| - This place is truly a hidden gem burried all the way east down in the Rogue Valley area. Lucky for me I live in the area so my only regret is Why I never checked this place out sooner!
As we pull up to the packed parking lot (always a good sign) we are lucky to snag a spot as someone was pulling out otherwise be prepared to park on the boardering streets. Definitely make reservations!! (learned this the hard way on a previous attempt) The pub was packeddd! As we entered I didn't see a hostess but the bartender was kind enough to point us in the right direction, telling us to head to the main dining room which was just off to the left. There I saw the hostess desk.
Our table for our party of four was waiting for us with a reserved sign placed in the centre. The dining room itself is rather small but cozy equipped with a wood burning fire place. Dim lighting, wall papered walls with framed paintings mostly of Black Dogs and aged wooden tables complete the decor.
The menu contains a good selection of traditional pub fare, a creative sandwich line up, health conscious options and hearty quality mains. The also have daily specials and desserts to keep things lively.
To start we decide to order a Pizza (changes daily) from the specials menu.
Smoked Chicken Pizza - Golden crisp crust, with a smokey bbq base, ample amounts of gooey melty cheese, carmelized onions and tender strips of smoked chicken totally knocked our socks off. A great start to a fab meal!
I'm a definite sandwich lover and after seeing there impressive line up I knew a wanted to try one! But there was one winner that definitely drew me in!
Smokehouse Pulled Pork Sandwich + sweet potato fries -Smoked In House for 16 hours tossed with carmelized onions and guiness bbq sauce on a toasted 9 grain ciabatta bun
First off this was a massive a sandwich and no skimping on meat they definitely piled it on. The meat was soo tender and juicy and you could definitely taste depth of smokiness with a good coating of that delicious guiness bbq sauce and those yummy carmelized onions. I was in heaven! Sweet potato fries were also pretty good!
Other orders at the table included
Shepherd's pie + fresh cut fries - Huge pie, quality ingredients with rich filling topped with creamy whipped potatoes. And those fresh cut fries are a must try also!
Bangers and Mash - Grilled English sausages, house made mashed potatoes and gravy, served with rustic baked beans
Needless to say this plate was left spotless.
Crunchy Spinach Salad + Grilled Steak -Baby spinach, housemade sunflower raspberry vinaigrette,toasted walnuts, crispy bacon, craisins, mandarin oranges, bermuda onions, goat cheese and oven roasted portbello mushrooms
Hearty salad with fresh quality ingredients and perfectly cooked medium steak
For Desserts we ordered the Carmel Crunch Cake and Chocolate Banana Cake. Again both cakes were Hugeee slices. We loved both the cakes moist delicious gorgous just yummmm!
Overall Fantastic Food, Hugee portions, and Top notch friendly service! Far passed our expectations, I can definitely see why this place is always packed! If there was ever a reason to treck all the way to the East end I believe this is it! But definitely make reservations first!
FYI Live entertainment every Thursday & Saturday @ 9:00pm
A full out band was performing oldies and country music on the bar side and few people even broke out into dance.
