| - Fat Head's opened just a few moments ago and I had to be one of the first to give it a try. Sitting quietly for months and months now, the idea of a new brewery in the 'hood made me thirsty just thinking about it. I'm not good with being patient, which is why I went today and why I sat at the bar due to the 30 minute wait at 2:30pm on a sunny, Saturday afternoon.
Fat Head's offers 10 brews on-tap, made in-house. You can try a "sample" in a cute little glass for about $1.45. I tried a few, my friend tried a few. So far the favorite is the Tree Hugger Ale. My friend liked the blonde. The stout isn't half-bad either. All are drinkable with no crazy or overwhelming flavors.
Brewmaster Matt was workin' the bar & answering questions about the brews. Nice guy, next time I'm in, I might buy him a drink.
The other beer offered rotates in & out. A nice variety if you can't find a Fat Head to quench your thirst.
Food:
Ok, I know I'm not always real sharp, but seriously, couldn't they have one vegetarian option on the menu? I understand a Brewery is about das Bier first! (As it should be) But when offering a menu as large as this, give a girl a vegetable, please!!! Heck, I'll even take a fish not deep fried.
We ordered nachos with pulled pork, French onion soup, and a Reuben.
The Soup did not have the usual thick & beautifully melty cheese on top. I'd say it was beef bouillon w/ a few croutons & onions thrown in on a handful of mozzarella. Not to be ordered again it was a far cry from good. The Nachos, while appealing to look at, lacked certain oomph. They do come on Fat Head's home-made potato chips. (YUM!) But again, maybe the cheese is a problem for the place. Yeah, its bar food, but really we can't do better than stadium cheese spread on the chips? The pulled pork didn't have much flavor either. I must say though, the toppings were nicely spread throughout the mound of chips and not just thrown on top. The Rueben came with a mound of those yummy, yummy chips. Bread was nicely toasted. The meat was good & the crout not bad. Overall a decent sandwich.
Service:
Matt rocked it out. I like that he worked the bar and is the crafter of the beer. Our server, well, she was overwhelmed and didn't mind letting us know. Eh, she could have been better. The GM did chat with us quickly before we were leaving; checking on the service etc. I like that. A good manager needs to know what his customers think. Service probably could use some tweaking, but I'm hopeful that GM does a good job and it will thereby get better. As I mentioned, the place us brand spankin' new.
Overall I give it an A-OK 3 stars. They're off to average start. I'll go back, pray for better service and maybe eat a snack before I go.
