Marty's Place, Kimberly - Wednesday March 28, 2018

We decided to try Marty’s in Kimberly on a Wednesday night.  It had been many years since we had been there.   Marty’s has been around forever.  The current owners have owned the place since January 2017 and kept the menu pretty much the same as we remembered.

   

The small bar was busy, but as others moved to their tables we were able to get some seats.  We ordered a BOFS and my new choice, a BOFP (p for press – half seltzer, half sweet).  The drinks were good and strong.  There was a nice friendly atmosphere in the bar.  As with many supper club bars, I could have sat there for several hours and enjoyed the atmosphere and conversation.

   

In true supper club fashion, our waitress came to the bar and took our food order.   She returned when our table was ready.  The salad bar was good, and they had crumbly bleu cheese which I love.  They had a superior method for serving the salad dressings in squirt bottles, avoiding the typical salad bar bucket of dressing which inevitably gets something dropped in it.    The salad bar also had cheese spread and liver pate.  A loaf of bread was served at the table.  All were good making it difficult to avoid being completely full by the time our entrees came.

I ordered the Grouper Special with browned red potatoes and Paul went with the prime rib and twice baked.  I can’t say enough about how tasty our entrees were.  The fish and beef were prepared perfectly and had great flavor.  Browning the red potatoes to give them a crispy outside was a nice variation on traditional baby reds.

 

It was surprising to us how busy Marty’s was for a Wednesday evening, but it soon became clear why that was the case.  They have excellent food and a great deal on Wednesdays and Thursdays called “2 for $28”, which is any 2 entrees under $20 are offered 2 for $28.  The total experience at Marty’s was very enjoyable.  We’ll definitely be back.
