For the past 26 years, the good times have rolled at Kingfisher and the fun continues this year with takeout specials on Tuesday, February 16. The evening signals the end of Mardi Gras — which is the biggest day of celebrations —with its classic New Orleans fare.
This year, the restaurant is bringing that perfect amount of New Orleans’ style to Tucson in their feast, including Cajun Creole, Gumbo, and Oysters “Storyville.”
All of those dishes will be available for takeout throughout the day. To top it all off, the crew at Kingfisher has come up with a delicious, fun way to celebrate the annual event — a drive-thru Bananas Foster tent.
You’ll find it located in the rear parking lot of the restaurant, and it’ll be prepared to order from scratch from 4 – 6:30 p.m.
Foodie Tip: It’s suggested as an “eat in the car” dish because it includes a scoop of ice cream on top of heated bananas.
Kingfisher Bar & Grill is located at 2564 E. Grant Rd. For more information or to make your reservations, call (520) 323-7739 or visit kingfishertucson.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
