This week’s Cutlet Wednesday special is bringing a little sweet, a little savory, and a whole lot of trouble.

The Blackberry Billy

Crispy fried chicken cutlet topped with blackberry bacon jam, pesto goat cheese, and mixed greens, all stacked on grilled focaccia.

The rich blackberry-bacon sweetness, tangy goat cheese, and fresh greens hit every note in one bite. It’s the kind of sandwich that sounds a little crazy until you take that first bite… then it all makes sense.

Available this week only at The Crooked Goat.

Get crooked. Eat well. Repeat.

Chicken sandwich. Classic, delicious!

This week’s specials are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do: causing problems.

The “Katsu Me Outside” cutlet is here and it’s loud. Crispy cutlet, curry crack aioli, pickled cucumber, and sesame cabbage slaw stacked up like bad decisions on a Friday night.

We’ve also got:
— Stuffed Poblanos loaded with chorizo, rice, black beans, three cheese, and roja verde salsa
— “Sauced & Confused” with smashed meatballs, Italian sausage, peppers, onions, marinara, and parm on a sub roll
— Country Fried Skirt Steak with onion gravy, mashed potatoes, and vegetable
— JP Dempseys throwback spinach artichoke dip because some things never should’ve disappeared

No modifications. No regrets.

Come get crooked.

This week’s specials are here and we’re leaning hard into spring chaos, old school throwbacks, and sauce-covered bad decisions.

A little South Philly. A little backyard cookout. A little “might need a nap after this.”

(No all drums. No all flats. We said what we said.)

🔥 WEEKLY CUTLET — “THE GOAT IN THE GARDEN”

CINCO DE GORDO is HERE 🇲🇽🔥🎭
Fat Tuesday × Cinco de Mayo chaos… and yeah, we went all in.

All week long we’re running a menu that makes absolutely no sense… and somehow all the sense in the world.

NO MODIFICATIONS. NO REGRETS.

We’re talking:
Cajun Pozole Rojo
Mexican Street Corn Hushpuppies
Creole Pupusas
Fat Tuesday Guac

Catfish Po’ Boy Tacos
The Bayou Bandito
Chicken Tinga Jambalaya
Crawfish Étouffée Tostadas
Cajun Carne Asada

…and Churro Beignets to finish it off right.

This is brass band meets street cart.
Mardi Gras meets Mexico City.
Bad decisions encouraged.

Eat big. Drink bigger. Stay crooked.

Cajun Carne Asada
Churro Beignets

Cajun × Mexican chaos that absolutely should not work… but damn, it does.
