Rain Rain Go Away

Lots of rain again last night and today. Good excuse for a late dinner at Pufferbelly, a questionable name for a decent eatery and sports bar in Lindenwold, N.J. The building appears to be a former train station that has been upgraded and loaded up with choo-choo memorabilia.

The sports bar section adjoining the main dining room was predictably rowdy. Pufferbelly offers a decent salad bar, strong and varied selection of popular menu items and a handful of sinfully tempting desserts.

Also lots of specials and discounts for old people, kids, and certain foods and beverages at certain times during the week. Service was a tad dodgy, but the thick open-faced Reuben sandwich was good (albeit a bit skimpy on the dressing). A nicely rare roast beef sandwich with a large cup of au jus on the side got a thumbs up, although the au jus had to be requested twice.

A sliver of cheesecake for dessert was skimpily adequate but overpriced at $5.00, compared to the larger portions and lower prices at other Lindenwold neighborhood restaurants.
