I primarily come here for their beer selection, but I also order food on some visits, and their food is actually pretty good.
Most recently, I ordered their Patty Melt, which was a special for a limited time, per the menu. I ordered the patty medium temp, and they nailed the cook on it! The patty was also well-seasoned, so I could still taste the patty and seasoning, despite the cheese, onions, sauce, bacon (great add on their part!), and strong flavor of the Russian Rye bread, which I liked more than I thought I would. Basically, it was a really well-balanced sandwich and possibly the best Patty Melt I've ever had. Bravo!
I opted for the skin-on "straight fries" as they were referred to, and almost all had the bland flavor and texture of sitting under a heat-lamp too long or like they were reheated in a microwave. I'll go back to their waffle fries next time. My bartender said I could have asked for fresh fries, but then the sandwich gets cold while I wait for the fries, or the fries come after I finish the sandwich, and I don't like sending food back. I prefer the kitchen to know to send fresh fries with the sandwich and not try to pass "older" fries off. After I ordered, I heard the bartender say it was last call for the kitchen, so maybe the fryer was already shut down. I generally do no order food when kitchen is about to close because I know they worked hard all day and are anxious to get home, so they usually start cleaning early, and I don't want to make them use something they just cleaned.
Anyway, I like this place and will continue visiting, but I'll be mindful of the time of day I'm ordering. :D
