What better place to watch the end of the World Series – or your favorite sports team play – than at Goal Sports Cafe on W. 3rd St. Complete with 13 Plasma TVs, 8 beers on tap, and a menu that's short and to the (scoring) point, Goal's got something for everyone.

The Grubdown:

- total old-fashioned style The Cheesy Chuck 1/4 lb Burger with Cheddar Cheese, Mustard, Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle & Pirate Sauce on a Soft Bun ($12)

- addicting, thicker than usual, "russety" Housemade Potato Chips (comes with burger)

- crispy, sweet 'n sour, with a hint of spice Pirate Wings Deep Fried with House Special Pirate or Buffalo Sauce ($10)

I'm not gonna lie, I do think the food at Goal is a bit overpriced. But at least Chef Jonah Johnson delivers with each bite.

Of course I had to order one of their signature burgers. The other, the 1/2 lb Juicy J ($15), is stuffed with Pepper Jack Cheese – not my hand model's favorite – so we went with The Cheesy Chuck. While it instantly reminded me of an old-fashioned diner burger with cooling Shredduce & Mayo and thick juicy Tomato, my counterpart thought it tasted more like Fatburger. Either way, we definitely enjoyed it, except for the mysterious patch of Salty Chili Powder seasoning hidden in 2 of my bites.

While I haven't tried Goal's French Fries, I strongly recommend getting their Housemade Potato Chips with your entree. They're a bit thicker than normal, taste like they're half-baked, and are fried in a blend of trans-fat free Canola & Corn Oil. My hand model and I were fighting over every last chip.

Now, I'm totally not a wingman – no, I'm not referring to the Pauly D "Situation" on Jersery Shore – but I do happen to love Goal's Pirate Wings. Their secret Pirate Sauce tastes like a blend between BBQ and Sweet 'n Sour with the slightest hint of Buffalo spice. They're crispy on the outside, and super tender 'n moist on the inside. I ate them so fast I forgot to take a close up shot.

Goal also serves Mini Corn Dogs ($9), Nachos ($10), and a Rib Eye Baseball Steak ($20). Lighter items include Ceviche Cocktail ($13), 3 different Salads ($9-12), a Veggie Burger ($12), Tequila Lime Shrimp ($18), and The End Zone with Caribbean Chicken, Salad & Coconut Basmati Rice ($20). For Dessert you can indulge in the Superbowl Sundae with Raspberry Sauce & Brownies ($12) or a bold – in flavor and ABV – Chimay on tap.

If it's game day and you're a party of 4 or more, reservations are strongly recommended.
