Visiting The Morton’s Power Hour In Woodland Hills
- Morton’s Power Hour In Woodland Hills
Yesterday after work I was feeling the urge for some social interaction and some good food & drinks. My buddy Steve told me earlier in the week when I wrote about the National Pi Day Key Lime Pie Special coming up on Sunday, that he is a regular at Morton’s Power Hour happy hour, so I figured who better to check it out with. We met at the Arnie Morton’s in Woodland Hills (6250 Canoga Avenue) right at 5pm when the place opened, along with some other friends. It was quiet when we got there, but it ended up getting quite busy. The Power Hour runs between 5pm to 6:30pm and 9pm to close daily.
- $4 Sam Adams Seasonal Beers
I started things off with one of their $4 Sam Adams seasonal beers, and looks like this season it’s the Noble Pils. A pretty good beer, to get me warmed up. Steve and his wife were not shy about checking out the $5 glasses of BV Coastal Cabernet and Cavit Pino Grigio. I wasn’t sure how many glasses Steve ended up having, but he reported it was “a lot of each.”
As Steve says, we “blew through the place like a cyclone” and ordered up a slew of bar bites.
- Power Hour Colossal Shrimp – $2.50/each
Up first, we blew threw the a plate of the $2.50/ea Colossal Shrimp. Crazy. Fresh, delicious, and huge. What more can be said?
- I hear you have a great big shrimp. Can I see it?
It’s so funny, when I do these write ups I tend to get really hungry for these things again. I could go for another icy plate of those shrimp right about now.
- Morton’s Mini Crab Cakes
Next up, an order of the $5 Mini Crab Cakes. Awesome. Sure they are small in size, but big in flavor. It’s actually a surprisingly filling little dish. I can’t get enough crab cakes. Later on in the evening we ended up getting a couple additional orders. Good stuff.
- Morton’s Power Hour Jumbo Lump Crab, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip
Next up, the $5 Jumbo Lump Crab, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip. Man, the flavor of the dip on those little pieces of crustini cheese toast will rock your senses.
- I miss you, old friend.
Honestly, I was pretty stuffed from trying all these Bar Bites, but right as our server informed us that 6:30 and the end of the Power Hour was upon us, I mustered up the gumption to order the $5 Three Prime Cheeseburgers. These things are insanely popular, as everyone at the tables surrounding us was having them. I just could not pass up the chance to try them.
- Morton’s Three Prime Cheeseburgers
Honestly, these little burgers were probably the best thing I had at the whole Power Hour. Of course, I ordered them rare, which was definitely is always the right choice. They were so juicy and flavorful, it blew my fragile mind. I am not kidding. $5, people! If you love burgers like me, you need to go try these. You will never be able to eat a mini cheeseburger somewhere else again after trying these. Sometime soon I will stop by and try the more expensive $15 Morton’s Prime Burger. I have heard very good things about it. [Update: See my review of the Prime Burger.]
It should be pointed out, too, that the bar has a really nice outdoor patio area which is a great place to hang out and chat with your friends. I had an amazing time at the Power Hour, and the staff and service at Morton’s was friendly and fast. I will be back, soon!
