I'm back, this time for late night eats, and I can say: it's awesome here after midnight! Fun local crowd, creative cocktails, better music (gone is the "New Country" misery). Service is friendly and playful, the vibe is relaxed and fun. This joint makes more sense late at night!
The food...well...I don't know what's going on back there, but they got good stuff- they just do odd things with it. Figuring I couldn't go wrong (shut up!) I ordered the burger ($11) with cheese and Mama Lil's peppers ($1.50 each). Everything was fine, except the bun was scorched black (burnt sesame seeds are NOT yummy) and the burger was undersized and had been cooked over too hot a grill, resulting in burned edges. That said, the rest of the traditional American meal was perfect: generous tomato slices, crisp onion and lovely bib lettuce, perfect fries.
My cocktail, the "Ha!" was muddled cucumber, lime and mint with Hendrix gin, just delicious!
If someone can figure out why the kitchen messes up otherwise good, simple food, this would be a five star place. The ambiance is wonderful! The drinks are approachably creative. Friendly, attentive service. Good beer on tap. Just a fun concept in a good place! Hope they fix the food oddities...
A hopeful four stars!
