| - Yooooooo I gotta admit, I had low expectations for this joint. Why? Cause it looks like an average pub kinda joint that offers so so food. I should've known better cause many of us know that some of the sketchiest joints have some of the best food, some of the dirtiest places have bomb food, and some of the average looking joints have food to die for.
Some of my coworkers decided on this joint at the last meeting I didn't attend, so I was skeptical cause I didn't have a say. But I'm so glad they chose this place, one person in particular who I found out is a foodie.
Our waitress was really fast, efficient and attentive. Some of us had complicated orders, asked a million questions, had food allergies, and took our time ordering. She was a pro.
There were so many good looking dishes, based on yelp pics and food that sound good, based on the descriptions of dishes on the menu.
I didn't eat at all today, so I saved up all my calories and fat for a burger. The Astropub burger was slamming!!! I love pimento cheese. It was creamy and cheesy. My burger was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Was so juicy. The peppered bacon and grilled onions had this burger jumpin!! The fries were perfect. If you've read any of my previous reviews, you know I'm picky about my fries; crispy on the outside, soft and potatoey on the inside.
The pics of the baked Gouda Mac and cheese looked really good, but I wasn't impressed after taking my first bite. I've made Mac and cheese with Gouda before and it wasn't the best but slightly better than what I had here, so I had to take a star off for that. It came out warm. But one of my coworkers who had it said it was great when it was hot but started to lose its appeal when it cooled down. Maybe that was the issue.
I'd still recommend this joint and I'll definitely go back with the fam.
