| - I usually order the hot dog which is something like 3/4 lb. The mini corn dogs, which are bite-sized, hence the title, are a good finger-food appetizer. The fries are a bit of a disappointment in my mind however. I am not a fan of crinkle-cut fries, which is how the Laurel serves them, because the crinkles keep the heat in and when you pop them in your mouth they are SCALDING hot. They only taste good if you leave them to cool down for like 20-30 minutes. They have a lot of sandwiches, which I don't order because I just don't order sandwiches, but I have heard they are decent. The burgers, though small, are pretty good, but the Reubens are awful. Usually my dad orders a Bleu Cheese Reuben, but lately he just isn't a fan anymore. He says they don't make them like they used to. So one day we went there, and he orders Buffalo wings instead of his usual BC Reuben, right? Well not to elaborate but I had a wing and they were horrible. The Laurel has definitely been on a steady decline in service and taste since Gates and Brovi showed up down the road.
Some good points to The Laurel, though: they're drinks are really well made, they pride themselves on that, being a bar, and they have a game room with a pool table and dartboard when you walk in via the lot entrance and TVs everywhere, so really, the only good business they get anymore is on big game nights. I personally do like this place over Gates and Brovi, but The Laurel just isn't what it used to be, and I expect them to peter out in a couple of years.
