| - Some out of town visitors prove to be the push we needed to finally get in to Jammy Buggars. The wife and I had sampled their wares at Taste of Lakewood just prior to their opening, so we were looking forward to trying some more off of the menu.
Our party of four and a half covered a lot of ground on the menu, and for the most part everyone was really pleased with their order, it breaks down like this:
The mac and cheese is delicious - this opinion is shared by a 2 year old and a 35 year old. The regular fries were pretty good as well.
The turkey cutlet BLT and BBQ potato chip pork loin sandwich were both very good too. The Pork Loin sandwich especially, with the BBQ chips and BBQ sauce pairing really well with the tender pork. The Sweet potato waffle fries that accompanied both were good, but maybe a little bland.
The Chicken paprikash looked delicious and tasted delicious, passing with flying colors after being tested on the palate of someone who was born and raised in the "old world".
Lastly, the regular old hamburger was delicious too. There's plenty of places in Lakewood to get a burger of this caliber, but it's nice to have options.
There were a couple of issues that made this a three star rating as opposed to four.
1. The service was a little inattentive. Once our order was placed we only saw our server a couple more times, our drinks going empty and staying that way until the check came and we asked for refills. Maybe they were short handed that night (it didn't seem that way though), or it was busy, but regardless, still kind of a drag.
2. My wife ordered a medium well burger that came out just past rare. She said something to the server about it, who offered to take it back to be cooked some more, but at that point it was a little late.
Overall, this is pretty good gastropub food in a comfortable setting. I wouldn't mind going back for the food, and if the kinks in the service can get worked out, this would be an excellent place to go for some pub grub.
