On the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in a small town's most happening bar, you'll be lucky to find a seat.  All of the college kids (and 20somethings) home for the long weekend are stuck in town until Sunday and cannot stand being home another minute.  In Deerfield, this seems to involve going to a tiny Main Street bar, talking loudly over loud country and hip hop.  This is not Kurt's fault, as he's never in.

Kurt's was actually as much up to the task as we could have hoped.  The server was a no-nonsense 20something herself, who while also fending off a couple of "hey we should get together"s also managed to be personable and forgiving with our questions about the menu, even as the jukebox exhorted the comforts of small town living.

As for the food, the cheese curds were served cornmeal style, which was a nice change of pace.  Gritty and hot, they were gone quickly.  JM's fried chicken sandwich patty was balanced nicely betwixt dry and greasy, with a high-quality tomato.  Although the untoasted bun made the whole thing a little bready. 

The flavor of the cheeseburger was good when it could be discerned. The patty could've used some seasoning, even just salt.  The cheese was plain Jane American and the pickles standard. 

Kurt's has fish fry on Fridays and Coke on the gun with Pepsi in cans.  They certainly seemed to have sold themselves to the college remnant of Deerfield, as well, though that's probably intermittent.  We're not driving to Deerfield to eat here again, but Kurt's could certainly enter a Deerfield rotation if one were required.
