Terry's Turf Club 4618 Eastern Ave, Cincinnti, OH

July 6, 2013

Our last stop on our DDD weekend road trip takes us to Terry's Turf Club in Cincinnati.  A phone call the night before let's us know if we want to beat the crowd we should arrive prior to 10:45 am, so we are there when they open at 11 am and there are people waiting ahead of us. 

Terry's Turf Club is small, seats 75 tops, and every neon light available is hanging and on in this establishment.  It just has a fun vibe, and fills up fast.  The check-in station is actually located outside, so from what we can see this place rocks. 


Randy starts with a $3 deviled egg- TTC Deviled Egg, made with Bearnaise, ghetto mustard, and creme fraiche,  topped with Shrimp marinated in Mango Tequila. 




Next, he tries Terry's Famous Filet Mignon Chili, with Pork Tenderloin, fresh herbs and more.  He really enjoyed it!!


Randy also has the Filet Mignon Burger with everything, including grilled onions, and the house special cheddar- from UK, infused with caramelized onion and fresh cut fries. $14.50


I ordered a burger with cheese and fresh cut fries.  A really good burger!!

A nice place to wrap up our road trip, we enjoyed everything and the service was great.
  Next visit we are sitting at the bar so we can chat with Terry and watch them cook!!









Virgil's Cafe- Bellevue, KY

July 5, 2015   #virgilscafe

The second stop on our DDD weekend road trip takes us to Virgil's Cafe  in Bellevue, Kentucky. 
A unique little spot, not at all what we were expecting,  a very nice lady who was finishing her meal gave us a little history on Virgil's and told us some of her favorites, including Sunday brunch.  She told us that all of the furnishings were refurbished and really added to the atmosphere. 


The menu was very small and we learned can change daily.  Randy started with Frog Legs, with cheddar and jalapeno hush puppies, and Pinto Gregorio. He finishes them!


For lunch he orders Andouille, with onion marmalade, and creole mustard, and house cut fries. 

 I order a Beef Hamburger with house cut fries. Good burger but a little under-done for me. 


Virgil's was an experience, the food was ok, the service was good.
  We probably wouldn't go back, but glad we gave it a shot.
