| - My wife and I were out for the afternoon, looking for lunch, and wondered if Don Pablo's was still here. We pulled in to see it was a new place and decided to give it a try. Immediately saw that Industry has a nice atmosphere, and a unique theme (circa prohibition). Service was immediate, and they had a great selection of beers and whiskey. My wife wasn't sure which was which, and it's a great option that they offer up to three beer samples! The menus were unique and offered a decent variety, although perhaps a little too clever for someone just looking a standard burger. We ordered a nachos appetizer which arrived a little burnt, but oh well, just pick around the burnt chips, right? But then our main courses arrived within 5 minutes of receiving the appetizer, which is a bad timing issue they'll need to work out. Having both arrive that soon apart means you have to decide which to eat before something goes cold. My wife barely touched her chicken salad, later opting to box it to avoid wasting the appetizer. That should never happen. My burger was okay, but some of the toppings were burnt, as were the fries, which appeared to be just the crispy remnants at the bottom of the bin. I had to borrow ketchup from another table, as the service was a bit lax, which I suppose is to be expected with a new place. Besides these things, I had hoped that maybe just digging into a good burger with barbecue sauce would save lunch for me. Unfortunately, even the barbecue sauce was weirdly sour as opposed to tangy or sweet. The manager swung by with the standard inquiry, and we only mentioned the meals coming right after the appetizer. She offered us a "friends and family" discount, which was honestly appropriate. Unfortunately, we weren't pleased enough to recommend Industry Public House to our friends and family...or to Yelp.
