Golden West Cafe

This is my first time here at Golden West Cafe. I like how it has a decent choice of beer. There's also a (free) pinball machine near the back, past the bar. While you can avoid a long wait by coming early, you can always get a drink and play some pinball while you wait.

As of April 2013, they no longer have a pinball machine.

For one reason or another, the notes on what I had to eat and/or drink here at Golden West Cafe are incomplete. If I were to take an educated guess, then I'm guessing I had the Ring of Fire Burger.

Today I came and ordered a Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale. To eat I ordered a special called Super Bowl Steak Sandwich. By default, the steak is prepared medium rare, and that was delicious. As a preference, however, I would have liked a softer type of bread.

On a different note, the kitchen forgot to prepare a side of hashbrowns and when the server came I had asked for it. As proof that what I ordered came with a side of hashbrowns she took the sheet of paper with the list of specials. However, I had written notes on the two beers I had tried and she ran off before I could stop her. When she came back, I asked for the paper and she couldn't find it. She did supply me with a new sheet of paper. The moral of the story is "Don't ever let your server take your notes to the kitchen."

I can't seem to find any evidence as to what I ordered today, but it looks delicious.*

Today I got sweet potato fries with cinnamon sugar and the chorizo burrito. I liked having the option of getting cinnamon sugar instead of salt, though the cinnamon sugar makes the fries more fit for dessert than as an appetizer. I enjoyed the chorizo burrito. It was tasty and I love the texture of the chorizo itself. I also tried a buffalo tofu. It was spongy.

Menu Description:
Chorizo Burrito House made pork chorizo, potatoes, eggs, jack cheese,under chile sauce, salsa fresca 9.99 Sub soy chorizo 1.00

Prior to trying a buffalo tofu, I took a picture. Jordan's girlfriend Samantha looks at me and asks in a puzzled voice, "Did you just take a picture of our food?" To be clarify, she had offered me a piece several minutes earlier. Unfortunately, the picture turned out blurry and I have not included it here. Though the last time I checked, there is a picture up on the Golden West Cafe website.

Today at Golden West Cafe I had buffalo sprouts, a wrap, and a Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter.

Website Description: (as of 20200113)
Buffalo Sprouts (GF) (S) Lightly fried brussels sprouts tossed in a (S) buffalo sauce topped with bleu cheese crumbles. 8.99

The buffalo sprouts tasted slightly bitter. The bleu cheese made the dish tasty. I tried to move the sprouts around in the sauce for maximum taste. 7:36 PM ET

Jake's Steak Wrap (20140606)

Website Description:* (as of 20200113)
Jake's Steak Wrap (S) Grilled bistro filet cooked medium-rare with cheddar-jack cheese, mixed greens, sour cream and jalapeño pesto (S), wrapped in a flour tortilla. Served with a side of salsa fresca. 14.99

This wrap had a nice spiciness to it. Medium-rare is good.

*[20200113: This was the only wrap on the menu so I assume it must be the same one I ordered back on 20140606]
