Cugino’s: Your Go-To Sports Bar for Pizza and American Comfort Food

I've been to this place quite a few times over the years, and we've become regulars because we always enjoy it! However, tonight I went out for food with my parents and their friends. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich, which has been one of my go-to choices. It's a very crispy sandwich with a chicken cutlet melted cheese, and the vodka sauce adds a nice little kick to it--nothing too spicy, especially coming from someone who doesn't enjoy spicy food. Another one of my favorite dishes is the Luigi burger, as that used to be my go-to order every time. The service is usually great, although it can get busy at times, causing a bit of a delay. But it's worth the wait, especially since they often have all the big games on the TVs. This place is fantastic for family meals or if you want to host a party, as they have a designated area specifically for private events and offer catering services as well. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out. I've never had a bad experience here, and it's worth visiting while you're in North County!

Great time. Stopped in around 8 on Saturday evening and they were not too crowded. Had starters, original stuffed meatballs they were tasty. The Korean Nuggs were the tastiest. Especially if you like spicy. We ordered a second round of that . Lots of TV's so husband was happy. Nice family dining atmosphere. All ages present. Kylie our server was great. She made sure to check on us after we were served. Refilled our beverages and to see if we wanted any entree's . We thought we may but got caught up in the delicious appetizers.

Great food! Fun atmosphere! Our server was very patient with our group I definitely recommend the burgers/fries and the chicken nachos. I don't think I managed any photos because we just dug right in!

Went to try Narrow Gauge Brewery beers since Cugino's has a large variety on tap (and the brewery was being renovated). Large dining area with a mix of standard and high-top tables. Service was great, various servers consistently checking in. Bar dining room had touch tunes. We did not eat; however, heard great things about the food before going and from people while there. A lot of TVs mounted around the room which is great for sporting events.

First of all, my Bloody Mary was presentable, not necessarily "Artisian". The Honey Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich was good, but not hot in my opinion. It was a HUGE piece of chicken, just not really flavorful. I ordered the Fresh Roasted Vegetables for my side and was told that it would consist of broccoli, squashes, and red pepper. Well, it was 99.9 percent squashes, with ONE piece of broccoli and 3-5 tiny pieces of pepper. And again, not a lot of flavor. The Korean Nuggs on the other hand were GREAT! Lots of flavor and much bigger pieces of chicken than I was expecting. I could've made a meal from just those, even though they're listed as an appetizer. The service was good and the ambiance was pretty normal. Overall, more along the lines of a 3 star place, but the Nuggs brought it up a little.

I came here for my birthday with my partner. I think it was trivia night going on so they had a sign pointing folks to which way to go if you weren't doing trivia. The lighting is intimate here and has many things going on at once without being a huge distraction while with your party. We sat ourselves and was immediately tended to by our waiter who took our drink orders. There was "adult Capri Sun" on the menu so I HAD to try it. I ordered a strawberry margarita for mine and my partner got Mother's 3 Blink Mice, an amber beer of sorts. Since it was my birthday and I wanted to sample a few things, we ordered Korean Nuggs for the appetizer and for our entrees, Nashville Hot Chicken, Italian Grinder (with sweet potato fries) and The Frenched Pork Chop. I felt the Korean Nuggs got weighed down by the sauce and was slightly less crispy than desired. The Italian Grinder was full of flavor and all three meats worked well together. The Frenched Pork Chop was seriously the BEST pork chop I've ever had in a restaurant. It was juicy, tender and the sauce was not overpowering the dish. The sweet potato fries were really good too! We didn't have room in our stomachs for the Nashville Hot Sandwich, fries and mac n' cheese while dining in so we had it the next day and if you do not have a tolerance for heat, do not purchase. I am glad we had some leftover ranch from the Korean Nuggs to tame some of the heat. The sandwich is open faced so you only get once piece of bread when you really may need two pieces lol. I was not super impressed by the mac n'cheese. It was kind of dry. I would like to point out this place appears to be consistent with food presentation which is good. What i saw on their website compared to what I received looks pretty identical! They are opening up another location in O'Fallon that I plan to visit with a friend in the near future!

We made our way to Cugino's primarily for the Narrow Gauge beer (lots on tap that you can't anywhere else), but the food was also very good! Our party got the meatballs, wings, side caesar, and sandwiches. All great bar/pub food. This place does get quite busy, so if you're more than 2 people, try to come on the early side. Good to take kids too (high chairs available).

My first time eating out since moving and so glad he took me here because first, yummy! Secondly, great vibes and such friendly staff! Of course had to try these stuffed meatballs and omg-The crispiness! Never have I had a crispy stuffed meatball and they are massive and delicious! Why are not all meatballs crispy? They should be! I ordered a chicken parm sandwich, he got the grinder. My sandwich was MASSIVE! Huge freshly breaded chx with this great pink sauce for dipping-delicious. The grinder was equally as tasty! My sweet potato fries were on point as well. I was so excited to be out, I forgot pictures but next time for sure.
