| - After running to Airdrie for dress alterations, my girlfriend, her sister and I were looking for a place for some dinner. A co-worker of ours (Darlene) lives in Airdrie so we stopped to check out her new place and discussed where we should head for dinner. She mentioned Paul's Pizza and Steakhouse along with other places but we decided to go with what she mentioned first. It was about 6:30PM when we arrived at Paul's. We went into the lounge area and my first impression was it reminded me kind of like the show Cheers...where locals meet to drink, relax, chat and have fun.
There were a couple of booths free, so we snagged one. The waitress noticed us right away so she approached us and apologized right off the bat because she was the only server and there was a good amount of people to keep her fairly busy. After waiting a bit, she gave us menus. I found there was a good selection of lounge food, the typical wings, pizza, burgers, nachos steaks...
I decided to go with the full order Veal Cutlets with french fries, my girlfriend went with the steak sandwich with garden salad and balsamic, her sister went with the Chef's Special Sirloin and Darlene went with the steak sandwich with caesar salad.
The VC and Chef's Special Sirloin both came with soup or salad to start. We both got the soup of the day which was mushroom. When the soup arrived, it was...different. When I think of mushroom soup, I think of it as white and this wasn't white but a beef broth color. It was a bit salty but still good. When the main courses arrived they looked great! My VC was covered in gravy with a nice portion of fries and a side of vegetables with some nice sauce on them. The VC was breaded, grilled and tasted pretty good! The steak sandwiches looked like regular steak sandwiches. I had a taste and the meat was juicy and tender. Lastly, the Chef's Special Sirloin was topped with mushrooms and came with spaghetti and boy did that plate look full. We figured it would be a small side of spaghetti but it covered half the plate! It looked sooo good.
All in all, we found our meals to be filling and deliicious. Service was OK but we understand because she was the only server taking care of the whole lounge.
I like places like this that have that homey feeling with homemade recipes. I will definitely return to try something else on the menu!!
