| - We came upon this place by accident, drawn in by the awning that boasted burgers, bourbon, and apple pie. Yes, yes, and yes! It was a Thursday afternoon and the place was pretty quiet, there were a few scattered tables of lunching ladies. We were seated by the window where we could clearly see Melt across the street; people smashed against one another, fighting for air, dying just to get a grilled cheese. The fools! Our server was defiantly one of the best I have ever had, he was conversational and helpful, willing to point out signature dishes and what he thought was delicious. In the two times I've had their food I've been able to try all three of their titular items. Let me break it down:
1. The burgers- I've had both the beef and falafel persuasions. The beef is everything a carnivore wants in a greasy, juicy burger. The falafel had a fabulous salsa on top of it, but the patty itself was a little dry. All burgers come with a side and I tried both types of potato croquettes- if you like sweet potatoes as much as I do, you'll die when you taste theirs. The other kind (honey sage) are delectable as well.
2. The bourbon- If there's one thing I know a lot about it's booze, specifically whiskey and bourbon. I have had my fair share of Manhattans and the one I had on this particular visit was the best I have ever imbibed. I cannot even put into words how fantastic it was; it showcased our server's immaculate bartending skills.
3. The Pie- Oh my goodness, the pie. I usually don't order dessert. I'm more of a second helping kind of gal rather than a save room for dessert type person. This pie-apple cranberry- was amazing. It tasted like butter and sugar and caramel and apples and America and freedom. It made me want to stand up and testify. A person having the worst of days could take one bite of this pie and be cured of their foul mood in seconds, I am sure of this.
I strongly urge everyone to check this place out, you shan't be disappointed.
