Local resident Bobby Douglas, a former owner of restaurants and ice cream stores in Tucson, has recently opened the Sonoita Chuckwagon Grill and Ice Cream Parlor in Sonoita. He offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. His morning menu includes such favorites as biscuits and gravy and breakfast burritos. For lunch Bobby offers Reuben sandwiches and French dips. Dinnertime features nachos, large taco salads, and many choices of hamburgers, and there are outside patio tables to watch the sun go down over the western mountains while you eat.
Perhaps the most popular feature of the Chuckwagon Grill is the Blue Bunny soft-serve ice cream—32 flavors, which Douglas plans to eventually expand to 60—all available in cones or cups. If you ask, he will make you a special treat called “Avalanche,” which is ice cream and candy mixed together.
Douglas invites everyone to stop by and sample his cooking. The Chuckwagon is located at 3170 Highway 83 in Sonoita, across from the Fire Station. Call them at 520-455-4748
