| - this place is pretty average.
i've been twice and both times i haven't really been impressed.
the first time, i got the blackened chicken linguini.
sub par, i felt. the sauce wasn't very flavorful and i just thought it was pretty blah-tasting. i also had the northern light lager -- which they brew in house i guess. also not really impressive. felt like a beer i could get anywhere.
we went back last night to give it a second chance.
we shared the idaho nachos -- a big plate of waffle fries smothered in cheese, bacon, tomatoes, chives and sour cream. this was actually pretty good considering that when i make mashed potatoes, i add everything aforementioned. also, it was a HUGE plate and it pretty much filled me up.
along with the nachos, we shared a cheeseburger with bacon. even though i only had to conquer half a burger, i still didn't manage to eat all of it. not because it was so huge but because we ordered it medium-well and it came way over well-done. definitely wasn't to my taste. we had the burger and nachos come at the same time though, so the potatoes kept me from leaving hungry.
to note, all sandwiches only come with either potato chips or coleslaw. getting waffle fries or mashed potatoes costs an extra 1.50$. getting a soup or salad to start costs 2.50$. i feel like at a burger place, fries should come standard.
3 stars for being mediocre:
service was good and the manager was actually very attentive,
the idaho nachos were delicious, heart clogging and huge,
and a point for being part brewery.
blah food though. it probably won't be on my list of places to frequent.
