Yay I'm a fan indeed. We never go wrong here, go early to grab a seat at this DC Ranch staple for dinner service. We first noticed it as our vet is nearby and occasionally I go running around the market area and back along Thompson peak.
Fridays & Sat are prime rib night (practically every day has a related entree special). Hubby and I shared that and the super tasty MSK Burger. PRib was mouthwateringly perfectly pink and medium on the edges as ordered, the au jus is somewhat repurposed into a jelly of sorts type of consistency so more spreadable than a dip-n-dunk traditional method. Always necessary is the dollop of horseradish that's not too pungent but gives that requisite kick. The other star of the dish is the homemade bacon blue cheesy mashed potatoes. Chunks of bacon for everyone on a fried pork diet and enuf tang from the cheese to elevate the richness of flavor and (un)fortunately caloric figures as well!
On to the burger, it felt like a 10oz patty served on a great pretzel like bun with enough density that half the burger ultimately filled me up. With Tilamook cheese and added fresh sautéed onions, keeping it simple is best. At $14 its a tasty choice gourmet burger fit for 85255 zip coders. Loved the seemingly scratch made ketchup too!
Lastly, despite seldom indulging in dessert we were convinced to try their creme brûlée. What irritates me is over torched brûlée to the point of warm to hot melted custard. But MSK does it right and the vanilla seed packed buttery consistency of their brûlée got high points as it was cool-to-cold upon taste, kudos! Gluttony is a deadly but oh so addicting sin!
MSK is a crafty joint with gourmet freshness. Also loved that were promptly seated served and out in a scosh over 30 minutes as we had a movie to catch!
