You can add cheese for 50 cents extra. I asked what kind of cheese they had. They said they had American, provolone, and blue cheese. I went with provolone, kicked the tomato to the curb, added some mustard, and boy was it yummy. Steak fries on the side were good too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Mark told me I had to leave room for dessert. &#8220;Would you prefer banana pudding cupcakes, or key lime cake?&#8221; Anything with key lime is an instant classic in my book, so I went with the key lime cake, also known as Beetle Cake because of the color.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/beetle-keylimecake.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10394\" title=\"beetle-keylimecake\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/beetle-keylimecake.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/beetle-keylimecake.jpg?resize=500%2C375 500w, http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/beetle-keylimecake.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/beetle-keylimecake.jpg?resize=150%2C112 150w, http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/beetle-keylimecake.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/beetle-keylimecake.jpg?w=1600 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Extremely rich and very&#8230; well, limey. Definitely a dessert I would recommend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I talked to them about this past weekend. They were so busy for Trolley Night that there was a wait. No surprise there, because that&#8217;s typical of a South Main restaurant. However, they were also busy Saturday, and this is the cool part&#8230; they were so busy Sunday night that they were still serving their home-cooked lasagna and chicken fried steak at 12:30 AM. Very good to hear that people are getting out and enjoying the Beetle that late on what is traditionally an off-night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Chef Jonathon Plumley will be in a new episode of <em>Hell&#8217;s Kitchen<\/em> on FOX tomorrow night at 7.
