| - This is a tough one! I am puzzled by the nasty reviews - but after reading them, kind of understand! This place has a great vibe, but it could be better. You can watch hockey (or in our case, the Zamboni then figure skating lessons), the beer is plentiful and cold, and the food was really good! The pretzels appetizer scores a 12 on a 10 point scale, and the hummus was delicious. The fry sauce is tasty, and goes great on much more than just the fries! At our table alone, we had that, plus a turkey burger (HUGE and delicious); the flat iron steak skewars which were cooked perfectly, lean and really flavorful, and the Asian salad (and the dressing was outstanding and I swear, there were two whole chicken breasts - not processed meat). The bathrooms were clean, and the prices were reasonable. I can totally see how this place could become an easy hand-out.
On service - our server had ZERO personality. She delivered good service, and allowed one of us to "sample" the salad dressing beforehand, which was nice, but seriously flatlined in the conversation and true "customer" zone. She did have another big table, but really, is that an excuse?
We'll be back, and it is certainly worth a try. We were there for lunch, so I am curious what it is like for legit happy hour or dinner, or even later. It's a cool idea. If you go, Order the pretzels. Period.
