It’s Arrived…!

26 Jul

Southern PecanWe have a new draft beer in our family! Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company presents the first beer in the world made with roasted pecans.

The beer is very lightly hopped to allow the malty, caramel, and nutty flavors shine through. With a dark mahogany color, Southern Pecan won a Bronze Medal in the 2006 World Beer Cup in the Specialty Beer category.

Because of a high oil content, many attempts at nut-beers have resulted in failure. The folks at Lazy Magnolia would not give up until they achieved success with this succulent new flavor.

With an alcohol level of 4.5%, the ideal serving temperature of Southern Pecan is 43 degrees.

Come give it a test drive with your favorite appetizer! Let us know how you like it on our Facebook or Twitter page!

We’re Changing Sides…

17 Jul

cokeWe’re doing it. This week, we’ve decided to switch from Pepsi to Coke.

Why?

With a portfolio of more than 3,300 beverages, from diet and regular sparkling beverages to fruit juices, waters, sports and energy drinks, and much more, Coca Cola’s variety spans the globe.

What Does This Mean for Trio?

This change will give us Coke Zero, Coca Cola, Diet Coke, Mellow Yellow, Orange Crush, Dr Pepper, Crystal Light Lemonade, and Sprite!

What do you think about this change? Tell us on our Facebook page! We want to hear your thoughts and opinions!

Fresh? Are You Sure?

12 Jul

chickenHere at Trio, we don’t mistreat our chicken!

Some places lead you to believe you’re getting fresh chicken, but you’re getting a microwaved, rubbery piece of “frankenfood” as far as we’re concerned. If you peek in our kitchen, you won’t see us thawing out that frozen stuff in a bag, that’s for sure! It’s always worth the extra time to prepare great quality food for our customers.

The way we treat our chicken

Trio Cafe’s chicken comes in fresh and NEVER frozen. It is then marinated and oven roasted, and we either hand pull it for our Chicken Salad and our Pot Pie, or thinly slice it for our Cordon Bleu Sandwich.

Come in and taste chicken so tender it melts in your mouth. We believe fresh is best, and our menu confirms it!

We Want You! To Dress Up…

4 Jul

FlagHere at Trio Cafe, we are proud to celebrate Independence Day, and we’re not afraid to show it! We encourage our customers to show their love for freedom and patriotism as well.

As advertised on our board outside the restaurant, we’re offering 10% off for any “patriotic patron” – just show up at Trio dressed up in anything patriotic and you’ll get a 10% discount!

So before you hit the crowds, come enjoy a leisurely meal with us. Then you can head out to the Festival on the 4th at World’s Fair Park.  Happy Independence Day, from all of us at Trio Cafe!
