Gus Balon’s Restaurant Marks 60 Years as a Tucson Breakfast Staple

Gus Balon’s Restaurant takes breakfast seriously, with scratch-made classics that draw in regulars. Some regulars have made Gus part of their daily routine for over 50 years.
"I have owned it, actually, for 20 years, but I’ve grew up in the business since Gus is my grandfather,"
Owner and general manager Kelli Phillips has worked in the restaurant since childhood. Her grandfather opened the original Gus’s Catalina on Grant and Country Club in the 1960s. The restaurant later consolidated to its current location at 6027 E. 22nd St., where it has stood since 1965.
Phillips credits her staff and long-term customers for keeping the business strong.
