New to the St. Johns scene, The Fixin’ To was opened by former Portland Monthly senior editor Bart Blasengame and his wife in February 2010. “Classy-trashy,” they call it. Good beers on tap and happy hour $1 Rainier tallboys, a $5 bourbon/beer combo, and Southern-inspired cocktails. Food menu is also Southern-style, but simple: Frito pies, chicken dumplings, Ritz cracker-crusted chicken strips, meatloaf, chili. Most menu items have a vegan and/or vegetarian option as well, which is a good change from the meat juice-slathered dive food haunting the Lombard strip. Decor is trailer-themed, which is can be good or bad, depending on who you are.
