Best food you've ever had at a pool hall?

Reed Pierce

I have always tried to make an excuse to go to his room--- they supposedly have a killer steak dinner.
 
Embassy Billiards, San Gabriel, CA. Its basically attached to an excellent Chinese restaurant and they serve the full menu in the pool hall as well. So my favorites like roast duck and beef chow fun are on the menu.

I don't know if this is off topic or not, but I'm interested to know what the best meals at a pool hall you've had are and where you had them!

I once saw a show on Food Network that had a bowling alley with really great organic gourmet meals that were pretty imaginative. I think this would be great at a pool hall as well!

I've never had a meal any better than McDonald's (and a lot that are way worse) at a pool hall.

The ribeye at Pradise Billiards in Corpus Christi would rival most steak houses and was $14.

Shooters in olathe,ks

They Have some of the best food i have ever had breakfast was good, the tacos were amazing.

Also Miller time billiards in davenport,Ia. Some Of the best soups and pizza around
 
Diamond Billiards Club, Chattanooga, TN. Best food of any pool room. If pool ever dies, Crockett could open up a restraunt and do just fine. I could make the drive from Nashville just to eat
 
I like the food at Hollywood Billiards, Ca and Danny K's used to have a good monte cristo. Don't know if they still have it.
 
> Best poolroom burger I've ever had came from High Pockets in Memphis. It was voted Best Burger in Memphis 3 times by the guy that writes for The Commercial Appeal. My 2nd choice would be the Barry Burger at the original Q-Masters.

The best chicken strips I've ever had were at JOB's.

I am in TOTAL agreement with Tennesseejoe,the best wings on the planet came from Starcher's. I miss the place for that reason alone,not to mention it was my fave poolroom in the world too. Now,it's a dadgum forklift rental business. Tommy D.

Ok, I'll bite. (just a littletongue in cheek there :grin: )

Snookers up in Providence, RI. Awesome pool room, has some of the best ambiance of any room I've been in. But what makes it truly special is the touch that Regina Goulding gives it by running the kitchen and making sure that there is fresh Italian food from scratch always available. If you're ever there for a tournament, or just in town on business, stop by anfd try the meatballs...or ANYTHING for that matter. It's awesome.

Another room I have to give credit for incredible food to is Diamond Billiard Club in Chattanooga, TN. Davey Crockett has a special made from scratch every day. (anything from chicken and dumplings, to lasagna, to meatloaf, to brisket, you name it he's cooked it for the special) Davey is a most deffinite foodie, so when he has one of his specials go out of his kitchen door, it needs to meet his expectations of what good food is. I"ve never been dissapointed in the results.

stuffed pizza breadstix with a big ol cup of nacho cheese! $3.00 at the Rhino Room in Kokomo Indiana. its a good pool room, but I have to admit, sometimes I am more excited about eating than playing pool when I walk in, lol.

i was thinking more of blow your socks off quality food (original, eclectic, organic, gourmet, regional) rather than a pizza roll dipped in nacho cheese, lol!

Although that certainly does sound delicious :D
 
Sharkeys in Raleigh. Voted the best burger in town somethin' like four outta five years, now.
 
these are far from traditional, they make em right there, and its more like an open faced stromboli than a pizza roll. as for organic, I guess I dont eat any healthy food at all, lol, so I would not know what that is.
 
I'll throw in one more plug for my home room...Danny K's in Orange, Ca. They have a pretty varied menu. Salads, Chili, Sandwiches and Burgers, Mexican Food...all of it is good and reasonably priced.
