Spur

[daytripping]

After a short perusal of the offerings on offer at Aberdeen's Union Square complex the tripping family settled on a meal at Spur, it is an American Indian themed diner.

 

Thursday and Sunday nights is the all you can eat Ribs and Chicken wings night so I instantly plumped for that, the wife had a chicken salad thingy and the kid chicken nuggets and chips, all accompanied by bottomless glass soft drinks, that's free refills for you lot not into restaurant eateries.

 

The service was very pleasant and the food came quickly, my plate had a HUGE 10" rib on it and half a dozen wings, chips and onion rings were also in abundance, I set about the task of devouring the food with vigour and set the cutlery aside and ate with my hands, this did draw a few admiring glances. The wife was not impressed with her salad and it did indeed look pathetic next to my mound of protein, the child was happy enough her offering.

 

With a pile of bones in front of me and other people now beginning to stare at my efforts I decided not to let the side down and ordered another rack of ribs, I was in the zone and but for a belt adjustment kept the ribs flying down my neck, by now the pile of bones was a small hill and the other diners had almost stopped eating to watch my valiant efforts, were it not for a embarrassed family warning me not to order any more I would have went for the third.

 

The bill came to a less than wallet busting

Ribs and chicken deal is good as is their Wednesday night 2 for 1 on burgers but had main menu stuff from there a couple of times and been pretty poor value as quality not good. The onion rings are superb though!!

An American Indian. Interesting. Fit sort of curries do they do?

American Indian as in the blokes who used to chase te cowboys with spears and arrows and wore eagle feathers in their hats.

[daytripping]

Do you reckon they'd mind if some fat bhastard came in and got past the 10 ribs stage?

 

I think it could be done, they don't fill you up as quickly as the chinky places do.

Aye a' ken.

 

A lot of sophisticated diners on this forum (tup) who wouldn't even give the likes of Spur a second look.

 

Never been, might try it oot.

Go on a Thursday or Sunday and go for the all you can eat deal, quality for

They originate from South Africa. I was over to Cape Town last March and the girl i went to see took me to try "a real South African steak". The next time i walked through Union Sq i clocked it. Guess it would be like a yank taking a visitor to McDonalds for a "real American burger".

Tup wouldn't go near this type of foreign muck... In fact, I'm surprised he hasn't already checked in to this thread to give you a piece of his mind!

[tup]

Sophisticated diner?

 

Sorry, I don't eat in restaurants, so I canna comment.

 

Give me a fry up in a wee cafe any day over 'fine' dining.

 

Most of the things on the menu of a posh restaurant are things I would never consider depositing down my throat in a month of Sundays.

It's not me that's 'eating out' in Union Square, no doubt you washed your 'sticky ribs' down with a mouthful of man sausage garnished with gentleman's relish, followed by a wee bit of cottaging in the Spur ( :tup: ) bogs.

I give the stake 6.5 out of then.

 

I draw the line at eating lumps of wood.

 

At least there's no chance of bumping into Dracula there.

[CrazyBullSheep]

Would be better if they actually gave you a head dress, for finishing 10 racks. Cheap b*stards.

 

Or maybe the scalp of the Pig/Cow that the ribs came from

[amancalledbuck]

Yer nae Charles Campion, dayts.

 

Probably the same size though.

I'd love to see AA Gill or Giles Coren review all the suppers fae the chipper on Urquhart Road, one every day until the menu is exhausted, a bit like a Morgan Spurlock exercise, let's see how the blue bloods handle a f**king King Rib supper for the umpteenth night running, they'd be spewing their ringers at the mere sight of a mock chop, and come day 30 they wouldna be able to look a mealie puddin supper in the eye and keep a straight face.

 

It would the knock the sh*t out of them, teach them a valuable lesson in life, we don't all quaff poached wood pigeon and fillet of quail foetus of an evening, some of us have the constitution of an ox from a lifetime of eating gubbings scraped off the butcher's floor, doused in liquid fat, and deep fried enough to mask the vileness of the contents.

 

Similarly you could have seriously uncouth f**kers eating at the finest of establishments to provide balance. Ah sh*t, the Daily Record stole a march on me there, sending the motormouthed trosk Tam Cowan around some of the more costly central belt eateries, acting like a spare prick at a hoor's wedding.
