This restaurant is great for casual dining. The wide menu offers something for everyone. They serve everything from pasta dishes to jambalaya to cuisine with an Asian flare. Everything is flavorful and delicious and we have yet to experience a menu item that we are not fully satisfied with.
As is noted in their name, they have a full bar with lots of specialty drinks too. If you are a fan of happy hour (M-F 3-7pm), then you can sit in the bar to get great deals on many of their openers including sliders, bruschetta or coconut shrimp skewers all for $6 and under. Pay $2 for a house margarita, $3 for well drinks, and my personal favorite is the Long Island Iced Tea for $4. (Aaron is our favorite happy hour waiter, btw!
)Likewise, don't let the name mislead you into thinking that this is not a kid-friendly restaurant. We often bring the kids in during happy hour (which is in the bar-only) as well as into the restaurant. Kids meals are about $5 and under and while they do have the traditional kid fare they also offer a vegetable stir-fry as well as a citrus salad which both my kids love.
Speaking of kids, they also love the safari themed decor which includes a giant African elephant (tusks and all) protruding from the entryway as well as the tropical looking fans that *almost* make you forget you are sitting in a restaurant in a mall parking lot!
Overall, Elephant Bar is a great place to go for good service and good food!
