| - I really want to like Dillinger's. We live in the neighborhood and find ourselves considering it often for a quick bite and burger. Each time we've gone, the waitstaff has been nice, albeit distracted by tending to the bar area in addition to our table. Other reviewers have praised the burgers and I'll second that. I ordered a veggie burger on our first visit -- when our food was delivered, I took a bite and knew it wasn't a veggie burger but kept on going. So good.
Be warned. They do have fifty beers on tap. But they're frequently behind the seasonal ball with taps that were relevant two months ago. The last time I was there, I ordered a beer, only to have the waitstaff come back, apologize, and say they were out. We went through this twice more, dipping into my B-team beer choices before finding one they actually had on tap. I'm not a beer snob, but if a large beer selection is going to be your calling card, you have to own it and not let that one thing slide. Because of this, we now think twice before walking over there.
Second warning: If you are not a fan of death metal, just know this is what will probably be playing when you get there and probably be playing when you leave. We now know to pay attention to what's playing when you walk in because there will be NO variety in the music. Which may be great for some, but not for us.
On the plus side, it's never hard to get a table at Dillinger's. Possibly because it's a specific clientele that's frequenting this tasty burger joint.
