| - we visited SanTan on a very busy afternoon, this past week, and despite the crowds, we received exceptional service all around.
we sat down and immediately ordered our appetizers and first drink(we wanted to get our order in before Happy Hour ended). within 5-6 minutes, our food was on the table, fresh and hot.
we had the pineapple habanero bbq wings(sweet and sticky, with the flavor, but not the heat, of habanero). I'd also requested two extra sides of hot sauce, expecting Frank's Red Hot...nope! I received what can only be assumed to be a house-made hot sauce. it was tangy, spicy(but not unbearable), and chock full of flavor and spices.
we also ordered the house-made cilantro hummus platter...replete with TONS of fresh, delicious beer bread(like pita, but more flavorful), tortilla chips(salty and good), plenty of kalamata olives, cucumbers, and grape tomatoes.
and the soft pretzels(served with nacho cheese and beer mustard) were great! tons of salt, a nice coating of butter, and the mustard was flavorful and delicious.
hubby ordered the special--Bayou Skewers--for his meal. WOW. charred, smoky, herby chicken, tomatoes, pearl onions, peppers, and CORN(omg yum), all skewered and served with a 'cajun aioli'(which was a bit bland...we added some of the aforementioned hot sauce, and that fixed it).
as for the beers...I started with Mr Pineapple(light, fresh, fruity...perfectly refreshing on a hot day), followed by the Nitron IPA(dark, hoppy, a bit bitter, but rich and delicious), and ended with the Gordo Stout(a little watery, but flavorful...chocolatey, coffee flavors).
overall, this was fantastic. our server was attentive(my husband's soda was always full) and friendly, and everything was delicious and prompt. definitely will be returning :)
