At the end of the meal, the server was very sincere in asking for our opinion and mentioned that she was going to let the chef know as it wasn't the first time she heard our feedback.\n\nLots of great beers on tap (Guinness, Smithwicks, FP Hop Knot), in a bottle (Hoegaarden), and in a can (PBR).\n\nThe boy got the burger and I got the grilled veggie sandwich. On the specials board they had listed \"Salt and Pepper Dry Rib Bits.\" Sounded interesting and I love pepper, so why not give it a try. She did warn us that some people had said \"Wow! That's very peppery.\" I went for it anyway. Also, she gave me the happy hour price ($5) even though happy hour didn't start for another hour. Very nice!\n\nWhen the food came out, the sandwich was huge and looked delicious. A pile of great veggies and another pile of fries. When we started eating, there was a lot of oil was dripping off the grilled veggie sandwich and was so much bread that it overpowered the fresh veggies. Bummer. Also, the dry rib bits were in fact a little too peppery and dry. The fries were ok, could use a little seasoning. I was rubbing the pepper from the ribs onto my fries to try to balance them out. \n\nI plan to give them a couple of months to work things out and then try again. Keeping my fingers crossed for a great pub in the tuke!"^^ . . . "2010-04-11T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ .
