Greetings! from The Lucky Monk

This past Friday I went to The Lucky Monk.

I made plans with a friend, Mark to meet for lunch at The Lucky Monk.  They have proven bar favorites, and some non-traditional items.  The most interesting items to me were the pizza and the burgers. Though I have to say some of the appetizers look very tasty. We decided to get two meals and split them.  We went with the pulled pork, ordered with the loaded fries...

and a closer look at the fries...

The fries were awesome, reminiscent of Paradise Pup's Three Layer Fries.  The pulled pork was just okay.  The pork was tender, but the sandwich lacked a proper amount of sauce.  Guess I could have asked for extra sauce, but for some reason, we didn't.  We also tried the Grilled Cheese Burger.

My half of the burger...

We absolutely had to get this.  I mean, come on, it's a burger with two bacon filled grilled cheese sandwiches for the buns.  This burger was great.  

The staff was nice and it's a very clean place.  We both had children with us and it is kid-friendly.  I feel the prices are a bit on the higher end, but the portions were filling.  At some point I'll return to The Lucky Monk to sample more of their options.

Take 'er easy...
