| - To me Dive was like buying generic Cocoa Puffs versus name brand; it tastes almost exactly the same, but there is something just a little off. You really can't put your finger on it but there is the slightest difference. Well, that's how DIVE was to me. It was just left of great. The service was great; our waitress rocked, and the atmosphere is good, although it is a small place, but there was something about the food....It was good, very good in fact, but there was something that held it back from being great.
We started with zucchini fries and chicken poppers. They were good; the poppers came with a variety of sauces and, to me, were one of the best things we had. I was not such a fan of the zucchini fries. The coating was weird, although it may have been the oil.
I got the AM burger with fries, and I thought it was very good. Cooked well with a good flavor, although I could have done without the onion straws. The fries are hand cut- always the best- and pretty good, but there was something weird...I don't know what, but once again, I think it may have been the oil. They were just a little left of awesome.
The BF got the knuckle sandwich which I really enjoyed. It doesn't really say in the description but it's actually grilled, like a grilled cheese, which I loved. He got the fried brussell sprouts, which we did not like but the rest of our party did. One person got the shrimp po'boy with optional crab cake and it was HUGE. He loved it and I will say it looked delicious! And to add the crab cake for $2 is amazing. You get the shrimp and crab cake for just 2 bucks more!!
Actually, I thought the prices were pretty fair for everything. Comparable or a little less expensive than any other new-ish trendy bar/restaurant. The prices for a burger or sandwich is about what you'd pay at most places, and the portion sizes are really large. All in all, there are a few things I'd like to try, but nothing that I had was like so abfab that I have to go back for.
