Thursday night my friends surprised me with a birthday dinner at Lake Hudson Inn.
First, John the owner is a fantastic host. The other guests were very kind to deal with my loud bunch.
I ordered a dirty martini. It was perfection! Many different drinks were ordered and all well-done. I was not focused on what everyone ordered, I can tell you everyone was amazed by the quality and quantity. I ordered a steak and loaded potato with a salad. The salad was fresh and the ranch dressing wonderful. The potato was the perfect balance of cheese, scallions, sour cream and butter. Finally-the steak. I don't normally order steaks at restaurants even though I love steaks. My hubby and best friend make the best steaks, one smoking and the other grilling. Anywho, this steak was very good. It was large, thick and had amazing flavor. It had just enough fat to make it flavorful and moist. It was cooked perfectly to medium.
If you haven't been here before-they have a small kitchen and yet produce a variety of fantastic foods. That being said-they worked diligently to get all 18 meals close to together, but it was a bit spread out. This is in no way a negative as what they do is amazing, just information. I had one guy pretty hangry, but he usually eats at 4 and this was after 6. Had I known I'd have asked to get his food out first, but he survived and had a great time.
The above and beyond-we have a gluten-free friend and John and his crew take care of him and are knowledgeable about the ingredients.
I asked for music and John played music we all knew. It was my 60th birthday. He also paid attention and heard someone call me by my childhood nickname Mickey, so he OU on Mickey, Mickey your so fine!
My hubby ordered tequila shots and two vodka shots. The glasses were cute.
In summary from a couple to a big party-they are ready for you. I really recommend this place. Check their Facebook or call because he does some neat specialty meals.
Hurry and go Check Lake Hudson Inn out. It's worth the drive from Tulsa or Joplin. Two guests drove from Missouri to come. read more
