One of the first dining establishments I visited was a little family owned business located on Bayshore Boulevard at the foot of Gandy. Falge's had pretty good food at prices an Army Spec 4 could afford.
Eventually Falge's closed its doors and moved. When I say moved, I really mean moved. The entire building was uprooted and driven to a new location. There is some debate as to whether the building was moved once or twice, but the old Falge's was re-incarnated as a Pizza Hut before it finally closed its doors for good. Well, not quite for good.
The building, located in SOG City (South of Gandy), has found new life as Big Mo's Sports Bar at 6231 South Dale Mabry.
Feeling the need of some nourishment for the mind and body, my bride and I decided to pay Big Mo and Mrs. Mo a visit yesterday.
Big Mo's is a friendly neighborhood sports bar that serves up some tasty breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. We were too hungry yesterday to wait for the Beer Can Chicken, with German Potato Salad, and a Bowl of Rich Onion Soup. Instead, we opted for the Grilled Cheese BLT and the 'Mo Better Blues Burger. Both sandwiches hit the proverbial spot so we were able to sit back and enjoy the game on several of Big Mo's big screen TVs without hearing our stomachs grumble.
Besides ice cold beer and really good pub grub, one of the things that impressed us the most was the friendly staff and management at Big Mo's. Lise, behind the bar, greeted us as we walked in and Mrs. Mo also gave us a warm welcome. Big Mo was working his magic in the kitchen.
Even though this was our first visit to Big Mo's we didn't feel like we were intruding on someone's private party. Big Mo's has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and as they say, "You are only a stranger once". Like Arnie, we'll be back!
