Had dinner last weekend at Norma's, a small Mediterranean restaurant in Cherry Hill, N.J. Not overly impressed. About a dozen tables squeezed into a small space, little in the way of decoration or ambience, small portions, slow service, and food that was decent but not especially memorable.
My sliced beef Shawarma had some nice seasonings, as did my friend's ground beef Kafta combination kabobs. As for dessert, the Namoura was killer sweet and the Walnut Maamoul was unexceptional. The belly dancer was good.
Later that same evening, punctuated by thunderstorms and pouring rain, we stumbled into the Jughandle Inn, a vintage road house with an extensive bar and pub menu that has been doing business since 1912. It is locally famous for its chicken wings, which have snagged a number of awards at various wingfests over the years.
This funky establishment features live music or a DJ on weekends, helpful servers, lots of large television screens for sporting and other events, and an outdoor Gazebo bar that offers a range of hot dogs, sausages and other outdoor dining options during the warmer months. Will try to post more on this attraction after the Labor Day weekend.
