The wife had won a gift card last year sometime for a newish place over in Bettendorf. Hey 25 bucks is a good start for a meal.
A musical interlude before I get going.
If this song isn't a clue. Let me explain. So we have a gift card to the Tangled Wood over in Bettendorf.
https://thetangledwood.com/
Now The Tangled Wood appears to have a rather diverse menu. Burgers,Sandwiches,BBQ and Pizza plus more.
You know me. I'm going to try the pizza. The Wife and kid aren't quite sure what they are getting.
Let's go!
Btw. The is one of those fake phony weather days where it is well above normal temps. I've seen people out in shorts and flip flops already
Supposed to snow Tuesday,I digress.
Cocktail time. The wife and I have been working too many hours.
Upon arrival.
Some type of bicycle rack and air pump.
The bathroom. Men's only and it was pretty clean for 430 pm on a Sunday afternoon mid winter. Although I did say the weather was fooling us all.
A few interior shots. While we were the fairly early it was nice and quiet. I like that compared to some boot scoot and boogie places.
The menu. Some things on there I will go back and try.
Okay. On with the food. I mean isn't this why you read this blog? I've got to say a few things right now. I tend to read alot of reviews. Whether they be good or bad it's how we play the game.Right? I mean who wants to waste money on food anymore?
I had read the yelp's and tripadvisor for The Tangled Wood. Mostly middling and underwhelming. Service and such lacking. Thoughts down page.
The food.
Moll ordered a Californian sandwich. Turkey,bacon,advado,lettuce and garlic.
Sher got the breaded tenderloin.
I got pizza(duh). A Tavern Style thin crust sausage and pepperoni.
A few pics of us sharing and caring.
The outside patio area.
The to go pizza box. I have never seen a box like this ever!
Final thoughts. I'm like you all. I want to get some value for my dining dollars. A gift certificate helped us out today.
Reading some reviews I had my doubts of this place in Bettendorf.
Let me say. I loved the Tangled Wood.
The breaded tenderloin was as good as we have had any where around here,except for maybe Breitbach's battered tenderloin. I'll go back just for a tenderloin.
Moll loved her sandwich.
The zza?
The crust was almost,almost as good as Zoey's in Marion Ia. The sausage was not QC Style ground. But similar in a way. The cheese was the surprise. A lot of it and not skimpy.
The only ding was the sauce. Needs just a little more kick to it.
Overall I am happy today with our visit to The Tangled Wood. We did see other food coming out of the kitchen that looked good too.
So. I had my doubts. The joke was on me.
Driving home. We saw this cloud. Crappy pic,but it sort of looked like an angel if you squint really hard and believe.
Thanks for tagging along today. It was a good one with the promise of warmer days,patio time,family and some live music coming our way.
Scotty.
