We swung by for food after a little bit of exercise at Crescent Park. It's just a few steps away from the arched pedestrian bridge.
Upon entering, you can see that it's very small inside. I would say it has a cozy dive bar atmosphere. A counter to order food and drinks, and a handful of tables for seating - that's it. However, they have TONS of outdoor seating. Under the open sky with picnic tables, and a warehouse-hangar type of building with tables in it too. Equipped with propane patio heaters, it wasn't too cold, even though it was in the 40s when we went! For the winter, I would recommend dressing warmly. In the summer, it might get hot and buggy, so be mindful of that!
When we went, they had live music playing. It was nice to have that going on while we devoured our food! They're playing there for free, so don't forget to tip!
The food and drinks here were PHENOMENAL. I didn't have any beers, but my boyfriend said the two he tried were some of the best lagers he's ever had!
We ordered the fries ($5), which are a MUST if you swing by here. The portion is large, so it's more than enough to share with someone as an appetizer. The fries themselves were thick, yet crispy, but the showstoppers were the sauces. The had an apple curry ketchup and a spicy garlic mayo. OMFG guys... I could not stop eating!! The most ADDICTING sauces I've had in a while. I would buy the sauces by the tub to use at home. I even debated driving over for another order of fries the very next day.
We also ordered the NOLA schnitzel sandwich ($13). It has a giant chicken breast (or pork) about 8 inches long, breaded and fried, served with a flavorful, saucy cole slaw. This enormous sandwich is a fantastic deal for $13. It's delicious and the portion is generous!
As if all of that were not enough, we decided to gorge ourselves by ordering the Schnitzel Hunter Platter ($23) too. We got the pork, which was breaded and fried to perfection again, smothered in a savory mushroom gravy with a heaping pile of creamy mashed potatoes on the side. It also came with a small serving of sauerkraut. I kid you not, the pork was thick, juicy, and the piece was about the size of my face. The portion for this was HUGE! They do not skimp here at all. Even a big eater will go home stuffed!! Most people would have leftovers!
We went home stuffed like it was Thanksgiving again! R.I.P. our New Year's resolutions to lose some weight. Can't wait to go back!!
Update: We tried a dessert here. I probably won't order a dessert again. It was good, but nothing special, so I'd rather just fill up on the other food here! Haha
