| - Service/Atmosphere-Arrived around 7:00 on a Friday night and was greeted by a friendly bearded man who happen to be the bartender, and my guess the owner. There is lots to do and see as they have several TVs, pool tables, shuffle boards, darts and casino electronic games and jukebox. All NEW & nice looking!
The place is big, lots of seating in & out and for a small 7pm crowd you'd think they'd have a server there by at least 5 to take care of the patrons. But man, did that bartender move fast!! I watched him as handled the bar, the diners and the live band set up-impressive!! When our server arrived, she was extremely attentive, and friendly. They were all very accommodating to our request! Out of a couple of food options, and they offered alternative options, even working the price down.
Beer-I only ordered a Michelob Ultra as I thought "Did I just pay $5 for a simple Michelob Ultra? Thankfully I did not, $3! My husband ordered a Lumber Yard and liked it a lot. The Craft beer is not a small portion either, you get your monies worth for sure!
Food-We ordered the Boardwalk Fries. I was told they're reminiscent to Fries on the East Coast, covered with Malt Vinegar, Ketchup and Cajun Seasonings. Great I thought! But they were somewhat greasy and not crispy and could've used more time frying as they were soft still.
I ordered the Grilled Coconut Curry Chicken Sandwich and was delightfully surprised by its flavor!!! The chicken was grilled to perfection, moist and juicy and smothered in warm curry sauce and the micro greens were a perfect compliment to it. All on a perfectly toasted bun! (Try it)
My husband had the 5Spot Craft burger and he was in burger heaven!!! It was a HUGE hunk of beef, hand shaped patty with some kind of sweet & smoky flavor to it, and with just the right amount of BBQ sauce to it. He was totally lovin it and only gave me a small bite to try!!! He also had a side of pasta salad, which was yummy.
Conclusion-Everything tastes homemade, except the side of hummus. It was on the cold side and so was the 2pieces of baguette slices it came with. I would have preferred those to be warmed up or toasted at least. Which is why I'd give this place 4 stars for little details like that. Along with the long waits for our food.
The live band was pretty poppin though and the food & darinks were pretty good too!!! I'm sure they're just going through "growing pains" and we'll be back for sure!!!
