| Here we are. The Game is a sports-bar in a strip mall type of place in the not-so-cute part of Juanita. Jessica and I were out driving around and had to go somewhere and figured we'd hit this place up. |
 |
| First, the Onion Fried Green Beans that we had for an appetizer. They were pretty good. Pretty tasty. Fried, yes, but good. |
 |
| Here they are. Not terribly fancy but good. Foursquare people had left a Tip about these so we got them. They are served on a bed of iceberg (not the best way to present food!!!) and served with a side of spiced up (Chipotle) ranch. Jessica and I liked them but they were a fried indulgent thing. |
 |
| Here's a close-up of what the beans look like. Again, not the iceberg. It really takes any hope of these being fancy out of the equation but again, we were at a sports-bar so what am I talking about?! |
 |
| Okay. Now. Onto the French Dip. It's a prime rib dip, even. And their #1 Seller...so my hopes were high but I would soon be very disappointed. "No better around". What a claim. They are very wrong in this claim: there are a LOT of better Prime Rib Dips around: The Keg, for example. I ordered a salad. I didn't add cheese. |
 |
| Okay, here it is served: the bread is too white and looks cheap (fancy toothpicks). It came with a side of real horseradish but this didn't save it for me. The jus looks a bit low but I'm pretty sure it was enough because the size of the sandwich was pretty small overall. The salad looks fine from afar but wasn't all that good. |
 |
| Here's a (blurry) close-up of the salad. Iceberg again, nothing great here. Pre-tossed with bleu cheese. |
 |
| Here's a close-up of the sandwich. You can see that they're not too generous with the prime rib. And the bread really does look plain and terrible. Bread = 2. Prime rib = 1, probably. |
 |
| So apparently I did order a backup jus that came rapidly. I knew from the get-go I'd be doomed with the small amount in jus #1. Again, look at that unattractive bread!! |
 |
| A close-up of the jus. Not steaming. Probably a 2 |
|
| Here's what's left of the sandwich. You can see that the meat was maybe not even medium rare. It just doesn't look good. |
Other notes:
The bread was too soft. 1 of 5.
The jus was not hot enough, not steaming, and tasted non-descript. 2 of 5.
The prime rib meat was okay but too soft and not chewy and was possibly even mushy!!! 2 of 5.
Overall this gets a 2.
It was nice that they had real horseradish.
The side salad was no good.
I wasn't impressed.
