| - I found myself at Buckeye Beer Engine when there was a 2-hour wait at Melt. (I mean, Melt is good, but not good enough to wait 2 hours for!) And, I'm glad I found myself here!
The list of beers is extensive and impressive. I wound up enjoying the one I chose; one of the people I was with didn't particularly enjoy hers. I wish the server would have been able to give us more guidance as far as what all of the different types were, but other than that, she was great. It also may have been nice to have a, "If you like xyz popular beer, try xyz beer." I think it would have helped us narrow down our choice.
The food was also good. Actually, it was better than I expected. I'm not a huge burger fan (I have to be in the right mood), so I was happy that I could substitute chicken for the burger. I got the Tuscan and the flavors complemented each other nicely. The pierogies were OK, nothing to rave about, but solid. And the fried pickles that came with the burgers were excellent, as were the fries.
I'm surprised to read about the bad service others received; our server was prompt and friendly. But, I've only been here once, so I'm guessing maybe the service is just touch-and-go.
I'm docking one star because I would have liked more guidance on the beers and because one of the people I was with had to send her burger back to be cooked more, but it was fine when we got it back. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Buckeye Beer Engine!
