A couple of years ago, G and I did a Public Road Restaurant Project that involved dining at every restaurant on Public Road (all 21 of them at that time). This winter, we will try all of the other restaurants in Lafayette, which together total up to a lower number than those on Public Road. We are starting with the South Boulder Road Restaurant Project. Since we are excluding fast-food restaurants and franchises (not because we don't like them but because everyone pretty much knows what the food is like in these places), our list for the SBRRP is quite short, as fast-food eateries abound in that part of town. We put the names into a jar and drew the first one tonight: Dillinger's!
Dillinger's has been in this spot on the southeast corner of SBR and Centaur Village Drive since 1991, but we had never been there even though we've lived here longer than that--we are Old Towners who tend to stick to our neighborhood, so this is helping us branch out. A friend told me she didn't think they served food! Well, this is not true, as you can see from their name, where "food" even comes before "spirits." We liked the colorful, cozy interior and the friendly staff. The menu is mostly typical bar food, but many of the dishes are made fresh, and we thought the food was tasty. G had a burger and fries and said the burger was very good. I tried the fish and chips, which came with a side salad that was fairly basic but fresh tasting. The fish was crisp and tender, the fries were good, and the prices were reasonable. We washed it down with Alaskan Amber (on tap) and finished off with churros and vanilla ice cream for dessert.
The World Series and other sporting events were on TV, and there are pool tables in the back, but it was pretty quiet on a Tuesday night between 6:30 and 8 p.m.
