551 West

Yesterday after CrossFit I went to lunch with Grimm. As you probably have read several times on my blog every month we go to a different restaurant that we haven’t been to and try their food. It is a lot of fun and I look forward to it every month. We did skip a bunch of months when I went dayside at work but now that I have a new job we can get back at it again.

Yesterday we went to a new to both of us place called 551 West. It is in the city of Lancaster. If you live around here and haven’t heard of it the building used to be Kegel’s Seafood Restaurant. I guess they opened within the year.

I didn’t take many picture but this place is a cute bar that also has a couple of dining areas. They have a TON of beers, both draft and bottle. Definitely a place to keep in mind for a bar crawl. {even though it is on the other side of town of most bars in Lancaster}

So anyways back to the food right?! Right!

I got the Turkey Club. It had turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard on the side. I was really happy when I saw they had Sweet Potato Fries {They weren’t listed online so it was a great surprise}. It was SOOO GOOD! I only ate half of the sandwich and saved the other half for dinner at work. I think it is funny because before I would’ve NEVER ate bacon on anything and look at me now I want it all the time. Funny how things change huh? haha. The sweet potato fries were good the only thing I wish they would’ve said is that they put brown sugar and maple syrup on them. I mean don’t get me wrong they were delicious and I’ll take that extra stuff any day but I probably would’ve got it without because I wasn’t really in a SWEET SWEET mood.

Grimm got the bacon bbq burger. Let me first explain to you that Grimm gets a burger every time we go out. I mean when we look at menus online of places to go we look for burgers just to make sure there will be something he likes on it. haha. So when he said ‘This is one of the best burgers I ever had’ I was really surprised. He said it was great. I might have to get a burger next time I go there. Side Note: Their feature burger has peanut butter and jalapeños on it! I would never think to put PB on a burger but now that you say it, it sounds good to me! He also got the regular fries that I stole one and they were like real cut yummy fries! This place is just awesome!

If you live in Lancaster you probably should go just saying!

After lunch I had a little bit of time to run some errands before I had to be at work.

Post Office: Fail. It was presidents Day come on now Danielle.

Party City: Great! I got Hunter a little Frisbee and some Happy Birthday hats for his birthday tomorrow. I told my mom the moment she walks in the door tomorrow she MUST put one on and keep it on her head all day. Its only fair that Hunter has a fun birthday too right?!

When I got out of Party City I noticed this: { Don’t mind the dirty car }

Guess Eric finally blew off. haha. Must get him replaced soon!

Questions: Have you been to a good restaurant lately? Do you celebrate your dogs birthdays? Do you have the stick figures on the back of your car?
