A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 43: Weaver’s Fresh Food & Drink

by MBIP


I’ve done plenty of posts from Weaver’s Fresh Food & Drink through the years, but tonight I realized that I’ve never done one from the bar there. I’ve always sat in one of the dining areas.

Well all of that changes tonight as we have our Saturday night dinner at the bar at Weaver’s Fresh Food & Drink!

Bar Number 43: Saturday, February 21, 2026, Weaver’s Fresh Food & Drink

Here we are at Weaver’s Fresh Food & Driink on a freezing cold Saturday night. It warmed up a week ago only to turn ice cold again. Oh well, it could be worse, we could be in New York City!

The sign says to “Wait To Be Seated,” but we’re going to the bar, so we’ll just mosey on over to there.

There’s plenty of seats, so let’s get settled in on this Saturday night out on the town!

Justin was the friendly bartender on duty and here he is serving me up an ice-cold bottle of Budweiser. I love it when this happens.

Someone told me about these Breaded Pork Tenderloin Fingers which I’ve never had, so I think tonight we’ll try those out with a side dish.

Justin took my order and now it’s time for me to take some photos in here. This is what I do, ladies and gentlemen!

There’s a hand lettered, colorful sign for Bill’s Lemonade on one side of the bar and another with a list of the draft beers on the other side.

We got a welcome sign on one of the TV’s! How did they know we were coming here tonight! Nice!

Justin took a photo of the taps behind the bar for me and he did a great job, thanks, Justin!

Here’s two shots from both sides of the dining room and there’s the Weaver’s logo on the back wall.

I love this photo of Weaver’s owner, Matt Weaver golfing with Willie Nelson!

Meanwhile, back at the bar, it looks like we’re just about to receive our Saturday night dinner! Lots of condiments on display, I love it!

Ask and ye shall receive!

Here is our B.P.T. Finger dinner. It comes with a side of pickles and I also got a side dish of their signature Sweet Heat Mac & Cheese.

I started off with the pickles and I don’t think I’ve ever featured a pickle on the blog. For some reason I’m thinking about The Dick Van Dyke show now.

Here’s their Sweet Heat Mac & Cheese, which is a creamy and rich mac and cheese dish topped off with their sweet hot seasoning.

This is so rich and satisfying, a wonderful start to tonight’s dinner!

Now on to the star of tonight’s dinner, the breaded pork tenderloin fingers!

These are large breaded, crispy strips of breaded pork tenderloin and they look absolutely fabulous!

I made a mixture of mustard and the house-made Tyler sauce and dunked the B.P.T. Finger in it and it complimented it perfectly!

The B.P.T. Fingers are breaded and crispy on the outside and the pork inside is tender, juicy and so tasty! Simply delicious!

I added a scoop of the mac and cheese and this was a taste sensation!

What a fantastic Saturday night dinner at Weaver’s Fresh Food & Drink!

The Drinks

I had two bottles of Budweiser with my Saturday night dinner. A double dose of Bud on a Saturday night. I had a few more when I got home!
