So I thought I would do a little review of The Elbow Room Bar and Kitchen in Bradley Beach. This is not the chain restaurant called The Elbow Room... although it is sort of like a comfort food restaurant... it isn't all Mac and Cheese like the chain restaurant... but I figured I would order their signature Macaroni and Cheese dish anyway.
I'm picky with my cheeses so I asked what cheeses they had in their Mac and Cheese beforehand... I think it was Cheddar, Jack and something else... so just regular cheeses... nothing spicy, nothing bitey... no swiss cheese or parmesan or anything like that... just regular macaroni and cheese... which I like... but at the same time... it was just kind of regular macaroni and cheese. You could make it at home if you wanted to... its just pretty ordinary Mac and Cheese... it wasn't terrible and it was a good sized portion... but it was regular Mac and Cheese for like $9. Not quite sure its worth that.
It's also a lot of food... I was very hungry so I kind of just kept eating it and then I was like "Ohh... this is a lot of cheese!" And I was starting to get kind of thirsty and kind of just like I had wayyy to much cheese.
They had different flavors of Mac and Cheese on the menu as well... but it was on the specials menu. They had Pulled Pork with Mac and cheese... It just kind of was what it was...
So for the place to be called The Elbow Room... I was expecting more Mac and Cheese options... and even though I'm a boring Mac and cheese person, I kind of wanted a more interesting Mac and Cheese. And this was just okay. I did like it better than the chain restaurant because they had some cheeses I don't like in the cheese I think. The chain just wasn't my thing... and while I wasn't overly impressed with this dish... it wasn't bad. I ate the whole thing and was like "wow that was good." But then I thought about it more and I was like "hmm... I was expecting a little more."
The atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice. It was cozy, very dark... but it was a fun place to just kind of catch up with friends. The prices were okay... although for what you're getting I guess its a little bit high when its like... meh I could have got like 3 boxes of Kraft for this price! Lol.
The service at the restaurant was good too. The girl checked to see what types of cheeses there were in the Mac and cheese. Not every restaurant would do that. The bathrooms were clean according to my friend... it was nice.
So yeah! That is everything... let me know if there is anything else to order here that I might like better or what you thought of it... or how you like your Mac and Cheese! I'd love to know. Fun night either way.
They have dessert and alcohol too... I would usually say yes get dessert... but after all that cheese I was feeling quite full. Maybe not the best thing to order if you're on a date... which I wasn't... but I was like "ohhh this is a cute date spot" and then its like "Yeah... but you'd have to poop after." so... there's that. Lol.
