BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL

I always enjoy going out to eat at BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL! I've been eating at their Metro Detroit locations for nearly 30 years. So when they invited me to visit their downtown Royal location to celebrate National Tequila Day by sampling some margaritas as well as a few of the new dishes they are promoting, obviously I wasn't going to turn them down.

BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL has a create your own stir fry concept for its restaurants. You walk through a buffet line gathering up meats, vegetables, spices and other ingredients to have grilled together for your meal. You can go freestyle mixing and matching as much as you can fit into the bowl they provide you or gather up the ingredients listed on available recipe cards to make meals like the Blue Ribbon BBQ, Beijing BBQ and Korean BBQ that I was invited to sample on National Tequila Day at BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL. Once you've filled up a bowl with stuff you'd like to eat, take it up to the restaurant's huge barbeque where a cook will grill up a meal for you.

In addition to enjoying these great Mongolian BBQ dishes, Sauza Tequila also sponsored an open bar for taste testing margaritas during the evening. All of BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL'S margaritas are made with Sauza Blue Silver Tequila. They have three varieties to choose from: traditional lemon-lime, strawberry and chipotle mango. Having to drive myself home, I didn't over indulge and just had 2 drinks -- a traditional margarita and one of the spicier chipotle mango ones. They both went great with these stir fry dishes. Everything was very tasty!

Before heading out for the night, I couldn't resist getting a hot fudge sundae. BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL has some delicious deserts on the menu that also include deep-fried Oreos and cheese cake. Now that hit the spot!

I had a wonderful meal at BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL enjoying a few Sauza Blue Silver Tequila margaritas and some delicious stir fry dishes. Because this is a restaurant that I enjoy going back to again and again, BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL has absolutely earned A Geek Daddy nod of approval. In addition to their Michigan locations, there are also restaurants in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ulaanbaatar Mongolia.

While I did receive a free meal, the opinions expressed in this post are honest and my own. Thanks BD'S MONGOLIAN GRILL for sponsoring this review.
