Here's what you need to know about Brockton General. It's a small space, subtly illuminated with only about 10 or so tables. Though I've heard it can get rammed, on my first visit it was very easy to find a table. The menu du jour is hand-written on a paper scroll against their east-most wall. I would like to ascribe this choice to feng shui, but that might be presumptuous.
The menu changes daily and is very limited. Perfect for those who hate too many options, but this could be limiting for some. Since I was given the option I obviously ordered the pork terrine served with sour cherries. What can I say, I'm a sucker for terrine. It was soft and savoury and the sour cherries added a nice tartness to it. Their bourbonnade is like a bourbon sour but a little sweeter, and not a bad way to wash down this appetizer.
For my main I went with the papardelle with bacon and an egg york on top. This was a winner. I pretty much devoured it in seconds. This is an excellent spot for a date or quiet dinner with friends. I recommend.
Obligatory Title Pun: For those about to BROCK, we salute you.
Menu Readability: The menu is featured in spectacular penmanship on a brown paper scroll on the wall of the restaurant.
Need to mention: There's a nice little patio out front too.
What this place teaches me about myself: I like my meat FORCED.
