IMG_4851

UPDATE NOW CLOSED*********Cuff Restaurant is located in the Historic Part of Old Town Glendale AZ. They offer a limited menu of American Foods, Asian Foods, Bar Grub, Gourmet Infused Cocktails and reasonably priced wines.  The food isn’t fancy but what I tried was tasty and I don’t think any dinner was priced at over $12.00. You step inside and it looks like you walked into a black hole and your sort of reliving the past history that only the walls can tell.

We ordered the Chicken and Potato Egg rolls to start with.

They were nothing fancy but were tasty. The sweet and sour sauce was toned down and wasn’t too sweet. For only $4.00 they were very satisfying.

I looked out the window and saw a happy local riding his bike in Murphy Park across the street. My photo isn’t that great but that is a middle aged man riding a tricycle.

I’ve been here a few times and wanted to try something different for dinner so I went with the Happy Hour Fish Tacos ($7.00) and a side salad ($4.00).

The fish was prepared nicely and the portion was generous. I didn’t ask what kind of fish it was but it tasted like swai  to me. They gave me fresh lime and two house made sauces to make the plate tasty. They were caring enough to warm up the corn flour tortillas to boast the flavors. The side salad was very fresh and seemed deluxe with delicious lightly candied pecans and creamy pieces of goat cheese. This little salad just seemed like a treat.

My husband had the pulled pork sandwich with fries.

Not sure why but they served the pulled pork sandwich with a piece of pepperoni? My husband said the pulled pork was very tasty. Even the slaw was tasty and they spiked it with a little hot pepper. The sandwich also came with a nice big serving of fresh hot fries.

Decided to go for dessert and got the Key Lime Pie.

The pie tasted very home made but In a GOOD way. The filling had the right amount of tang against the right amount of sweet and the flavor popped.  I normally skip the crust because most are not worth eating because sometimes they taste like cardboard or are just thick piles of cooked flour but on this Key Lime Pie even the crust was tasty and seasoned just right.

Other things we tried at the Cuff were….

The Smoked Brisket – Had it twice, One time it was to die for, 2nd time it was drier and less flavorful….but found out the next week they were closing for the summer so that might be why..?

Cute little restaurant with not much that’s fancy but the cocktails. This restaurant serves up old time charm, prices and value.
