Looking for Blondie's in St. Clair, we found this restaurant revamped with the name Scarlett's. As the story goes, a longtime bartender purchased from Blondie and kept most things the same but have hired a brother/sister duo that try to outdo each other in the kitchen with ideas such as a Mac and Cheese stuffed burger. We went in for burgers to go. We ordered a Big Texas burger with Fries($16) which is a half Lb. and an Build a burger (7oz.) with onion rings($10). While we were waiting, everyone was super attentive, and informative. For instance, I would've ordered a Bloody Mary while we waiting but their only mix was (ugh!) Zing Zang and when I mentioned this to the bartender, she said that she didn't like it either but that they were going to start brunch in a couple of weeks and they would offer a Bloody Mary bar with V-8 along with the other mix. Also on Wednesdays, they have $1 Wings.
I thought the hamburgers were good, high quality meat but would've been better if they grilled the buns, especially if they buttered and grilled them. Would've taken it to a new level. The buns were kinda steamed by the time we got them home. I did like the way they packaged the veggies, folded away from the food. I did not care for the onion rings; beer battered and very greasy. I would prefer the Panko style breading but that is just a preference.
We will go back. Service was great, food was real and menu has a lot of options, especially if they start brunch with a make your own Bloody Mary.
The next time I'm in the mood for a burger or brunch, I'll definitely go back. read more
