Meadowlark Kitchen

I had the pleasure of enjoying Meadowlark for dinner for a friend’s birthday.  She is very familiar with the place and goes quite often, so I was stoked when she said that is where we would be celebrating her birthday.

The place is quite small but they manage to fit a lot of people inside.  We wanted to be on the patio, but there was a private party already taking over the whole outside so we were seated right by the front door.

The table shared the Denver nuggets and the chips and dip.  Both were absolutely delicious. I really liked the dill sauce that came with the nuggets. It was the perfect amount of tangy. Brian went with the Meadowlark burger. That thing was HUGE! Oozing with cheddar sauce. It almost took over the burger, there was so much.  He said it was amazing and I don’t doubt it.  It looked phenomenal. I went with the BLT.  The best part about it was that it came loaded with candied bacon. When I say loaded, I mean loaded!  Fantastic food and drinks! The service was even better.  I felt like we were family.  The whole table was well taken care of, always refilling waters and cocktails. What a great place! I will be back for sure!

Tom’s Home Cookin’

I was beyond excited to find out that Tom’s was open on Labor Day.  They typical close on holidays, and take time off.  When they told me that they would be open, I knew I had to take my mom to try it.  Some friends of mine also love Tom’s, so we all went down to five points together.  I ordered the catfish, green beans and mac and cheese.  The catfish is always fried perfectly so that it is crispy on the outside, and flaky on the inside. They have the best fried catfish I have ever had.  That includes my aunt catching the fish out back and frying it up in Arkansas.  The green beans taste like they have been cooked in garlic sauce for days and the mac and cheese is the cheesiest ever.  This meal is so worth the drive and getting cash to pay for it. I love Tom’s and wish that it was closer to me so I can get there during the week.  They are only open Mon-Fri 11-2. So, that makes it a bit difficult to get lunch.  😦
