Another week in Parma and lots of new locations visited. See captions for particulars.
Skyline Chili. If you have never had the pleasure of eating this Cincinnati treat you need to get in your car and drive to Parma right now. Why Parma and not Cincinnati? Because the Parma location is the last restaurant that has the original cafeteria style ordering format. No waiting for waitresses just a friendly home town staff to welcome you. Pictured is a 4 way (spaghetti, chili, mountain of cheese, beans) and a cheese coney dog.
This bar is on ridge actually in N. Royalton. My brother was in town and we wanted a low key place for dinner and drinks. (Notice the guy rollerblading in the parking lot) only in Parma!
The inside of the firehouse was dark and full of rowdy patrons. The drink prices were cheap and they had a happy hour with 1$ beer selections! The food at this place was good and ridiculously large portions. I ordered a signature sandwich called a Roman Chariot and this thing was a giant pizza dough wrap with three beef patties, and Italian deli meats. This place was started by firefighters and they offer a military discount for our soldiers!
This bar sums up Parma. Julie and I decided to try to go out and watch a Nascar race on Sunday. We figured Parma being a blue collar town would be full of racing fans. I was wrong all we found here were five guys who are hammered drunk at 2pm. I didn't mind it was kind of funny to see the locals in their natural environment. A 22oz Budweiser and a well vodka soda was only $5.75! Crazy cheap. They also offer $1 shots of something called a "Circle Jerk" I have no idea what that is, I was not brave enough to try it. We only had one drink but plan on coming back for the State Rd bar crawl later this month.
The Red Circle also offers on site bowling.
On our Sunday quest to find Nascar we happened upon the Pit Stop on Ridge rd. I actually really liked this place. It was completely empty but had the race on. Apparently people in Parma don't watch Nascar they just get drunk on Sundays. The bartender was very friendly and personable.
The deals at this bar on Sunday were crazy good. $2 pints of GLBC Christmas Ale! Another awesome special was 10 wings for $3.99 with a two drink minimum. These wings were really good. Crispy and saucy. BBQ garlic sauce was delicious and hit the mark. Definitely worth making a Sunday tradition for the wings, Nascar,and drinks.
Honey Hut Ice cream a local institution. This place is not your average ice cream place. They actually make their ice cream with honey rather than refined sugar. The result is a smooth treat that is probably healthier for you. I still love East Coast Custard but I can see why locals flock to this place to get their summer fix.
