Update on Blackfinn American Saloon


If you remember back in November I posted about receiving a $25 gift check when you signed up for BlackFinn's email list.

Well Hubby and I went out last night and the place is pretty! Yup I said pretty!

Even though it's a sports bar type place it is done up, as the name says, in Saloon fashion. Pretty dark woods, cozy, and full of flat screens!

While neither Hubby or I are the drinking or sports types this place was still great!



ESPECIALLY during Happy Hour! Which is 4-8pm 7 days a week!

Sliders, Starters, and Flat bread Pizzas are all HALF OFF in the bar area!

Check out the Menu here



We scored a booth in the bar area and had a nice dinner!

We ordered the sliders which were WAY bigger than we expected, they're normally $6.99 but during happy hour were only $3.50ish.

Hubby had the burger slider with a side of ranch for dipping and I had the pulled pork!

We each tried each others food, and while I loved both sliders, Hubby thought the pork was too sweet, but I thought it was great!

Either way I would recommend Blackfinn during happy hour for a GREAT cheap treat out!

And since it's so close to Parks Mall in Arlington you can go for some shopping, or grab a movie at the AMC or the new Studio Movie Grill or even head on over to Dave and Busters which is just behind BlackFinn.

Kinda Free Pancake Day

Speaking of IHOP...

IHOP is again celebrating National Pancake Day February 23 from 7am-10pm, by dishing out (semi) free short stacks of pancakes (3 pancakes per customer).



I say semi free because it is indeed free, but IHOP does ask that you CONSIDER making a donation to support children's hospitals.



Again participating locations may vary, call ahead...closer to time of course.

All You Can Eat Pancakes Back at Ihop!


Just as a quick heads up, I saw a commercial last night for the all you can eat pancakes special at IHOP! Participating locations may vary so call ahead to make sure your local IHOP is participating!
