When thinking of a place to grab a cheap meal, McCormick & Schmick's is surely not one of the first restaurants that comes to mind. But as I discovered last night, McCormick & Schmick's bar menu does in fact lend itself to those of us light in the wallet.
From the hours of 3:00 – 6:30 PM and then again from 9:00PM – 12:00 AM, Schmick's opens up a small number of meals and appetizers all under $5. The most popular of these items is the $1.95 half pound hamburger with fries. I did not try the burger but did try the mini potato skins (also $1.95) and the wings ($3.95). The portions of the potato skins and wings were on the small side but for their price one couldn’t reasonably expect much more. The menu also offers a spinach dip, ham and cheese sandwich, as well as other items all for $4.95 or less.
The kicker and potential deal breaker for some with McCormick & Schmick's “happy hour” menu is that the prices of drinks are average if not a bit above average. The beers run from $5.25 to $5.75 per pint and the miniature bottles of soda are $2.50. One must spend $2.50 on a beverage to buy from the bar menu but if you are looking for a few high end beers and some cheap food this might be one of the best deals in Boston.
