Wanting
to “get out of the house,” my parents drove from Tiffin
After
discussing the cruise that we had selected and watching the Browns dispatch the
Chargers, it was time for dinner. We
opted for a nearby neighborhood option, Liberty Tavern, at the crossroads of
downtown Powell. I’ve been there a number
of times and wrote an earlier review (December 2010). The food is always good, the staff is
pleasant, and the mood is welcoming.
It
was kind of a lazy Sunday evening with diners and bar mavens watching football
on the several screens located throughout the space. Whereas you could clearly hear the announcers
of one of the games, it was not at all distracting or annoying. The staff, too, was laid back as they served
their patrons.
Although
I was tempted by the Cajun Mac and Cheese (Cajun spiced rock shrimp and bay scallops with tomatoes and scallions in
parmesan cream tossed with pasta shells), I settled upon the Stuffed Black and
Bleu Burger ($11.00).
The nice sized burger was, in fact, stuffed with
bacon, caramelized onion, and bleu cheese, then blackened and served on a
brioche bun with Tabasco
Served with lettuce and tomatoes, the sandwich was definitely
a big bite…and a bit messy with cheese and onions oozing out from the middle of
the burger. My only disappointment with
the sandwich was the rather large chunks of onion that had been stuffed into
the hamburger. It was, however, prepared
to my specifications and blackened very nicely.
The Tabasco Tabasco
One other non-dining criticism was being seated in
front of the front door when other tables were available. As patrons entered or exited the building,
they let in the cold, moist air. We
could have moved, but chose to stay there…so we don’t have much room to
complain, right?
Michelle was our server and she kept our drinks full
and quickly resolved the issue of my mother not receiving the sweet potato
fries she had ordered.
Powell
has a number of casual dining options and Liberty Tavern has never
disappointed. If you’re up in my neck of
the woods, I recommend you stop by and give it a try!
