| - It's been quite a while since I was at Church Brew Works and my visiting Aunt and Uncle suggested it, since it is very close to where I live.
We arrived at 1:30 on a Saturday afternoon and surprisingly the place was more than half full. My Uncle ordered a flight and was disappointed that there were no stouts or stout-like beers amongst the offerings. I ordered a root beer, and guess what, no root (birch) beer. Wah wah!
My Uncle got a bowl of onion soup and pierogies, my Aunt (I am apologizing as I write this) ordered the Pittsburgh salad, and I ordered the quinoa salad. I think of the three, my Uncle got the best lunch. The pierogies are an appetizer but he received a fair number and he said they were v. good, along with the soup. The Pittsburgh salad was the same as any salad you could get in any bar in Pittsburgh and at $17.50, severely overpriced.
My guinoa salad was a huge disappointment. Quinoa was a garnish not the star. The "mixed greens" were nearly all iceberg lettuce with a few v. small pieces of spinach. There were about a teaspoon of corn and a teaspoon of black beans and about 6 grape tomatoes cut in half along with a few pieces of onion. The "dressing" was about 8 dots around the plate. So the salad was dry. This was $13.50, again not especially tasty and overpriced.
Next time I will stick to the buffalo meatloaf, which really is quite good.
Service was good, she was capable but nothing spectacular. Church Brew Works makes good beer, it makes predominantly mediocre, expensive beer with a few stars on the menu.
