Roll tossing is just part of the fun at Lamberts! What a hoot! So if you haven't been to Lamberts Cafe "home of the throwed rolls" you have got to go! We didn't really know what to expect when we walked in the door at Lamberts but we heard it would be fun. It is a lively place that was packed even for lunch at 11:15am. There was a big line outside but we only had to wait for about 20 minutes. Once we got seated and opened our menus we knew we were going to walk our stuffed. Every Southern dish come with 2 sides and 5 "walk-arounds." Walk-arounds are dishes that special servers just continue to walk around and ask if you want more. One of these walk-arounds doesn't get handed to you... it's thrown at you from across the room. When you see the roll guy you just put up your hand and a roll come flying to it. Man are those rolls good! The boys said it was the best bread they've ever eaten (I would have to agree if I wasn't spoiled by my grandma's cooking). When our meals came in the gigantic skillet our stomachs knew they were in trouble. Dave had Chicken Fried Round Steak and I had Ground Beef Steak. The boys went way out on a limb and had burgers. They gave us so much food that my meal leftovers alone feed us all dinner later that night (and I'm not kidding).
We noticed that all over the walls there were dollar bills that patrons had written misc info on. So we decided to leave our mark as well. We left home with $400 in $2 bills, so we left our mark in style. On our $2 bill we wrote our blog address, "www.hulsebusfamilydream.blogspot.com" I wonder if someone will see it and visit our website (If thats you "Hi" please leave a comment.
After lunch we stopped at all the stores we needed to run errands at and then drove to Bartlesville, OK. We are so looking forward to seeing our friends "The Burmans" from home (Granite Bay, CA) tomorrow!
Look closely for the flying rolls in 2 of the pictures.
