Traveling with PugsleyTonks

What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

"FINE" DINING

BOMBSHELLS, BURGERS, & BBQ

Have you ever been to a BBQ? I am sure you have. Have you ever been to a coffee shop? I am sure you have. Have you ever been to an indoor shooting range? Well that’s probably about 50% of you in this audience. BUT, have you ever been to a BBQ, coffee shop, and shooting range…all in one…I give you Bombshells, Burgers, and BBQ.

Have a coffee, enjoy some BBQ and bring your weapon

If you ever find yourself near Huntington, WV, on I-64, and looking for some lunch. I would like to recommend that you stop by Bombshells, Burgers and BBQ. The restaurant is inside the Bare Arms indoor shooting range. To enter the restaurant you actually have to first enter the main entrance of the shooting range. Take a moment to stroll around the showroom and peruse the merchandise. The restaurant is off to the right side of the gun showroom. Once you get inside the restaurant, you will get that nostalgic diner feel with a classic WWII motif as well. I can only testify for the brisket, but my food was great. The burgers seemed quite popular and the dining room was filled with happy customers. So, whether the shooting range tends to draw you in or send your away…give the restaurant a shot.

All that said, lets talk a little courtesy, as well as self preservation. If you are doing your required blog reading, you may remember when I warned my red neck readers to behave themselves when they visit the hippy town, Yellow Springs, OH (please see earlier post on subject if you do not know what I am talking about). In this case, its the same thing but in reverse. The regulars here really like their 2nd Amendment rights…the regulars here really like Donald Trump….and most of the regulars carry guns. So if you have any political views anywhere close to left of center…shut your mouth, smile and enjoy some wonderful BBQ. Traveling with PugsleyTonks makes no endorsement of the political positions expressed at this restaurant, coffee shop, and of course shooting range. If you behave yourself, you will find this to be a family friendly place where the dining room (and shooting range) is filled with happy and satisfied customers. Bombshells, Burgers and BBQ is that little slice of Americana that definitely meets the requirements of the FINE DINING category. PT
