The remodel is very nice. So are the owners and staff. Unfortunately they need to get their act together. The burgers and fries are small and not close to what you would expect coming from a restaurant that carries the American Tavern name.
They literally put half of a slice of tomato on the burger and the thick heart of the lettuce head on the burger. The fries need help. Either they are using the wrong oil or cooking them at the wrong temperature. The portion was small. Come on they are fries. Give me a big pile of fries. We also ordered a patty melt. They used so much butter that it was dripping from the rye. The burger patty was small and again same issue with the fries.
Here is the worst part... The chef was so hot in the kitchen, which you can see now since they put in a window that he was sweating out of control. The last thing I want to see is a chef using a rag to wipe sweat every 2 minutes. He even used hit sleeve amd his apron. He pulled it up from his waste to wipe the sweat. He needs to wear a chefs hat to obsorb the sweat and the owners need to pump cold air i to the kitchen if it's that hot. Trust me, I was not the only one that noticed his behavior. It wasn't even a hot night. What's going to happen when it's 80+ outside.
I'll give them another chance since it is new and they just opened. They do need to work on portion size, proper method of cooking fries and the CHEF'S HYGIENE.
