I'll have the Usual

This time of year we have a bunch of birthdays. Right after Christmas and no money ta boot! We we have cash,but still.

So our son and sister in law celebrate Bdays at the same time. The sis in law likes Mo Brady's on (heehee) Brady St in Davenport. So hence it seems like that is the usual for this set of Birthdays.

I didn't get many good pics so this post is kind of short and to the point.

Mo Brady's is a steak house. And they do steak well. I had a sirloin and it was delish.

The mens room. Pretty clean.

A hunk of coconut shrimp. About the only food pic I got.

Birthday cake.

After checkout.

So. I apogise for the lack of pics. This was more of a private birthday get together than a reason to take a bunch of pics.

That said. Mo Brady's is a ying to the Texas Roadhouse yang. A much more quieter and older crowd tends to be at Mo's. And I like that. Everyone in the family had no complaints about the food and our two servers were most johnny on the spot.

And Mo's was packed. At least 50 people waiting for a table when we were leaving. I've never had bad food or service. Sometimes it's nice to have a low key place to have a decent steak.

Happy Birthday to my son Eric and sister in law Gail. We all had a good time. Seems our family has groupings of birthday get togethers and another one coming up at the end of March.

If you want a decent steak and a quiet atmosphere you certainly can't go wrong at Mo's.

Scotty gives it a good ole 8. One ding was the price. A wee bit on the high side,that said you can conversate here unlike The Roadhouse where ya gotta yell to talk.

Cheers!

Starting 2018 Irish style !

How in the hell have I never heard of this band?  I love rum. So I got that going for me. And I've always been a sucker for Irish music.

The Rumjacks! I gotta get out more often. Thin Lizzy, yes please. The Dropkick Murphie's, okay. U2, since Boy and New Years Day.

This Rumjack's lead singer reminds me of Guy Martin. That Guy Martin. The crazy real road racer. He ain't no sissy boy MotoGP racer. Notice both tires off the ground?

Okay. Okay Scotty simmer down. Let's not pop the wad early in January. I'll try.

I have been lurking on a Facebook Breaded Tenderloin page. I've had a pork hankering for awhile now. A few locals had gushed over Stout's Irish Pub in Clinton for their breaded tenderloins. I checked them out and they had pizza on the menu too!. Let's go.

The Rumjack's. Get it? Cheers.

Stout's

Stout's is right behind the Kohls and Walmart in Clinton. Not hard to find.

The bathroom if I could ding Stout's just for this. No urinal,just a busy knock,knock,knock stool.I can't imagine how slammed this poor bathroom is gonna be come shamrock shake day.

Evidently Stout's is part of some Iowa Tenderloin Trail and mall walk. I can't argue that.

So. How was Stout's? Sher and I went with no expectations except for the reviews we had read on some Yelp and Facebook pages.

And? Outstanding!!!!!!!!! The tenderloin I daresay better than I have ever had and I include the historic St Olaf T-loin in that pantheon.

Just look at this beauty.

It tasted every bit as good as it looked and I'm not lying. A good crunch. Moist and perfect thickness.

I am not one of those dogmatic aholes that say one can only have some certain condiment on any certain type food. I proudly put some ketchup and red onion on this bad boy. Scotty is no mustard fan and never will be.

Let us not forget we ordered a pizza too. A large sausage,pepperoni and onion.

We give the pizza a solid 8.5. Would have been a 9 for me ,but the tenderloin just out shined the pie and that's saying something coming from me.

The aftermath.

Final thoughts. We had a few other things in mind today,food wise. But dang. I think we just kicked the crap out of the start of 2018.
Sher gives the T-loin a ten and the pizza an 8.

I give a solid 9 across the board. We both agreed we would just return for the tenderloin as it is just that good. and would I lie to you all? I can't.

Stout's in Clinton is that good.

Some Irish band.Think I'll stay close for some more.

Here's to an asskickin 18!
