I had the pulled pork, pineapple panini. I went for the fries/salad split for sides, and that option was only a $1 upgrade I believe. The whole thing was about $15 which was pretty good value. Really nice taste on the pork, and I could tell it was properly slow-cooked. I don't like ham and pineapple pizza, but here the pineapple worked well. Fries were fresh cut, and a decent mixed green salad.
I recall someone else at our table wasn't quite as happy with their dish as I was with mine, but it was something different. The dessert we shared was quite good though.
I was there for their trivia night, which was well run, but only moderately attended. It could deserve more people, since it was good fun and along with the quality food. The service was very good as well.
According to their website, they try to source their produce locally. Very well priced too, as a most mains are right around the $15 range.
