hamburgers! Pricey, but generous portions & had enough to take home. Indoor/outdoor seating. Dressy casual. Friendly staff. Will return.

Shelby's is a great little gem hidden away behind some shops in the artist community of Tubac... we had a wonderful lunch there sitting on the terrace serenaded by some excellent country music...I would high recommend the food and atmosphere...the mountain views from the terrace...are spectacular !More

We have been to Shelby’s many,many times over the past years. Haven’t been to Shelby’s in a year or so,did ownership change?Burgers had some seasoning for which I didn’t care much for and the slaw was chunky with too much kale.Service was poor,even though it...wasn’t crowded.Our server never returned after delivering the food order.She was too busy socializing with the other staff.We felt ignored.Will not go back.More

We went to Shelby’s on 4/29/22 at about noon. We were seated and ordered ice tea to drink. The ice tea was delivered but we were never given napkins or flatware, nor was there any sweeteners available at the table. I had to ask for...sweeteners. I ordered the Sonoran Chicken sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries and my girlfriend ordered the Grilled Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich also with Sweet Potato Fries. We were asked if we wanted avocado on our sandwiches to which we said “Yes”. When the sandwiches were delivered, my girlfriends plate had waffle fries and not sweet potato fries. We told the wait staff person and they took away my girlfriend’s entire plate instead of just bringing out some sweet potato fries when cooked. They eventually brought back her plate with just the sandwich and said they would bring out the sweet potato fries when they were ready. They did eventually bring out the fries. When we received the bill, they had charged us $6.22 for a few diced avocado pieces! My girlfriend’s sandwich didn’t even have any avocado in it! Two ice teas were $7.28! The lunch before tax was over $47! If the service had been good, this would not have been so painful, but with the poor service, it was an insult. Last trip to Shelby’s Bistro for us.More

Ate lunch here while shopping Tubac. Great salads & huge sandwiches. Good serve & value. Outdoor seating available. Get there early, it gets crowded around 12+

A friend and I had lunch at Shelby's Bistro on the first day of the Festival of Arts, Feb. 9, 2022. After waiting 30 minutes we were seated but we knew there was a wait. I ordered the portobello wrap and my friend ordered the...Swiss and mushroom burger. The waitress asked if we wanted avocado and we said yes. My friend also said yes to adding bacon. The waitress never mentioned a surcharge of $3 for each item, which added $9 to the bill. Very sneaky and a very bad business practice.More

Our lunch food was average and frankly, not much here for vegetarians. But we primarily wanted an outdoor place (due to COVID) and they had a nice patio, so that was good. We also enjoyed a singer playing music. Good friendly service.

We got there at 2:15, and they closed at 3. Two of us ordered a chicken curry wrap, and it seemed they didn't have enough chicken salad for both wraps. Not only was there not much filling, the filling that was in the wrap was...mostly celery. My husband's blackened chicken wrap was "meh." The margaritas actually tasted like they had been watered down...probably the worst we've had in quite a long time. To top it off, we had to wait for over 20 minutes to get our check. On the plus side: Patio dining is beautiful. Comfortable chairs.More

We had a wonderful lunch on a quiet Monday in Tubac. Not many of the restaurants were open but we were lucky Shelby’s was. We couldn’t decide between the chicken pesto sandwich or the Black Bean burger so we ordered 1 of each and decided...to split it. Our server, understood what we were doing and our plates arrived with a 1/2 sandwich of each. We didn’t have to do anything. We started with the black bean burger and it was excellent. It had a slight hint of heat but nothing that overwhelmed the other flavors. We also got an order of the sweet potato fries and potato waffle fries. We are both partial to sweet potato fries but when our server suggested a serving of both, we agreed. Again, our plates contained 1/2 orders of both. The sweet potato fries were delicious but we couldn’t believe how good the waffle potato fries were. Crispy on the outside, wonderful potato flavor on the inside. She explained how she made them, fresh, every day. The fries were so good, and we figured they wouldn’t taste as good later, that we ate the burger and the fries. We were too full to eat our chicken pesto sandwich so our server brought us boxes to go. We ate the chicken pesto sandwich 2 days later and it was excellent. It was the 1st meal of our trip and it was fabulous. We talked about how much we enjoyed both the food and the service during our entire trip.More

We had a poor experience for lunch on Saturday. The waitress was unpleasant. We both ordered the portabella wrap lunch. We both ordered the sweep potato fries. One wrap was ordered without the cream cheese. My order came with regular fries and both had no...cream cheese. I told the waitress that I ordered the sweet potato fries and she said...no you didn't and walked away. She was so rude I was uncertain about asking for the fries I ordered because who knows what she would do to the order in the kitchen. The bus girl was friendly and efficient. The food was ok but not what I ordered.More

Menu items such as basil chicken with spinach (hot) on ciabatta roll, Turkey & cheese (hot)....and their sweet potato fries & regular potato waffle fries were outstanding! All food served hot by two wonderful wait staff girls! Nice wine menu & plenty of outdoor seating...for dinner...it was a bit too hot outside to eat there.More
