| - Where can you find a juicy and delicious burger, friendly staff and kitchsy atmosphere? Kickstand!
I was really intrigued about Kickstand so when a business contact suggested lunch here I jumped at the chance. What I walked into was a really relaxed vibe with bicycles all around - in their menu, on the premises, etc. I like it! Plus, they are working through some great events that will benefit local nonprofits through this bicycle feel, so that's just grand with me. So, I bet you're wondering about the food, aren't you? Well, here we go...
Beer selection: Nice selection overall...lots of seasonal brews, too! Specials looked pretty super, too.
Fixed Gear Burger: Their juicy classic cheddar cheeseburger cooked to absolute perfection - I had a bit of pink in my burger which made me practically drool all over the table. Total noms. Plus, the cheese was super duper melty - total win. With these two qualities, plus a toasted bun I was a very, very happy camper.
Sweet potato tots: I love me a tot and these have potential. They are eponymous: sweet potato tater tots and served with a mapley buttery dipping sauce. I just wish that they were a bit saltier - some kosher sea salt added to the mix would be delicious, as I'm a huge fan of the sweet/salty combo. If Kickstand boosts the flavor/richness/saltiness and I'll have to restrain myself from turning into a tater tot.
Parfait desserts: These were on the house as they asked my dining partner and me to give them a try. There were three kinds: chocolate brownie, strawberry cheesecake and key lime. As I'm such a sugar head as it is, these were pretty damn tasty. Creamy parfaits (no, not yogurt) topped with deliciousness of all sorts. My favorite was actually the key lime. These are listed for $3 each and they are a really generous and sweet (ha-pun) end to the meal.
I truly enjoyed Kickstand and I'm very much looking forward to coming back.
