Quick bites: prime rib served all day

Ye Shire Tavern

While it shares a common owner with the Silver Fox Steakhouse across the parking lot, Ye Shire seems poised to deliver a more satisfying meal that won’t traumatize the wallet. The service that we received for a mid-week dinner seemed more knowledgeable and attentive than the reception at its pricier sibling; the menu was less ambitious and geared toward a casual/bar food crowd. True to the sign out front, Ye Shire serves up prime rib. For $25 it’s a great deal and a delicious, hefty portion–and dare I say, possibly one of the best prime rib plates in Richardson. The prime sandwich also received high marks along with its side of chip-sliced fries. Only the deviled egg appetizer seemed unoriginal, no more memorable than a grocery store deli imitator. Still, some other items on the menu appeared tempting, so it may be worth another trip to Ye Shire for more exploring. As long as you’re comfortable with the casual sports bar-like digs, then you’ll feel at home at Ye Shire Tavern.
