Before we break down the food, let me say the service was great, and the space is nice and clean. There's a nice size patio out front, but today it was so hot we opted to go inside.
If you're into craft brews, they have a huge selection. I'm not a drinker so on to the food! For an app, 3 of us split the fried avacado bites at the recommendation of our server. They were unique and lightly breaded and paired with a cool bang bang sauce. I liked the different options offered here and would definitely try the gouda cheese sticks next.
I ordered their take on a BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with the seasonal salad side option (Mediterranean Chickpea Salad) and Poppyseed Apple Coleslaw. Side salads were good but came in these little jars that, while they were "trendy" just were too difficult to eat out of. A small carafe would've been fine. The bacon on my burger was perfect. I was disappointed there was no bunless option (mainly a lettuce wrap!) because I prefer to not waste my daily carbs on bread. (Give me the good stuff!)
Overall I have to say, really good, but not mind blowing. It's a convenient local burger joint that will satisfy your burger craving and strays from standardized chains, which is nice! If I'm back in the area or looking for something close by but not in Birkdale, I will certainly be back.
