Stopped into ABC Tavern in an attempt to satisfy a nacho craving that had developed. At the suggestion from a fellow yelper I decided to try the Jerk Chicken Nachos.
Final verdict on the nachos - interesting.
The "nachos" at ABC start off as any plate of nachos should with house made tortilla chips fried to crispy crunchy perfection. The jerk chicken was tender and moist, but there was a certain sweetness to the spice that was a bit off-putting.
When the word "jerk" appears in the description I expect there to be some heat behind it because....that's what jerk seasoning is supposed to do.
These nachos are also topped off with creme fraiche. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have REAL sour cream.
Again, back to my verdict of "interesting". I didn't hate this dish, but I didn't fall in love with it. It's one of those things that I would be happy to eat a bite or two, and then move on to something else.
As far as the rest of the bar goes....I really like this place. It has a real "old bar" feeling to it. The woodwork has been around for a while, and probably has seem some amazing things during its days. There is a decent amount of craft beers available include Bell's Two-Hearted Ale.
The service was fast and attentive, and was quick to make suggestions when and where needed.
Final verdict as a neighborhood bar - Great!
