Whoda thunk that a chain restaurant would serve some of the best chowder I've ever had.
We decided to take a drive to Akron on an unusually warm November day to check out the newest brew pub in the area. As a national chain, I didn't expect much...I was wrong.
The place was hopping and they told us to expect a 20-minute wait. No problem we planned to enjoy one of their branded brews while waiting. But we didn't have a chance as we were paged in less that five minutes.
Our server, Matt, appeared immediately and gave us a rundown of their own beers plus several from local breweries. I ordered their Piranha Pale Ale and my wife had the Harvest Hefeweizen. Both were tasty.
I've had a tease for clam chowder for months so I decided to try theirs along with their pepperoni personal pizza (don't tell the trainer). My wife ordered the Back and Bleu Burger.
The chowder was the best I've had in years and the pizza was excellent. My wife's burger was also first-rate. You can't go wrong with any of these.
The service was excellent. Although the place was packed we didn't have to wait for anything.
We'll be back.
