The average rating is due to the lack of ambience. It's very loud, the tables are too small and close together. If you go request a booth in the bar. They also don't accept reservations so be prepared to wait on busy nights.
They have an excellent beer selection and our server was very knowledgeable and helped us pick great beers.
The portions are very large. I had the soup and half grilled cheese special. You have your choice of soups and I picked the classic combo of tomato and grilled cheese. The tomato soup was very good and satisfying. The grilled cheese was larger than a half sandwich. Grilled sour dough, gooey cheese and bacon done to perfection.
My husband started with a cup of chorizo chili. Excellent choice. His bacon cheeseburger came medium rare as requested. The French fries were pretty average.
They have an interesting menu and I'm looking forward to going again. We'll ask for a booth in the bar.
