So last night after walking back from the fireworks in the rain, we went back into the building that housed the theater, and parking garage we went to. Right across from the movie box office was a place called Lucky Strike Lanes which at first glance to me looked like an OTB, billiards, bar kind of place. Well it turned out to be a super high scale bowling alley, billiards, bar, restaurant kind of place. Tom was intrigued and went inside to use the bathroom and check out a menu. He came back and said the place was cool and maybe we should go in there for dinner.
So we go in and the music is loud, but I guess not too loud we were able to talk to each other. The booths are huge and have a big circular condiment tray with all kinds of above average condiments on it like Grey Poupon and Green Tabasco. Needless to say I was already impressed. I ordered a Mr. Pibb and started looking at the menu. There was all kinds of those "fun" bar foods, like fancy chicken skewers, wings, and nachos.
I settled on a Blue Cheese and Onion burger, while Jennifer ordered a straight up cheese burger, and Tom had a flank steak sandwich. My burger came on a toasted bun with lots of crumbled blue cheese and caramelized onions on top. On the side was lots of fresh lettuce, onion, and big pickle slices. I threw those on and sans ketchup and mustard took a big bite. It was amazing, the caramelized onions combined with the blue cheese made for one of the best burgers I ever had. Jennifer who just walked in here to see what I was typing agreed about her burger. Tom also said his sandwich was very good, it had a roasted garlic mayo and arugala instead of just regular lettuce.
So check out the Lucky Strike website, and if you live near one go, it's really good, really fun, and surprisingly affordable if you can resist the temptation of their drinks. Which Tom couldn't he had some lemon martini and something called a Kingpin which tasted sort of like a jolly rancher. Either way it's good food and a good time.
