Taste-Immediately the smell of BBQ wafted in my direction as my food was served. The Hog Heaven Mac was possibly the best mac & cheese I've ever eaten. Crunchy bacon, tender savory pork. So cheesy! and sweet barbecue danced on my tongue. And the cheese! There was a pool of cheese. It may have also been the cheesiest thing I've ever eaten!
Taste-I got the Fungus aMungus, a delicious burger covered with buttery mushrooms, blue cheese, and an au jus that made it very messy, but definitely raised the flavor profile. It was cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful. The wine and au jus were a very decadent, fancy tasting sauce. Mushrooms brought a lot of flavor, but did not overwhelm the other components. Perfectly balanced.
Atmosphere-The Painted Horse had a homey, Western feel with Southern and classic rock playing in the background. It was a bit chilly, but it was hot outside.
Atmosphere-Comfortable bar & grill atmosphere. Fairly spacious interior, but cozy enough. Well lit, but not ostentatious. Bar in the middle of the room adds to the feel. Horse and cowboy décor in bright
Service-The service was quick, friendly and efficient, which I like.
Service-Polite and friendly hostess and server. Quick with drinks and food. Prompt, timely and done well.
Value-I had quite a large serving and the price was right. My eyes bulged when I saw my big plate.
Value-Very large portions (Jess's mac and cheese could have been enough of a meal for us both). Around $35 for her giant bowl of mac and cheese and my burger and fries, plus a drink. You won't leave hungry or broke.
Uniqueness-They are definitely unique in the twists they add to favorites.
Uniqueness-Some burgers, sandwiches and entrees that cannot be found anywhere else I've seen. My burger was quite unique and their mac cannot be duplicated. Creative, fun menu.
Variety-They have a surprising variety of types of food from Asian to Southern to Mexican. Great option for those who come with others having different cravings.
Variety-Salads, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, steaks, chicken, Asian bowls. A little something for everyone. No complaints from your party, should make everyone happy. Vegetarians have a few delicious, diverse choices.
Cleanliness-All good as far as I could tell.
Cleanliness-No issues observed. Clean surfaces, tables, bar, restrooms. Older building, but not unclean. Unremarkable.
Sides/Beverages/Desserts-There is a good selection of cocktails and their sides are made in house.
Sides/Drinks/Desserts-Good sweet potato fries. Also have normal fries, chips, or slaw, all made in house. Clever, unique and fun cocktails. Big beer, wine, and cocktail menu.
Story-We couldn't find a lot of information, but they are a small business that locally sources some of the food they serve.
Story-Historic building. Modern twist on a classic steakhouse. Fairly apt description of the restaurant. Locally sourced food. Karaoke, trivia and other community events.
Presentation-The presentation was about what I'd expect, aside from my giant plate.
Presentation-I must admit, I was jealous. The mac and cheese looked so good and so huge. Not to say my burger wasn't mouth-watering. It was. I was just hoping Jess would share. And she did! Not overly fancy, but the food speaks for itself.
Definitely visit the Painted Horse and get some mac and cheese!
