Another day, another shepherd’s pie. This one came with a couple of slices of bread, no salad, and left me overstuffed, with leftovers to take home. Tastewise, it did a great job as well, a nice crusty surface for the potatoes, a good mix of meat and veggies for the insides. Will be back.

Monday, April 19th, 2010I’ve been hankering for the perfect shepherd’s pie, and trying out different ones about town, lately. Sunday, I stop by Murphy’s Pub on my way home, figuring I’ll grab a quick bite, see how theirs is. I go in, and the place is fairly quiet, as to be expected on the first sunny day about 70 we’ve had in quite some time. I ask the bartendress for a menu, make my order, and get a drink to go with the meal once it comes, then start reading while I wait. At 20 minutes of waiting, I start trying to get the bartendress’ attention without being too rude. Around the 30 minute mark, she finally deigns to come over, and asks me if I want my check. At this point, my drink is still sitting untouched and completely full in front of me. I ask where my food is, and she gets all apologetic about forgetting to put the order in. I understand things happen when you are busy, but the last half hour, I’ve watched her twiddling her thumbs; she’s not been slammed with customers. grrr.
And after all that wait, it really wasn’t anything special for a shep’s pie. They do put a lot of olives on the salad that comes with it, if you like that sort of thing, but for $12.95, the portion sized seemed kinda small. Won’t be going back.
