Bars near Randolph

“The food, the prices, the place, are all awesome. The fish frys are delicious, not too greasy, not too much breading to fish ratio. The side salad could be a meal on its own with the portion size, homemade croutons, and homemade ranch dressing. Pizza has yet to disappoint, and the wings are the best price around, and they have a great selection of flavors. I normally only post when I have bad experiences at places, that's how you know this place is the place to go.“

“This is our first time coming to MJ's since they've come under new management. The food was very good, our waitress was excellent, the service was fast, and the prices were fair. Plus, it was fun to watch football with the hometown crowd. Very happy, we'll be back.“

“Stopped by on a quick trip to Salamanca on a Friday afternoon, stopping in around 5 pm. There were several vehicles in the parking lot, always a good sign at rural restaurants in my experience. We sat at the bar and were immediately waited upon getting our drinks quickly. They had your standard bar selection, just what you'd expect with Southern Tier beer on tap. The interior has a quirky outdoorsy atmosphere, there are antique guns everywhere on the walls. Cool animal mounts are abundant, highlights include: jackalopes, a warthog, and possibly the largest taxidermy squirrel I've ever seen. The bar top was also clean, no crumbs or sticky spots.The menu had a good variety of offerings: maybe 15 apps, steaks, burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads. The people I was with were raving about the clam chowder soup. So I had to try it, i love soups and get them with almost any meal. They had about 5 specials written on a board by the door. The French Onion Prime Rib caught my eye. It can be a risk, but I've had some of the best prime rib in places like this. Our soups came out quickly and it was pretty good clam chowder. It's a thicker chowder and very creamy with nice chunks of potato and a decent amount of clams. Served with a package of oyster crackers, I added a little black pepper and housed the bowl. The side salad from the prime rib came out almost at the same time. It's a side salad that comes with a big chunk of beef, let's be honest it's not why you're ordering the meal, but it was fresh and their Italian dressing was above average. You're not just getting Wishbone in a cup.The star of the show was the French Onion prime rib. I order mashed potatoes and gravy as my potato, they came in a small crock with the steak. I ordered it medium rare and it came with a generous amount of caramelized onions and melted cheese that was broiled to a light golden brown. The steak came out a little closer to medium than medium rare, probably a byproduct of melting the cheese, but it was delicious none the less. The beef was tender and the flavor combination was awesome. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, nothing to get excited about but provided a nice compliment to the prime rib. The Horseshoe Inn was a great experience: quick service, good food, and an interesting atmosphere. It wasn't super busy when we were there with maybe 4 other parties in the restaurant. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area, maybe try the wings and French onion soup next time.“
