| - I have been wanting to try this place out for awhile since it was under construction for such a long time. I didn't go when it first opened, but I finally got around to it earlier this week when a friend suggested it instead of our normal Porchlight Grille.
I will say this, the employees were very nice and welcoming! Since there were only like 2 other people in the bar area around 530, they were very attentive and we really liked our bartender.
They also have beer pong in there which people actually did start to play later on in the evening.
That being said, the food brought this from a 4 star to a 3. They have a new happy hour from 4-7 that are half off appetizers. I was so pumped about this I called my wife and had her come and have some food as well.
We ordered:
Buffalo wings w/buffalo sauce - 4/5 - good sauce, great wings
Buffalo wings w/Kiss of death sauce - 4/5 - interesting and very spicy sauce, if you want a ton of kick, this is what you should get
Cheese curds - 2/5 - These were pretty bland. You can't really go wrong with cheese, but it's like the batter they used had anti flavor. It just made the whole plate pretty meh.
Wurst n tots - 2/5 - Same deal. My wife is German, so she's generally skeptical when we order anything bratwurst related, but this had the same problem as the cheese curds...just lacked a taste. The tots were very good, but the bratwurst was very bland (it's also fried in the same batter, so perhaps that's the problem?)
The service for food was also pretty slow, which I assume was the kitchen, because our bartender seemed pretty on top of it. We ordered mostly things you just drop in a fryer, but somehow some things took 20-30 minutes to come out (these are all appetizers btw).
The ambiance wasn't too bad, a little empty, but that wouldn't have been as noticeable if there weren't so few people in there.
All in all, I may be back from time to time (the beer was good), but when porchlight grille is right next store, I'll have a hard time not going there.
