| - To be fair, this place is undergoing the growing pains of a newly-opened restaurant. The good news is that Avon has a non-chain restaurant whose proprietors want to bring something new to the city.
Came here with a large party for lunch on a Saturday, just a couple days after they opened their doors. We were able to be seated immediately, thankfully. The indoor dining area has plenty of seating, which is nice. The decor seems to be an upgrade over the previous incarnation, including TVs hanging from the walls throughout the dining area.
The beer menu is craft-happy, and features five of ABC's own creations. I will admit that I did not order one, as they had Southern Tier Pumking on tap. My profile pic should explain the rest. I did have a sip of the Pale Ale, and it had a nice full flavor, and definitely tasted like a Pale Ale should.
The food menu looks very appealing, with many interesting items to choose from. For apps, we tried the "totchoes", which were tator tots done nacho-style. We also tried the soft pretzel bites. Both were to be served with beer cheese, but the cheese didn't seem to be house-made, and the waitress admitted as such. This was a tad disappointing, as was the serving size for both plates, considering the price. For the main, I went with the French Dip burger, which sounded a little better on paper than it was in reality. They were served with a side of shoestring fries and a deli pickle spear.
Everything is made fresh to order, which is great, but the results from the kitchen were uneven. One order was brought to the table wrong twice, and another burger was overdone on first try. However, the kids mac & cheese dish was pretty tasty, and the kids were not happy that the parents were stealing bites from their plates.
One of the three owners, Matthias, came to our table and spoke with us about our dining experience. He removed one of the apps from our bill because they took so long coming out from the kitchen, and may have comped my wife's burger as well (I believe). We discussed how they were still getting the kinks worked out, which we understood. Hopefully for ABC, they work them out quick enough so that they can establish themselves in a location that has not had much recent success (on the corner of Detroit and 611 in the French Creek district). We will check back in a couple of months to see how they're doing.
