Burger at Punk's Backyard Grill
Punk's Backyard Grill, right in the Annapolis Mall, is still keeping seasonal with its fresh ingredients and menu flavors. The new additions to the menu aren't just reminiscent of fall, they are welcoming in the holidays early.
You'll find local Dogfish Head pumpkin ale, whose spices go perfectly with fall food. It isn't too gimmicky, either, with pie seasoning. Instead, it's subtle.
Meals start out with homemade cornbread and honey butter.
The new Harvest Salad has goodies like applewood smoked bacon, candied pumpkin seeds, and apple cider vinegar. It's a tart, refreshing salad served in a generous portion.
Beets are the hot restaurant menu item now and Punk's has them in a very delicious salad with goat cheese, arugula, oranges, and orange oil, served as a side salad. If you haven't had beets since grandma's pickled beets from a jar, you owe yourself to try them again.
The new turkey burger is served with a sage mayo and cranberry relish on a sweet brioche bun -- a day after Thanksgiving treat if your refrigerator had all the nicest stuff!
Punk's always has a new cocktail going on, the kind of thing your next door neighbor would bring to the barbeque. This season, it's an apple/vodka punch with a hint of sage, for you mixologists.
Punk's has fired up the hot soups for the year and the black bean soup is pureed throughout with a tiny bit of heat.
Vegetarians and others will really like the veggie burger! It's homemade, with NO soy products. So, it doesn't have that fake texturized-whatever taste. It's tender, with grilled veggies cooked in. It has a lot of flavor and is very hearty.
What's life without dessert? The pumpkin souffle gets topped with vanilla ice cream and you can really taste the actual fruit of pumpkin in there, unlike most pies. Cupcakes at Punk's are sophisticated: homemade, not too sweet, with hidden flavors and essences.
