Speak Easy

Every so often a commercial comes across the television with a catchy jingle: Speak Easy. SPEAK EASY. Can you hear it?

The jingle belongs to a Moorhead restaurant with a 1920's theme, and I have been intrigued to try it. I thought it was too probably too expensive for my low-budget dining out, so I was waiting for a special occasion.

Last Sunday, we decided to find Speak Easy in South Moorhead. It's right near the Safari discount movie theater, so it was easy to find, although it really didn't look like much from the outside: just a regular sign post and a plain looking building.


But inside! Inside the decor was perfect. There was even a vintage car in the bar area. A real, red, shiny vintage car from the 1920s. From the furniture to the paintings on the walls to the menu items, everything fell perfectly to the theme of Prohibition, flappers, the Mob...

In fact (and maybe because it was Sunday at lunch time -- post-church crowd), even the clientele fit in with the theme. Most of the diners probably remembered the 1920s or pretty darn close. And they were dressed in suits, with hats and everything.


The menu had tons of great lunch choices, and the prices were very reasonable. In fact, I think we often pay more for lunch at Perkins than we did for lunch at Speak Easy. I had the rigatoni (half) and brought home half of that, it was so much! The husband tried the reuben and enjoyed that, as well. On Sundays, kids eat free from the Babyface menu! Our toddler ate some of her chicken strips and fries; most came home with us.

The waitstaff is very friendly and attentive. The food was great. The price was right. And the atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping it would be.

It was just...fun! I hope to go back to the Speak Easy sometime soon. I hear you get a $10 gift certificate if you stop by on your birthday (with proper ID).

If you are planning a trip to the Speak Easy, I suggest checking out their online coupons before you go.

Just don't fill up on the warm sourdough bread while you wait for your food. Mmmm, bread...

  2. There's a place that's kind of similar around here, except it's a 1950s theme. Their waitresses even used to wear poodle skirts!

  4. Upon examining some etymological dictionaries, one can
    conclude that games are a creative expression of the human spirit through the
    creation of an activity that has an entertaining, instructive and competing element.
    they simply need to learn that you will not be able to appease
    everyone of your player-base. Well, you can have that same chess engine on your Android mobile

  5. Around 150 games in total, but that's relatively small compared to our users. t want to forget to buy your all star game tickets at Angels Stadium from an independent ticket broker that cares more about customer satisfaction than the bottom line. You can also customize the car including retractable hanggliders.

  6. Once you have the centers prepared, there are a number of ways to decorate the outside.
    If you prefer to use frozen strawberries, they work in this cake equally as well as the fresh.
