I was really impressed with the food, beer, and service here! I was visiting family in the area and haven't had the best experience food or atmosphere-wise at most pubs nearby.
Horse Thief Hollow has a great vibe and inviting atmosphere with local art on the walls and a comfortable seating area. Our server was prompt and friendly and patient with our party!
We tried a flight of beer and found them to have creative ingredients and good execution. We would have taken a 6pack to go but they were currently out!
The food here was really good! We started with the charcuterie plate which had a large variety of meats and cheeses. We also ordered the empanada trio with one shrimp, pork, and corn/poblano empanada and chimichurri sauce. The empanadas were perfectly fried, not greasy and obviously fresh to order, and the stuffing was plentiful.
I ordered the lamb burger which comes with goat cheese, tomato jam, arugula, and red onion. The patty was a good size(try the goat burger at Little Goat Diner it's tiny!) and the tomato jam and goat cheese are a great flavor combination. I also got the buttermilk slaw as my side which was lightly dressed and refreshing.
My party also ordered Old Man Tom's gumbo with shrimp, blue crab, clams, and house-made andouille. The gumbo was chock full of meat and had a great consistency! It wouldn't seem out of place in New Orleans.
Lastly there was the Lieutenant Dan sandwich which was a po'boy sandwich with fried Gulf shrimp, sriracha mayo, pickled veggies, cilantro, jalapeño, and shredded lettuce on toasted French bread. The shrimp were large and plentiful and the side of sweet potato fries were really good too!
Next time we'll be trying the dessert menu!
