I ate here for my pre-half-marathon dinner. I had the 'San Diego burger' (I think that's what it was, but I can't seem to find their menu anywhere. it had avocado on it) with some sweet potato tots. I also shared the fried pickles with my lovely dining partner, since I am a discerning fried pickle eater.
Beer selection was great, decor/atmosphere was great - make sure to check out the patio out back. I wasn't in love with my burger, though.. I didn't find it particularly flavorful - the meat especially didn't stand out to me. Also, I did not like the tots that much.. being sweet potato they were covered in cinnamon, which is fine and complimented the taste, but.. they were small and not that crispy or fluffy. I would have liked a bigger sized tot, for sure - and maybe something like a drizzle of honey on them? I don't know.. also, the sauce that they were served with did not go at all.. I kept trying it but was not into it.
As for the fried pickles.. I liked the batter they used (although I would have liked it a little thicker and/or maybe with a little cornmeal mixed in?) and they were fried properly. I did not like the pickles on the inside.. I know they were homemade but they were barely pickled.. I expect my fried pickles to be very pickled and super classic dill-pickle style. These were hipster fried pickles, take that as you may...
I would come back here for drinks and give a chance to some other things on the menu.. maybe I just didn't find the right thing yet - it *is* a cool spot.
