Camel's Breath Inn- Nothing fancy. Good food.

mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog, written by Kirk, ed(from Yuma), Cathy and a few others.  Today, Cathy is writing, since Kirk and His Missus are on another exciting vacation, and ed(from Yuma) is...well..apparently having a life.  

Hi.  Quick Saturday post. I hope your weekend is not too busy.  I'm just writing about places and food and various things I eat.  Nothing fancy. 

Back when the Padres played at Jack Murphy Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley, the Camel's Breath Inn was hopping before, during and after games, since basically it is walking distance to the stadium. It's in the same mall with the Stuart Anderson's, just East.

There are many televisions inside.  When the Chargers play, Camels Breath is very busy with the televisions and patrons partaking in adult beverages.  beer.

If you come here on Friday or Saturday nights, there is a cover charge and an..um.. interesting crowd who partake in karaoke, darts, pool, and dancing along with various beverages.

OK.  It's a dive.

With food.  

Decorated with Camels, stained glass, bar paraphernalia.

If you drop by during daylight hours, there is a lunch menu and a chalkboard, next to the large fiberglass camel inside.  There is also a small breakfast menu on weekends.

Since I include a photo of the table condiments in just about every post, here is the Camel's Breath array.  There was also mustard available.

The hot wings ($6) served with a ranch dressing.  A good ranch dressing. 

Lightly crispy and not too spicy. Good flavor. Nine pieces.

 

The flat iron steak, cooked medium rare.  Served with salad and fries, $7.95.  I got the salad with Thousand Island dressing and it was house made; eggy. 

The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, juicy and tender.  Just enough.

The fries were properly cooked, but were just average.  The salad was plentiful, had some cucumber and carrot as well as grape tomatoes in it and Romaine lettuce.

If you are in the area during the day, do stop by.  If it is an evening, you are on your own.

I've driven by this place so many times but the name just never seemed inviting to me, hehe. Flat iron steak sounds so good right now! Nothing like a nice piece of steak after 2 days of home improvement. :-p

You've got to just stop, Carol. It's amazing what you will find. Only two days of remodel? Or only two that you remember so vividly?

The flat iron steak was the smaller one, sawyer. They have a rib eye and NY strip also. Only $1 more. Quite good. Complete dive.
