Bourbon Street Saloon - York

Bourbon Street Saloon, York Pennsylvania © Susqueats.com 2009

Among the restaurants within Kamionko Entertainment's ever evolving restaurant portfolio is the Bourbon Street Saloon. There's not much to tie this place to its Louisiana namesake other than being a good place to drink, have a good time and grab some pub grub, but then again, how many bars in New Orleans are exactly like this one? Plenty.

The interior is modest yet nicely appointed, with large sofas in the foyer for those who prefer to lounge.

The food is distinctly American bar food but with a homemade touch. Their wing sauce is made from scratch. Unlike most, it is not a vinegar-based sauce, but it is full of flavor. Their Suicide Wings are so hot that if you can finish a plate, you get your picture taken and put on the wall. At the time of this posting, there was only one picture on the wall. And I can tell you from personal experience, these babies are made from fresh peppers and are hot!

The menu claims that this Saloon serves the "Best Burgers in York!" of which they have 15 varieties, like this straightforward Bacon Cheeseburger. Some of the other varieties include Bourbon Burger (Grilled Onions, Cheese, Thousand Island, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Sweet Pickle), Rodeo Burger (BBQ Sauce, Onion Rings), Western Burger (Sour-Dough Bread, Grilled Onions, Cheese), and Italian Burger (Pepperoni, Mozzarella Cheese, Pizza Sauce).

One word of caution, though: the Saloon's hours are limited. As of this writing, they are only open Wednesday - Sunday evenings, and their website did not detail this.
