Kanab Restaurants: Southwest Bistro or Cuban Plates?

Wild Thyme is the choice when the accompaniments matter as much as the main dish. The chicken arrives on the menu with poblano cream and sweet-pepper pico; the burger uses elk and a smoked-bacon gouda sauce. Both include sage-butter smashed potatoes, while the chicken also includes the chef’s vegetables.

The restaurant describes its cooking as garden-to-table, with Southwestern and Cajun influences. That is useful menu context, rather than a reason to assume every ingredient is grown on site.

For a plant-based main, the listed $24 Yellow Curry combines fenugreek chickpea cakes with coconut rice, spinach, pineapple slaw and sweet-pepper pico. The menu calls it vegan and notes that the crispy wontons must be omitted for its gluten-free version; discuss dietary requirements with the restaurant.

Budget beyond the entrée price: the posted menu lists a 20% gratuity for parties of five or more and a 3% credit-card surcharge, with debit cards excluded from that surcharge.

Havana Cabana is the more direct sandwich-or-plate decision. Choose the Cubano for pork and ham layered into Cuban bread, or a pork or steak plate when you want rice, beans and plantains alongside the meat. The official menu asks guests to order at the register; it does not establish a guaranteed wait time.

The price comparison is straightforward: all three named options below are listed below $16 before tax and other charges. The Cubano comes with fries, while the two plates have the fuller rice-and-beans accompaniment.

Prefer a meatless plate? The official menu lists a $12.50 vegan rice plate. Check its current components and any substitutions directly before ordering. The supplied restaurant photos illustrate food from the account; presentation and portions can change with the current menu.
