Willie Beamons probably has one of the nicest presentations of bar cheese curds I've ever experienced. While clearly not hand made, serving them in a nice plate with some garnishing around the rim was a touch I was not expecting and a pleasant surprise.
Now for the curds. I have to say for orange, breaded curds, these are pretty darn good. By themselves they lack a little something, but due to the extraordinarily good ranch sauce, these curds can hang with the big boys. The curds were fried very well, with excellent stretchiness. Golden brown with the cheese melted just right. The serving was actually very large, while the enormous plate makes it appear small, it was hard to finish even with some help.
So these curds really have the deck stacked against them in how good they could be, but they did very well within that range. I give them a 5.5 out of 10. While I wouldn't go out of my way to get these curds, if I was already there, I wouldn't hesitate to have them again.
