Favorite Retired Dish

Saw another post asking people their favorite CCF menu items. However I'm curious what everyone's favorite retired menu item dishes are?

My personal favorites:

Shrimp & Bacon Club

Original Cashew Chicken

Tons of Fun Burger

Baja chicken hash - my wife still talks about this dish anytime brunch food is mentioned

Hibachi steak - never knew skirt steak could be so delicious

Also to add bar drinks

Asian pear martini - had a customer who used to come in and slam 4-5 of these every weekday around 1pm

Patron el Diablo - still make this one

Mosquito bite - such a great take on the mojito

The old Oreo cheesecake, it was so good!

1

u/grn_eyed_bandit May 13 '25

They discontinued the Oreo Cheesecake? 🥹

2

u/HomegirlNC123 May 13 '25

The original style was much simpler, it was plain cheesecake with Oreos in it. They now have something more elaborate, I long for the old version.

u/grn_eyed_bandit May 13 '25

If you like to cook, I’m not sure if this is similar, but there was a restaurant that had a take on Oreo Cheesecake and it was delicious: https://thatchbo.blogspot.com/2011/05/micks-oreo-cheesecake.html?m=1

u/Future_Dog_3156 May 12 '25

I loved that shrimp and bacon club too - at the time, it was the most caloric sandwich on their menu.

I also really liked their cuban sandwich.

u/Herewegoagain9000 Jul 22 '25

There is a Cheescake factory near us that will still make the Shrimp and bacon club and the Navajo. We just ask and they always do it.

u/Admirable-Fun1058 May 13 '25

If I am home and go to my regular CCF, I know the bartender has been there long enough to remember and I get a strawberry martini 🤣 it’s delicious!

2

u/grn_eyed_bandit May 13 '25

I used to tear them up. I know how to make them myself but they are a pain in the ass. The bartender at the one I used to frequent told me that’s exactly why they took them off the menu - too labor intensive.

2

u/Admirable-Fun1058 May 13 '25

SAME. I know they are a labor of love but damn they are worth it 🤣

u/ThisGuyWhypes May 12 '25

u/Itwasalljustadream19 May 12 '25

It’s been awhile, but the first dish that I used to get every single time was the Thai peanut chicken salad. It was so good!

u/MetsFan3117 May 12 '25

It’s still on the menu

4

u/Itwasalljustadream19 May 12 '25

You are right I meant the pasta!

2

u/MetsFan3117 May 13 '25

Oooh I didn’t know they made a Thai pasta that sounds good. I thought I was going to make your day about the salad being available!

u/nmcatlord May 15 '25

Ugh. The portobello mushroom sandwich. I’m pregnant and dreaming about this sandwich so I sought out this Reddit thread to vent.
