  • Good news, bad news. Good news is that Triple Play is BACK! Bad news is that it's not QUITE the same Triple Play that I remember. When I learned months ago that the Triple Play on Oakey and Decatur had closed, I was heartbroken. GONE was a great, smoky Vegas bar with beer by the pitcher. GONE was a pretty tasty cheesesteak. And, worst of all, GONE was the best club sandwich I have ever eaten. But then I learned through Yelp that -- like the phoenix -- Triple Play had risen from the ashes and had been rechristened as "Triple Play American Grill." It's taken us some time, but my husband and I stopped by the new location today for lunch. And while the ambiance leaves a little to be desired, it's still the same great food that I love, even if the portions are a little smaller than I remember. (And no pizzas or ostrich burgers, old timers.) Of course I ordered the club sandwich. And while it tasted as good as ever, it seemed a bit small. (Maybe that's just a false memory, because I still ended up taking home half the sandwich like I used to do.) The steak fries tasted the same, but that portion seemed a bit skimpy, too. My husband had the patty melt with curly fries. Same great sandwich; same great fries. But, once again, the portion seemed a little smaller than before. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but we were the only ones in the small, brightly lit place. How I miss the days of waiting for a booth in the darkened back room on Decatur! But this is now the Triple Play AMERICAN Grill, and you can sure tell by the decor. (All I can say is, USA! USA!) We didn't order drinks from the adjacent Boodles Tavern, so I'm not sure if they offer beer by the pitcher. And we didn't order a cheesesteak, although that seems to be a popular item, if the menu is any indication. (Lots of different versions are available, and the restaurant's branding proclaims itself Home of "THE CHEESESTEAK.") But our food was great, as expected. I just miss the smoky goodness (and tiny beer glasses) of the original Triple Play. I'm sure I'll be back; I just need to move into the future and remember the past with fondness. I'm glad the reincarnated Triple Play exists. But I still miss you, old-school Triple Play. (Sad tear. And ... scene.)
