Scoreboard Sports Bar and Grill; 6th and Mechanic, Emporia, Ks
This little Sports Bar and Grill is a very recent addition to the Emporia Dining Scene. The name says it all and the menu is exactly what one would hope to find at a Sports Bar. The appetizer menu is expansive and mostly of the "fried stuff with cheese" variety. The burgers are large, have a tendency to be greasy, and are loaded with every topping but the kitchen sink. It took a while for me to get in there to check this place out for an actual meal. The decision on the burger option was difficult but finally was narrowed down to the Bobby Burger and the Slayburger. So my dining partner got one and i got the other!
The Bobby Burger comes with an optional hot sauce which I asked for on the side. The hot sauce was a salsa blend and for me, there was not much "heat" to it at all. It seemed to be more of a simple tomato salsa that did not have any of the traditional peppers to add the heat. The burger was topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, bacon and french fries. Since french fries came on the burger I elected to get the fried Mac-n-cheese triangles as my side. Overall the flavor was okay, nothing to rave about in the world of burgers, but a good hearty meal.
The Slay burger is served on a pretzel bun with bacon and a fired egg. I only had a bite of this one and found pretty much the same thing as I did with my burger- it was good.
This new spot in Emporia is working on it and trying hard. The service was sometimes a bit slow but they were trying. The food is okay and there are lots of TV's to watch your favorite sports events while you eat. This is a nice alternative for a quick bite to eat in the Emporia Downtown area. Next time you head to a sporting event at White Auditorium, stop in and check it out.
Price Range: $8-12
