| - Went last night with a groupon. I'm so glad places like this offer groupons bc I never would have found such a place otherwise. I made a reservation but it was unecessary on the Sunday night.
The decor is awesome, from the tiles on the ceiling, the long wood table in the middle of the room, the art and old 'from down home' pics on the wall. It is outstanding to look at. The big communal table can offer a chance for guests to talk to one another, which I like when there are friendly interesting guests sitting next to you. There is also bar stool seating around the room.
Most of the food was served n a slab of wood, so very original. I like. The napkins are kitchen towel rags, pretty cool.
The guest beside me also had a groupon but it expired a few days ago and when they came, the resto was closed due to a problem in the kitchen but they kindly and happily accepted the groupon even though it was past due.
My son had the veggie meal, (only one on the menu), fries, very good, coleslaw, very good, sandwich, too salty. I could see he had a hard time downing it bc of the salt. But he said otherwise, it was really good.
I had the goulash, which is actually not goulash, it's beef stew on noodles. There were too many noodles, the carrots were yucky tasting - I personally like farmers market carrots, not, pesticide laden, factory grown, ones. These are the carrots I wouldn't eat as a kid bc they tasted so yucky, I only started eating carrots once I had organic ones from farmers. The beef was excellent though. Tender, tasty, no fat or grisol to pick out of my mouth while I am eating, The overall taste was average, like I said, beef stew on noodles.
I ordered a side of potato salad, it was very different from the Canadian version. More like a sweet potato mix of mashed potatoes. Very good, cold, nice.
I heard the burgers are good.
Half of the menu were pork items. I can't eat pork, but the people there also eating seemed happy with their meals.
Points lost here, too salty sandwich, average tasting goulash, too many noodles and yucky carrots.
