  • I stopped by here this past Thursday night with my wife for dinner. We had been by Rum Runners a number of times before and had always considered stopping but never really had. So whenever I saw that Rum Runners was in the Enjoy book we decided that we had to go. The inside of this place is absolutely massive and I was able to see a huge bar area before heading into the dining room. The dining room actually ended up reminding me of the North Park Lounges with the huge number of TV's displaying all sorts of sports and then the ads that were wrapped on the tables. So I ended up being only midly surprised whenever I opened my menu and saw that they were a member of the NPL group. Besides all of the sports bar like items in the dining room they also had some barrells on the walls which I believe were supposed to be rum barrels in homage to their name. For dinner my wife and I decided to start off our meal by splitting the Bavarian Pretzel Sticks as an appetizer. We were under the assumption that since it was happy hour that they would be $5 since it was still during happy hour. Instead they were full price which I only found out later whenever I asked about happy hour prices in the dining room. The pretzel sticks ended up being quite good as the outside of them were covered in salt and had that nice tougher outer layer while the inside was soft and doughy. What really made these good though was the homemade beer cheese which I could have eaten on pretty much anything. In the end I thought that the pretzel sticks were a bit overpriced for what you got ($8 for 3 pretzel sticks and the beer cheese and honey mustard dipping sauces), neither my wife nor I were not sad that we ordered them. Then for my dinner entree I decided on ordering the Horseradish Pork chop. The pork chop was an 8 oz chop and came with cheddar mashed potatoes and green beans and a salad to start. As is always the case whenever I order pork out, I was concerned about the kitchen overcooking it. I think that more restaurants need to realize that pork can be pink as long as it hits a certain temperature. The salad ended up coming before the meal and was a decent salad with the most memorable part of it being the croutons which seemed like homemade cornbread croutons. Whenever my entree came my fears were realized as my pork chop was very well done and tough. It was a shame too as I really loved the horseradish crust that was on it. The cheddar mashed potatoes were similarly a letdown as while they were creamy, I didn't really get any cheddar taste out of them. For me they should have just been called mashed potatoes while noting that some cheddar was added to them. Last but not least was the green beans which were actually quite good. I normally am a fan of my green beans being a little crunchier and while these were definitely on the softer side, I still really enjoyed them. The bottom line for me is that I might head back here again in the future. If there is a next time I will be sure to sit in the bar area to get those happy hour specials and I hope that their food is able to live up to its potential.
