Move on over, national chains – eegee’s Arizona is where it’s at. A fast food restaurant that exists only in the Grand Canyon State, this Phoenix and Tucson restaurant serves up the best sandwiches, fries, and frozen treats you’ll ever have.
Since 1971, there has only been one place for Southern Arizonans to get their fast food fix: eegee's. The local chain got its start in Tucson but has since expanded into the Phoenix area and its popularity has only continued to grow over the decades.
No matter which eegee's location you visit, the experience begins as soon as you pull into the parking lot. The atmosphere is colorful, upbeat, and decidedly retro, harkening back to the days of drive-ins and soda fountains.
Eegee's is best known for its signature frozen treats, called eegees (hence the restaurant's name.) They come in four permanent flavors: Lemon, Strawberry, Piña Colada, and Skinny Berry, plus a rotating flavor of the month.
... while others, like the Macchiato Buzz, are more decadent. You can even add soda or tea to your eegee, as well as mix two flavors together if you can't decide! There is also a seasonal secret menu, which you can learn more about on the eegee's Facebook page.
Pair your eegee with a Grinder or sub and some loaded fries for a well-rounded meal that will make your taste buds sing. There are a dozen different sandwiches to choose from, plus four types of fries! Whatever you do, don't forget a side of their famous ranch for dipping. It comes in regular, buffalo, and chipotle!
Visit the restaurant’s website for more information, including a list of locations and a full menu.
