What Teray Says...
So this week I continued my journey on the Paleo diet, which I am still doing I must add, so I was craving bar food so bad. Brett and I decided we might as well just drive a few minutes and head to The Lodge on Ft. Apache. Inferno Pilates is in that plaza so I always drive by it every day.
We sat in the table section to be away from the smoke. Our waitress greeted us right away and was very friendly. I was craving a flavored vodka drink with club soda so she suggested Fruit Loop vodka. That drink was amazing, I only had and needed one to be giggly. Brett got beer.
For an appetizer we chose cheese chicken quesadillas. The portion size was big and they were bar food greasy amazingness. Yes, I know that is not a real word, but I don't care. For our dinner I ordered a pastrami burger and Brett ordered a burger that had egg on it. Both were huge and delicious. I was so excited about the fries because I hadn't had them in over a month, that I ate everything on the plate.
As for dessert, we had our waitress surprise us and she brought us a huge sundae, which again we ate all of it. Brett tried to tell the waitress that I ate all of it, which was just not true. Oh, and to say that we left their full was an understatement. We were stuffed! The Lodge definitely satisfied the bar food craving I was having for my cheat meal, because of service and food I rate them a 5 out of 5.
What Brett Says...
This may come as a surprise to all of you but Teray likes to dress up and look her best, I know quite the shocker. I however am the complete opposite, I could lead a very happy life (and try to) in basketball shorts and a tshirt. I am all about comfort and relaxation, so when the opportunity arises to go out to eat somewhere that it would be acceptable to wear sweats and a tshirt I am all for it. I have to sneak these places in when Teray is both starving and exhausted...this week I did it, we went to "The Lodge" at Fort Apache and Russell.
There are a couple of them throughout town and from what I have seen having drinks at a few of them they all share the same theme, kind of a hunter's cabin meets Las Vegas. They have the split dining room and bar set up with the glass divider and video poker at the bar. The atmosphere is outdoorsy and looks like you are in the greatest bachelor pad cabin out there. There is a fully stocked bar, big screen televisions, and beers on tap. It is a pretty comfortable local spot that gives you a different feel then most cookie cutter Vegas bars. The service was also good, it wasn't amazing but then again we were at a local bar. All of our needs were met; I never had to wait for another beer and our food came out quick. Nothing was screwed up...that's what really matters in the end. It also helps that we were one of maybe two tables.
Dinner for me started with a large draft beer, decided on a Fat Tire because they were out of their advertised beer. After a long work week it was great, something about starting your weekend with an ice cold draft. Once the beer was flowing we decided to get the food rolling with a quesadilla, considering it is hard to screw up tortilla and cheese it was good. Being at a bar I decided to go big with an amazing burger. Let me tell you, it worked. Sometimes you need a burger and when you really need a burger it can be scary because there is always a chance that burger sucks. This burger did not suck at all, I kind of want to go get one right now. To round it all out we got an ice cream sundae, turns out it was made for a group party because it was huge. They did not skimp on any aspect of the meal.
Overall I think "The Lodge" is a great place to go and relax while having some drinks and food. I would be quite happy going here for a drink or ten, not sure how they would actually feel about me getting that much booze in me but I can promise you I would enjoy it. Another nice thing is that it wasn't very busy, I am over going to bars on a random night and having it be packed. Probably not the greatest place for a first date or an anniversary but every other reason would work out well.
