History

Established in 1976.

CUCKOO’S NEST is a nightly fiesta in its 39th year serving award-​winning food and providing nighttime entertainment for locals and visitors to Connecticut’s eastern coast. This family-​owned CUCKOO’S NEST has been serving its signature Mexican, Cajun and Creole eclectic specials since August 1976.

Named the «Best Mexican Restaurant» by Connecticut magazine 16 times, CUCKOO’S NEST is continuing to impress its guests with its state-​of-​the-​art dining in a Mexican atmosphere, live entertainment, and cuisine.

The CUCKOO’S NEST promises you the best nachos, specials, sangria and margaritas north of the border. The ambience is incomparable as it’s in a 200-​year-​old New England barn with seating in the haylofts and stalls.
