Some may
call it artery clogging food but for us it’s pub food with a twist. And what
goes best with cheap beer and tacky décor, reminiscent of an old hillbilly junk
yard? Our answer - Sanford’s and even more beer!
Atmosphere: Sanford’s is situated on the southern side of Fort
Collins on Harmony. The first thing we noticed about the outside is the large
outside patio. Once inside, we were transported to a hillbilly cluttered paradise,
packed with people. The décor is a cross between a Hollywood and a Vegas
junkyard with items and signs strewn all over the walls and ceilings. There
were also cartoon like hillbilly drawings on the walls and menus, as well as
unique lead pipe stands holding paper towels near the tables. The bar itself is
large and surrounded by HD TV’s and country music could be heard at
conversation worthy levels. There is high top tables available in the bar area
as well as booths and regular tables in the restaurant side. Sanford's clientele seemed drawn in, in large
part, by the kitschy cocktails (Hillbilly Martini’s) and cheap beer, but mostly
cheap beer.
Service:
We tried to find a seat at the bar to no avail. The bar was packed, but
we were fortunate enough to find a table towards the entrance to the bar area.
Service in the bar was attentive and fast, even with $1 beers, our glasses
never sat empty.
Drinks: Have
we mentioned they have $1 beers? Oh, and they have $1 beers. But besides that they have $1 beers. Oh and
some other happy hour specials (wine & wells) and fun drink names like coconut
cream pie and fuzzy mint. But we went for $1 beers.
Food:
Sanford’s menu is extensive. There are
more than 20 appetizers, 18 salads and countless combo creations. They feature
the usual BBQ staples, smokehouse ribs, pulled pork sandwich, barbecued
chicken, as well as broiled steaks, sandwiches,
fried chicken, wings, burgers and some Southern influenced touches such as; chicken
& biscuits, jambalaya, Cajun shrimp fajitas, Andouille sausage penne. We
opted for burgers on this visit, having the Pants on Fire and the Easy Cheesy.
Our sides of choice were the Sweet Georgia Browns (fried sweet potatoes) and
Cajun Fries – both delicious. The portions were large and our complaints only
came from our aching bellies after the damage was done. Overall our food was
fresh, flavorful and very fattening.
Amenities:
Large patio, HD TV’s, video games, sauces and Sanford’s merchandise for
sale.
Parking:
There is plenty of parking in Sanford’s parking lot.
The Buzz: $1 PBR’s all day every day, live
music on Tuesdays and Saturday nights, Sunday and Tuesdays kids eat free,
Monday through Friday from 3pm - 6pm, daily drink specials.
