Lit’l Bit Bar and Grill - a Food and Establishment Review
by Drew Bankston
I was invited to come to the Lit’l Bit Bar and Grill and took my wife there for a night out. It was a 40-minute drive and I was really hoping for a good meal and a fun night out.
We arrived and walked in the front door. A quick look around revealed a bar, a small dining area, a small dance area with DJ booth and beyond that was a room with pool tables.
The bar was busy and close to the bar were a few full tables. Music was playing and we enjoyed each classic country song!
We seated ourselves since there wasn’t a hostess and waited for the waitress to come over with the menus. We continued to wait and did so for over 5 minutes. I thought about heading out but finally, the waitress came over and asked us if we wanted drinks or if we wanted to eat as well. My wife ordered her favorite margarita and I asked for a Sprite since I was driving.
We looked through the extensive menu and both decided on the Chili Cheeseburger. It sounded good and seemed to me to be a unique experience.
The patrons were laughing and having a good time at the bar and another waitress was opening time talking with 2 couples at another table. It was almost like Cheers where the regulars and locals were the ones getting the attention but we were lost in the background.
My wife’s margarita arrived and seemed to be missing the tequila. (See photo). She ordered a different drink which tasted better.
The food arrived and was really good. The combination of the half bun with a burger smothered with chili as well as green chili was a stroke of genius. I wished that the burger was a handmade patty but I believe that it was one of the pre-made kind from Costco or Sam’s Club. The fries were seasoned well and a delight.
Dinner was done and the waitress dropped off the check. We spent about $41 which seemed a little pricey and ended up heading out the door to find stronger margaritas since those were a weak point at this establishment.
I give Lit’l Bit Bar and Grill a B- for the food and atmosphere. The atmosphere is great if you’re a local or regular but if you’re looking to drop in for a meal and a good time and from out of town, I’d keep looking. By the way, for comparison, here is the margarita that we had at our next stop!
