| - I was in the mood for great beer, and RiverTowne definitely has that. They have an awesome selection of draught beers on their menu, although it's never entirely clear which ones they actually brew (the menu doesn't say, and the "replacement draughts"...who makes those?) We ordered several different brews, and I loved each one I tried.
On this visit, I figured I'd go for what I know they do well: pizza and fried food. The Blast Furnace pizza is delicious, with good but not heavy crust. The fries with cheese and bacon were guilt-inducing, but yummy. The fried shrimp were big and juicy and definitely a good value. While I have had some disappointing items here before, on this visit I enjoyed everything I tasted. By the time we finished eating, I was very full from food and beer and ready to roll out the door.
I really enjoyed the beer and food on this visit, but I have to comment on the service/prices aspect. The front of the beer menu we were given indicated a happy hour special during the time we were there. However, when the check came that discount was not reflected. When I asked the server, she indicated that the happy hour special was only valid "for the bar and the high-top tables", but that she could give us the price if we asked. I feel that is false advertising and not fair to your customers. If you want to offer happy hour, then have a specific policy in your menu or ask customers where they want to sit. You can't selectively price it.
That said, I will definitely be back for the beer, but will be more cautious about expecting any specials.
