| - Came in on a Thursday night to try the hot and spicy burger. Was promptly served by quite possibly the kindest barmaid in Strongsville, Amy.
I ordered the burger medium well with a side of coleslaw. The platter came out quickly and was delicious! Burger was exactly as I asked, just a bit pink. It had an ample amount of hot giardiniera peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, 2 onion rings, and some tasty secret sauce with cheese. The pepper mix was outstanding and typically something I can only get in Chicago on Italian Beef. The bun was nicely toasted, but nothing special.
One of the side options was apple fries. I didn't have the guts to try them with a hot and spicy burger, but after the aforementioned feast, I decided to give it a go. Great choice for desert! Slices of apple, battered and deep fried, then drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Wow!
The place needs a bit of TLC. The furniture and fixtures are left over from the previous establishment which takes some of the thrill out of a new place. They also have black boards for draft beers and Monthly Features, both of which have nothing written on them. On a positive note, the service is fast and friendly. And, the new menu looks outstanding.
Overall, the place should get 4 stars. But since their overall rating reflects the prior poorly performing business, I gave it 5 to compensate.
