| - This was an overall delightful experience, and exactly what I was looking for when it comes to pub food.
We came on a cool Friday night, around 8:30pm. It wasn't terribly crowded, nor loud. We were promptly seated and our server came by quickly for our drink order. Alas, they were out of the one beer on tap I wanted, Bell's Two Hearted Ale, but they did have Hop Drop & Roll in the bottle so that minor misstep was overlooked.
As an app, we got the pretzels. Two large, soft pretzels come with a pot of queso and a pot of mustard. These pretzels were delicious; chewy, salty, and brushed with enough butter to make them glisten. The queso and mustard were excellent complements.
For my entrée, I got the classic burger with some sriracha mayo. My wife got the spinach and goat cheese black bean burger. I got the standard waffle fries, while she got the sweet potato waffle fries.
My burger was cooked about as well as a burger can be. I asked for it medium, and while it was a tad medium-well on the edges, overall it was great. What made this burger special was the seasoning. It was PERFECTLY seasoned. A round of applause to the line cook and his judicious use of the salt shaker. The bacon on the burger was also perfectly cooked, the sriracha mayo I got on the side was par for the course, and of course what tied it all together was the Martin's potato roll, literally the best bun you can use. I savored every bite.
My wife enjoyed her burger.
Both the regular and the sweet potato waffle fries were great as well. Crispy, hot, and well-seasoned. Exactly what you're looking for in a french fry.
Prices were exceedingly reasonable, the quality was high, and service was excellent. I'd consider Mayworth Public House to be a higher-quality, more reasonably priced alternative to some place like The Liberty in Charlotte.
