| - I was back from vacation less than 24 hours and looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat. Since I had just returned home, I had nothing to really eat and the thought of cooking was exhausting. I looked through my Yelp bookmarks and Applewood Smoke Burger Company caught my eye. A burger sounded really good. I checked out the menu and thought, "man, some wings would go really good with a burger" but I didn't see them on the menu online. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers I quickly discovered that yes, they do in fact have wings. Sold!
I have to thank my fellow Yelpers again for letting me know that Applewood Smoke Burger Company is not a storefront but is a food counter in the back of Park Place Pub. After I parked and walked up to Park Place Pub, I could see the burger menu posted in the window. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it.
I made my way to the counter and placed my order to go. I started with some wings (Sweet Chipotle Dust). I had been eyeing up the Bleu Fries (fries with bacon and bleu cheese) but didn't necessarily want a full order. So I ordered up a BYOBurger and asked if I could upgrade my side of fries to the Bleu Fries - this was not a problem. I kept my burger order simple with cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo and ketchup. They had a few other orders ahead of mine but the Penguins playoff game was about to start so I had no problem waiting at the bar with a beer while I waited for my to-go order. The service was helpful and friendly (and patient as I couldn't make up my mind on my burger choice). The girl who took my order said she would bring out my order to me when it was ready. I think I was still out of there within 15 minutes and my entire order was under $20. Even the Park Place Pub bartender was friendly and nice.
That could have been the longest 20 minute drive home ever. I put the food in my trunk hoping I wouldn't be tortured with the smell. That didn't work so well. When I finally arrived home, I tore into those wings something fierce. That Sweet Chipotle Dust (a dry rub) had the perfect amount of sweet and heat for me (i.e. not too much of either but the right amount of both). The side of Bleu Fries was just the right size (and covered with a surprising about of cheese and bacon). And that burger...well, let's just say it probably didn't really need anything on it. The bun was toasted and the burger was cooked a nice medium as ordered. I may have chewed it, I may have swallowed it whole. I don't really remember because after that first bite I was on a cloud in burger heaven.
I think it's safe to say I'll be back another time to eat in and catch another game. Park Place Pub is a very welcoming place and a nice home for Applewood Smoke Burger Company.
