Came here on a weekend and there was definitely a wait, so we went to have a drink at Nellie's. But since we've heard good things about The String Bean, we'd wait it out. This was definitely not the atmosphere I initially thought. Not your typical restaurant vibe as it's mostly high top tables next to a butcher service and small bodega-style market. To the food, our table split the fried green tomatoes which were excellent as the tomatoes were cut thickly and fried perfectly with the right amount of batter and dressing. I had the Southern Reuben which has pulled pork instead of corned beef. Very tasty and not overpriced.
Set your expectations here as it's not fine dining and plan accordingly for a wait in the winter as there's not much seating inside.
