| - So....ordered some food to pick up today for lunch. Ordered the Pub Burger, a Gorgonzola Chicken Salad and the Caramel Corn to split with a co-worker. Food was great. My issue is with....value. Here are my thoughts when looking at our lunch items individually.
Pub Burger: It is a simple, well constructed burger with a great flavor profile. Thick cut bacon, havarti cheese and barbeque sauce. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium. It was on a pretzel roll which really complimented it well. At $12 including fries...a solid A for me.
Gorgonzola Chicken Salad: Chicken, Gorgonzola, butter lettuce, radicchio, arugula,
fennel, smoked almond, and tart cherries. So here's the deal....the salad was delicious. But....if Gorgonzola is the first word in the name of the salad, I expect to see more than three dime sized pieces of Gorgonzola in it. Didn't see any smoked almonds either. And at $13 for a salad...I think that I should. Value? No more than a C. Maybe ordering a salad to go isn't such a great idea.
House Popped Caramel Corn: I LOVE caramel corn! But, at $4 for two cups I expect more. More corn. Taking the time to cover the corn with caramel more evenly. And how about making some effort to remove the unpopped kernels before you put the caramel on? We had 6 or more unpopped kernels in our two cup order. That is just lazy. Value? D-
So I will definitely try this place again....but I will order a burger and lower my expectations.
