-- Let's talk about Costco's food court/snack-bar.

[Simply Red]

It's really really bad for you but I am liking that greasy brisket sandwich they now offer -11grams of sat fat --1g of trans fat & it packs 710 calories. :eek:

What are some of your favorite Costco snack bar menu items? Their Hot dog combo price hasn't changed since like 1985 or something - also I believe the below pictured is fairly close to most locations snack-bar menu.

It's amazing. The hotdog combo is the best deal. Not just a great deal, but their hot dogs kick the shit out of 90% of hotdogs out there.

How do they make hot dogs everywhere else?

My hot dogs just bleed grease n taste like common. Crap

I've never tried the brisket sandwich.

The dogs are good and cheap. They're huge. The pizza slices are tasty but super greasy. It's probably all as bad for you as you'd expect.

Their take home pizzas seem different from a pep slice from the counter. Do not like them

[Fire Me Boy!]

[threebag]

Figures. Still an idiot.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Oh, I tried the chicken bake once years ago. I don't really remember anything about it to review it.

I've never got it again so it must not have been amazing.

[loochy]

Yup. Costco snack bar is awesome. We go to costco every weekend for groceries. We eat the ample samples and then we top it off with a slice of pizza or a yogurt. High five!

[cabletech94]

never had the luxury of enjoying a costco. but i've had the sam's club hot dog combo. if i recall its an all beef dog. those are the bomb!!! they even sell them by the case iirc.

if i didn't watch what i ate, i'd buy 2 cases of those sum bitches...

Do you have a Costco in your area? Membership cost is about the same, and at least for my needs, Costco has better variety and product.

i haven't been to a Caseys in many years, but I used to love their Taco Pizzas when I was a kid.

My company works with the California GC that remodels these food courts when they do one in New Mexico.

That's the thing, I don't like a large circumference w/ regards to hot dogs - too much mystery in my mouth at once, freaks me out. That's why I doubt I'll get the hot dog meal.

BK 2fers when I was in high school. 2 cheeseburgers and 2 fries for 2 dollars.

[CoMoChief]

I always snake the isles for samples, then hit the hotdog/soda $1.50 deal on the way out and I'm usually full til dinner time. Cheapest sat lunch you can find. Take the woman out for lunch dates there many times.

Feel kinda bad for the sample promo people. They have to do it because it's their job, but they obviously know I'm more than likely not going to buy their product, and that I just want the sample. But i've bought a couple things they've had out for sample, so I guess add up all of the other people they end up doing well I guess.

I think I've mentioned the BK tacos in the past, got a lot of blank stares - not sure they were ever rolled out in the Midwest locations.

Never knew they existed. Look even nastier than Jack in the box. Sliced cheese on a taco is criminal.

I still would rather have a plate of White Castes right now. When I do steak it's usually the Hawaiian ribeye from Houstons - although times are not the same these days and I can't do that as often.

Also a weird side note - there's an active Taco Tico in Joelton Tennessee inside a gas station.

ever do a linguine w/ mussels smothered in a burgundy manhattan style sauce? Crushed red pepper, sea salt and a sharp parmesian? w/ a crusty italian bread? another weird side-note - Frontenac Bakery is one good bread spot for a nice crusty loaf. It's obviously in Frontenac, KS. :drool:

If every one of them closed down I wouldn't miss them too much. But right now it's one of four places to eat close to where I work, and one of the others is a terrible McDonalds that I won't go to, and another one is a Taco Bell. So my options are fairly limited if I need a fast lunch.

A regular hotdog with ketchup, mustard, and relish....and a reg u large chilidog. Reeeally thinking outside of the box on that one, BK.

[TimBone]

Sonic burgers are bomb. Plus they have the new fountain drinks with the sweet cream in them. The root beer one tastes like you're drinking a root beer float. Not something I recommend having often, but still tasty.

PSA: I tried one other flavor of the cream fountain drinks aside from the root beer, and didn't like it...so I can't vouch for the overall quality of the drinks.

I liked BK back in the day, as soon as they stopped flame broiling the burgers they went to crap. I will go there and get the crispy chicken Jr. with no mayo and ask for a BBQ sauce to top with instead. I think their $1.00 menu chicken sandwich is better than Mcdonalds.

Maybe because it was cooked on the grill, only had it once, sister in-law and boy friend at the time brought it over. I may have had a few beers in me at the time but it was pretty dam good.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Costco food is totally underrated. It's not that it's special, it's that it's great for what it is at it's price.

Anyone ever been in a Canadian Costco? It's screwy just like all Canadians. Instead of pizza and hot dogs, they have lobster rolls and poutine. Yeah, poutine. It wasn't bad, it's just a heart attack on a plate. Brown gravy stroke, or white gravy double bypass. Totally your choice.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I'm just catching a glimpse of the BK talk. I've been saying that to my wife for a while now. I used to thoroughly enjoy plowing a double whopper with cheese. I eat them more infrequently than I eat Mackdonalds at this point. They've become a shit show and I can't put my finger on what happened. Same thing with Hardees.

Maybe the grill is the answer. :D

I had it once and enjoyed the hell out of it. The Phoenix shop had it going on!

[jspchief]

It could well be that I've been ruined by places like 5 guys, Fuddruckers, and Smash Burger.
And the price difference is pretty small. 8 bucks for Hardee's or 10 bucks for smashburger is a pretty simple choice.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

TOTALLY agree.

[TimBone]

I worked at a Hardee's in high school and loved the food. This last year they built a Hardee's right outside the army base I work on, and I ate Hardee's for the first time in over a decade. I hated it. I attributed it to me growing up a bit, but maybe it has gotten worse.

[TimBone]

I know I've outgrown Steak 'n' Shake.

Much like Burger King, it's just different in some way. I think they're using lower quality beef personally, but I can't say for sure.

I know I've outgrown Steak 'n' Shake.

Yep. Same product. Don't eat it anymore. I'll pull in for a half price shake every once in a while, but with Culver's, and Freddy's why in the fuck do I want this greaseball?

[DaneMcCloud]

I know I've outgrown Steak 'n' Shake.

They're opening in Hollywood this summer.

I'll try it when the lines aren't so long but I'm not expecting much because I know how to fucking grill and prepare meat, unlike 70% of Americans.

Back in '93 I did a Costco set as part of my stand up comedy routine...

"so...I moved out on my own for the first time but, ya know, your parents are still trying to take care of you. And My mom's like, "I got you a Costco card."
Great!
I live alone. What the hell am i gonna buy at Costco that's not gonna be in my place for 2,000 years?
But that's okay, because that's how I furnished my apartment. They've got the gallon of mayonnaise, that's an end table. 50 pounds of beef jerky for a coffee table, and a Wonder bread 40-pack sofa.
That way, if there's ever a natural disaster I'll just eat my furniture.
(rim shot)
Have you ever been to Costco? The people shopping there are as big as the shit they sell. They're not buying groceries, they're there for lunch, man. They're gonna eat a friggen 40-pack of ramen right there!

(then I went into some Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions and the it went downhill from there)

you get the gist.

You know what's awesome about Costco food court? The price is the same EVERYWHERE. When we were in Kauai, we stopped by the Costco in Lihue. Guess what? Hot dog meal - $1.99! The other in-store items were also priced the same as here in the mainland. Groceries and food everywhere else were quite expensive. We also got the comical bonus of having wild chickens running around everywhere. If you've ever been to Kauai you'll know what I'm talking about.

not too bad, pretty fair burgers.

I enjoy a Steak and Shake burger. Most times, I do my burgers at home similarly in cast iron, smashing a ball of meat into the pan (thanks SR for passing along the NYT Food article on that).

Cheap shitty little dog that you can't even taste because it's buried under an avalanche of condiments.

Ahh..that makes sense. I just put ketchup and leave all that other shit off. Tastes like a decent hot dog to me. I don't eat there often but I usually grab one with a jr whopper

Technically yes

but i think actually no

they dont check your ID there

you could walk in the door where you go to do returns and buy new memberships, then you could stroll right on past and mosey on up to the ol snack bar

[Titty Meat]

Pepperjax shits on Chipotle

[KCUnited]

Around here, these walk up hotdog stands like to put the hotdog on the wrapper, surround it with fries, and roll it all up to go. As a result, some of the fries get pressed within the constraints of the bun with all the other condiments and works rather harmonious, imo.

[loochy]

Does anyone eat at the hotdog stands in front of home depot? I'm always tempted to try, but I always seem to be in a hurry or something.

You're not missing anything. It's really cheap, moderately good fast food.

I mean, if I'm gonna eat a killer greasy pork sandwich with slaw, I'm headed to Joes or makin it at home. All the other food on there looks like it should come with a side of Heparin.

I'm always intrigued by it, but I've literally never seen a single person at the stand at my Home Depot. Granted, I'm not usually there during week day lunch hours.

Cool. Thanks. Makes sense. I grab a bag of movie popcorn whenever I watch a movie at home with the Lady. They just let me go right in. I buy my corn and split. People look at me funny though.

[SAUTO]

Interesting.

I didn't mean to imply that it was bad because the ingredients and topping were fine but the crust never seemed to work.

Maybe the grill is the answer. :D

I will throw a Casey's pizza on the grill and they are much better. They never seem done enough for me anyway and the grill gives it flavor.

[Bugeater]

They still have those somewhere? I haven't seen them at any of the Pigsknuckle area Home Depots for at least 10 years. I bought them quite often back in the day, they were actually pretty damn good. I'm bummed that they're not around anymore.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I kind of hate myself for it, but I love Casey's pizza. They're not around here, so whenever I go visit family in Missouri, I always get a few slices.

[fan4ever]

I don't know if this has been addressed, or even if they had this everywhere, but they discontinued a ice cream bar that was dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts...for a buck fifty. They were so big my wife and I would split one on the way home...the kind of thing you'd see at the country fair for $7...then they stopped serving it. I look up at the food banner every time I'm in there hoping they've brought it back...so sad.

I thought it was brisket? Never had greasy smoked anything in KC, where did pork come into play? and you must of had a really crappy childhood to hate KC as much as you do... Not knocking you, to each his own. :(

just saying I don't have a Joe's or a Gates here in Atlanta. I don't hate KC. I just wouldn't want to live there, personally - a lot of people love it - my Father - heck my sister wanted to move back - after living here in Atlanta for about 12 yrs.

Overall - the food is better in KC than Atlanta.

I easily eat a dozen Sonoran dogs every time I'm in Rocky Point. Mayo + salsa on a dog just works.

That isn't in the food court, but I agree. I got it for the first time this week, very tasty.

Besides the desire to live beyond 55 to 60, I can't imagine why you wouldn't hit that many times a week. The dogs are delicious and plump enough to star in porn.

The pizza from the food court is great too. The pizza from the Frozen area for take home is way different. Always wondered why

Interesting. I've always avoided the pizza, maybe I've been making a mistake. How much do they charge for a wedge?

Oh and why we are at it, I know its not from the Snack Bar, but have you had Costco Cake. It's the bomb. My wife got a shitty Sams club cake once, and I chewed her ass. Love that Costco Cake.

[Ming the Merciless]

Been a Costco member for years, haven't ever eaten much there until I had kids. Got some pizza last time for them. Was a great deal I felt. The only weird thing is eating and dealing with food with 500 Costco zombies all pushing their carts to the exit

I think the pizza is better than the dog. It doesnt have the 1.50 deal though. It's 2 something just for a slice. I see ppl getting full cooked pizzas to go all the time. The Frozen ones taste like they use imos type cheese. Dunno, they're huge but meh

Costco dog with ketchup, deli mustard (whatever the fuck that is), and some onions plus a Pepsi = about the best food you can possibly imagine for $1.50.

I think it sucks. Even their frozen yogurt doesn't taste good. Mine doesn't have gelato or chicken caesar salad though.
