The peppered bacon cheddar burger with fries at the Steelhead Brewing Company in Burlingame.
There are only a handful of destination restaurants in Burlingame. Steelhead Brewing Company is one of them.
My boyfriend David and I met up with his best buddy Joe at the Steelhead Brewing Company because we were in the mood for some beer and some meat. It was a Friday night, so we were mentally preparing ourselves for a hefty wait and were surprised when we got a table right away. It was all about timing, because you will most likely have to wait for a table on a Friday or Saturday night.
I ordered the grilled chicken breast sandwich, which was served on a whole wheat bun with a slightly spiced honey mustard sauce and crispy fries. I paired it with Steelhead’s Hairy Weasel Hefeweizen, which — let’s be honest — is just fun to order. “Yeah, I’ll have the Hairy Weasel” [snickering]. The beer was light and served with lemon. It was perfection with the grilled chicken breast. The fries were yummy. I inhaled all of my fries and most of David’s.
David ordered the peppered bacon cheddar burger with smoky bacon rubbed with cracked black pepper, which he paired with the Raging Rhino Red. Another fun one to order. Joe decided to go with something big and messy. He ordered a slab of barbecued ribs, which is served with jalapeno cole slaw and garlic mashed potatoes. Joe also couldn’t resist ordering a Hairy Weasel.
We were too full for dessert that night; however, David and I have visited Steelhead on several occasions. Not only can we vouch for the excellent variety of beer and the tasty food on the menu, but Steelhead Brewery also creates a kick-ass root beer, Original Spicy Draft Rootbeer. Delicious! You don’t need ice cream with it. It’s excellent just the way it is.
