We stopped in for our first time tonight at around 11:30pm.
We didnt know they offered karaoke, and were surprised when we got out of the car and two customers sitting outside asked "Are you here for Karaoke?"
We went in, ordered quickly (I think it may have been Ericka who took our order and she could not have been faster or nicer than she was) and were invited to sit and listen to Karaoke while we waited for our food. Then she brought us paper plates and cups and straws and it just got better from there!
The joint had about 6 regulars there, all of whom took turns cycling through song choices on their Karaoke stage while the night's DJ (geez Im sorry I cant remember his name but he was WONDERFUL) ran things smoothly from a laptop. The lyrics were broadcast on multiple tvs throughout the restaurant so that everyone could sing along, whether on stage or in the audience.
I had SO MUCH FUN! I hadnt enjoyed myself like that in three years so I left there with a smile plastered ear to ear on my face.
We will likely be returning tomorrow (Thursday) night for their comedy and karaoke evening and I couldn't be more excited!
I want to show you pictures of our food but there are none. Know why? Because the very scent upon arriving at our table was so intoxicating and the sight of that hot delicious melty cheese and delicately crispy, pillowy crust was just irresistible. We HAD to gorge ourselves and there was no time for pictures!
I had a blast stuffing my face and wiggling around in my chair to the good classic rock tunes blasting from the speakers.
We both felt wanted, appreciated, welcomed and like we fit in. I just felt *at home* here the moment we walked in and that has never happened anywhere else in this city other than Hamburger Mary's. It was a wonderful feeling. Even two and a half hours later, I am still sitting here basking in the warm fuzzies I got just from being accepted into their family of regulars.
Also, George, one of the owners, was there tonight and we got to meet him. He is WONDERFUL. The vibe of his tribe definitely takes its cues from who George is as a person. Warm, inviting, friendly, fun, gregarious, loving, accepting, welcoming, ... yeah just a joy to be around!
I cant wait to go back. I hope when I do, I see you there too!
