mmm. I believe each room has their own specialty.
Hard Times Billiards, Sac: best thing on the menu is a french dip, "corrupted" with cheese. The combination of lots of black pepper, lots of melted swiss cheese, roast beef, au jus, thick steak fries- it's the absolute best "dinner- and- a- show" (sitting in the bleachers watching the action).
Jointed Cue Billiards, Sac: some think it's the cheeseburgers, some argue that it's the German sausage, still others will swear that it's the homemade chilli that's only served in the winter. What they all don't know, since they stay up all night and sleep in, is that the breakfasts are the best- greasy hash browns, thick crisp bacon, toast and eggs that are never "tortured," and early in the morning, the coffee is good and fresh! : )
Family Billiards, S.F.- they have some sort of fried flauta with salsa that I always always look forward to (but have learned I can't eat a whole thing- you really need to share with a few people or suffer grease overload).
That said, the very best pool food I've ever had was at Club 8 in Amsterdam: full on meals with veggies, huge calzones, great prices, and you never ever had to leave the poolroom.
Reminds me- there once was a poolroom in S.F. that was almost directly under a freeway- huge place, lots of private, one- table rooms, and always lots of youngsters... They had a real restaurant in the middle that was very nice, if a little shi- shi (wines and steaks). Can't remember what that room was called, but I'm pretty sure it's long gone now. Anyone remember that place? It was so big it was both crowded and anonymous...
They're above average and pretty tasty in comparison to medium $$ restaurant burgers. Get all the fix-ins if you get one.
