| - I usually find a lot more redeeming qualities to a place. However, Saddle Mountain Brewing Co. was a disappointment. We did not eat in, but had take out a few days ago. We had the Jalapeno bombers, Fish and chips, and the Rachel sandwich. The bombers are plain jalapenos that are stuffed with sausage and have cheese. They are supposed to come with an avocado aioli but we did not get any. They were a bit greasy from the sausage but were ok although not the traditional finger food we are used to. We had to use forks. The fish and chips were also just so so. The filet was a little thin and the fish was ok but not the "cod white" that I expected. The problem was that the batter coating was a little too done and hard to bite into, not a crunchy mouth feel. The fries were only so so and not very memorable. There was ketchup and mustard packets provided but they had something on them that smelled like someone had sprayed it with room freshner. I imagine some cleaner of some sort got spilled on the items. So we didn't bother with them. The absolute worst part of the meal was the cole slaw. I've never had bland, tasteless coleslaw in my life until now. It seemed to be made with just a little watered down mayonnaise. It was dry and honestly had little or no flavor. It had no tang or any sweetness (depending on the style you like). It really did nothing positive for the sandwich.
Unfortunately the slaw was also on top of the Rachel Sandwich. The sandwich just wasn't very good. We always want juicy, succulent pastrami and this was very, very dry. The bun was a basic pretzel bun but there was almost no sauce and nothing else to give the sandwich any flavor. A good mustard would have really helped.
Since we didn't order any beer, I can't give any information on those. But we probably won't ever go there for food again. It just wasn't very good, way too expensive for what we experienced, and not worth our hard earned money.
