| - When it comes to Allen's, I'm pretty predictable. Sit me down, pour me a beer, bring me a burger. Called it, great night, done.
The beer list is great, the crowd is a generous age range of regulars and others, the servers know their stuff, and the food is stick-to-your-bones good. I've sat with people who opted for the fish and chips, the salmon, and the curry (complete with chapati); all were good when I sneakily extended my fork across the table towards their plates for a sample.
But the burger, the burger, is what satisfies my occasional (fierce) craving for beef. As per the menu: every week Allen's gets a whole Angus steer delivered, which they butcher in-house. The burger patties are made from this, no fillers, no fancy-pants additions, no sides. I once ordered the fries as an add-on and they weren't worth the precious stomach real estate. Stick to the beer and burgers and it's a foolproof combo, folks.
Yelp note: Allen's has A/C in the summer (phew!), but if you can stand the heat, and can find the space...the back patio is a true gem and oasis.
