Thia: Dinner at the Pourhouse?! Who would have
thought of that? We have had their fantastic
chicken wings and crispy potato skins and other
snacks many times when we stopped in to hear the
live music or karaoke. We had seen the signs for
various dinner specials, but we kept forgetting to
actually go to the Pourhouse for dinner, at least,
until we finally did. And we wished we had done it
sooner!
We have now had dinner at the PourHouse several times. I usually get steak. The Ribeye is delicious. This time I thought I would try the Flat Iron
Steak Special.
It comes with steak, shrimp or chicken and
french fries. My beautiful chunk of beef was about
2 1/2 inches thick and cooked perfectly medium
pink in the middle. (Thanks Diana!) I ate half of it
before I realized I was supposed to be using a
steak knife ( because Robb accidentally used my
set of silverware) I was cutting this thick juicy
steak with a little ole dull butter knife and it was
working just fine! And those breaded shrimp poppers were the good ones, all meat, no tails. I
dunked them in tangy cocktail sauce. If you don’t
like shrimp you
can get chicken
tenders instead.
Plus some hot
crispy french
fries, makes me
wish I had this
dinner all over
again right
now! And it was
ONLY $9.95! (It
was on special,
the regular
price is just one
dollar more. )
Robb wants to say that he loves the chicken
wings, ( I love the chicken wings - Robb) and is
going to get them whether it is for a snack or supper. He usually gets a large order of mild with
extra sauce on them and an order of fries. This
last time we were in for dinner I convinced Robb
to try something new, and he did! He ordered the
philly cheese steak sandwich. It was hot and delicious! Real chunked up steak, topped with onions,
peppers and melty american cheese on a toasted
hoagie roll, with a side of onion rings and a pickle
it hit the spot. When I asked Robb to give me a
comment on what he thought of the food at the
Pourhouse, he said simply, "GREAT!"
The Pourhouse is a morphing entity, it’s a bar
with music, live bands, karaoke, drinks, pool playing and it's one o
