| - Took the wife here for Sunday after Church pub grub. After reading all the reviews, I was unsure what to expect... but not any longer! We arrived right at 1:00 and were kindly greeted and seated. The dining room began to fill almost immediately, and within 50 minutes was pretty full. The draft beer was excellent, as one would expect from a tavern doing this much volume.
Lunch came in spurts, but it was perfect. We started out sharing a cup of jalapeno bean less chili. It was superb, both as chili and as appetizer. I have never seen that much beef in chili before. Sipping a tall Blue and real chili... made me feel I was back in Newfoundland! :) Then our fries were up. A big, big basket was way more than enough for two ol' folks to share. (Note you get your fries when they are ready, so you get perfect fries.) They too were perfect and filling! I wish I had gotten a bigger bowl of chili to dip them in. In just a couple of minutes our burgers arrived. I had the Maggie, and my wife the Czar. WOW is all I can say! Mushrooms cascading off the plate, and more cheese than I have seen on any 5 burgers in the past.
My wife is a beef carnivore and she went off the charts into beef bliss with her burger. All I heard is "We have to come back to this place.... munch munch... you think we can come during the week.... munch, munch and more yumming, and stealing more of the great fries.
Short story, we will be back. It was perfect pub grub. The wait staff were friendly, helpful and filled us in on the local color. You won't go away thirsty or hungry. As an ol' guy, I'm going to have to bring a container for next time and take some grub home, I was stuffed after this first visit.
PS: My wife said the woman's restroom was spotless. Things like that deserve a mention. If this place were closer (we're 40 miles away) we would be regulars.
