When we found ourselves with some extra time on our last Colorado trip, we decided to make a detour to see our good friends Joe and Jenny in West Virginia. While we were there, we played Wonderland Disc Golf Course and then had lunch at Lost Paddle Bar & Grill at Ace Adventure Resort after.
The resort offers camping, a festival venue, a water park, and a restaurant, in addition to the disc golf course. The restaurant had a log cabin feel, with a large bar and a multi-level dining room overlooking the water park. It felt clean and new.
We sat at the bar, where we ordered cocktails from the friendly bartender. After looking over the menu, Chris and I decided to start with Jalapeno Poppers. They came with a tasty sauce that we enjoyed.
We decided to share the Full Fish ‘n’ Chips. Before ordering, Chris checked with the bartender to make sure they offered malt vinegar. Unfortunately, when the fish came out, the bartender informed us that they were out of malt vinegar, so she brought out apple cider vinegar and red wine vinegar. We applauded the effort to make the situation better, but neither was an appropriate substitution. The fish was fried a beautiful, crispy, deep golden brown, with a light, flaky, and delicious inside. The portion was plenty to satisfy our hunger.
We found it odd that instead of the typical fries, the fish came with kettle chips. When we looked at the menu again, we realized it mentioned kettle chips in the description. The kettle chips were crispy and nicely seasoned.
We enjoyed the tasty meal in a lovely atmosphere, but the best part was the great company. It was a great lunch after a vigorous morning of disc golf on the mountain.
Cost for two cocktails, a soda, an appetizer, and an entrée $46.74
No malt vinegar for Fish & Chips! Ugh! I learned on my first visit to Australia that freshly sliced lemon will make do if malt vinegar isn’t available. That fish looks wonderful.
Only malt vinegar will do for your son! LOL
The fish looks fabulous. Those poppers look pretty good as well. There’s a pub just across the street from our local disc golf course that does excellent fish and chips.
The food was fantastic.
I actually would have liked the kettle chips instead, lol!
The kettle chips were good, just unexpected.
This looks like a fantastic place to try!
It was good. I loved that it was right next to the disc golf course.
My hubby tries fish and chips everywhere we go! We’ll have to add this to the list.
It is such a simple but delicious (when done right) dish. We order it most places we find it on the menu.
I love fish and chips… but I’m not sure the kettle chips would have done it for me! The fish looks good though!
The chips weren’t bad, but disappointing when you have fries on the brain.
That looks tasty! I love jalapeño poppers!
Me too. It’s nice when you can actually bite through the pepper instead of getting the whole thing in the first bite.
