The food was ok. The service was ok. Our food was not as good as I expected. Finding a parking space was hard to find also.

Is it a bar! It's a restaurant! It's Cornish Pasty Company! Dum do de dum. The music is superb. Elvis Costello anyone? Yes please. The beer selection while I didn't partake this trip is A+.The food....yes! I met the lovely Sarah G. here and loudly remarked on her review point of a pasty being "a glorified hot pocket" just as our waitress came by. Oops. English accent? Check. As stated a brazilian times the chicken tiki masala is tops. They come split in half so Sarah and I traded halves and I also got to try the pilgrim. Definitely amped my excitement for turkey day. both selections were tops. I want to go here and drink and eat like a king one night. Sarah changed her tune and decided it was definitely better than her last trip and even grabbed a few uncooked to feed the family that night. How cool is that? read more

When I saw the name "Cornish Pasty" I immediately felt like I needed a peasant dress and a goose following me around in order to visit this establishment. Boy was I wrong; I fit right in with my ripped jeans, straight bangs and tattoos!! The people at this place rawk. (yes, I actually typed the word "rawk") Anywho, this place is absolutely amazing. They have a whole entire page of veggie creations that make me salivate just thinking about them! I have had the Veggie Mexican (by far the best IMO), the potato and onion and the cottage somethingorother... and oh brother, I loved them all. I think that the small dining space, worn seats at the bar and the fact that you can see your food being prepared adds to the experience. My only complaint is that it takes a bit to get your food, but they fill your drinks while you are waiting, so I can deal with it. They also have Irish Car Bombs. Very cool. Very, very cool. read more

Having only been here are few times I can tell you that when I find myself in Tempe this is the first place that pops into mind when someone asks, "Where do you want to go eat?" With as many reviews as this place, it appears to cover various aspects. What I will further drive in is the fact that this is quality scratch food. Be patient this is not some Hot Pocket fresh out of the microwave. It is real food. Pasties are not the only thing on the menu. They have a great selection of salads and soups. Vegan, veg whatever...they got you covered.... read more

Love at first sight. Lust at first bite. And now I'm drunk with a red curry pasty infatuation. I don't know how it could have taken me so long to eat here, I've been eyeing this place since I moved here 3 years ago. This is my jam. This is what I look for in an eatery. This is where I want to hide out, drink beers and chat with my tatoo artist about the next ink-scursion. Small, narrow, dark, perfect level of noise, good music, cool waitstaff, fun kitchen peeps, inexpensive, and friggin delicious. At 9:30 pm there was a line of about 10 people waiting for tables. Yep the food is that good and the joint is that cool. New mission: try every veggie pasty on the menu and all sweet pasties. read more

Picture this...3 $1 bills (which may or may not be from a bet I lost (or won) at the strip club)...an affinity...a propensity...nay, a proclivity! for Irish Car Bombs and a menu that says 'CAR BOMBS: ALWAYS $3'. Those 3 words, squiggly symbol and numeral made me squeal and giggle with glee. The music they were playing was also very appeasing. Monday night, Hubzilla and I were looking for ADVENTURE!, completely exhausted with the usual suspects that we pick up for take out, we headed down to the college town affectionately known as "Tempe" and whipped out the handy dandy Yelp App. Up jumps "Cornish Pasty Company" at the top of the list. Eventually we found it tucked into the back of a strip mall (weirdly unexpected location...but sooooo glad we didn't turn away). Down to brass tacks: The menu has a bunch of stuff on it, yummy-sounding stuff, inexpensive stuff...After a brief conference with our server (and a couple of car bombs to lubricate our speaking skills) we decided to split The Oggie and The Peppered Steak. The Oggie was the favorite because once you added that red wine gravy to it, the flavors just kinda...pop. The Peppered Steak, by default, was the 2nd favorite, but was also very yummy. I just wish that the peppercorn brandy cream sauce that came with it wasn't cold. Some people really like that, I guess, but I'm a warm-to-room-temperature-or-hotter saucy kinda chick. Next time, I look forward to tackling their delicious sounding dessert menu (they have creme anglaise!!!). I REALLY look forward to going back (soon) to try more pasties! read more

It was my first visit. All my co workers have been talking about this place....with that said, ..........walking up to this establishment is not impressive. Please do not take a 1st date here. All I have heard is about the expansion..and thank goodness!! This place is dark, the staff look like they are all on tour of some skating boarding ESPN tour in town. BUT!!!! The staff (who look like skateboarders) were great! Each one of them so friendly, polite and very attentive. Beer selection-par none...excellent selection on tab. The expansion section is inviting for large groups...which was perfect for our work HH. MENU- as my friend would say......UNBELIEVABLE! I took home a Carne Asada concoction and it was sooooo good. The calzone idea is great! When you can come up with creative stuffing you can't go wrong. Ambiance 3 ..too dark for me Staff 5+ -very friendly, attentive & polite Food 5+- the calzone spin -UNBELIEVABLE...so good. even take home. Beer 5 -great selection on tab......can't get that everywhere. read more

Holy shit is this place awesome. Great unique foods, which are essentially hand held pot pies, wonderful beer selection, and desserts that will knock your socks off. This is truly a unique gem. One thing that shines brightest is the warm, friendly service. It'd be easy to look at the staff and assume you'll be getting shat upon by a hipster tattooed crew, but in reality- they really care about service, and have pride in what they do. Pro Tip- have the banana dessert, it is insanely good. read more

Ate here a few times since 2004. Haven't been in many, many months. Love all but one of the pasties I've tried, thus far. Great to know that you can call ahead to custom-order! Also, you may call ahead and have your order started so that it's ready by the time you arrive! (It took one of my pasties 50 minutes' preparation and cook time from phone call to my table!) Best to order a few and share! Keep in mind, one of these pasties could contain up to 1200 calories or more! One word: BUTTER. Vegan pasties are also available, but you must call ahead to have them made. read more

I have been here more than a handful of times and I really WANT to like ...No! I want to LOVE this place ... but I can't get over how dirty it feels when ever I am here. I love the menu, which is very English to me... Lots of pasty options. But when a place is dirty and sticky, I can't get around the fact that my food is likely not prepared in the most hygienic of states either. This past week we opted for this for a quick bite while we found ourselves in Tempe.. again, I like the menu and there are a few ciders, mine wasn't cold and ciders need to be icy to be tasty. I wasn't wow'd by the Oven Chips.. a version of the French Fry, which were drenched in oil and not one bit of crisp.. my Guinness Stew Pasty was lackluster, but it sounded great on the food splattered menu.. and again... this place is filthy, downright to the disgusting bathrooms. Pass. read more

I have been hearing great things about this place. I had to try of course. L and I had our god-daughters for the day. So we try to take them to different place to try out. We found great parking and walked in. It is seat yourself, but most of the empty tables were dirty. So we sat at a dirty one waiting for them to clean up. The staff came pretty quickly to clean off the table and gave us menus. I ordered the chicken pot pie pasty and a side of roasted potatoes. The chicken pot pie was very good, but the potatoes were slight under cooked. The service was pretty good. read more

Bottles everywhere are brimming over with lightning. Blind squirrels near and far are dining on lavish feasts of nuts. Dallas G. picked a lunch spot and it was amazing. I've been to the cornish pasty co before but not for a couple of years, and this time it was sublime. They have this pasty (essentially a mini calzone lookin' dealy with different innards) called the royale with cheese. Filled with burger, onions, fries, and such and served with 1000 island or whatever other goo you should like. Sublime. It seems small but is filling, and our waitress is a lovable little thing, too. Hells yeah. If I were a little more stuck up I might deduct one star for the ramshackle looking fellow in the chiefs hat who is running around doing various tasks--this is a food place, after all--but I'm not. 5 stars. read more

Ok, so I just tried this place after reading all the good reviews. Like someone mentioned before, the Lovely Bit O Salmon is awesome. Of course I didn't get that, but my coworker did and it made me jealous! I got the Spicy Asiago Chicken and although it was really good, it was nothing like the taste I had of the salmon pasty. I will have to get that salmony creamy goodness next time. These things will fill you up. I felt like I needed a nap after my pasty lunch! read more

I still have not been to the actual location. So this review is for the Catering service they provide. I went to a Beautiful Outdoor Wedding this weekend. Cornish Pasty was the caterer. My girlfriend being an Ish is well familiar with this type of food, for me it was a first. I have to say I really liked it. They did a great job serving it up. It was hot and very filling for sure. They had several choices for the Pasties. I chose the Steak and the Shepard Pie, both were very tasty. Teresa got the curry one which is was over the moon with. They also served a really good Salad ,the dressing was just right on it. As well and a Broc,cheese type vegtable side. Not bad at all. We will check out the shop soon, but for Catering they did a great job. read more

I have a small history with pasties. Having close friends that have been eating pasties since before Christ was born + hanging around said friends for 20 years = a small history with pasties. I recently heard about this place on Yelp and every time I saw the name, I managed to over and over mis-read it as pastry. My only defense is that I keep getting those forwards from folks that say it doesn't matter the order of the letters or even if all of them are there, you're brain will figure it out anyway. i guess this time my brain figured wrong. I digress... It never occurred to me that this little known dish would have it's own establishment run in its honor. Of course, once I finally clued in that it was pasty and not pastry and stopped acting like someone hopped up on pills, I naturally invited my pasty-lovin' friends to share in the experience. They too were elated at the variety of pasty options and the fact this was the restaurant's purpose and specialty. An added bonus is how f'n cheap it is. Talk about a steal! This place was packed! Someone said to get there before 8 or 830, but it was 7 and overflowin'. We managed to fit 5 of us in the awkward geometrical booth built for 3. My two pasty veterans ordered the Oggie with ketchup since that's what they grew up on (minus the rutabaga). They both liked it, but thought it was a little spicy due to the rutabaga and the fact they are both ridiculously sensitive to spice induced heat. One of their sig others ordered a chicken pasty of some sort which he thought was just okay. The other +1 and I had the shepherd's pie and there wasn't a crumb to be found on either plate. Our waitress seemed completely unfriendly and a little standoff-ish. She warmed up as the meal progressed, chatted with us, and she ended up being a great waitress. One of the guys drinks diet coke like he's in some sort of contest. After he downed the first one in record time and the waitress gave him a curious "you need a refill already" look, he warned her that he drinks a lot of diet coke and will be gettin' a lot of refills. About two minutes later she came back with a pitcher so he could refill till his thirst is content. Rock star move on her part. We all left full, happy, and ready for the next phase of the evening. I'll definitely be back again - maybe even for lunch since I work relatively close. Just remember pasty, not pastry. Yum! read more

Most people measure their lives in important milestones - your first kiss, marriage, buying a home, the birth of a child, a big promotion. My own timeline merely has two distinct halves - the time before I ate at Cornish Pasty and the time after. Every memory, every experience, every relationship before I put that first savory bite of pasty in my mouth is merely a shade of everything afterwards. What had I been doing with my life? Had I really tasted - really, truly tasted - food before? With the fervor of a religious convert I questioned everything I once thought I knew about the gastronomical experience. Some people might accuse me of hyperbole, but rest assured, they're either idiots or they've never actually eaten at Cornish Pasty. I favor the Lovely Bit of Salmon pasty. Think of an ideal Salmon dinner - complete with asparagus and rosemary potatoes - rolled up into a perfectly baked calzone-like dough crust and that's about what you're eating. Served with a mustard cream sauce, it's about the tastiest thing on which you'll ever put your filthy mouth. If that weren't enough, there're about 100 other pasties that will make your taste buds weep for joy and then ask for more. But wait there's more, they have beer. More specifically, they have Guinness, which happens to be the perfect drinkable compliment to the pasty. Funny how that works, huh? Enough talk, go get yourself to Cornish and have a life-changing experience. You can thank me later when I see you at the next Pasty Lovers Anonymous meeting. read more

All my life I thought the Irish were responsible for rainbows. Fantasies of red-bearded drunks dancing in shamrock fields with pots of gold had always accompanied the notorious rainbow in my childhood imagination. Then, I assumed the gays stole it. I was wrong. The Cornish own the rainbow. Let me explain: I became stranded in the Arizona desert when my Pinto got not one, but four flat tires. (Hit a hot speed bump and the tires melted right off.) I realized that I didn't have any food or water. At that moment, I knew I'd be fighting for my life. My heart began to race. I was on the verge of having a panic attack. I had to settle myself down. I took a few deep breaths and knew what I needed--smooth jazz. I turned the radio to 95.5 KYOT (The Valley's original smooth jazz station). I couldn't believe my ears. Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" was blaring through my speakers. Projectile vomit shot out my mouth. Had my entire childhood been sold down the dry canal? I thought God was playing a sick trick on me. I shuffled through radio stations faster than old people shuffle board (i.e. I took my time). But, it was true. Thee "Coyote" sold out. All hope had been lost. My spirit was shattered, and the little moisture I had left was now a soggy puddle in the passenger's seat. I was in a dire situation. In desperation, I checked between the seat cushions hoping to find some crumbs to eat but, instead, found a few petrified McDonald french fries. I looked at them and thought to myself: "I'd rather eat pigeon crap." I flicked the fries out of my Pinto. I used my finger to write a goodbye message on the dirt-crusted windshield and began my trek across the arid valley. As far as I could see, nothing but cacti and cheap Mexican food restaurants. The little vegetation was riddled with thorns and bore no fruit. The thought of a carne asada burrito tempted me like a mirage, but I knew the explosive diarrhea I'd get would dry me out quicker than a sponge in the sun. I had to stay strong and keep going. After four long minutes of walking, I gave up. The sun leached my energy and exhausted all remaining calories. The horizon held no signs of hope. Just signs for Filiberto's, Amado's, Los Favorito's, Armando's, Pedrito's, and Taco Bell. My pasty skin was turning pink and my balls looked like raisins, so I sat in the shade of a palo verde tree and prayed. I begged God not to let me die. I repented for my sins. I promised that if he let me live I'd never do anything bad ever again. Then, out of the blue, I felt drops of wetness on my bald scalp. I looked up to the sky and saw that a pigeon was dropping deuces from the branch above. (I guess He wasn't too fond of me flicking french fries onto the desert ground.) God trickled the sign I was begging for right on my forehead, and now He was putting me to the test. If I wanted to be saved, I'd have to eat pigeon deux. So, I bowed my head, placed my palms together, and said grace. There was a trembling rumble that echoed across the desert, and it wasn't the sound of me regurgitating. As I stood up from the gravel to peer into the abyss of newly formed clouds, a surge of water swept my legs out from under me. Before I knew it, I was being carried away in a flash flood. My next memory was waking to the sound of chirping birds. I flinched and covered my face fearing that I may be lying under another pigeon-riddled palo verde. I opened my eyes and was blinded by colors. I didn't know what was going on. Vibrant reds, yellows, and blues! I had no idea where I was. I got so scared, I pooped a Skittle. Then, it hit me. You know when people say that it's impossible to reach the end of the rainbow? It's a lie. It's at the entrance of a mystical place called Cornish Pasty. I entered the land of the Cornish and it was like no place I'd ever been. I expected leprechauns but encountered a species far more enchanting, with skins of the finest tapestries and earlobes so large and peculiar that they could double as tire swings. Apparently, I wasn't the first person to reach the End of the Rainbow, because this place was packed tighter than a carton of cigarettes. I tracked down one of these Cornish creatures and told her my story, explaining how famished I was. She was unusually polite and let me sit in her earlobe until a seat opened up at a table. I swung around the restaurant as she went from table to table, filling mugs up with magically frothy beer. Then, I whispered in her ear: "Are there pots of gold here?" A spot at a table had opened up, and she sat me down. She told me that she'd be right back. I sketched pictures of these Cornish creatures as I waited. The troll returned and placed a dish in front of me. She gave me a wink, then walked away. I grabbed the warm pocket of food that rested on the metal dish before me, stuffed it in my mouth, and died. It was gold, my friends. read more

These pasties are huge. I mean they're bigger than Janet Jackson's breasts, and they are a steal at $7 or so. So for value, quality and portions this is probably among your best bets in Tempe. Punk rock and British pub grub are predictable and go together like PB&J, but Cornish Pasty is probably one of the more distinctive restaurants in the Valley for its niche of pasties in a quick service restaurant/diner setting. My buddy was in town visiting and staying in Tempe wanted something unique for the area. Given that he's used to Mexican, I opted for Cornish Pasty since it was nearby. My friend couldn't finish his Oggie, with steak, potato, onion & rutabaga, but I couldn't resist polishing off the Cajun, blackened chicken breast, bacon, ham and swiss, served with an addictive side of chipotle sauce. Spicy, but not overwhelming, but a bit on the greasy side as a warning. The beer selection here is admirable, and had we not had to go back to work for the man that day, we would have certainly indulged. Kronenbourg, Boddington's and Strongbow on tap, plus your expected hipster brews available by the bottle: Chimay and Rogue among them. The setting looks diner-ish with its long narrow strip mall set-up and open kitchen. The atmosphere here is dark and weathered, but not dumpy. The difficulty here is deciding on a pasty. I could have easily gone for a meat and cheese, a Mexican pasty, or chicken tikka masala. Luckily, our server was very knowledgeable about the different pasties as we couldn't make up our mind, so his recommendations were well taken. read more

This is an awesome place that is also open late (thank heavens, because my girlfriend and I often don't eat dinner until past 9 PM). They also have the best shepherd's pie pasty that we've eaten too. If you need a drink, look no further than their hard cider. The cream of leek, potato and Stilton soup is also a must-try. We ate here two nights in a row when we were down here in the Phoenix area a couple years ago and would almost eat here every day if we could. If you're traveling through town and want to take some pasties for yourself and friends back home, give them about 20 minutes notice for a mass order and they'll get them nice and hot for you. Back home in SoCal, we have the Olde Ship. We tried the mushy peas here as well as the sticky toffee pudding. Our consensus was that the Cornish Pasty Co. has better mushy peas (the Olde Ship puts mint in theirs, which we found to be kind of weird), but the Olde Ship does sticky toffee pudding better. But we'll definitely come here again if we're in the Phoenix area. The staff is also very nice and are a fun bunch to talk to (they seem like a bunch of laid-back, easy-going college students). read more

I'm in LOVE with Cornish Pasty Co! If you've never had a pasty (pass-tee) before, picture a big pocket made from buttery-flaky crust and filled with your heart's desire! They have nearly a dozen delicious, vegetarian pasties to choose from! I love the Veggie Oggie filled with veggie-steak, potatoes, rutabaga and onions. Mmmmm! Pre-order 45 minutes before hand and they'll custom make you a vegan one! My only complaint? Since the place is so small it can really heat up because of the ovens. Be prepared, it can get pretty hot in there! read more

I love this place. If your looking for a good English treat, this is the place to go. The food is phenomenal and the atmosphere is fun. My favorite pic is "The Pilgrim", which has Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and comes with a side of cranberry sauce. My husband, who is a vegetarian always gets the vegetarian Shepard's Pie, which he loves. The only two things that I think could be improved on is the inside of the restaurant is hot hot hot in the summer (better air conditioning). And, there could be more space (it's pretty cramped) for seating. Especially if there is more than 2 people in your party. read more

Came in Tuesday night for dinner with a friend from out of town excited to show her one of my favorite restaurants. The excitement slowly turned into embarrassment over the course of our meal. The blonde female bartender made our entire experience one of the worst I've had in all my years of dining out. She was extremely rude and short with us. To the point, my friend asked me if that was part of the "pasty experience" read more

So before I moved to manage the new Sack's location on the west side, I had put in my time at the University & Hardy locale-- putting the Cornish Pasty Co. in ridiculously close proximity to myself and the other happy hour enthusiasts I happened to work with. I still call over to that location to see if anyone there wants to give me an excuse to make the drive across town to meet for a Black Velvet. Hello, my name is Kara... and I'm an unabashed alcoholic. So if you're following along, when we meet at Pasty Co, I'll already be full from a Sack's sandwich-- but as soon as I smell the baking dough & simmering spices, I'll be perusing the amply stocked vegetarian section of the menu and trying to decide between my three favorites-- The Mexican, The Rosemary Chicken, and the Tikka Masala. And man alive, you can't drink at a place that's got such a great pub-style atmosphere and not have a great pub-style ale of which they have many. That's my only complaint about this place-- I am compelled to eat hearty, drink hearty, and be merry until I about burst at the seams. Managing a kitchen myself, I'm continuously amazed at what they can do with what little space they have! Their seating area is only a bit longer and wider than their kitchen/prep area which is open to ogle and runs parallel to the grubbing area. I enjoy sitting at the bar to spy on the process and trying to catch the staff eavesdropping on our loud bar banter. I love when someone mashing potatoes chuckles at our drunken philosophy sessions. Parting Tip: As mentioned in other reviews, and their claim to fame (rightly so)-- $3 Irish Car Bombs! (I've seen places charge $6!!!). Oh, and don't forget the Banoffee Pie for dessert. They make their own whip cream! read more

The amazing reviews drove us to try this place. It was not as close to the ASU as we thought it was, but it's a pretty cool place with decent food. A patsy is an English version of a calzone with a huge variety of fillings. We had a Royal with cheese (cheeseburger), lamb with mint, bangers n mash and eggplant Parmesan. All were quite good but nothing spectacular. The Greek salad was delicious, as were the oven chips (French fries) with garlic. Great selection of brews and a very cool atmosphere. read more

This place is great! I took my mom before a play and we didn't experience any of the slow service that others mentioned. The food was unique and tasty. We each picked a pasty of our choice and then split the mushy peas and roasted potatoes. Top it off with tapped hard cider and I was in oral heaven. There was far too much food for two people to eat in one sitting. These little sandwiches are deceptively filling. And the incredible number of options from which to select from is a little mind boggling. My suggestion would be just to settle on one and then figure on a few return visits to round out the list. Tables are tight, so this is definitely not a place to take the whole posse, but that's not a huge down-grade. The music is fairly loud and as I mentioned, I was there early, so I can only imagine that it must get really loud when the place is full. Amazingly, mom commented that she liked the music (who knew she was a Green Day fan) and thought the atmosphere was charming (not how I would have described it, but clearly its a place that is even parent friendly). She already has picked out her next two choices for return visits... A couple of things that really stood out to me: 1) You can get the Oggie (the basic pasty) partially cooked for a buck less than the menu price - then take it home and finish off the baking for that fresh out of the oven taste - very cool. 2) If you want desert, you have to order it first or share food, because there is no way to finish everything - sammie and side - and still want for more. 3) I've spent a lot of time in the mother land and don't remember the food every being this flavorful... but who really cares, this is good eats and did I mention the tapped hard cider?? (takes me to my happy place)! This is a great unique food alternative for the down town Tempe area. read more

What's a pasty? G-d-like predesessor of the hot pocket! CPC is a great place for carnivores, omnivores, and veggies alike (probably vegans as well). They offer a huge menu ranging from Indian- inspired pasties to more traditional English versions. It's difficult, but save room for desert! There have been many stressful nights when all I wanted was to trade my periodic table and graphing calculator in for one of their apple caramel pasties. I have also heard wonderful things about the Strawberry Pavlova and the Banoffee Pie. read more

As if this place needs more high marks. I used to drive by the place all the time and my so at the time used to joke about Cornish Pastys being what Cornish strippers wore in non nude establishments. All I can say is yum! So one day, we took the plunge and stopped by after work. It's dark but not dank. Narrow but not crowded. Tasty but not super fast. Pasty may not be a good every day staple. But it sure is tasty! I have tried at least a half dozen menu items and none have steered me wrong but for the real "flava" I'm gonna recommend you stick with the more traditional stuff. Otherwise you could just end up eating a calzone in disguise and seriously... who wants to eat a Cornish calzone? The staff is nice, and friendly. The vibe is decent and if you like meat (or veggies) and potatoes (which may technically be a veggie but is class by itself you know) stuffed into delicous bread. You will feel as if you have died and gone to heaven. Do not be fooled by cheap imitations! This is not some gussied up hot pocket or some savory pop tart! This is the real deal! After eating this you'll be ready to go into a coal mine and work for .. well no. That may be stretching the truth. But the food is really good. One time, I preordered from this place and got a bunch of parbaked Pasties for a Christmas Eve celebration. They were a big hit. read more

When people talk about heaven on earth, be aware...they are discussing the Cornish Pasty Co. This place is A-MA-ZING...oh yes, it must be sounded out. I had friends in town from San Fransisco and they surfed Yelp to find a good place to eat in Phoenix...Cornish Pasty Co sounded awesome...and totally lived up to our expectations. So much so that after eating there one night, we returned the night after for another round! We sampled quite a few things from their menu...the Royale with Cheese was badass, the Chicken Alfredo pleasant, the Cajun wickedly delicious and spicy...and don't forget the Pilgrim, which is like having Thanksgiving bundled up and delivered to you in a wonderfully delicious pasty package. AND the portions are big enough that you can eat half and be full, so the goodness can be enjoyed as a heated up lunch the next day! BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE! We couldn't resist dessert... Night One: Banoffee Pie. Thick layer of graham cracker, wickedly thick layer of RICH caramel, a spattering of banana slices and then fresh whipped cream. FREAKIN AWESOME. AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER!!!! Night Two: Peanut Butter and Jelly Pasty. Imagine amazing pastry smothered in chunky peanut butter, drizzled with raspberry jelly and encasing bananas...now top that with some more pastry, more jelly and whipped cream...not the sickening sweet shit that comes in cans...fresh, cool awesomeness disguised as a white blob. THIS is the amazing Peanut Butter and Jelly Pasty...God's gift to man. My advice...SEEK OUT CORNISH PASTY CO, ALL YE FOOD LOVERS!!! You will NOT be disappointed. read more

I really don't get what the big deal is about with this place. I went after reading all the rave reviews by other Yelpers last evening before heading to Gammage to see Wicked. For the first time, I went to a Yelp-recommended place and was very disappointed. First of all, the place is a dump. It's run down and kind of dirty...or at least gives off a dirty feel.I have seen the new Pasty that is over on Guadalupe in Mesa and the decor is very nice and it's clean. This location is not wheelchair friendly at all and don't bother bringing more than 4 people unless you plan to stand at the bar. I'm not sure if they were employees or just friends of the employees who were working there but there was a group of college age guys hanging around both behind the counter pouring their own drinks and lounging in front of the counter who were just filthy. They had dirty beards, dirty hair, dirty ripped up clothes....I had no idea that the new look in college guys was homeless-chic. The food was....eh. My son had the meat and cheese pasty and I had the rueben. We shared our pasties and I was no more impressed with the meat and cheese than I was with the rueben. They weren't bad...they were just eh at best. You get the pasty...no side dish, no salad, no nothing. It's not really a value. Our server was pleasant but nothing special. She served our food and kept our cokes filled. It was clear that the focus was on the bar. There were about 9 people just hanging out at the bar, which is fine, but the place isn't advertised as a bar. I had brought my 8 year old son and this place is really not kid friendly given the amount of attention given to the bar and the dirty patrons/employees who were hanging around. If I do go back to Cornish Pasty it will likely be at the newer location which is why I give it 2 stars and not 1 because as a chain, it might be worth the 2nd visit. This one is just not worth the drive from the West Valley. read more

I can't. Please contact me back so I can edit this. This is my second half baked that tasts like freezer burn. You're food is going down hill. read more

Cornish Pasty - British Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Who: Cornish Pasty Co. What: Chicken Alfredo Pasty (Me) - Quite yummy, just a tad salty; Greek Chicken Pasty (Friend) - Pleasant, needed a bit more chicken; 2 Newcastle pints (tap) and 1 iced tea. When: Friday night - early enough to grab the last table in the joint. Come 8:30, it was getting crowded. Good vibe. Where: In a yucky strip mall. Like nearly everything else in this state. Why: Because we're tired of the same old crappy take-out options. Because we wanted something fresh. Because it got good reviews on this site. Because it's an independent food joint with a bit of authentic culture to boot. (They've got Pavlova and Banoffee Pie! Holy effin-A!) How: awesome was it? Quite. Nice atmosphere, see all positives noted in other reviews. Little things detracted from a five-star giving. However, I will be back. And not for a meaty pasty next time. For one of their delish-sounding desserts. Check out the menu at their website. Yuh-hum! read more

Easily one of my favorite places to eat in the valley. We first stumbled into Cornish Pasty with the thanks of Yelp a lil over a year ago. Been coming here ever since. I love this original location and its gotten even better with the expansion. For the money you really can not go anywhere as good in Phx. My wife usually can share one pasty and be plenty full. As for which ones to pick my favorite is the Cajun chicken and the Meat and Cheese. I've also tried the pilgrim, Italian and original all which are really good. I'm just a meat and potato type of guy so I like the more basic pasty. Overall a great place to come. It's dark, walls painted black, and usually good music playing. I've only come here for lunch so I can't speak for the night time scene but I'm sure it's chill and fun. read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is an awesome diamond in the rough and worth the trip every time. In fact, just the mere thought has me drooling and thinking of making a trip there. I have been to both locations - this one and the one out in Mesa. Although the one is Mesa is closer to my house and the food the same quality, I prefer the ambiance of this one better so my husband and I always try to stop by when in the area. I'l admit I'm not very adventurous when eating new things at times. I find a favorite and stick to it. I have tried about 5 different pasties but my favorites I always come back to are the Oggie and Chicken Pot Pie. Their soups are also wonderful. The potato leek is very hearty and filling but the Mushroom, Walnut and Spinach was a wonderful surprise. I would never have tried it because it seemed and odd mix of flavors but I saw an episode of "Check Please AZ" where this soup was raved about so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! The complexity of flavors was out of this world. A huge beer and a warm pasty, the casual atmosphere and aroma of the mouth watering red wine gravy all blend into a wonderful dining experience. For the value and the quality this is a "must try" for everyone. read more

I love this place as much as I love the English accent. Cornish Pasty is moved beyond expectation by its consistent vision of, quality products, fresh food and employees that love the food so much one can taste it. What else can a yelper ask from this location. Its hard to find location but once you know its always a debat, Cheba Hut or Cornish Pasty, sometimes it depends what I did earlier in the day. Its so hard to give 5 stars out but this place deserves it, I can't deny the whole experience and the restaurants dedication to food. I also heard they have a great deal for Irish Car bombs. read more

When I first started researching some food options for my trip to Arizona, Cornish Pasty Company kept popping up. At first I tried to ignore it, but eventually curiosity got the best of me. So many rave reviews about this 'glorified hot pocket'. I'm thinking, yes I like hot pockets, but I don't know if I could take that affinity to the restaurant level. Cornish Pasty Company happened to be literally less than a mile from our hotel so we had to check it out. We got there right before the dinner rush and barely waited for a seat at the bar. I decided on the chicken tikka masala and the bf got the peppered steak. He was intrigued by the bleu cheese. We were both happy with our orders. There is a decent wait from the time you order, but just think of every minute going towards a perfectly baked pasty. Now I understand how people can compare it to a hot pocket. This is the epitome of hot pockets and I can't find the words to a description that justifies how good it is. Our waitress and the kitchen guy we chatted up were both suuuper nice. The waitress was very attentive and quick. The place itself is pretty dark (literally, dim lighting) and has that euro dive bar feel to it. I enjoyed sitting at the bar, feeling like a local and watching the kitchen staff work those ovens. The food alone would have gotten me to love them. To top it off, they have THREE DOLLAR irish car bombs!!! Their receipt even says "IRISH CAR BOMB... F... YEAH" haha, they definitely know what's up. No doubt I'll be back for more the next time I'm in the area. read more

I broke the first rule of restauranting. I went somewhere named after their specialty item, and ordered something else. That's right... no pasties for me. But, I have an excuse. Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding - homemade bread, baked in chocolate brandy sauce until crispy on the outside, served warm with vanilla ice cream. Who looks and that and doesn't think, "I want that inside of me" immediately? Nobody. When I ordered it, the waiter replied with, "You know what makes this even better? If you ordered a shot of Rumple Minze (peppermint liqueur) and dipped your spoon in it before every bite." As if it needed to be better. Now I might never get a pasty from Cornish Pasty Co., but gaddamnit, rules were made to be broken. And warm chocolate bread and butter pudding, alongside melting vanilla ice cream soaked in booze, was meant to be inside me. read more

AMAZING...I went here for my birthday last night...there were 6 of us...I had no idea that there were only a couple tables big enough to sit 6 people...but we were easily accommodated at the bar..which I prefer to sit anyways You can see everything going on in the kitchen. I would imagine you would really have to like your co-workers here...working so closely in a small walkway of a kitchen. The Pasty's are simply amazing, and there is one for everyone. I had the cheese steak..and it was spectacular! This is a must go if you are in tempe!! The staff is amazing as well! Best service award for sure! And with 6 people and 4 alcoholic beverages our bill was 83 dollars.... Almost unheard of!! And finally ontop of all that.....they deliver to my house....yes they do...whatever Pasty I am in the mood for will be delivered right to my doorstep. I think I am in love... read more

Is there a limit on the number of good reviews one restaurant can get? Well, let's test that theory! Yes, Cornish Pasty really is good. Yes, this location is REALLY LOUD (but fun)!! Don't bring your date for an intimate meal, especially if s/he's a bit on the hard of hearing side. Thus far, I have tried both the Chicken Pot Pie pasty and the Cottage Pie pasty (the ground beef version of Shepherd's Pie). The Chicken Pot Pie pasty was just alright, but the Cottage Pie version was pretty darned awesome... Frankly, I was a little afraid of the "ground minted lamb" in the Shepherd's Pie, but maybe I'll try it next time, after drinking a cider to start out with. Did I mention the Strongbow Cider is worth a sip, or two, or three? (I like the fact that they have 3 sizes of Draft Beers, so that I don't have to special request a small glass...) read more

You know when you have those days where you think "diet? what diet?" Yeah, those are the days that I go to the Cornish Pasty Company. Because what is a pasty if not a bread pocket stuffed with all the world's delights and 1,000 calories? Well, maybe not 1,000 calories, but it's close- it's also worth it! Prior to abandoning meat, my favorite was the royale with cheese (minus the shrooms please). My favorite food in the entire world used to be a round patty of ground beef, sandwiched between two sesame seed buns until I discovered this little treasure. A pocket stuffed with ground beef, cheese, grilled onions (and get this) french fries!! It honestly doesn't get any better than this. That is of course, until I became a vegetarian. Now my favorite guilty pleasure has become the cheese and onion pasty. Packed with potatoes, rutabega, cheese and onions, and lots of ketchup on the size. Even though I know all the sodium will cause me to bloat up like a blimp later, I just can't resist eating it all in one sitting. There's a robust vegetarian menu, featuring Quorn brand mock-meat which has been delicious each time I've tried it. And every now and then, when you're determined to stay on the old diet wagon, but everyone in your lunch meeting wants pasties, fear not, they do have a salad menu! The pasta salad is super yummy, and comes with the option of adding meat if you're looking for some additional protein. Bottom line, there really is something for everyone at the Cornish Pasty Co. If you haven't tried it yet, do it! read more

They have a pasty filling for all tastes. The curry potatoes are wonderful, as well. I also love the cider here. Ambiance was great for me; I like it dark and cool. The outside seating is fine for good weather days. read more
