| - Market Garden Brewery is alright with me. Filled with a lot of what looked like 30-somethings and their dates and a smattering of bro dudes.
It's a very large space and kudos to MGB for creating an inviting atmosphere where you can enjoy a birthday party with a group of friends or an intimate dinner with your love. You will also find 2 bars to enjoy one of your new favorite brews - we tried out Hop Soup and the Old School American Lager - both were refreshing. Next time, definitely planning on getting the beer sampler, it comes on a paddle (6 samples, $15 bucks). I also sipped on a glass of the Pinot Noir with dinner.
Even though it was cold outside the large outdoor patio (beer garden) was still open for those who wanted to enjoy the pretty night sky. On my next trip - hopefully during the day, I will definitely partake in some patio awesomeness. For this particular trip, the four of us were seated at a hightop table by the bar, at first I thought it would be uncomfortable for an entire dinner - but the seats weren't bad at all.
When it came down to ordering some grub, we ended up with housemade tortilla chips and salsa rojo, as well as the pretzel with mustard & garlic cheese for an appetizer. The chips were okay and the salsa was good - but there wasn't a whole lot of it. The pretzel on the other hand was delish and I'm in love with anything garlic - so that was a total win. For dinner we noshed on the Fried Chicken Sandwich (chicken, braised collard greens, bacon, sawmill gravy, and tomato) and the Battered Rock Shrimp Tacos (battered shrimp, cilantro, onion, roasted poblanos, and cabbage slaw). The shrimp tacos were delish (I'd give them an A) - the right amount of cilantro - and I loooove cilantro! The chicken sandwich rated about a C. The chicken/gravy/bacon taste wasn't bad but the amount of collard greens atop the sandwich was overpowering (one of our dining partners noted that it looked like an entire briar patch had emptied onto my boyfriend's plate), the fries were lukewarm at best - just not the quality I was expecting.
While the food needs some work, I still can't wait to come back and try some of the other brews.
PS - Make reservations (on OpenTable) if you don't want to wait too long. We had made ours at 6:45p and while it wasn't packed then, it definitely filled up fast.
PSS - I have to mention that I love that our bill included a charge for a "Soda Popinksi" (we had a diet Coke) and I just thought that was super cutesy!
