So my wife and I went here twice while visiting Salem over Halloween weekend. Came at opening time on a Saturday (was a line to get in, but it was Halloween weekend so was expected), and came for dinner around 7pm on Sunday - we were seated within 15min.
Saturday we ordered:
Bavarian Pretzels with beer cheese sauce (5/5)
Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese (4/5)
Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese (3/5) - would have gotten higher score but it wasn't what I expected... most of the time buffalo mac and cheese has the blue cheese crumbles or something like that to balance the flavors... didn't have that. It wasn't bad, just wasn't anything special.
Sunday (we were starving, boxed up a little bit for hotel):
Angry Birds (the wings) - (4/5) - I enjoyed them a lot, they were a little too spicy for wife... I didn't think they were that spicy, dry rub so they weren't so messy, we got a side of ranch and blue cheese. Tender, good portion.
Caesar Salad (4/5) - BEWARE - huge portion... you could legit eat this and the wings and be good... wife enjoyed it.
Double Smash burger (2x) - should have gotten the single, was bigger than I thought it would be. Very good burger though, exceeded my middle of the pack expectations. (4/5)
Games:
NFL Blitz was out of order so I was little disappointed but NBA Jam and Ninja Turtles games kept me occupied. Played a few other shooter games as well, very nostalgic. Wife enjoyed the vast selection of pinball machines (like 14 or 15 pinball machines).
Drinks we tried:
Butterbeer (Vanilla Vodka, Fireball, Butterscotch, Cream, and Root Beer) 3/5... to be fair, i never tried any Butterbeer recipes so I really can't compare it to anything... just wasn't for me. But it was recommended to me by a friend... so maybe you'll like it.
MS. PAC-MAN (Malibu, vodka, pineapple, and grenadine) 5/5 - simple drink, hit the mark for my wife though.
On Sunday night it was a bit chilly outside so I decided to get bold... ordered:
HEADLESS HORSEMAN (Hot Apple Cider, Jameson, and Apple Cinnamon Simple) - 5/5 - really hit the spot for me before dinner.
Beer:
If you're a beer person, they have something for everyone. A large selection of taps and cans/bottles. I tried:
Riverwalk IPA 4/5
Guinness 5/5 - good pour
I can't remember the name of this other beer I tried, I just know it was a red ale... was quite refreshing. 5/5
I would recommend this for anyone. Be mindful that if you have children, bring them for lunch or an early dinner. It's adults only after 8pm
