Tenderloin Tour '11: Stop Three--AJ's River Side Grill

We had been told by more than one person that we should definitely put AJ's River Side Grill on our tenderloin tour list. So, this evening after a little jaunt on the Harley, we decided to give it a try.


We weren't alone. Apparently people depend on this little barn as the take-out spot in town. While we were waiting on our food, several people drove up and picked up orders.
I ordered my usual--a loaded tenderloin and an order of onion rings. The first thing I noticed was something I'd never seen on any other tenderloin that's been a part of the tour--visible salt on the tenderloin. Hooray!! I can cut down on salt in other avenues of life, but NOT on tenderloin. And lo and behold, it was seasoned just right. The onion, tomato, and lettuce was fresh. The breading was GREAT.
The onion rings were excellent as well. They were nice and crisp without being hard. The color was good; the onion slices were whole, not chopped pieces.

There are two picnic tables outside the little barn; they don't have drinks at the grill, but the liquor store next door has several different soft drink machines.
AJ's is located on the outside of Winslow between the bridge and the railroad tracks; it's a little place, and somewhat easy to miss is you're not looking for it. Be sure TO look for it...it's well worth the search.
