| - The ambiance of this place is pretty good. It has the typical sports bar feel and lots of TVs. I haven't been here in summer, so I have always asked to be seated on the patio where you can see all the TVs if you're interested and still hear the person you're with if conversation is more what you're after.
The food was great! I am a sucker for a great burger and a great beer. Definitely one of my favorite burgers anywhere. The best selling point for me here is that that actually get it right on the cook! I cannot stand an over-cooked burger (read: well-done) and usually have a very hard time finding a place that can consistently get it right! I haven't been disappointed here yet whether I am in the mood for "medium well" to "still mooing" and anything in between. I would like to point out that the burgers are a bit pricier than your average bar burger.
I have had the french dip here as well, and it was better than any of my other recent experiences in other places. I was about to swear off ordering french dip, but I might be convinced to hold on a bit longer.
The beer list was great! Definitely something I think anyone can find something tasty on. I love being able to enjoy a tasty burger while enjoying a range of IPAs so I had a nice section of good beer to choose from.
However, here's my complaint... chilled glasses!
I realize that if you're just ordering a domestic lager from one of the Big Boys, then a chilled glass may be preferred. I mean, hey, those things haven't much flavor to begin with!
But, when you have quality beers on the list, please honor my request for a NON chilled glass! Also, when ordering bottles, I request a glass with my beer. I have had to Remind my waitress several times that I have been waiting on a glass, and please oh please can you find me one that isn't chilled. Nope, I usually hold the empty glass in my hands to warm it up before I pour my beer.
I love places that have a great beer selection for those of us who enjoy craft beer, but please know that there are appropriate ways to serve different things. It's not a deal breaker though, and I guess I can wait a few for things to warm up a bit before I start consuming.
All in all, I do like this place and will return whenever I'm in the area, but the waitstaff can definitely use a bit of improvement in terms of friendliness, helpfulness, attitude.
