I had heard mixed reviews about Brockton General and although I often go out for dinner around the neighborhood (and by often I mean every night, as I don't know how to cook) I had yet to visit Brockton. I had tried a couple of times closer to their actual opening but it was so rammed I couldn't even get a table.
Well this past Sunday I finally made my way. I went with a girlfriend who is equally a food critic and we both raved about every aspect.
First of all, the inside (we sat on the patio) smelled like delicious maple syrup for some reason. Heavenly and also hunger-inducing.
We both started with bourbonades which I had heard so much about. They were delicious and strong enough to get the buzz going.
Pam, our waitress and one of the owners was adorable, friendly and so helpful. We shoved the bar menu away (which is great and affordable if you just want some snacks while drinking their awesome cocktails) and went straight for the daily specials. I ordered the pork belly over a bed of chopped eggplant and fennel on the side, topped with some delicious type of mustard. It was delicious. Perfect starter. I then had the daily pasta which was also delectable. The menu was packed with goodness. I was tempted to try it all.
We definitely had a great time and I'm pissed at myself for taking so long to try it. I will most definitely be back. Perfect for you & your friends or a first date. Not to expensive and pretty low key.
Side note: love the mismatched dishes and the unique decor.
