To look at the Laughing Pint from the outside there is nothing that prompts you to think that the food is fantastic. As a matter of fact there is no indication that food is served at all. It's appearance is portrays little more than a neighborhood bar were you may stop in to have a beer, but looks can be deceiving and the food at the Laughing Pint is some of the best i have had anywhere. Oh, by the way, that is in addition to the pool table and free shuffle board.
The menu itself is small and they don't even have a deep fryer. About half a dozen appetizers, burgers, mac and cheese and a few sandwiches plus a soup of the day and a special...that's it. Though the menu is small, the quality of the food and the creativity and flavors are amazing!
Tonight I decided to try the Natty Boh Mac & Cheese. I can see your reaction. "Yeah, its Mac & Cheese with bratwurst, big deal..." Not so fast. Mac & Cheese with Natty Boh bratwursts mixed into fresh Havarti and Cheddar cheeses topped with a pear Bourbon sauce is a whole new animal. I must admit I was a little weary of the pear Bourbon sauce being overly sweet, but it was very subtle and well balanced with the taste of the bratwurst and cayenne pepper. It was a perfect meal for a cold, damp January night. And it has ruined all other Mac & Cheeses for me.
Do yourself a favor and stop by the Laughing Pint and say hello to Sharon, Shannon and Monica while you enjoy a beer and a bite.
As always, Eat like A Local!
