With owner operator Bret Hazlett hovering like an owl nearby, you'll find Maverick's specializes in one thing -- roast beef sandwiches. Sure, there might be a chicken or fish variety listed but furgitabowdit because you're here for the beef. I am almost be reminded of Fritz Mondale's "Where's the beef?" standout from the 84 election primaries because Hazlett's sandwich is a throw back to a bygone era of fast food meat and fries before they were made from reconstituted white powdered paste. Am I referring to the Arby's of old and new, perhaps, and these silce and pile sandwiches will take you back to Elton John in the period of Goodbye Yellowbrick Road and the Rocket Man. The standard set-up here consists of Roast Beef on a Kaiser roll, french fries and a chocolate shake but be sure to visit the condiments bar for pickles, peppers, BBQ and horsey sauces. Order and take your tray but don't expect even a friendly smile from the counter help because they seem to be crewing on ten-penny nails. You'll be playing to a rough crowd.
