I stopped by here a couple of Sundays ago with my girlfriend for a late dinner. We had been told by one of my coworkers that they had some great deals later on Sunday evening and after looking at the website I saw that they had half price food after 8 with a drink purchase. So we decided to put off dinner for a bit and head there shortly after 8. The inside of the place seems to be pretty nice for a place called Dive Bar. It is fairly open with the bar being on one side of the restaurant and the dining room taking up the rest of the space with exposed brick walls and many different TV's. If nothing else it feels like a comforting place.
My girlfriend and I decided to start off our dinner with some calamari and I also ordered a PBR pounder for $2. Wow, talk about reliving some college days! What is interesting about the calamari here is that they sort of treat it like wings and so when you order them you can also choose between dry rubs and sauces for dipping or tossing. While we love calamari, this was an extra incentive for us to get it and we ordered ours with a five pepper blend rub and also hot garlic parm sauce for dipping. The calamari was cooked nicely and was not overly and I absolutely loved having something of my choosing to dip it in. While I do not think that the hot garlic parm sauce was very spicy, it still tasted awesome and had a tiny bit of spice to it. For my dinner entree I ended up going with the stacked mac which was their mac n cheese with buffalo chicken tenders on top. Whenever my dish came out I have to admit that I was sort of disappointed in the chicken tenders as they were small, not spicy and almost non existent. If I had paid the full $16 for it I would have been mad but at the half off $8 price, it was pretty reasonable. The mac and cheese itself was pretty good though and I did enjoy that. My girlfriend ended up getting the mahi sandwich as a wrap and she told me that she enjoyed it.
The bottom line for me is that I will definitely head back here in the future especially if it for a late Sunday night dinner. The space is comfortable and the food is good enough that it could become a regular hangout for us.
