I'll start with the good. The location is great as are their new digs. I love the new space as it definitely reminds me of a German beer garden. The atmosphere was also great to watch the Panthers playoff game. It wasn't too loud but it was also lively, which was perfect. Where this review veers south of 4 or 5 stars is with the Bauhaus food. I understand this is a brewery and food isn't necessarily their "thing" but it is offered so I shall review.
Let me first state that their food isn't bad - it's decent - I was just really hoping for more out of Olde Meck and left feeling a bit underwhelmed. We started out with the beer cheese Pretzel as an appetizer. The cheese was runnier than I expected and tasted a little bit too much like beer (I didn't know that could be possible!). I also like a Pretzel that is a bit more doughy as this was pretty typical of what you would buy from the grocery. I had the Teller Wurste sausages (Stiglmeier Gyula and Stiglmeier Bratwurst) with a side of Sauerkraut and Bratkartoffeln (German Potatoes). The Gyula was really good but the Bratwurst was just OK. The Sauerkraut was also really good but the potatoes were just OK. My wife ordered the Gouda Grilled Cheese with a side salad. She gave it a solid 3 stars but wasn't something she said she would remember a few months down the road.
Will i be back? Sure, but most likely only for the beer.
