26 Jan American Hotel, Echuca

A short daytrip up to Echuca meant we were in need of a bite to eat for lunch. The American Hotel had been mentioned by a number of locals, so we planned a visit to satiate our hungry bellies after a morning of water sports on the river.

The food really was quite good and everyone enjoyed what they had ordered, from the hearty Texan braised beef chilli, juicy burgers and tacos to the giant servings of succulent pork ribs. Although some might assume pub food fare isn’t the best, especially in regional areas, this certainly isn’t the case here and it’s worth the visit if you’re in the area.

Texan Braised Beef Chilli – Peppers, Tomato, Beans, Guacamole, Dirty Rice, Corn Bread ($17.30 for a small serve)

Bacon BUrger Deluxe – Wagyu Pattie, Cheese, pickle, Bacon, Mustard, Ketchup ($18.90 + $3 for chips)

Kansas Style Pork Ribs – Tomato and Molassas Glaze, Dirty Rice, Coleslaw ($30,30 for large), Fat Fries ($8.70 large)

Tacos (3 for $15.90)
