I will start this by saying I have not actually ever been to an English Pub - but I have been out to eat pretty much everywhere! I took my Gram and 2 daughters here for some lunch on a Wednesday.
The awesome:
*the bar is beautiful and the decore is really cool. Neat mismatched chairs, tables and benches.
*the food! We shared a Mediterranean salad and Braised Beef & Ale with bubble & squeak, one daughter had the mashed taters & gravy and the other had a cheeseburger & fries. The fries were SO good! I cannot wait to go back and order the fish & chips. I can only imagine how delish they would be. The braised beef was beyond good and my daughter raved about the mashed potatoes (apparently they were the best she has ever had, period.) The salad was large and the grilled chicken was flavorful.
*the price! We got out of there for under $30! nice!
*the server was super friendly and wonderful. Not too chatty but enough to be friendly and establish rapport quickly.
*the water - sounds silly, I know. But my Gram commented on how you could tell it was filtered and not plain ol' nasty AZ tap water. If it makes Gram happy - I'm happy.
The OK:
Took awhile for the food to come out - but it was totally worth it!
I cant wait to bring hubby back to meet up some friends for drinks & food! What a great, casual hang out!
