Ten smash burgers. Nine sandwiches and wraps. Five tacos. Grilled salmon and a Louisiana fish dinner. That is more than most people expect on N Forest Ave.
Here is what is on the menu, off the one Omar printed in October.
Where do you get a burger in Hartwell?
Ten craft smash burgers, and every one comes with fries or chips.
The American Smash Burger if you want the plain honest one. The Brew House. The Oklahoma Onion Smash Burger. The Fire Smash Burger, with roasted serrano peppers on it. The Dilla Burger. The Brunch Burger, with a fried egg. The Mushroom Swiss. The Pickle Pub Burger. The Bacon Jam Burger. And the Chicken Chipotle Avocado Burger, which is ground chicken breast instead of beef.
Any burger can be a double.
Ten burgers, nine sandwiches, five tacos, five flat breads. Nobody in your car has to settle.
Where do you get seafood this far from the water?
Same place. Seafood runs through the whole menu, not just one plate at the bottom.
- Grilled Salmon, on the entree list, Thai, Cajun or plain, with a choice of two sides.
- Louisiana Fish Dinner. Grilled fish, Cajun style, topped with jumbo shrimp and creamy cheese sauce, over rice and corn.
- Crispy Fried Shrimp Basket. Twelve hand battered jumbo shrimp, with fries and slaw.
- Shrimp Roll off the sandwich list. Ten fried jumbo shrimp in a toasted hoagie bun, tossed in Thai, Buffalo, Yum Yum, Chipotle or plain.
- Shrimp or Salmon Tacos, three California style tacos.
- Shrimp on the Surf & Turf Quesadilla, and you can add shrimp to the Nacho Dip or five fried shrimp to the Rib & Tender Basket.
Is there a sandwich shop in Hartwell?
Not a shop. A sports bar and restaurant with nine sandwiches and wraps on the menu, and those come with fries or chips too.
The Philly Steak Sandwich. The RC Patty Melt. The Cuban Sandwich. The Reuben. The "Big" Bird Sandwich. The Classic Club Sandwich, which is oven roasted turkey with ham on marble bread. The Ranch Turkey Wrap. The Shrimp Roll. And the Surf & Turf Quesadilla, which is not technically a sandwich.
What if somebody wants tacos?
Five California style tacos. Omar's Street Tacos are the place to start. After that it is Omar's Pork Street Tacos, the Won Ton Chicken Taco, Buffalo Chicken Tacos, and Shrimp or Salmon Tacos.
What if you only want a salad?
Two, and they are real ones, not a side plate with a leaf on it. O's Spinach Salad, which comes with spiced pecans, apples, dried cranberries, crispy onions and blue cheese crumbles, and the Chef Salad. You can add grilled or fried chicken, salmon, steak, shrimp or pork adobo to the spinach.
Five flat breads as well. Buffalo Chicken, Pepperoni, Italian, Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, and Spinach & Feta. Good for a table that cannot agree.
What comes with it?
Burgers and sandwiches come with fries or chips. Sweet fries or onion rings can be swapped in, and a side salad on the burgers.
The entree list, all of it: Grilled Salmon, the Rib & Tender Basket, Country Fried Chicken, Fire Grilled Pork Chops, the Louisiana Fish Dinner, the Crispy Fried Shrimp Basket, Texas Chicken, the Southern Smothered Burger Steak, and the RC Chicken Tender Dinner.
Kids ten and under get their own four, each with a kid sized drink. Grilled cheese, cheeseburger, tenders, flatbread. And to start there are wings boneless or bone-in with eight sauces, Pretzel Bites, Nacho Dip, Stuffed Tots, Spring Rolls, Mozzarella Sticks and Fried Pickles.
Is there dessert?
Two, and two is enough. Cinnamon-Sugar Pretzel Bites with vanilla ice cream, and an Apple Dumpling a la mode.
What is behind the bar?
Cocktails and beer on tap. Spirits and wine. Zero proof picks for whoever is driving. Ask your bartender.
