| - We stopped by Mario's South Side Saloon tonight. We went during Happy Hour, so the bar area was a bit crowded and noisy. Lively music was playing at a high volume and the Penguins game was playing on the large TV's. Once we were seated at the only empty booth, a server came over to our table and pleasantly greeted us. She smiled as she provided each of us with two menus, telling us that one of the menus was for Happy Hour.
Since many appetizers were only $5, we decided to start with the cheese curds. A nice portion arrived quickly and was accompanied by a small container of ranch dressing. The curds were served in a small cast iron skillet and were garnished with fresh cheese shavings. They were quite good. We both ordered the steak salad, which was large and flavorful. The salads were topped with a large amount of steak, along with crispy fries, cheese, tomatoes, eggs, and sauteed onions and peppers. A large piece of garlic bread was served on top of the salad.
Overall, we had a great visit tonight. The food was great and the service was very good. We'll most likely be stopping here again in the future.
