From the creators of Thirsty Beaver comes a brand new foray into the dining scene here in Charlotte!
The original name was going to be The Even Thirstier Beaver Plus Tacos, Fajitas and Nachos but signage ordinances in Charlotte prevent such large signs - and thusly, The Tipsy Burro was birthed - I kid- I kid!
The staff here is pretty much Rock and Roll. The waitresses are bad ass (in a good hot way) that could have come straight from a music video.
The décor is the same era as the Thirsty Beaver with a pretty freakin' amazing collection of retro beer lights above the bar (Billy Dee, Billy Dee). Lots of cool, kitschy details everywhere you look. The Cheryl Tiegs poster gave me a flashback to not only my childhood bedroom but the naughty poster section in Spencer's - you know the one. The piece de resistance is the truck cutout that serves as the window into the kitchen, definitely very boss. Or maybe it's the life size rabbit head - you decide.
The menu is straight forward - pick your dish - pick your protein - add whatever you feel like.
The Nachos with Chicken were decent. The Queso Dip was tasty. Probably the best thing on the menu is the steak sizzler. Plenty of food for two people. We were actually guided away from the tacos and to the Sizzler.
I appreciate a Pabst Tall Boy or a Dos Equiis now and then but still like to see some local stuff (happy to see Sierra Nevada but not really local), but I guess it wouldn't be as divey with craft beer.
I am a fan to be sure - but our bill for two adults and two kids was a bit high - just felt like there should have been a little more value. Looks like they do have food and drink specials!
Only one entrance to the parking lot, so keep your eyes peeled or you'll shoot past it in a heartbeat.
