This was the Grand Opening weekend of this restaurant. We decided to check them out for lunch. When we arrived it was a tad confusing. We didn't want to go into the bar but the dining area. We headed to the area that the sign out front was pointing to but half way up a waitstaff person opened a side doer and let us in. We were taken to the top floor and we were given the option to eat there,the patio/deck or the bar. We decided on the bar. There were two tables to choose from there. Two of the waitstaff gave us the history of the place. It's always interesting to hear. About an older building. There was a couple in there who had been in the building many times through the years so it was neat to hear what they had to say.
The menu has a lot of options but is not overwhelming. I've always preferred a place that does a few things really well rather than a poor performance on a menu that is enormous. For a place like this we thought their beer options were not that great. In fact we decided not to order any.
So back to the food menu we went. I ordered the Gouda and Cheddar Mac n Cheese with bacon. It looked good but had absolutely no flavor. None. I was very disappointed. I had them box it up for me and I took it home for one of my boys to eat. I'll add something's to it to give it flavor
My husband ordered the Piitsburgher Ham BBQ Stacker. It came with a side of fries. It was stacked all right. Almost to high to get a bite but we did. We ended up halving it since I didn't like my food. There was a ton of Chipped Ham and the slaw on it was very tasty too. The fries ate house made and better than a lot of house made fries I've had in the 'Burgh.
The building has been totally renovated and they did a nice job. I just wish they had a better selection of beer and that my food had some flavor. It was also a little awkward because music would play for a few minutes and then it would be silent for a long period of time and then a few more minutes of music.
If I ever go back, it would be to have the BBQ Stacker again.
