I love a good dive bar. At best, you find friendly bartenders, cheap booze, and a welcoming crowd of regulars. On the other hand, you could end up here.
We decided to try Gebhard's after seeing pictures of their sliders online. They no longer serve sliders but the burgers looked great in pictures. We ordered two beers, the pretzel pieces, and two burgers.
Our bartender was engrossed in a conversation with a woman at the bar the entire time that we were there. She was hardly even listening to us when we ordered; she didn't even notice the empty glasses of others at the bar. It was truly bizarre. One of the guys sitting at the bar alone was repeatedly trying to nicely flag her down for a refill and she couldn't have cared less.
I ordered a fruit beer and somehow ended up with a strawberry cider. The cider itself was nice but sort of strange that she didn't ask if cider was okay. At this point though, we were still giving this place the benefit of the doubt.
When we ordered one of the burgers, we thought we asked for no mayo, but couldn't remember for sure if we had, in fact, asked, so we went back up to confirm. She informed us (kind of rudely) that the burger doesn't come with mayo and that I must've read the wrong description...? Which makes no sense, but again, benefit of the doubt, maybe even though it says on the menu explicitly that it comes with mayo, I guess it's possible that it doesn't...?
Surprise of the century- it came with mayo, spread in a generous portion on both buns! ... folks, please know your menu, and if you aren't sure, just consult it!! You don't have to be overly kind to me, but at least be correct.
The pretzel pieces were actually disgusting. Instead of being soft and fluffy or crunchy and savory, they were this weird flash-fried consistency and oily. I have no idea who would want to eat these.
The burgers themselves - pretty standard, not memorable but not bad either. Standard bar fare. The fries were the best part- perfect crunch to them, good portion size.
It seems like they get some regulars so they won't exactly be hurting for business, but I would avoid. For the quality of "service" here, you could easily go somewhere cheaper, or with better food, or both. Disappointing.
