From the burger to the Reuben to the pie, the Garrett sisters enjoyed every bite at The Bronx.

Tuesday evening we decided to head over to The Bronx. Located on the corner of Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs, this place is prime for people watching. That said, Emily and decided to sit on the patio. This was a lovely choice on such a beautiful afternoon. I will say that the inside is very cozy as well. You are greeted with a wonderful aroma of food when you walk in and each individual table has a vase full of fresh flowers.

We both were starving by the time we arrived, so we immediately knew what we wanted. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries. The fries were dusted in parmesan and were served as thick potato wedges. I generally prefer thinner fries, but these were pretty darn good. The burger was topped with a generous slab of American cheese and three thick pieces of bacon. I wisely only ate half of the burger, but it was perfect.

Emily ordered the Reuben sandwich. The Bronx Reuben had all of the right elements in good proportions. The corned beef wasn't too thick or too thin. She didn't have to wrestle with each bite, which sometimes you do. The Swiss was the right consistency of melted cheese to hold everything together, and the sauerkraut was slightly warm. Lightly toasted and served on pumpernickel, this was delicious, if you care at all for the sandwich (and it was HUGE).

Even though we were pretty full, we decided to try the apricot pie. This did not disappoint. The pie came in layers with a generous dollop of whipped cream on the side. The first layer was a buttery pie crust, the second layer consisted of an apricot/citrus flavor custard with real pieces of fruit, and the top layer was a buttery brown sugar crumble.

This joint fit the bill for great Tuesday night meal!
