Terry's Turf Club

Detail: The menu is short but sweet and centered on burgers -- if you use the term loosely. Top of the list is a hamburger, but there's also a filet mignon with béarnaise sauce. There are ample non-beef options including grilled chicken and portabella or seafood offerings. The sauces for the "burgers" reveal a little bit about the owner's background: At some point in his past, he did some time at the five-star Maisonette. His nephew makes the sauces now, but Terry ensures that standards are held; in fact, they grow their own tarragon for the béarnaise. What a simple concept: Taking a seven-item menu and adding enough sauce and topping choices to have something for everyone. There are no bad combinations when the starting points are this good. Seating capacity is 49 people, so I imagine there's a full house most nights (AM 8-20-08). Entrees: $6.50-$26. 4 p.m.-1 a.m. Monday-Thursday; 4 p.m.-2:30 a.m. Friday; noon-2:30 a.m. Saturday; noon-9 p.m. Sunday.
