| Vorelli's burgers may be the best in PTown, totally deserving Best Bite recognition. |
Not long ago I had the
Kobe Beef burger at Vorelli’s, at 226 Commercial Street, and it was the best thing
I ate in that entire week, which earns them TheYearRounder’s Best Bite award for exceptional value on this excellent meal.
This mammoth hamburger
starts with a half-pound of Kobe beef, an exclusive grade of meat that’s famous
for its juicy tenderness and remarkable flavor. It’s served with leafy lettuce
on a bun that’s been toasted on the grill, with a mound of wedge-cut steak
fries, and dill pickle chips on the side,
The Kobe burger sells
for $14.95, which Is a great PTown bargain for a burger of this size and
quality. For an extra 50¢ each I added cheddar cheese, a big slice of onion,
and a thick slice of beefsteak tomato. Bacon was just $1.25. At Vorelli’s, they
go out of their way to offer a good value for your money.

| I could barely hang onto this huge burger with one hand while I shot this picture. |
I spread on a little
Dijon mustard and just a touch of mayo and I was in business, although it was really pretty
difficult to hold onto this huge, towering burger with one hand while I took
its photo with the other hand. This was definitely a two-fisted meal.
Vorelli’s is widely
known for its aged, Black Angus steaks, and a couple of my favorite seafood
dishes are there as well. A few pastas and Italian favorites round out the menu,
along with some great lunch and dinner specials and a terrific lobster roll,
again, at a great price.
Service at Vorelli’s is
friendly and thoughtful, and the staff makes you feel at home in this charming
old building that was once the old Five & Ten Cents Store. Much of the
artwork on the walls depicts this gracious building through the eyes of a
variety of artists over the years,
Lovely
panels of stained glass adorn each end of the comfy bar where you’ll find
Connie most nights, one of the towns most affable bartenders, who makes the
infused vodkas for a couple of their unique, specialty cocktails. A selection of great desserts and after-dinner drinks finishes a memorable meal.
There are plenty of great reasons to visit
Vorelli’s, and we congratulate them on garnering Best Bite recognition.
