What a find! The North Side has really been amping up their bar/restaurant options and The Foundry is a great addition to the area. The space is huge with lots of table and bar seating. There's an industrial warehouse meets barn look going on and that pleases my Pinterest loving soul. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by my first experience here.
I started off with a Mediterranean Mule ($10). This was made with some delicious fig vodka. The drink was fairly sweet, so it went down easy. Very yummy.
For my meal I chose the Pickle Brined Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13). This was extremely tasty. Subtle pickle flavor and the challah bun rocked my world. I got a side of caramelized brussel sprouts (subbed them in instead of the standard fries) and they were perfect.
My heart really wanted some Mac & Cheese, but they were OUT OF Mac & Cheese! Boo! Hiss! I only got through half of my sandwich so I guess the lack of Mac & Cheese wasn't the end of the world.
Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy, so I can forgive that.
