| - Decided to check this place out on my day off for lunch. Sprocket is located inside whole foods, near the bakery. You can buy food in the hot food area and bring it in after you pay, or order from the restaurant. There are lots of beers on tap, including some from Modern Times Brewing! Good selection of wines too. In addition to happy hour M-F 4-6pm, there are daily specials.
Staff is friendly and food is tasty! I tried the cauliflower vegan nachos ($7, $5 on happy hour) and green chile braised short rib ($19). The nachos were very unique and flavorful. The cauliflower had a tempura fried light texture topped with avocado lime crema, chilies, lime, cilantro, and poco de gallo. Overall very balanced and refreshing, though a little greasier than I expected from the description of being "roasted" cauliflower.
The braised short rib was fork tender and flavorful! The green chile polenta was also tasty, but again, a little heavier than I expected. I liked the addition of pickled onions- the tangy flavor balanced the creaminess of the polenta and heaviness of the short rib.
I will definitely be back to try more beers and food options!
