| - This felt like another place where the hype may have overpromised, and it just did not live up to it.
When I arrived 10 minutes before opening on a Saturday in the middle of winter, I thought for sure I was going to be first, but I was one of the last parties to be seated, with a party of two (TIP: if your whole party isn't there, they will not seat you). The ambiance is very old timey, with definite hipster undertones. Service is good, but pretty unremarkable.
I ordered the fried chicken sandwich that came with guacamole and tomato sauce (which I got on the side) on a biscuit bun. The fried chicken was good and not overcooked, moist on the inside and crispy on the outside (what put me off, was the large pieces at the end which were just fried batter with no meat). The biscuit was fluffy, but not substantial enough for the sandwich at all, it seemed more like the piece of bread that goes under fried food to absorb the wet oil. The tomato sauce taste like blended canned tomatoes, so I'm really glad I got it on the side, it would have make the whole sandwich way too wet, and the guacamole just seemed like your standard guac.
The coffee is done in a french press, so coffee connoisseurs should be happy, but as someone who wants the coffee to flow freely with breakfast, I was not as happy by the limited french press deliverings.
Would I go back...probably only if someone else wanted to go...
