If you spend as much time in a pool hall as I do your going to end up eating there too. I know it can range from hot dogs to linguini so lets hear it.

Here are mine:

Best
Twains in Decatur GA: A great menu ranging from really good burgers to an excellent greek salad platter with hummus and kalmetta olives.

Hollywood Billiards: Pricey but a very, very good on site restaurant. People actually go there for the food and do not play pool at all.

The Pool Rooms in Marietta and Gwynett: they have a trained chef and a very good menu that includes, steaks, pasta and very good salads. It is also very reasonably priced. You can get a good NY strip steak with a baked potato, salad and vegetable for 9.95!

Worst

Hands down this has to be Amsterdam Billiards in NYC: For a high end pool hall they really have a horrible menu. If a premade, possible not exactly fresh sandwich and stale torita chips with a tiny cup of salsa is what you crave, then great! To their defense they have no kitchen and really are not equipped for food service, but I think they could do better. It just makes it hard when you are stuck there all day for a tournament. Perhaps it has changed since I was there last but I don't think so?

Hard Times in Bellflower:
They have a kitchen, of sorts, but serve all that nasty prefabbed cheap junk. I'd hate to be stuck there all day, and there is little alternatives near by.

House of Billiards, Sherman Oaks:
Nachos and Hot Dogs do not a menu make...
considering the area and clientele like Hollywood Billiards a restaurant upgrade could bring in a lot more people...
 
I liked the food at:
Hollywood Billiards, Hollywood,CA
JimBob`s in Gulfport, Mississippi
 
Snookers in R.I. has to one of the best.
How many pool halls can you order a grilled chicken salad?

Worst food at a pool hall for me now goes to Breakers Billiards in Mobile! All they had were $15 rib plates for and Totinos frozen pizzas, both fresh from the microwave.

I assume it's the same today, but Airway Billiards in Dayton, OH had a full kitchen and menu attracting local business personnel to eat there for lunch without playing pool.

Actually quite a few down here but what is more rare are the ones that know there are other lettuces out there besides iceberg.

Again, the before mentioned Poolrooms, do an excellent Caesar Salad with grilled chicken or if you prefer, fried.

:) They are very rare in this area but the food is very good at Snookers. Homemade meatballs too!

Damn, I'm getting hungry...

Actually, I played at Snookers a while ago for a NEWT stop. I remember it being a fun room with good food. Does Nicole Mancini ever come any more or did she quit completley?

I haven't seen her in quite some time. She was a real good player and I honestly have no idea if she is still playing. She usually played in the Joss events but the last few in the area, she has been absent from. Not a clue :confused:

Beer

Our Pool Room in my Community Recreation Center Reopens Next Monday as it has been Closed, :mad: Since LATE APRIL for Renovation of the 30 Lane Bowling Alley. In the complex we have a Resturant, most Breakfasts are like $2.95, and you can get a Cold Beer for $1.40. More excited about the Rooms Reopening, than the Resturant.... ;)
 
California Billiard Club They serve rice there, the only pool hall I have ever been to that does so. You can have spam, hambuger bits, hot dogs and a few other things, all with rice and soy sauce!!
 
Columbia Billiard Center - Missouri

My vote has to go for The Columbia Billiard Center in Columbia, MO.
They have a complete breakfast, lunch & dinner menu.
They also serve the best burger I've had - The Hustler.
Great variety of large salads & home made soups.
They have home/hand made malts, shakes & great desserts.
Great service from college kids who know what their doing.

#2 would have to be The Break in Cahokia, IL.
But only during a tournament or big match.
They serve a great/huge Rib Eye, char-broiled w/ baked potato & nice salad.

Gotta Go, Gettin Hungry!

Babineau's in Raleigh, NC. Paul's wife handles the cooking, and as someone else commented on a room, there are non-pool players who go there just for the food.
(Great people there as well)
 
We've actually got a great menu here at Players in Columbus, Georgia: appetisers, salads, entrees (including burgers, steaks, wings), desserts, and a kids menu.
 
Metro Sports in PHX AZ....

Never personally tasted the food, but looked at the Menu before, and watched the Food as it comes out of the Kitchen. Looks like Good Food, for a Fair Price..... :p
 
Just give me a place to sit.

There are many places that have good food. The places I seem to like the most are the places that have a separate eating area. I am not a big fan of the food on the chest high circle table right next to the pool table set up…

The worst is Clicks. They offer up only the quick deep fried food. They never seem to change the oil, and it gives off the worst smell…It’s cooked right at the bar, right next to the tables….
