Hoss's Restaurant - Grove City - Chicken Strips

Typical Hoss Salad

Hoss's Steak House In Grove City, Pennsylvania has many an entree's on it's menu. I have sampled many of them. Today's offering is chicken strips, french fries, and salad bar.

I started with the salad bar that has a generous selection of items. Of course I constructed a standard salad, plus macaroni and cheese, potato wedges with hot cheese, chicken noodle soup, lemon cookies, jello, pudding, and ice cream.

Chicken And Fries

The main entree was chicken planks and french fires. The chicken strips was a generous portion and cooked to a golden brown, wasn't greasy, and lightly seasoned. The taste was very good. The french fries were also well cooked, crunchy, hot, and very good tasting.

The service was good, a sort of a help yourself plus waitress server, very friendly, and well priced at $9.99 plus tip.

The Grassy Knoll Diner awards 4 out of 5 shots to Hoss's Steak House and recommends them for lunch and dinner.

   Did the salad bar actually have mac and cheese, or was that seperate? I have never seen a salad bar with that or potato wedges, or cheese sauce. Usually it is the standard salad fair, ie: bacon bits, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, and maybe jell-o.

   Ska2682,
   Yes, the salad bar had mac and cheese,also pizza, three types of soup, chili, potato wedges, pasta, cookies, cakes, breads, ice cream, pudding, pie, fruit, jello, and other delights. It very well could be an entire meal in itself.
   Bitzky, whoops, sorry, you are also the official Moomin as well.

    You want a sign? I’ll give you a sign. Gas prices are soaring forcing a conflict with the middle east nations which will bring to a head the rise of me, the Anti-Christ.

Best Melons Contestant #2

Ernest and Ethel done and gone did it. They got themselves hitched up together. Ethel always wanted to have one of them fancy military weddings while Ernest just wanted to go and do some M-80 fishing.

It must be love for both compromised. Ethel donned her patriotic bikini showcasing her lovely melons and Ernest brought along his gun and his best boots. Second cousins are so cute...

Happy Halloween

Zombie Apocalypse Fortress - Tree Top

It's never to early to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse. Of course you stocked up with plenty of ammo, food, and other supplies but you need the perfect Zombie fortress. A fortress where you can come and go but have peace of mind that the Zombie horde cannot penetrate.

Such as a tree top house with retractable draw bridge entrance. With zombies not being able to climb or combine together, (We are using the original George Romero movie, Night Of the Living Dead type Zombies) A few solar power panels and you have electricity for heat and cooking in case you need to hole up for extended periods of time.

Is this a good choice for a Zombie fortress or is there better options out there. Remember, the outbreak can happen at any moment. In fact, it could already be in process right now. (You aren't home alone sitting in the dark right now are you?)

Happy Halloween

Bruno’s - Large Cheese Pizza

Bruno Brothers Large Cheese Pizza Southern Park Mall

The Southern Park Mall, located in Boardman, Ohio, is the home of Bruno's Pizza shop. They offer several items on their menu, but always go with the home choice. You have the option to order by the slice or the entire pie. Be prepared for a 15-20 minute wait for the entire pie but slices are usually ready after a few minutes in the oven to reheat.

We called in advance for an 18 inch New York style cheese pizza. (New York style is thin crusted pizza) It was ready when we arrived. The pizza box was sturdy, not a flimsy grease seeping out of the bottom type of box. It was well cooked, hot, and the cheese plentiful. The crust was not soggy, nor burnt. And most importantly the pizza slices were cut all the way through. The cost was $17 dollars.

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 3.25 out of 5 shots and recommends Bruno's Pizza for dinner.

House Of Blues Restaurant - Bacon Cheeseburger

Blues Menu

Walking the streets of Houston, we happened upon the House of Blues restaurant. Of course, we had to sample the food there. We entered and we were seated quite quickly. I noticed how dark it was. Ambient lighting I guess, but damn, it was dark.

The Mood

So there we are, at our table, sitting in the dark, and 20 minutes pass by until our waitress comes to our table. She asked if we were ready to place our order. Seriously! I took a look around, and there were only four tables with people at them. We were close to walking out a minute before our waitress appeared. We placed our orders reluctantly and hoped for the best.

A Blues Bacon Cheeseburger

Another 20 minutes went by and finally our order was brought to our table. (Perhaps with it being so damn dark in the restaurant the waitress couldn't find us) Sorry for the dark photo of the cheeseburger, but it was so dark.

Anyway, the burger was well cooked, the bun was fresh and not soggy, the cheese melted, and two hearty strips of cooked bacon topped the burger. Tomato, lettuce, onion, and pickles were on the side. The taste was good. Not great, not bad, but as burgers went, it was good. The french fries were plenty, cut thin, well cooked, and hot. They were good. If only the service was there, it would have been a pleasant experience. However, customer service is a big part of the dining experience.

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 2 out of 5 shots and Does Not Recommend Houston House Of Blues for dinner. The food was good, the service was lousy. there is no excuse for that.
