Although this restaurant was not our original list of 15 restaurants, it opened since we started, and we decided to do it as a bonus blog. This restaurant is located in the Town and Country shopping center, in the former location of Dublin Pub and D’Arcy’s Pint. Boulevard Tap & Grill has done a great job of remodeling and upgrading the interior of the restaurant. The former banquet room has been completely upgraded into a game room, which provides an open area that offers games as well as the full-service restaurant. We definitely recommend this game room.
As for the shoe, we had a tale of two horseshoes. One of our shoes was served with cold fries. The cheese sauce heated them up somewhat, but they didn’t have any crunch. They seemed to be old fries that just needed to be served. The other shoe was served with fresh fries, making the experience much more enjoyable. We decided to try the pot roast horseshoe because it had been highly recommended. Even though the meat had good flavor, it just didn’t mesh with the other components of the horseshoe. The best part was the cheese sauce, and we rated it as one of the better that we’ve had. It tasted similar to Mexican queso.
Our out-of-town friend Holly joined us in this quest, and it was her first experience with the Springfield horseshoe tradition. She wanted to share this venture with the most knowledgeable horseshoe connoisseurs that she knows (and that was only us). Holly ordered the Philly cheese steak shoe, and she loved it. We both took a bite and determined that it was what we should have ordered. Since this restaurant is new, we can cut them some slack. However, it does have the potential to be a great horseshoe restaurant because of the excellent cheese sauce. With the right meat and fresh fries, it would be a total winner.
