Welsh Cabin – Or, “Are We In Bree?” Looking for a place to have a nice New Years Day lunch with Father Csete, our pastor, I remembered Ellen Neumann mentioning the Welsh Cabin several times and how yummy the food was, so we decided that we would trek out to it today and check it out. This is a teeny place out in the middle of nowhere, and I don’t think I’d have it any other way. It is truly a cabin, logs, wood stove and all, and about twice, maybe thrice the size of the Ingalls cabin on Little House on the Prairie. Very cozy and warm both in ambiance and décor as well as temperament. And the odors which emanate from the kitchen out to the parking lot are outrageously good immediately bringing to mind good, hearty American Fare waiting inside. You walk in and there is a nice bar, which features American/Local beers to the left with the dining area neatly laid out, mid and right parts of the floor. Visually the place is brimming with history, memorabilia, a sense of “local,” and some very interesting traditions: Just look up! We were immediately made to feel at home by the bartender/host…unfortunately I did not get his name, but a very nice guy. We sat ourselves at a table near the warming wood burning stove and our host came over with menus and to offer us something to drink. I began to feel as if we were at the Prancing Pony in Bree! The menu is ample and discernibly American. Pilar opted for a Jalapeño Cheddar Burger plate while Father Csete and I decided to try the Steak & Shrimp plates. I also ordered a salad on the side. Everything was totally yummy and cooked exactly the way we ordered. The burger was quite large and juicy. The shrimp were very, very yummy and NOT a mass of breading with an anemic shrimp tucked miserably inside, rather they were nice thick and meaty shrimp with just the right amount of crunchy coating. The steaks…WOW!!! These were masterpieces of yumminess. In almost all restaurants where I have ordered steak, I indubitably find myself leaving a small to large pile of yucky fat rinds at the edge of the plate when we have finished dining. It is unsightly but it is even grosser to actually bite into one of them. The steak at the Welsh Cabin did not have any nasty fat rind at all. It was all meat, and very tender, juicy meat! Kudos to the chef!! The only things left on our plates were a few forlorn looking shrimp tails. All in All, this was an excellent dining experience all around and we left quite content. This place is TRULY out in the middle of nowhere, but we will most certainly be back!
