Out of all of our city's many districts, Deep Deuce is one of my favorite areas to dine, thanks primarily to Chef Andrew Black and his soulful Black Walnut.
So, last week, riding high on expectations, my wife and I decided to try the oldest spot in the area – Deep Deuce Bar and Grill, 307 NE 2nd St.
We went last Sunday around noon for lunch. Even though we were sweating buckets, we decided to sit on the large outdoor patio. Fortunately, our server arrived at the table and quickly poured us water, which I promptly downed along with my wife’s!
As we waited patiently in the baking sun for my wife’s brother, his wife, and their adorable threenager—so adorable! – to arrive, we perused the venue's menu, filled with all the usual casual dining fixins'. When the rest of our party arrived, we said our "hellos" and gave our hugs, and immediately requested more water.
