Bite of the Best

Okay, okay it often does, but I know that juicy sandwich and crispy potatoes are high in fat and cholesterol, so I don’t indulge too often.

I tripped over Steak Frites one afternoon as a friend and I were looking for something to satisfy our hunger. We noticed a menu board outside boasting “$8.95 burger and beer at the bar,” looked at each other, walked right, sat at the bar and ordered that incredible meal deal.

Don’t go running over there expecting the $9 incredible bargain. A restaurant spokesperson explained that the restaurant was loosing money on that offer, as they charge $7 for just the beer,

That burger, fries and brew is now a bit pricier but still a bargain at $10.95 if you sit at the bar, and will be offered through the end of December from 11:30 am until 7 pm along with a draft of Raderberger (a German white beer)

At other times (or sitting at a table) that same 9-ounce juicy certified angus burger, topped with lettuce, tomato, Applewood smoked bacon and cheese, served with fries is $15 sans beer.

Their steak sandwich ($17) also hits the spot. It’s cooked-to-your liking steak topped with gruyere and caramelized onions and served with those delicious fries.

Both are good, but I prefer the juicy burger.
