My wife and I have been eating at the Desert Edge Pub (or simply “The Pub”) for over 30 years. In that time we’ve seen the layout and decor change, waiters come and go, and even the beer selection has changed over time, but what has always stayed consistent is the quality of their food and their service.
For those craving a simple soup and salad, the Pub’s signature French onion soup with a mixed green salad is one of the best in the state. Those looking for a heartier meal should try their traditional Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut, or maybe a pastrami sandwich with cheddar cheese (and add avocado…my favorite) – all of their sandwiches are fantastic…and most of them fall under the $10 mark.
I’m a hot pasta fan myself, but I’ve grown to love their cold pasta Chicken Niçoise salad with egg, tomato, green peppers, cucumbers, red onion, and of course…chicken. (Food Tip: Try upgrading the green salad that comes with your sandwich with the pasta salad.)
If you’re lucky, you might even go there on a night when they’re serving their dinner special; steak sandwich with a Gorgonzola garlic cream sauce…it’s to die for!
Lastly, I have to mention the service…you won’t find a nicer group of servers than the ones at the Pub. One in particular – Annie, that my wife and I have known for several years is a one of a kind. She exudes positive energy and is always genuinely interested in knowing how our family is doing. We truly miss her when she goes on vacation. Thanks for putting up with all of our “high-maintenance” orders over the years!
