The Scene
Follow a down-home friendly server past the bowling ball return that serves as a cocktail table and the honest-to-goodness trailer to a table along the wall. By then you'll have probably absorbed enough calculated kitsch to focus on the food, instead of on the photo of Elvis, Priscilla and Lisa Marie that looms on the wall behind you.
The Food
The aesthetic at Trailer Park is more fat Elvis than young Elvis, and the food matches perfectly. A solid inch of bacon separates the two pieces of bread in the BLT. Burgers are satisfyingly greasy, with a backyard-soft bun, and they just come right out and call their hot dog a Fat Dog. Almost everything comes in a plastic basket with a pile of sugary sweet potato fries. Nachos are strictly ballpark--salty rounds in yellow cheese sauce or doused in chili.

Good food and snappy service, but caveat emptor: The recited drink specials may have tacit footnotes. I ordered a $5 margarita up during Happy Hour and was billed $6 because it contained "extra alcohol." The waitress wouldn't (couldn't) correct it, and the bartender wouldn't back down, either. Obviously, Trailer Park is not interested in cultivating a customer relationship with me. Perhaps they have all the business they need, but in this economy, that could quickly change. It was just a dollar's worth of principal, but I won't go back.

I love Trailer Park. On Tuesdays night they have a burger, tater tots and beer (PBR) special that not to be beat. Their frozen margaritas are so tasty and strong. Vegetarian? No problem -- they have many veggie options (veggie burger, veggie sloppy joe). They also have turkey burgers. The decor is --- well --- as if you were in a trailer park. I love the pregnant, smoking, curler wearing, flamingo slipper wearing mannequin. I highly recommend this place!

Hosted a bachelorette party here for a friend last night, and we had a blast! They technically don't take reservations, but said if I called the day of, they'd hold a table for our group of 7. Went off without a hitch. Our friendly waitress even took a polaroid of our group and put it in a little frame for the bride-to-be to take home. The margaritas were killer, the food was just what it should have been--love those tater tots! Fun, colorful place, great for a low-key party.

What to Drink:
The house cocktails for two are pricey but fun. The "Paradise Hawaiian Style" mixes three kinds of rum in a hollowed-out pineapple.
