Anyone who knows me, knows I am a huge lover of French fries. So, when I heard from several people that Sedona had a specialty of “Cactus fries”, I had to try them.
We were recommended to the Cowboy Club, a dual restaurant consisting of the casual family friendly eatery side by side with a more upscale version.
Definitely a bit of a hokey tourist restaurant, complete with a rattlesnake skin hung on the wall.
Intrigued by the buffalo brochettes and green chile rattlesnake meatballs, I ordered the appetizer sampler, which included cactus fries.
I think I’ll be sticking with regular potato fries – the cactus variety didn’t quite do it for me. The fries are strips of cactus, battered and fried. Not much else to describe – they’re limp, watery, and rather tasteless.
The buffalo brochettes were actually very good, though! And the cilantro flatbread that came with the spread was fantastic. I could eat a whole plate of just that, and almost stole Cory’s portion. 
So, good effort, Cowboy Club, but not a fan!

Actually we just visited Sedona and ate the appetizer platter with the cactus fries upon recommendation by our tour guide. We loved them!!!!
I’m glad you liked them! We didn’t think they were horrible – just not to our taste. 🙂
Hope you enjoyed Sedona. It is such a beautiful town! We can’t wait to go back.
