Chief's, Your Neighborhood Bar, Tall Timbers

Would you believe we went to Chief's AGAIN - we're becoming regulars!  Kind of a crazy day - we arrived just before 1 p.m.  Chief's has tacos and chili on Sunday afternoons - $5 - a great deal.  They also have live music from 4-to-7 p.m. on Sundays.  We decided to order from the menu and didn't stay long enough for music, but it's something to remember for weekends to come.

I had steamed shrimp and ordered a side of slaw - Chief's has slaw slightly reminiscent of my grandmother's creamy dressing, including the poppy seeds, and the cabbage is chopped so that it maintains crunch.  Don't you hate finely grated mushy slaw?!  You can always count on the steamed shrimp to be good and 1/2 pound is plenty for one.  Hubby had the NY strip, fries, and slaw.  I tasted two pieces of the strip steak and the flavor was great - the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare.  Honesty, Chief's has moved up in the world over the past couple of years.

Now for my nits: drinks served without cocktail napkins and food delivered to the table without cutlery in place.  Oh well, the wait staff wasn't on duty that early in the day so the bar tender did double duty for the early bird customers.  She stayed on top of it nicely and we got cutlery in a matter of seconds. 

My second vodka tonic came in a fresh glass - I'm picky about that too.  Don't give me the same glass - I relish a clean glass, fresh ice, a slice of lime, and a crisp drink.  Very nicely done!
