It's totally got that small town, neighborhood hang out diner ambiance. When we go there, we fully expect to see Ralph Malph, Potsie Webber, Richie Cunningham, and the Fonz eating in the booth next to us.
The 5th Quarter is very family friendly with a great kids menu. It previously was a sports bar, but was recently bought out and now has a new owner that has changed the atmosphere completely.
This is what Maisy and Wilson always order--The Mini Corn Dogs and Mac-n-Cheese (The mini corn dogs are homemade, I think--but I'm not so sure about the mac-n-cheese.)
These are just sample pictures of some of our favorites. Honestly, we love a lot of things on the menu. Above is the Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled vegetables and fresh broccoli. The kids love the broccoli.
Here's Brett's hamburger with the most delicious Sweet Potato Fries! They are sprinkled with a little cinnamon and sugar--YUM! I have found that my favorite dish is probably the Chicken Fried Steak. That's what I usually order.
So it might sound like we frequent the 5th Quarter regularly. Well, we do. And one of our favorite nights to go is Friday because it's KARAOKE NIGHT! That's right--they have a stage and everything. In fact our very own Wilson has graced the stage. I'm kicking myself that I don't have pictures of it. But I wasn't expecting him to sing Karaoke that night...It was a happenin' establishment and busy night at the 5th Quarter, when we arrived after baseball practice. Wilson's first game was the next day and he was very fired up. I was a bit surprised when he asked me if we could stay so he could sing a song. I really wasn't sure if he would actually go through with it because it was so crowded that night. He just kept saying, "Nothing's keepin' me off that stage tonight!" When they called his name he got up on stage intrepidly and sang everyword in rhythm (and mostly in tune) to "Eye of The Tiger." Let's just say we were all fired up after that! It was awesome. I was in shock. It was awesome! Thank you Guitar Hero: World Tour.
So, good times at the 5th Quarter. Come on out and give it a try (and let us know if you go on Karaoke Friday Night and we will meet you there.)

That is a totally awesome karaoke story!! All of that hard work paid off and now Wilson is ready to go on a REAL world tour!
...We think Kasia likes the place because the chairs are purple.
:)
This post makes me smile :) Really any post about food is going to make me smile. But throw in that story about Wilson and I absolutely love it!
We'll have to check this place out next time we come. You know Kaid and karaoke...he's a one hit wonder. Something about a ding-a-ling...
Friday night Karaoke!!! why have i not heard of this before? We must, MUST get Chad and brett up there to Serenade us. Do you think Wilson would do an encore performance for us? I'm tingling at the idea.
Boy, we wish we could have heard Wilson sing one of my FAVORITES. Maybe he will sing it for us in a couple of months? I always love the restaurant reviews. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day . . . you are such a dear mother.
Oh, I wish I could meet you there on a Friday night...I would love it. And I would request an encore from Wilson.
I wanna come!!! I am missing so much, I can't stand it!
Aunt Di
I want to go there!
I had two thoughts while reading this post
1. I should not have read this while I was pregnant
2. I wish I had Kasia's metabolism because even when I'm not pregnant, I shouldn't eay half that stuff
Wow! Looks good--although those "homemade" corn dogs look a lot like the ones from Sam's Club. I wish with all of my heart I could have seen Wilson sing! That's BEYOND hilarious! He must have excited so many people!
Love the sweet potato fries! And the kareoke is sooo fantastic. :) Can't wait to go back myself.
