Cuckoos Nest is a hidden treasure with a fun and lively atmosphere, complete with intricate decor and multiple rooms. The friendly servers provide outstanding service and offer good recommendations. Guests can enjoy Mexican food at reasonable prices, with options like fried fish tacos, homemade salsa, and chips. The restaurant also accommodates events and dietary restrictions, including gluten-free choices such as cheese and chicken enchiladas. Visitors often try dishes like ranchero nachos with chicken, crispy catfish fingers, and the flavorful gumbo, which many find outstanding. The menu features Cajun/Creole options and appetizers like queso, stuffed jalapeños, and coconut shrimp. Be sure to save room for dessert, such as fried ice cream with maple syrup, for a sweet finish. The colorful decor and lively ambiance make it feel almost like being in Mexico, and the outdoor patio offers a relaxing spot for lunch or dinner. Despite occasional delays and a few cold dishes, the restaurant strives to make things right, and their welcoming atmosphere remains a highlight. The staff, including attentive servers like Phillip, are friendly and make guests feel at home, adding to the enjoyable experience.
