Lewis' Bar & Grill

To quote Tool, this place is the way, the truth, and the light.  I go about once a week to Lewis'.  The food is consistently good.  I recommend the OJ and Vodka, and the wings.  One note- do not order any of the specials.  Paradoxically, the specials are usually the worst offerings.  Also the Keno guy in the front bar is a real SOB.  The numbers played always come out the round after you stop playing.

This place is a dump, a dive, a joint, a Mecca for drunks and gambling addicts. When we went in the front door I immediately recognized the odor of cheap disinfectant and day-old barf, where someone had upchucked near the front door. To the right were decent looking tables but that room was dark, apparently not open.
Going into the bar on the left I noticed an older guy on a stool in sort of a wooden cage with a sturdy door that could be closed tight. Apparently he was some sort of cashier, who stayed protected in this wooden cage, probably with a baseball bat or shotgun within easy reach for someone not wanting to pay his/her check. I was in a good mood so I said, "Hi" to the guy. In return I got the most rude stare, as if to say, "What the f... are you doing in here?" He reminded me of a "screw" in an old prison movie.
My wife and I managed to grope our way into this extremely dark, probably dirty place and gave our order to a pleasant waitress. The wife had the wedge salad and finished it all, liking it very much. I ordered the Texas Burger and proceeded to eat one of the best burgers I've had in 9 states and 3 foreign countries. The onion rings were very good but a little greasy for me.
Next time I want a real burger I'll call for pick up and either hold my breath or hope the front door area is cleaner and smells better. I would never bring my kids in there.

Grew up in Norwood, but have only been here twice (both within the past year) and both times, I just had drinks so I can't judge their grub. As far as drinks, I loaded up on OVC's, freshly squeezed orange juice, 'nuff said. Next time I go in, I'll make sure to try the Lewis burger (Along with a healthy amount of OVC).
