Andy Lin's Lickity List
Amazing $10 Authentic Meals in Tucson
Frog & Firkin

Date Visited: May 12, 2014
Style: English Pub
Go-To-Lick: The Firkin Burger with Cheese
Price: $9.13 including tax
Raves: The "Frog" has been around in Tucson for several years and sits along University Blvd, a high traffic area close to the University of Arizona with several restaurants and bars. I won't usually comment on the atmosphere at restaurants on this list since it's all about the food, but hey, having some beautiful college girls walking by to look at while you're enjoying your food and a beer at an outdoor table is always a welcome perk!
At Frog & Firkin, my Go-To-Lick is the Firkin Burger with Cheese. All the ingredients in their burgers seem homemade, from the tasty bun, to the burger meat, and the American cheese. This burger does not disappoint, and the fries are great (they have several options on fries that are pretty popular, but I just like the original ones). I recommend getting the normal bun and if you're feeling up for it, why not be adventurous with one of the specialty burgers.

Andy Lin is your typical Tucson resident and is a not food connoisseur. He is simply a man who knows what pleases his tastebuds and belly. Special thanks to Nate M. and Matt H. for help with coming up with a title for this list.
