| - Came here for the first time for dinner. We ordered the fried pickles appetizer, la flama blanca chicken sandwich with fries, and the portobello mushroom burger with a side of coleslaw.
What's Hot
- Quality of food. Hubby and I liked our food. It was delish. His flama blanca chicken sandwich had jalapeƱo slices and a spicy sauce. It had a kick and was not overwhelming. However, be aware if you're the type that likes your food hella spicy, this won't do it. There is malt vinegar at the table, so you can add that to your fries, tots, whatevs. My burger patty wasn't thin and cooked to order.
- Non mayo coleslaw. Dudes, it's cool to find a place where the coleslaw isn't made with mayo. Their coleslaw is made with a vinegar sauce and there are red onion slices in the coleslaw, too. Something different, yet delicious.
- Fried pickles. They use pickles from a local Burgh pickle company, which is delish. Their fried pickles aren't overly breaded, too, which I like. For me, if a fried dish is thickly battered, that tells me you're trying to hide something. These pickles are definitely sour, but have a nice flavor.
- Price. For the most part, their prices are reasonable and are reflective of their portions. For example, my burger was around $10. The fried pickles are pricey- around $7. Total for me and hubby was around $35, including tip.
- Menu variety. The menu options are decent. It's a one page menu. You're not overwhelmed with choices. They have a decent bar/drinks menu, too. It's a one small one page menu- a few wines, a handful of mixed drinks, and half the page is beer.
- Service. No complaints. The waitresses were nice, helpful, and attentive.
What's Not
- Layout. To be fair, many bars/taphouses in the Burgh are small. That brings its pros and cons. This place is no different. It's small and somewhat compact. There aren't many tables. It can get busy easy and when it does get busy, the sound will carry. By the time we left, this place was less than half full and already it was difficult to have a conversation. Be prepared to talk loudly and not be able to hear the conversation easily. Additionally, none of the tables seat more than 4 people. I don't recommend large groups. If that's an issue, call ahead to make a reservation.
- Dim. The inside is very dimly lit, so it's not easy to see.
- Parking. It's a small town area, so there aren't many parking options around when it's busy. Be prepared to parallel park in the neighborhood. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, but it's not the most convenient.
Final Answer
Willing to come back again, but not on the top of my list.
