So as you all may know, Dorian and I are so very desperate to get out of the city. Every weekend, we venture in another direction in search of that special place. While I truly want to tell you this is the worst place ever and to stay far far away, I simply can't be that selfish! As soon as we pulled in the parking lot, I felt at home. We didn't take the bike out this weekend because of the weather, but... As soon as we stepped out of the truck.... silence... absolute silence. No traffic, no sirens, nothing.. the magnificent sound of peace. Since we weren't on the bike, I had myself a cocktail. Vodka and 7up.. $3 freaking dollars!! It was mixed perfectly. Dorian had a mountain dew ( grooosssss 🤭, he loves the stuff, me, not a fan). Obviously, we started with the cheese curds! They were cooked perfectly, the batter was so interesting, in the best kind of way.... Dorian got the California Bacon Burger and I just a California. We got fries and onion rings to share. Ladies and Gents, that burger seriously was the best dang burger I've ever had.. We're talking better than Grandpa's, better than Dad's, better than my own! Holy Hannah, again, the seasoning was so interesting. I can't put my finger on it, but both the cheese curds and burger had that same interesting flavor! Dorian destroyed his... I brought half my burger home, only because I was a dork and just about vacuumed those cheese curds down. I swear to goodness; this was one of the best meals I think I've ever had. Simple, easy, no nonsense! Simple great flavor with a wonderful host! And all for under $40!! I'm sorry I didn't get pictures of the OR and fries, but my phone died. Like I said at the beginning I really do want to tell everyone this was the worst place ever...just so we can keep it for ourselves, but the lovely lady at El Paso Bar and Grill deserve for you all to hear the truth.. it's fantastic! A+ all around. We will most certainly be coming back! El Paso days here we come! Let's hope a nice property is discovered, and we can become full-time residents.
Again, I'm so sorry about the missing pictures of the OR, fries, and the large number of missing cheese curds... they were just so good!!
Thank you for a wonderful evening, El Paso...
Read moreThis is a nice spot for a burger and a beer. The place is in the basement and reminds me of a little dive bar.
The appetizers were quite good. The jalapeno poppers are real jalapenos, cream cheese and breding, not the ones with fake nacho cheese. The curds are lightly battered and absolutely delicious.
The burgers are juicy, seasoned well, and come in 1/4 or 1/2 pound. The bacon cheese was excellent and the California burger was as well.
The bear was cold and delicious. The bartender was polite and friendly. She seemed to know when I needed another beer and was quick to get us anything we needed.
I was surprised when I got my bill. I got a lot of food and drinks for my money. I highly...
Read moreWhat's not to like about this small-town (tiny-town) bar? New Glarus Spotted Cow on tap; Short-order burgers & crinkle-cut fries; Small-town prices; Friendly, no-frills service; All this, and more, in a cozy basement barroom featuring a mix of locals, sportsmen & travellers of all stripes. Don't let the motorcycles, 4x4s, farm trucks, hot rods, tractors, OHVs, and 4-wheelers or snowmobiles in the lot scare you off. Put on a smile and head down the stairs like you belong and before long, you will. Hipsters, please get your New Glarus at a gas station and take it home. Fishermen, please remove your waders outside. Everyone, please...
