Now, sometimes all you want is to go to a restaurant, get a seat immediately, and get yourself a big greasy plate of fried delights.  Or, well, at least I do.  And when that happens, I go to Putter's and I get the appetizer sampler and shove my little face full of fried mozzarella, buffalo wings, and fried mushrooms.  Then I go home and sop up the grease secreting from my pores for the next week.  But man, is it worth it.Putter's ain't pretty.  It ain't much of anything, really.  But you can go here for some cheap eats or cheap drinks and the location is fabulous.  It's right next door to the famed Pinball Hall of Fame and Tropicana Cinemas.  It's like a tightwad's cheap date wet dream come true.  And if you DO take a date here and go see a movie later, you won't have to worry about buttering your popcorn.  You can just stick your greasy, oozing face right into the bag and TA-DA!Man, am I gross or what?

I've never been to a Putter's before and I see them all around town.  From the outside, it's all dark and I had no idea what I was walking into.  What a surprise to find a brightly lit diner place with a bar, large screen TV, and pool table.  It's late Saturday evening and grabbing a seat at the bar, I ordered a mixed drink while the BF ordered a beer.  We inquired about getting change for the pool table and the bartender said it was free to play pool!  Cool!  He just had to open it up for us.  The pool table does get stuck a few times, which is probably why it's free.  But hey, we didn't mind.When our party of ten plus people showed up and surrounded the pool table, we ordered more drinks.  After a couple of drinks for the both of us, we headed next door to the Red Hookah.  The BF was pleasantly surprised with how cheap the drinks were when he closed out his bill.  And I was impressed with how kickback the place was and how cool the bartender was too.  The BF even would consider making this his local bar if it wasn't way across town for us.Overall, we were pretty impressed with Putter's on East Tropicana.  The cool thing is that we plan on hitting this place first to grab some drinks and play a couple of rounds of pool again before we hit the Red Hookah next door.  (And if we're hungry, we could come back and grab some food too!  Nice!)

We stopped in here before my pilgrimage to the Pinball Hall of Fame.Walking in, I was immediately taken by the smell of smoke. Living in Los Angeles, I'm not used to walking into public places and smelling that.  It wasn't overpowering, just unexpected.Right when you enter, there is a large rectangular bar with video gaming built into the bar.  To the right is the dining area.  Think Elk's Lodge style chairs and veneered tables that have been wiped down so many times that the wood finish is turning white.  Jeff ordered the sliders and I got the taco basket. Jeff's sliders came with 4 small burgers and a mountain of fresh and hot french fries.  Under the fries there was a buried pickle.   The small buns were actually kinda fancy. They had been grilled and the burger meat wasn't dry.  There were some delicious grilled onions on the burgers, too.  It was a huge meal, despite being an appetizer special.I got taco basket.  Three ground beef tacos.  There was a bit of lettuce, a bit of tomato and a pound of cheese.  I was in heaven with the cheese.  I dumped the lettuce, tomatoes and ate them with the cheese.  There was a small container of salsa, but it really had no flavor.  The tacos were actually smaller than I had expected, but they were tasty and not greasy.  The food was much better than I had anticipated.  It was reasonably priced, too.Our server was obviously tired.  We went in during the early afternoon, after the lunch rush, on a Saturday.  I think the poor thing was just beat.  When she was around, she was great, but it was hard to find her.  We almost left because no one came to take our order for several minutes.  I would give this place 3 stars for the food, but the darkness, the smoke and the slower service brings it down to a 2.  However, the next time that I am the Pinball Hall of Fame, I might consider getting something to eat here.

So, we were at the Pinball Hall of Fame and Tony suddenly wanted a beer and some shots!  So, we went next door to Putters!I have seen a few Putters around town but I have never actually been to one.  The staff was EXTREMELY friendly!  I ordered some tacos and my order arrived quickly.  They were just regular basic tacos but they were pretty good.  I saw their Sunday and Monday night football specials and the food prices were excellent!  I wish they had offered those prices on a Friday!  Oh well!This place offers pool, which is probably the only exciting feature there besides video gambling options.  The decor is very plain.  This is a locals joint!  The decor isn't as nice as PTs but for some reason, I like the feel better.Tony liked it because they "ignore" the smoking ban!
