| - With the rave reviews and the famed sister, Bread& Butter, I was really excited to try this place after the beer fest birthday festivities and invited a friend to join us and her kiddos.
It's counter service and seat yourself. This is DIY drinks and condiments. I like they had sweet green ice tea as a drink option and I'm a sauce person so the large hot sauce, ketchup mustards, pickled garlic and green beans were appreciated. It's cute in here in that Pinterest does country cozy type way. The silverware and napkins are on the table which was kinda sketch. Immediately the kids grabbed some to play with and took them away before one loses an eye waving a butterknife. I know a lot of parents don't pay attention and don't care so I was imagining a random baby used my fork as a pacifier and putting it back. I'm not even a germaphobe, but that bothered me.
We got a meat & three times two. The fried chicken is really crispy so it's for the fans of the heavier breading style. I like crispy, but the batter was a bit heavy handed even for me but it was juicy and pretty decent over all. The porchetta was juicy and the touch of berry sauce was a good pairing with it. Fried brussels sprouts were great in that chip kind of way. Easy to want to nosh a plate and I set it off with some hot sauce from the wall of condiments they have. Mash potatoes were standard, but quality. Mac N cheese was proper. Potato croquettes turned out to be sweet potato and come with a cream sauce which I highly enjoyed. Bacon dill potato salad was great flavor though it had too big potato pieces that in 3 bites it was basically all done.
Complimentary they gave us some bread rolls with pimento cheese which were nice and ended the meal with some small snickerdoodle cookies. We also got pistachio, pecan and lemon merengue pudding cups. It was decent enough of a dessert, but nothing too standout. At the end of the day - it's pudding.
They were nice enough at the counter and the chef came to check on us which was nice for a counter service place to do. I think it's still important to check on people.
So the food generally was good, but I think the portions to price to ambiance is a bit off. Based on some reviews that said portions were good, we only got 2 meat and threes to share between 3 adults and that was not the case at all. I wont count the kids who took 2 bites of mac n cheese and proceeded to eat yogurt puffs from home. The fried chicken says half and we received 3 pieces which was a drumstick and the thigh cut in half so a fourth and not a half. The porchetta was one slice, the size of a teacup plate. Sides are standard sizing in that they're in those little souffle ramekins a lot of places use. I debated on getting another portion of maybe the specials since people seemed to be getting them and the portions looked good, but we were there close to closing so I decided we should just go. No, I'm not expecting fatty wheelbarrel me out type portions, but I dunno how I feel about leaving not hungry, but also not at a comfortable full. With it also being serve yourself on top of that, $55 (w/ a bit of tip) seems a bit high to me. I'm still a bit buzzing from beer fest when I ate and if I feel this way on happy vibes then well that isn't good.
Food is decent enough, but we do not drive from Centennial to go eat at just decent again so I think I'm a pass for this place. I'm not buying into the hype.
