Mo & Sluggo's Bar And Grill

Had lunch there today, first time after hearing good things. Bought a deluxe burrito with beef steak.  It was big and hot to hold!  5 Stars for the hot food and size!  However, the steak was dried out and over cooked some other time and not when I had ordered it.  That's a big negative in my book.  Waitress was friendly and made sure I never saw the bottom of my glass!

Under new ownership & so much nicer!  Tuesday taco night is really good.  I was a little put off by having to pay for chips & salsa until they came - they give you four different salsas plus pico de gallo.  Their habanero yam salsa is definitely worth paying for!  It's super hot but you'll keep going back for more.  Their tortilla chips are mediocre which is a bummer but overall, the food is really good, the servers are great, the cocktails are good & it's definitely worth the visit.

They still have the pool table too and they added two dart boards.  This place is definitely better under the new ownership.

The new owners are kicking some serious a** on this place.  New floors, furniture and paint while still keeping it dive-y, but in the very best sense of the word.  Even the bathrooms have been redone.

Now, on to the seriously good stuff: The owners of Sassafrass have taken over the kitchen. Think high-end taqueria, or at least that's what I was told when I came in and inquired.  I'll be heading down there again in a few weeks to see what it's really about and will update then.

Drinks are strong and cheap, the beer icy cold, and the music is the perfect mix of new and classic.  

The clientele is a mix of crusty old-timers who have clearly seen it through from the beginning, the younger, hipper crowd, and business people.  Perfect for downtown.

I give it five starts because it's all going in the right direction and I see lots of hope.  I'm going to drag my friends from Reno into CC on Nevada Day and we'll definitely be hanging out for a few hours.
