My future MIL and I stopped in late on a Friday evening for some grub. I am in Medina Square every 8 weeks or so but I have honestly never seen or heard of this place. How long has it been there? Anyway, her friend has been raving about it, so we gave it a try.
My first impression was a pretty typical bar food establishment. It was nice and busy, but we were greeted immediately. We sat near the vault door and we both commented on the atmosphere. It was comfortable and casual.
The menu was almost overwhelming- there were so many things I wanted to try! But once I saw something called donkey sauce, I knew I had to pick something with it. Our awesome waitress, Krista S. ran down the options which included it but also told me I could just get it as a side to dip fries in. Duh. She also cautioned me that it was addictive. (Donkey sauce is roasted garlic aioli)
Mom ordered the Hawaiian Chicken Wrap and she said it was really good. It was a nice size and had big, meaty pieces of chicken.
I ordered the Italian Stallion - a fat, juicy burger topped with swiss, pastrami, grilled onions, Cleveland stadium mustard, ketchup, and house made pickles. This was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. The donkey sauce was an excellent addition to the crisp, delicious fries. Our meal was so satisfying, I kept eating after I was already full. THEN we talked about obviously coming back here for breakfast sometime. Perhaps sleeping there and just waiting for breakfast a few hours later?
Our bill for 2 sandwiches, 2 sides of donkey sauce, and 1 iced tea was only $22.92. That is a great value. By far, my favorite dining establishment in the Medina Square area.
