The consistent five star reviews do not lie. Throw this one in the pile.
Outside: cool retro and modern at the same time - love the logo of the goat eating a sandwich - outdoor patio seating to the right.
Inside: to the right = six beers on tap (including one from NODA = Coco Loco Porter and Natty Greene Buckshot Amber). Straight ahead - the counter - order and take a number (just let them know if you want a beer/drink from the cooler). Back and to the left - the wine and beer section - plenty of local favorites, microbrew sodas including Virgil's and Abita root beer and San Pellegrino. Look up and you'll see a four foot wide border made up of six pack holders. Great art work and mix and match tables and chairs.
To eat: Goat Greens ($8) - awesome salad with spicy pecans and fresh goat cheese on greens with white balsamic dressing - savory and refreshing at the same time. Spicy Tandoori Chicken sandwich on flatbread ($8.25) - on the sandwich - julienned veggies, fresh basil and cilantro with pickled onions. Really good - the flat bread is a bit on the thin side and the cilantro and basil fight each other a little bit - one or the other might be better. The side of veggie spaghetti grilled with olive oil and herbs is a really clever, delicious and healthy side. My kids had chicken skewers and grilled cheese ($3 each) and a side salad ($2); they cleaned their plates like Hoovers.
So, we went on a Saturday when the line was long and steady and only two were visible in the open kitchen. Did I mind waiting 20 minutes for my food? When I have a frosty Natty Greene's in my hand, and the food tastes so good, the answer is NO.
Can't wait to go back and try the Shaved Ribeye....
