| - Okay, so I had never heard of Dive Bar and Grill in Lawrenceville. Since I had never heard of the place, I had no expectations about the décor, food, drinks, etc... This past Friday, after a visit to the Home Show, my daughter Muff, my sister and my friend Stephanie had a chance to stop by the restaurant. We were on our way to another restaurant when my sister decided that we should visit Dive bar and Grill, even though we had already passed the place. I had to turn around several blocks later to go to Dive after my sister had an epiphany. (%^*$!)
Anywho, I turned back around and found parking next to the restaurant. We walked right in and were able to find seating immediately. Apparently, it's a seat yourself type of place and our waitress said that we just missed a crowd. Whew! We were starving and were not willing to wait to eat anywhere. (Somewhat stupid, because it was a Friday night after 9:00 during prime business hours.)
The décor is intimate and cozy. Exposed brick, chandeliers made out of reclaimed wine bottles and booths. Very important to me, modern and clean bathroom. Definitely an upgraded dive bar! My sister ordered an appetizer to share with the table which was what looked like a fried large wonton skin with pulled pork, salsa, chopped scallions and cheese on top. It was pretty tasty. Our waitress advised us that the food portions were rather large, but we were like, "Yeah, they all say that!". I ordered the Salmon BLT ANDTHENSOME sandwich wrap, my sister ordered Alabama Slammer burger, my friend ordered the Macho Man Reuben sandwich and Muff ordered the Hometown salad bowl. With our sandwiches and wrap, we also received homemade potato chips and fresh-cut fries.
Let me tell you something, that Salmon BLT ANDTHENSOME sandwich wrap was scrumptious. The salmon had a Thai chile glaze. Mmmmm good! The Macho Man Reuben sandwich was hu-ru-gi-lous (I know it's not a word!) and the meat was nice and lean. (I traded half of my wrap for a third of the reuben.) My sister said the Alabama Slammer burger with a brown sugar spice rub, bacon, cheese and onion straws was delicious. (She could only stuff herself with half and had to take home the rest.) My daughter Muff couldn't finish her Hometown salad bowl either, but said that it was good too.
What a delightful surprise and a nice funky joint that we will return to in the future. I wish that I had a spot like this closer to my home. Boo-hoo!
