| - It pays to know a local. We came here at the suggestion of my cousin, who lives in the area. We arranged to meet here after a text exchnage.
The beer was fine. I had the flight, which allowed me to taste several of them. My favorite was the Hop Dog, a double IPA. Other reviews mention that the beer is not as cold as it could or should be. Good point Yelpers....
The food was fine as well. Our group of four, had Mango-Hot wings, poppers and garlic-parm fries as appetizers. I thought the wings were not very meaty and the sauce just tasted OK. The poppers were fine. The garlic-parm fries had enough garlic to make you vampire-proof. My wife had the basic burger but changed her side to the side salad. Later, she was talking about wanting to go back for that salad, so I guess it was good. I had the Herd's burger, which from their menu and website, looks like it has it's roots in some Texas burger joint. I asked for medium, but the burger is subjected to some special meat-chopping-griddle-cooking process they said it can only be prepared well done. OK.. fine. The burger was decent. There was something spicy. Not sure if it was the mustard or the pepper-jack cheese I asked for. I upgraded to onion rings. That cost another $1.50.
We had a really good server named Aaron who took excellent care of us and even shook our hands when we left. The dog themed ambiance is kinda cool and the food and beer are fine. I know that's not exactly a glowing endorsement, but service like that gets them an extra star and a half.
