Scoreboards Pizza and Grill, located in the upscale Granite Bay area of Roseville, CA, is a restaurant that specializes in pizza, but serves a variety of your favorite "pub type food" in a family-friendly, sports bar-like atmosphere, complete with a welcoming patio and a full-service bar. You'll be treated to some of the best pizza in town, along with amazing service, that's as friendly as it gets.
As you enter the restaurant, you'll we welcomed by a friendly host, and you'll notice the full-service bar and the many television monitors, which give a "sports bar" feel to the restaurant.
On the wall, next to the bar, is a list of specials when a game is being played. Scoreboards leans heavily towards a sports bar, and offers a great place to relax, and enjoy a game. On this late Saturday morning, not much was happing in the world of sports, but that wasn't my "plan," as I was content to enjoy the late morning on the patio, along with a "Classic Burger."
From the "Free Agents/Burgers" section of the menu, I went with a "Classic Burger," with "Ciabatta" as my bun and "Thousand Island" for my dressing. To really make my classic "old school," I went with Cheddar cheese, which always works wonderful with a fine burger. All "Free Agents" on the menu include shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion and dill pickle slices. Perhaps it was the beer talking to me, but today, I enhanced my "Classic Burger" with sliced avocado and bacon, to make this a special treat.
The burger started with a half pound hand-formed patty of tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned beef, cooked to medium. I didn't ask my beef to be cooked medium - it arrived that way - which was fine with me, as that's how I prefer my beef. I assume you could have your beef cooked any way you choose by just asking your friendly server. The beef was placed on a buttered and lightly toasted ciabatta bun, which held together well, and helped to round out the juicy "bite" of the beef. As per my order, both sides of the buns were coated with "Thousand Island" dressing, and a melted slab of Cheddar cheese was placed on top of the meat. The burger was dressed with diced lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced red onion and dill pickle chips. The optional avocado slices and bacon added an extra "foodie" dimension to this amazing burger. Truly a delicious, "old school" burger to enjoy!
The large side of fries complimented and enhanced this wonderful burger! What goes together better than a burger, along with an order of fries? The fries were perfectly deep fried to a rich, golden brown, deep fried crispy on the outside, soft, white and tender on the inside. Like the burger, the fries were perfect!
From the "Free Agents/Burgers" section of the menu, I went with a "Turkey Burger" as my second burger, thanks to the "Buy one get one free" offer I had received online to redeem during the month of May. Like all burgers on the menu, the "Turkey Burger" gave you a choice of bun, dressing and cheese. I chose a "Ciabatta" bun, Cheddar cheese, and like my "Classic Burger," I opted for Thousand Island dressing, to make this an "old school" delight.
Like all burgers on the menu, the "Turkey Burger" includes shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices and dill pickle chips, and includes a mountain of delicious fries. I opted for a "to-go" box for my "Turkey Burger," as it was my "freebie burger" - thanks to the promotion - and I had plans to take it home and enjoy it for dinner.
The meat patty of turkey was BIG... one half pound, and amazing juicy, flavorful and tender. I admit that I was pleasantly surprised, as most turkey patties are dry and boring, but not so at Scoreboards Pizza and Grill! The thick turkey patty was tender, juicy and grilled to perfection. Seasoning was slight or maybe non-existent... no complaints on my part as the burger was simply delicious!
Like the "Classic Burger," the "Turkey Burger" was placed on a buttered, and grilled "Chiabatta" bun. As per my order, the turkey patty was covered with a slice of melted Cheddar cheese, which worked well with the "Thousand Island" dressing to garnish my burger. Shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced red onion and dill pickle wedges rounded out the burger.
Like the mountain of fries I enjoyed with my "Classic Burger," the fries were deep fried to a perfect golden brown, and made for an amazing side to this simply delicious "Turkey Burger."
The "Turkey Burger," along with the fries were "on the house," thanks to the offer I received online, so I brought them home in the "to-go" box and enjoyed the delicious meal for dinner. Thanks... Scoreboards Pizza and Grill for the delicious dinner!
