I guess I'll start this post with a somewhat funny, short story. Mike and I woke up this morning to eat a wonderful breakfast at Mustache Bill's in Barnegat Light, New Jersey. We drove for about an hour and a half and arrived there at 1:30 this afternoon(okay so it was more like a brunch). Well, much to our surprise and very hungry disappointment... they were closed. They're only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Ouch!
However, just because we didn't get to go there does not mean we didn't allow ourselves to enjoy a delicious breakfast! We found the nearest IHOP and order ourselves some omelettes and pancakes! I, of course, got the always delicious, "Katie favorite" chocolate chip pancakes on the side. I never pass those up for breakfast! SO, anyway, I won't go into any descriptions since I believe IHOP food is fairly self explanatory and most of you have probably dug into some eggs, french toast or pancakes of theirs at one point or another in your life. BUT, I do have something else to tell you all about...
Piccadilly Pub Restaurant! We ended up here all by accident after we arrived at our hotel in Foxboro, Massachusetts tonight. We weren't expecting anything out of the ordinary, really. It seemed like a very Applebee's-like place, which it was in some ways. In other ways, though, it was much more delicious.
First, they have a "beer of the week" thing where you can order a pint of that particular beer for $1.95! Whoa! I know, I know, hard to believe, but your eyes are not deceiving you. You've read correctly - $1.95 pints. They also serve you a bowl of popcorn as soon as you sit down reminiscent of the popcorn served at the Ground Round. If you're me, or if you like the popcorn there, that's amazing in itself. Now, the thing Mike and I were most amazed about were the Pub Pretzels. I know they don't sound all that interesting but hear me out. They serve you 3 soft pretzels with a side of spicy mustard to dip it in. The pretzels are really warm and the outside is perfectly crispy and salted while the inside is soft and chewy. They were unbelievably tasty. You have to try them to believe it because I'm sure right now they just sound like regular soft pretzels to you. Trust me, they were much more.
For entrees we decided to order 2 things but split them since we couldn't decide what we wanted. I went for a Caesar salad. Now hold on.. I got it with spicy, warm buffalo wings laid across it. They were the most tender ones I've had. The parmesan cheese was delicious and the croutons were superb. Mike's dish was a little bit more exciting, though. I'm glad we shared :). He ordered a Roasted Chicken on Focaccia sandwich. There were roasted red peppers and melted provolone cheese all topped off with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Everything complimented each other so well. It was quite fab!
The menu had plenty of other things to offer as well. The usual pub food - burgers, fries, mozzarella sticks, nachos - can all be found on their menu and it all sounded mouth-watering! Although it is a chain restaurant, I'd still recommend hitting it up if you're in the Massachusetts area and have the time to do so. Sorry, it seems that you can only find this place in this state.
Well, I apologize for the somewhat surprise posting, but I really thought this place was worth writing about! This is Katie saying continue to keep it tasty!
