| - Now I was a bit hesitant to try this place because, yes, believe it or not, I'm not too crazy about deep fried food, which was what their menu mainly offered. What I mean is I don't go looking for it. Mhmm, go ahead blast me now. Anyways! I wanted to give it a try because my boyfriend loves crispy/crunchy/deep fried goodness and I thought why not just give it a shot?
We didn't order any drinks though because we were solely interested in their food. We ordered the briik dog, fried chicken, deep fried mac n cheese balls, and the avocado and bacon waffle sandwich. Oh my pearl, it was all godlike. Every bite, there was a tear of joy. I really loved the briik dog (their take on a corn dog), and apparently my boyfriend told me it's longanisa! Longanisa is a type of Filipino sausage that has a more of a sweet kick to it than other sausages.
My favorite was the deep fried mac n cheese balls served with a marinara sauce. I thought it was strange at first, but wow! So crispy, so cheesy, so saucy when dipped in marinara. Next up was the fried chicken. This appetizer was their best seller as well and I can see why. Super crispy peppery exterior and a generous amount of drumsticks/wings. My least favorite had to be the avocado and bacon waffle sandwich. It was still good! But the other dishes were just too awesome. I guess I wasn't too crazy about the syrup on the sandwich, but that's just me.
Service was very attentive: constant checking on us, refilled our waters, chatted with us etc. It's definitely a smaller joint and I can see this place getting jam packed easily on a typical weekend night. I went fairly early, so I was able to snag a table. They play a lot of 90s/2000s music with matching decor as well. I spied some Spice Girls posters, and picture frames of Dawson's Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast. Ah, back in the day huh?.
Really nice concept, great service, cool music (I'm a 90s/2000s kid anyways!), bomb bomb food. I really recommend ordering a bunch of dishes to share and go with a small group! Love this place, I think they will be a successful resto-bar.
