| - Pros - Great burgers, good craft beer selection, daily drink specials
Cons - Server needed some fine-tuning on his training
The wife and I visited here for the first time on a Saturday evening. We sat outside and the patio area is set up for both dining at the front with tables and then a larger lounge-type seating area towards the back where a group can sit and have drinks.
The burgers were very good (about $10.50 apiece with a side) and came out fresh and hot, as did the waffle and sweet potato fries. We were told the restaurant changes its menu somewhat about every two months, so it might not bode well for return visits where you're hoping to revisit a menu item you enjoyed.
The beers were reasonably priced and they had a decent selection of craft beers (Guinness cans were on special for $3 apiece).
The only area we found lacking was our server. He wasn't horrible, but he did need additional training. It was several small things - we had to ask him how the burgers were prepared (medium, medium-well) instead of him offering that info or asking us how we'd like them cooked. When our food arrived, he didn't ask if we needed anything (ketchup for the fries, for example). The table next to us (with a different server) went and got their own condiments from inside. My wife asked for a second beer and the server left without asking if I wanted another as well. I caught him the next time by and asked for another. He ended up bringing mine and didn't bring my wife's. He either forgot she ordered one or never heard her say it to begin with. Again, nothing major, but it did detract slightly from the experience.
Having said that, this seems like a good place to go have a beer(s) and some good bar food, then head over to 201 Central (Harris Teeter's specialty wine and beer store in the same parking lot) to do some shopping.
