| - This was good, real good. If I were you, I would make plans to come two days in a row, because we ordered way too much food because everything looks so good. If you already have a second visit planned, you won't be tempted to over-order! This food is delivered with plenty of style and flavor, but is plenty fatty and heavy, and you need to leave room for some of the 20-odd beers they have on tap.
We ordered a sausage platter to share, and I got their signature burger for myself and an Old Fashioned cocktail. Everything in the burger was great - superior quality and individually delicious. The overall effect was overwhelming - garlic spread, the great beefy taste, the bacon, the egg, the buttered bun, the sweet onions, and more, were all competing for attention. Next time, I'd get a much simpler burger and enjoy it very much, I'm sure.
I'd hoped for an "authentic" Old Fashioned from a restaurant which takes its name from the cocktail, but the cocktail snob in me was a little disappointed. It was very well executed for a "modern" Old Fashioned, and I enjoy the Wisconsin style with brandy, but 'twas not an old fashioned Old Fashioned. Alas.
