I wasn't expecting too much when i walked into the Boardwalk Pub last week. I'd been there before, but that was years ago and i hadn't been that impressed.
When we sat down i had one thing on my mind "NACHOS PLEASE!!" Shock and disappointment overcame me when i could not find nachos on the menu! Is this a PUB? Pffftt... fine then. I'll take the tortilla chips and cheesy salsa stuff. It wasn't really what i was craving. But it was okay.
What really made my night was the STUPENDOUS Caesar salad. "Oh come on Cheri" you say "It's just a salad". No no, kind yelpers. It was more. The dressing was so good! The croutons, yummmy! And the bacon, OH the bacon! It was not fake, it was not bits. It was good bite sized pieces of deliciousness. So when you got a good forkful of salad, you could appreciate the bacon-y goodness with every bite.
I wouldn't give this place a 4 star just for a salad though. But my bf ordered the rib and wing combo with sweet potato fries. I tried some ribs and they were really good. Flavourful with fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Also, the sweet potato fries were fried up perfectly. Nice and crispy. And the sauce that came with them was good too.
The atmosphere here is a bit blah. I'm sure it's much better in the summer, and the patio looks awesome. Very big, with a great location next to the beach.
The food will definitely bring be back here again to try some more.
