Neek sez: We read on Tripadvisor that the buffalo burgers at this saloon were pretty good so Lex and I decided to try it out. The Two Bit Saloon has been open for 40 plus years and is conveniently located just across from the Roosevelt Arch which was great for us. First walking into the saloon, you see some people trying their luck at the gaming machines, past that is an old fashioned mirrored saloon bar with a variety of taps and premium liquor bottles. We decided to go into the dining area which had two pool tables in the center and the dining area against the walls. I loved all of the wall hangings and memorabilia. It definitely made you feel as though you were in Montana. The bartender who was also the host took our order. We ordered buffalo burgers, a chicken salad to share and two beers. The following is why I looked kind of weird on the video: I was a little hesitant about trying a buffalo burger. I mean a long time ago, my Dad had been given some buffalo meat from a friend and gave it to my Mom to cook. She didn’t know what to do with it, so when she asked my Dad (being Japanese) he said, “Make sukiyaki”. So, she did and she made it with soy sauce, sake, and saccharin! (my Dad was having issues with hypoglycemia). Ugh! My family gagged their way through dinner. My Mom blamed it on my Dad wanting her to make sukiyaki with it, he blamed it on her cooking. They got into a huge fight. She also blamed it on the buffalo meat but I think it might have been the preparation. I hadn’t tried the meat since. When Lex was filming the video, I was really scared to try the burger. Bad memories! But I said I would and when I tried it, I liked it! It was juicy, not gamey and really good. My surprised reaction on the video is true. I actually thought that the cook had made us regular beef burgers and not buffalo but it was real. No more buffalo sukiyaki! We drank the two beers and ate everything. It was delicious.
