So we were down in Lewiston/Clarkson last weekend and trying to figure out where to go for lunch. Sitting in Starbucks I used hubby's smarter then me phone to peruse Urbanspoon to find someplace we hadn't been before and would be different.
Came across an entry for the Strike & Spare Bar & Grill that talked about their giant turkey sandwich. At the mention of turkey, hubby's eyes lit up as he loves him his turkey sandwiches. So it was decided. We punched in the address in the GPS and off we went.
As you can probably guess from the name, the Strike & Spare is attached to the local bowling alley. We walked in and went AHHHHHHH!!!!!:
It was that nice late 60s, early 70s lounge decor and feel with the sounds of balls hitting pins in the background. It wasn't too dark and nice and cool. Found our selves a table and sat. Perused the little snacks/drinks menu and waited for the waitress:
Waitress brought our menus and we ordered ice tea while we looked things over. Hubby quickly decided on the giant turkey sandwich with fries and the scoop of dressing:
I had a harder time as I didn't want a salad and really didn't want to have a burger without the bun. I eventually settled for the nachos grande without meat:
Most of the appetizers and entrees were either breaded, battered or served on wheat of some sort so my options were limited.
I tried the turkey in his sandwich and oh yum! It was almost as good as mine (just as moist as mine but I inject my turkeys with wine or fruit juice for a little added flavor). I kept snagging bits of turkey until hubby complained that he wasn't going to have any for himself LOL!
My nachos were quite tasty, topped with real cheese, not some kind of cheese sauce, the salsa was just spicy enough for me and the guac was flavorful. The portions were also huge (hubby had gotten the whole sandwich) and while he made a brave attempt, couldn't quite finish it. We both ended up taking the leftovers home in to go boxes to be noshed on later that evening.
Will we go back, oh yes. Hubby was told by a friend their chicken noodle soup is as good as their turkey sandwiches and I want to try their burgers (sans buns of course). I don't have a problem with changing up orders after the first visit to a new place.
They also have a coffee shop/diner attached to the bowling alley I want to try on another trip down tot he valley. I also want to go down some weekend and spend a few hours bowling, it has been way to long and bowling and a great lunch is too hard to pass up.
The lemons in our ice tea were skewered with little plastic swords and I simply had to get a picture of them:
