The Family and I had lunch today at the Mangy Moose. We arrived shortly before noon and there was one other group of diners in the saloon with us.
Sofi, who was the bartender and our server arrived to take our order. The Mrs. and I started off with some drinks. I had a Michelobe Ultra and the Mrs. had a Margarita with salt that was handmade by Sofi. She said it was THE BEST Margarita she ever had.
The menu at the Mangy Moose is small, but perfect for the atmosphere. There is a restaurant next door, but it isn't open for lunch. Kiddo and I shared the shared the classic burger that consisted of a 1/3 pound Lockhart Cattle Company beef patty cooked a perfect medium and topped with Vermont cheddar cheese, Chipotle ketchup and pickle. The onion, lettuce, and tomato were on the side along with fries. The Mrs. ordered the Trout and chips. Beautifully battered river Trout served with Korean ranch dressing and fries. She loved it. The portion size was reasonable and the fish was rich in flavor. We also ordered the P & P Burrata which was a salad that was beautifully prepared with grilled peaches, crispy prosciutto, Burrata, arugula, torn basil, and drizzled with white balsamic and olive oil. Very refreshing.
As time went on, the saloon got busier. It was just Sofi and one another server working so they were both hustling. It seemed to me they were handling things well. I've read some of the reviews from my fellow Yelpers about the lack of service and the food. To those people I just have to say that a little patience goes a long way and if you want a culinary masterpiece....go elsewhere.
