I came across the Midway Cafe during the Cheese Fest - they were a part of the Grilled Cheese/Mac & Cheese Cook Off and I was excited to find out how the rest of their menu stacked up.
I definitely saw quite a few menu items that I was ready to chow down on - there's a good selection. It's definitely got the sports bar vibe - it's very spacious and there's a nice patio out front as well right on the main street in Fort Thomas.
The one thing we saw right off the bat that we HAD to try was BACON FRIED BACON ($7.99). I mean - how can you not?! It's their signature appetizer and is served with a maple pepper jelly.
I was really excited about this app - but in the end - I didn't love it. It was a little too rich for me. The breading was really heavy and I sort of felt funky after a few bites. One stick was plenty - so it's an appetizer to share for sure. I did take the extra home for the pups.
Susie got the Midway Classic burger ($10.99) with bacon, fried egg, American cheese and their house ketchup - it was served with house-made chips. The chips were a bit hit and miss - with some soggy and others crispy - but the burger was great.
I chose the 10 smoked wings ($9.99) and got the Parmesan Garlic. They look really pink and that comes from the smoking which is fantastic. Also - they were HUGE!! I couldn't even finish them! They were ginormous!
Why Should You Go? I was very impressed with their showing at the Cheese Fest and was excited to try them out. Everything wasn't perfect but the wings were great as was the burger and the service was good as well. We would definitely go back!
