When Kevin picked us up, Rich and I expressed our skepticism
of a place called the Khyber Pass Pub.
After a quick Google search, I found the Khyber Pass connects
Afghanistan and Pakistan through the mountains. Part of the trade route on the
ancient Silk Road, the Khyber Pass saw invaders such as Alexander the Great and
Genghis Khan. Hmmm…we were all curious
how good this place could be. Then
Todd stepped in the car and assured us that the food was amazing. He works nearby and returns frequently
with his coworkers. Jeanne and
Lisa met up with us in Old City.
Since we have a FryarSheehanHofmann (FSH) trip planned for
New Orleans in a few months, we were happy to discover that this pub had a NOLA
vibe. Southern style foods
including Po’ boys, mac n cheese, pulled pork, brisket, fried chicken, nachos,
sweet potato fries. Usually I hate
smoky bars, but this smoke was intoxicating. Todd had a burger, but the rest of us surrendered to the
lure of the bbq aroma.
Ratings:
Vibe: What a
pub should be. Maybe a bit divey, but, to us, that’s a good thing.
Server: Kind,
efficient, friendly.
Drinks: The
guys loved their American IPAs. I got my usual Malbec but regretted not getting
the Bloody Mary. Next time, and there will be a next time.
Food : A+. OMG,
we were all blown away. Tasty, tender, tangy, done just right. The Mac and Cheese was glorious. I’m not even going to rank the
friendship because Jeanne joked that this time the food trumped the
friendship. Kidding…I think.
44 to go!
That place has been there forever! The food has improved SIGNIFICANTLY from the early days, LOL Good music too!
