The Cookhouse

We found the Cookhouse on a lark and have been addicted ever since! With a full menu of tasty items, there is something for every taste and appetite. The meats - ribs, steaks, chicken, pulled pork, etc, are so succulent. You don't even need a steak knife to cut the filet mignon, it is that tender! Many restaurants say that, but at Cookhouse it is true. The 'hot sauce" comes in several variations, ranging from mild to very hot. The sides are delicious and generous - beer battered onion rings, hush puppies, and other southern favorites that are rarely done well up north. I was especially impressed with the family meal. Four people for $59.95, each additional person is $14.95 I believe. You choose three meats, and get one side for every two people, everything is family style and family size portions. Included is their amazing corn bread and biscuits. I think their is also another item in the family deal. You can pick ribs twice for alittle extra, and not that you will need more food, but a bottomless salad for $1.99. The atmosphere is enjoyable, and the food accomodates many tastes - from your most refined friend or business associate who would like a filet mignon to your down home southern friend who would like some ribs, hush puppies, and food that make you want to lick the sauce off your fingers. more

My husband and I went to Cookhouse a few weeks ago with some friends from out-of-town, one of whom is a professionally trained chef. We ordered appetizers (nachos, potato skins, and buffalo wings), which were outstanding. For our main meals, we ordered a slew of bbq (ribs, brisket, chicken). Brisket, according to our chef-friend, is hard to cook to perfection. But, he said Cookhouse did just that. We will definitely be frequenting the restaurant often. They even have a frequent diner card that gives you coupons for dining with them. It doesn't get any better than that? more
