So, my friends wanted to go here for lunch today. It was new, we had never been before, let's give it a shot, right?
The waitress convinced us to order draft beers because they were on special, so we agreed. One friend ordered a coke which came immediately.
I watched the frost from my frosty mug fade away as our beers sat at the end of the bar getting warmer. I saw our waitress walking around by the bar, and assumed that she MUST have seen them. After what seemed like an eternity, another person brought our beers which only had frost at the very bottom at this point.
OK, well, let's give the food a shot. One of my friends suggested we order as soon as we saw the waitress again, because they already didn't seem very timely.
Note that it was lunchtime, there were very few tables occupied and at least 8 staff members that I saw.
So, we order. If you are a fan of my reviews, you know that one of my favorite lunch time treats is Four Peak's Salmon BLT. So, anytime I see a salmon sandwich, let alone one that includes bacon, I am tempted.
I ordered the Salmon sliders. The waitress convinced my friends to get the "loaded tots" which adds melted cheese, onions, and bacon bits on top of your tots. I stuck with straight up tots.
Well, in case you couldn't guess, the food took a while. But I had my semi-cold beer and good conversation with my friends, so I let it slide.
The salmon sliders were not good. They weren't awful. I mean, I ate them. But, I would not choose to eat them again, unless I was in a desperate state of hunger and they were the only thing available.
The bun is hard. Which of course makes it hard to eat the tiny sandwich. The "blackened" salmon was not blackened at all. This is what makes the sandwich btw. The blackening spices take away from the fishiness of the salmon which allow the other flavors (hello, bacon?) to come through.
Because of the lack of seasoning on the salmon, that was all you could taste. That precious bacon and whatever kind of aioli they used was wasted.
The tots were tots. Nothing special.
Beware yelpers, beware.
