Restaurant review: Moonrunners Saloon
Out & About has covered Moonrunners Saloon recently because of their appearance on the Spike TV show "Bar Rescue," but now that the hype has died down, we decided to pay the relaunched restaurant a visit.
Posted — UpdatedMy Southwestern Burger, topped with bacon, Monterey Jack cheese and onion rings, was actually pretty good. After having less-than-average experiences at Characters Quarters, I was a little hesitant to try the restaurant again in its new form, but I was pleasantly surprised. The kaiser roll the burger was served on was toasted, which prevented it from becoming a soggy mess. The burger had a good flavor and was cooked well-done like I had ordered, while still remaining juicy.
My only complaint with the burger was the greasiness. Yes, I know. It's a burger, and there's going to be grease. But with the bacon and fried onion rings together, there was a lot. I think absorbing some of that grease with paper towels before putting the bacon and onions on the burger would have helped.
My fiance scarfed down his Smokehouse BLT Burger and said he liked the barbeque sauce, so it looked like his was good as well. My side salad came out early as an appetizer and was a pretty good size. The fries my fiance got on the side were crispy and yummy, but perhaps a bit too salty (after they were all gone a little pile of salt still remained).
We also ordered the brownie sundae for dessert. The classic combo of warm brownie, creamy vanilla ice cream and whipped cream topped with a cherry and chocolate sauce was a hit. The brownie was perfectly gooey and it all melted in your mouth.
