| - Grabbed dinner here last week, and let me say - big fan of this place. Great service, great burgers, GREAT beer menu. Anywhere with a bunch of local brews on tap can't be bad in my book, but what's more, our waitress impressed the socks off of me with her knowledge of the beer menu. She had clearly tried all of the beers they had listed and was able to describe them and make recommendations based on what we said we liked. What's more, she was just...pleasant. Nice. A great waitress. Really seemed to like her job. Hats off to Kickstand for the training of your wait staff! It really did positively contribute to my experience.
On to the burgers! I recently went to Block & Grinder over on Providence and had their burger, so it's hard for me to not compare them. B&G's burger is clearly a statement, with the branded bun and the premium condiments, and I can definitely appreciate that - it was a great burger. But Kickstand's burgers are good in their own right, and what they might lack in quality (no, they don't have a Gruyere cheese option, sorry), they more than make up for in breadth.
I went with the build your own burger, and wasn't disappointed - it was a quality specimen. And I love that they serve their burgers with tots! It's so...Napolean-Dynamite-give-me-some-of-your-tots. I went with what I've deemed the "breakfast" tots: sweet tots with brown sugar butter syrup. YUM. The reg tots were good too, though.
I, for one, will definitely be back!
