| - I had really high hopes for this place, but really was just not impressed at all. Came in around 6 on Sunday and sat at the bar, it was very quiet. After a few minutes the bartender came by, we started w/some beers. We then decided to try the pretzel and beer cheese and chips. The pretzel was nothing I haven't had before, if it was served warm that might have helped, the mustard was good though and not spicy like advertised. The house made chips and beer cheese were decent.
We then tried the PBR shrimp, ick. I was excited at the size of the shrimp, but that soon faded when I tried them. Not fresh, mealy tasting, and some of them were so slimy that I stopped peeling and passed on eating anymore.
We decided to try a sausage. We went for the Italian sausage with peppers and onions and a side of the broccoli salad. I kept waiting for the intense flavor I usually get from Italian sausage, but it never came. It was really blah and the only saving grace was the flavor from the peppers and onions. Broccoli salad wasn't bad. We had thought about getting smores but saw them served to another table and it didn't look great so we passed.
There were 3 people working and at one point we saw our food just sitting in the window while all 3 employees walked by it, seemed strange considering there was only about 5 of us in there.
Definitely a disappointment, we would have loved for a new favorite in the neighborhood, but it really was just meh. I'd probably go back for the beer only.
