HY’S STEAKHOUSE AND COCKTAIL BAR

Calgary, Alberta – Hy’s Steakhouse and Cocktail Bar is back in Calgary and looks fantastic! Renovations are done and the new location is stunning with dark wood décor, beautiful furnishing and an open kitchen concept where you can view your steak being cooked to perfection.

There are many classic appetizers at Hy’s, but one of the showstoppers is their tableside Caesar salad, which you can guess, is made right at your table. When ordered, a waiter brings a side cart with all the fixings and whips up the dressing from scratch for mixing with the rest of the ingredients in an enormous wooden bowl. Over the top? Maybe, but delicious! Another appetizer you cannot go without trying while visiting this Squirrel Systemscustomer is their legendary cheese bread – sounds simple, but you really won’t know the appeal until you take that first bite of the cheesy, garlicky goodness!

Hy’s is an old-school steakhouse and celebrating its 52nd anniversary this year, they have learned a thing or two about cooking a good steak. Many won’t visit without ordering the New York Strip, which is said to have given this restaurant a place in the steak hall of fame! Any steak you order comes with your choice of potato, but we recommend the double baked with your choice of green onions, sour cream or bacon on top.

You wouldn’t expect anything less than a superb experience when visiting this iconic steakhouse and this new Hy’s location doesn’t disappoint.

LAS CASUELAS QUINTA

La Quinta, California – Among the many Mexican restaurants in Palm desert, Las Casuelas Quinta, a family owned chain, stands out and impresses all who walk through its beautifully crafted front gates. The architecture and interior is something to see with water features, clay tiled roofing, exposed ceiling and three calming fire places. The staff is vibrantly dressed and always warmly welcoming while serving authentic Mexican cuisine or one of their signature margaritas.

Right when you are seated, yummy homemade chips and fresh salsa hit the table, giving you something to munch on while deciding what to have on the extensive menu. To start, you can’t visit a Mexican restaurant without trying their take on Tortilla soup, which at Las Casuelas Quinta is made with chicken and veggies in a spicy lime broth garnished with avocado and corn chips. Another tasty starter to try and a nice alternative to traditional poppers are their jalapeno skins. For the main, we suggest satisfying your Mexican fix with the “Combinaciones Mexicanas”, which is a combo meal served with rice and refried beans and your choice of one, two or three items, including enchiladas, tacos, burritos and more!

Another thing you can’t go without while visiting any Mexican restaurant is the margarita! At this Squirrel Systems site, they are known for HUGE and tasty margaritas in many flavours and served with high-end tequila. We suggest the Cantina Quinta's Fruit Margaritas, blended with strawberries, mangos, peaches, raspberries, bananas and melon. Yum!

If you are booking a party, going out with friends or just want to sit and have a cold one while listening to some good ol’ mariachi music, Las Casuelas Quinta is the place to go!

DEANO’S GRILL & TAPWORKS

Wichita, Kansas – Squirrel is ecstatic to feature another great customer using one of our restaurant POS systems, Deano’s Grill & Tapworks. Beer, great atmosphere, friendly service, and sports constantly playing on 23 flat screen TVs….need we say more? Deano’s Grill & Tapworks is a neighborhood favorite to hang with buddies, go on date night, or to spend Sunday funday watching your NFL team. The décor is quite elegant for a sports bar, with clean lines, real brick, and sports memorabilia on the walls. The best thing? There isn’t a bad seat in the house for watching one of their many TVs.

When you sit down and take a look at Deano’s menu, you will soon realize that this isn’t your average sports bar fare. Start off with the cheesy goodness of their Queso, served with either pretzels or homemade tortilla chips. Or if you’re sharing with friends, grab an order of their wings, which are HUGE and cooked perfectly. And hey, why not add a side of their mouthwatering mac and cheese?

For the main event, one of their artisan pizzas would be great to share or devour the BBQ Haystack cheeseburger with shoestring fried onions, cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce! Wash it all down with an ice-cold beer from one of their 23 taps.

Stop in Deano’s for one of their many daily specials that include $3 pints, $15 pitchers, and for the non-beer drinkers, half price martinis and “perfect margaritas!”

CRAFT BEER MARKET

Vancouver, BC – Opening just under a year ago, Squirrel Systems customer Craft Beer Market boasts Canada’s largest selection of draft beer. Situated in the beautiful Olympic Village, Craft is housed in the Salt Building, which was built in 1930. The building’s transformation is stunning, featuring high ceilings, wood features, and a rustic feel throughout. Craft’s central island bar is surrounded by many seats and has 140 tap lines housed in 2 towers. With beer and ciders from around the world, you are guaranteed to find your favorite!

Aside from the amazing selection of beer and cider, Craft also has a great menu with everything from burgers, pastas, and being just steps from the water, a great selection of seafood. If you’re stopping in Craft for a bite and a beer (or two) with friends, we recommend the Nacho Barrel, which has nachos smothered in a mixture of cheddar cheese, jalapenos and diced up tomato and peppers...and yes, it actually comes in a barrel! In the mood for something lighter? The Lobster Salsa is to die for with Ocean Wise lobster, shrimp, avocado, and pico de gallo served with warm corn tortilla chips.

Our next recommendation is not for the faint of heart. If you are really in the mood for a burger (and we mean really), order the 20 Napkin Burger that features two 8oz burger patties, a 4oz brisket, crispy bacon and cheese sauce, and wait for it…garnished with a mini burger!

After you take your last sip of beer and say goodbye to your new friends at Craft, we suggest you take a stroll down Vancouver’s gorgeous sea wall to take in the city and digest that massive burger you just ate!

BIG SKY RESORT

Big Sky, Montana – In the heart of Big Sky country, experience a golf course like no other. Designed in the early 1970s, Squirrel Systems customer Big Sky Resort has a golf course standing 6,500 feet above sea level that offers endless greens and remarkable views. From just about every hole you are able to see the beautiful snowcapped local mountain Lone Peak while listening to the rushing stream that weaves through the course.

When you’re done your 18 holes, stop at the Bunker Bar & Grill and dine on their outdoor patio overlooking Big Sky’s meadow! Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks, the Bunker Bar & Grill offers a varied menu with special offers throughout the week. We recommend their Fried Boneless Wings to start with their signature huckleberry BBQ sauce, served with cilantro jalapeno ranch. The Bunker Burger with certified Angus beef and your choice of cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack or American on a black pepper parmesan Kaiser roll is also a great choice! Bringing the kids? Nathan’s legendary all-beef hot dog will definitely be a hit!

Stop in from 5-7pm seven days a week for happy hour where all appetizers (except wings) are only $4and Montana craft beers are a steal at $3 each. Going for a relaxing round of golf on a Sunday? Visit the Bunker Bar & Grill for Sand Trap Sundays and enjoy a build your own Bloody Mary bar and a $20 Mimosa Bucket!

HUB RESTAURANT AND ICE CREAMERY

Tucson, AZ – Said to be a hidden gem on the historic Congress Street of downtown Tucson, HUB Restaurant and Ice Creamery (and Squirrel Systems customer!) is well known for its busy atmosphere, tasty eats and unique ice cream flavours. As you walk into this bustling restaurant, the hip, modern yet old school décor will make you want to come back time and time again.

The menu has something for everyone and we suggest starting with a popular favourite, the Prime Fries – prime rib bites, caramelized onions and cheese sauce on a bed of skinny fries or try another fave, the glory curds featuring fresh cheddar curds flash-crisped with siracha ketchup... no one can get enough cheese right?

In the mood for something lighter? HUB offers an amazing selection of salads, including the seared ahi which comes with tomatoes, mixed green, radish sprouts, cucumbers, jimaca (Mexican turnip) carrots, soy glaze and miso vinaigrette.

If you can’t get a seat at a table, the bar is always a good bet. They have a great selection of craft beers, wine and cocktails. If you like spice, try the El Viejo, also known as “spicy tequila,” which has a splash of smoke mescal, freshly squeezed lime juice, pineapple juice and hub serrano-spic agave syrup. Yum!

Last but definitely not least, we suggest stopping by for one of their signature ice cream flavours. HUB introduces flavours daily, but you can always bank on staples like the Bourbon Almond Brittle, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup or the Drunken Brunch.

Have you been to HUB? We would love to know which ice cream flavor you tried!

The Whip

Vancouver, BC – Just a short distance from downtown Vancouver, this Squirrel POS customer is nestled in one of Vancouver’s funkiest neighborhoods, Mount Pleasant. The Whip is a favorite of the community with its cool vibe, friendly service, and wide variety of menu options! The Whip is a great place to meet friends after work or to stop in for a lazy weekend brunch (but be ready for a busy atmosphere as this place is a popular breakfast spot).

They have a full brunch menu that includes famed bennies like the chorizo and toasted tomato benny or the smoked salmon lox benny. The Havana rice bowl is a great option for vegetarians and includes a poached egg, Monterey jack cheese, salsa, and sour cream on top of tomato baked beans and seasoned rice.

Stop in for dinner (served late until 11pm) and enjoy their pulled pork sandwich, which is cooked low and slow in a Dijon BBQ sauce topped with crunchy coleslaw on a ciabatta bun. The truly crave-worthy Whip veggie burger is a favorite as well, with a beet, black bean, and carrot patty made in house and served with a sweet chili glaze and chipotle aioli. Wash it all down with a jug of the Whip’s yummy sangria or the many local beers on tap.

The Whip is also a great supporter of the community, displaying local artists throughout the restaurant and holding events like Real Ale Sundays, presenting local breweries.
