In my unofficial quest to try every pulled pork sandwich in the city, we came to the Blake House for some pub styled eats.
We started with Irish Nachos and chicken wings with house made bbq sauce. The wings were pretty forgettable, however the nachos were very interesting as instead of nacho corn chips they were made of slices of potatoes that were deepfried to a thicker cut crispy kettle chip basis and then loaded up with stout beef chili. They were heavy sitting but let me tell you, they were delicious! Full marks!
The pulled pork sandwich receives decent marks as well. There was a healthy amount of nice and tender pork on the bun. The sauce was pretty average but well applied. Only part that really lost me was the "Tangy Red Cabbage Slaw" which came alongside and just tasted like red cabbage and vinegar.
The place inside has a nice feel for an average pub vibe. Its all very clean polished which bodes well for it. I like that they give tables of 4 to groups of 2 people instead of splitting the tables up in efforts of having more people but more crampedness.
The servers were nice and seemed relatively on point although could be a bit more proactive in following up with checking if we need more drinks or condiments, etc. Bonus points to this place having parking for $3 in a garage lot next door, although I wouldn't be surprised if they hit capacity frequently.
Overall, I'd say give it a go and try the nachos if you do!
