Restaurant Review

This weekend, A and I went to eat at the Highway 61 Roadhouse in Webster Groves. There was a production at The Rep, so the place was pretty busy. Luckily for us, the median age of Rep goers is like 1000, so there was space at the bar and we were able to sit right away.

A had a late lunch, so he ordered a sandwich, but I decided to try an entree, Stuffed Chicken. From their website: " Stuffed Chicken - A chicken breast filled with Tasso and andouille stuffing and then lightly dusted with seasoned flour, pan fried and then topped with an andouille cream sauce. $13.99" Entrees come with two B-sides, and I chose Mac and Cheese and fried okra. I'm a southern girl! A had "Pulled Pork - Just like they serve it in Memphis, tossed in our BBQ sauce, piled high a bun and topped with cole slaw. If you’re not that adventurous we can put the slaw on the side. $8.59" He decided to substitute a B-side of cream corn souffle instread of fries or slaw. All reasonable prices, and we were ready to eat!

HOLY CRAP!!!! I cannot begin to express the size of the portions. We could EASILY have split a sandwich and not even gotten an extra side. The sides come in 6" pie dishes, so that meant I got a whole chicken entree and two HUGE sides put in front of me. Easily 3 meals. While we noticed that there were delicious looking desserts that came in small sizes, there was NO way we would order one. We had a $10 coupon from our Foodie St. Louis deck of cards, so the price was very reasonable even though we each had beer.

Now, the first thing we noticed was that they have an awesome happy hour. We will definitely check it out again on a weekday. However, we'll know much better about how to order. :)
