Happy Hour Lobster at Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar

OMG, right off the bat, my $10 Lobster Sliders for Happy Hour at Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar in Newtown, Pennsylvania, were fantastic!

My wife, Linda, took me to Harvest when we visited Carol, her 98-year-old mother, in Newtown, Pa., at her assisted living facility. Her mother still likes to dine out, and since it was the afternoon, we sat on the patio for an early Happy Hour. I am always on the lookout for East Coast seafood...at the right price.

If you are familiar with my family food blog stories, I was raised on the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana, where seafood is king. Jumbo shrimp, catfish, blue crabs, and oysters are in abundance, but one thing we do not have there is lobster (unless it is brought from out of state). Here are a couple of food blog examples: I made a slideshow video of Linda's visit to my Mom in Louisiana, and a couple of months ago Linda and I dined cheaply at Under The Pier seafood restaurant in her hometown of Levittown, Pa. (Click on any highlighted names to see my tasty blog posts.)

I never had the local East Coast specialty, Lobster Roll, until Linda brought me to see her family and friends in Pennsylvania (Levittown), New Jersey (Cape May), and New York (Fire Island and NYC).

A Lobster Roll filling is like a minimal Tuna Salad, but made with steamed, chopped lobster meat. The lobster is simply served on a hot dog bun. The lobster is served plain, with butter, or mixed with mayo.

At Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar, the chopped Lobster Salad has barely any mayo; it is all lobster chunks. I detected a mix of claw and tail meat. The Lobster Sliders for Happy Hour were loaded, and two Sliders for $10 is a great deal.

I think the Lobster Salad was served in Brioche mini-buns (instead of a hot dog bun). A slab of Bibb (Butter) Lettuce completed the Slider.

The lobster flesh was tender and moist - the buns were light and fluffy. Nothing to the Lobster Sliders, really, and that's fine. And each bun was stuffed and stacked with Lobster meat - I think these two Lobster Sliders held as much as a normally priced $20 to $30 Lobster Roll.

With such cheap Lobster Sliders, I indulged in a full-priced mixed drink called Harvest Peach Old Fashioned, comprised of Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Peach Puree, Organic Agave, Angostura Bitters, Soda, and Fresh Peach. The drink was a tasty mix of fruity, plus oak, caramel, and spiced flavored bourbon, and it went down smooth. I did finish the meal with a Happy Hour-priced beer.

Here is a photo of the Happy Hour menu from last month. Since the restaurant has a seasonal menu, some food specials come and go. Check with the restaurant before going to see what's for Happy Hour.

Linda and I have gone here a couple of times already, and all the food we have tried is delicious, plus the wine and fruit Sangrias are quite flavorful. Click here to see Harvest info and full menu. They have several locations - we went to the Newtown, Pa., location.

So, on the 99 Cent Chef's Cheap$kate Dining Scale of 1 to 9, 9 being best, I give Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar Happy Hour of two Lobster Sliders a...perfect 9.

On our next visit to Linda's mom, we are definitely hitting the Harvest Happy Hour to see what they are serving next. And, I hope $10 Lobster Sliders are still on the menu?

99 thanks, Linda, for turning me on to a cheap$kate Lobster Slider Happy Hour!!
