Ate at the Eureka! in SLO and decided to try this one closer to home on a Friday night at 9 pm. Ambiance is on 100 with nice lighting, clean aesthetic & TV's playing sports. It's great it has a happy hour menu from 9 pm until closing.
Service, on the other hand, was actually really bad - I'm sorry to say. Why? We sat down and asked for water and didn't get it after the appetizer AND our our meals came out. We had to ask one other server, then a bus boy for our waters. I had to ask for my Old Fashioned halfway throughout my burger. I just expected more from a spot like this, and they weren't apologetic about it. Now onto the food...
Fried Pickles - 4.5/5 - These were awesome! Pickles were juicy, sour and flavorful. Crispy and generous amount. My only gripe this they over did it with the salt, as the pickles didnt need it.
Wings w. Bourbon Dry Rub - 4/5 - They came out hot, fresh, and juicy. The rub itself was dusted each wing nicely. It did taste more sweet than savory. A little mild spice kick at the end. Came with 7 with a few carrots and lettuce.
Double Smash Burger - 3/5 - It looked awesome, covered in cheese and all the fixings. It came out a little room temperature though, creating dry bites with coldish patties and big bun. I did need to add ketchup - for both flavor and lubrication (lol). Maybe if it was served fresh this would've been tastier.
Old Fashioned - 5/5 - Excellent old fashioned, loved the cherry.
Overall, wouldn't be my first choice to come again due to the poor service but cater the idea with their late night happy hour option!
