The Friendly Moose

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  The Friendly Moose is a hidden gem in Stallings. It's location is only a couple miles off the Matthews Exit of 74 right next to the Grand Asia Market.
  
  The food is fresh and home made including all the desserts (which most restaurants don't do these days...usually you get frozen and factory made stuff).
  
  I had one of the salads which was the "Moose House" Salad with sirloin tips and a side of blue cheese crumbles with a balsamic vinaigrette. Everything was very fresh and the meat was flavorful.
  
  My husband had the special of the day which was a prime rib sandwich with Sweet Potato fries which were dusted in brown sugar and cinnamon. Both were excellent.
  
  I especially appreciated the dessert: Peanut butter cream pie. The flavor was delicious and again tasted freshly made. As I said before was made in house but I especially was glad that it was in a 6" dish and was only $1.95. I do not want to eat a 900 calorie dessert that costs almost as much as my meal, instead I want something that satisfies my sweet tooth and is well priced. My spouse had the Key lime pie which was the same situation: small, inexpensive and delicious.
  
  Cost wise it's a bargain. I had two glasses of wine, my husband had two beers, we both had an entree and a dessert and the total was only $38 before tip. I went to a chain restaurant last week, by myself, had an appetizer and a salad and two classes of wine and paid just a little less than this... and the food was only sort of ok, not really good as this place!
  
  There is also free Wi Fi access through out the restaurant and the bar area has cell phone and iPad chargers lining the walls.
  
  The owner John, who also acted as our waiter, is from Toronto, and so if you happen to be a Canadian looking for a "home food" fix they actually have Poutine on the Menu (which for the uninitiated is a plate of french fries topped with fresh cheese curds and brown gravy... if you have never had this dish before you are missing out on a weird but very tasty culinary creation)
  
  My spouse had been here a couple times since this restaurant changed owners and had been trying to get me to stop here, but I had not gotten around to it. Wow do I wish I had listened to him earlier.
