Probably my favorite meal of our vacation to the New River Gorge area!
We came here for dinner last Saturday evening after a long day of exploring. This restaurant is right on the edge of downtown Fayetteville and hosts a spacious patio. They were busy on a Saturday (20-30 minute wait), but the hostess let us know we could sit and eat at the bar if we wished. There was no wait there, and so we did! I'm glad, too -- the bartender and our waitress (Lindsay, if I remember correctly?) was fantastic!
The restaurant is pretty inside and has a modern and chic vibe. I loved it. The menu consists mostly of sandwiches and burgers but there are a lot of options and many of them are quite creative! They also have a good number of craft cocktails and beers.
I was feeling like celebrating, so I asked Lindsay which of their cocktails was on the sweeter side since that is usually my preference. She recommended the BLT (blackberry, lemon, and thyme, mind you) shrub and so I ordered that and she made me one.
Boy, she didn't steer me wrong. One of the better cocktails I've had in a very long time. Sweet, fruity, effervescent, strong but not cloying -- it was fantastic!
For our meals, my parents split the Hoover (fried chicken sandwich), I got the Lady Bird (grilled chicken, bacon, chipotle mayo), and my husband got the Delano (fried fish). Hubs and I got fries while my parents had the house chips.
My only major gripe about this place is our food took a pretty long time to come out. They were quite busy but it was still a little on the excessive side. Oh, and my husband's fish, while tasty, was a very thin and small cut of meat, which was disappointing to him.
When our food did arrive, though, it was delish! I'm partial, but I think I got the best thing -- big, tender, juicy chicken breast, smoky bacon, slightly spicy and generous chipotle mayo, and fresh, crispy fries...it was a winner! My parents, who I could tell were skeptical when I recommended we go here, were also very pleased and devoured their half sandwiches. The house chips were great, too! My husband enjoyed the taste of his sandwich but like I said, was disappointed by the portion (especially compared to my and my parents' sandwiches). He agreed I outbought him. ;)
Overall, I'd give my experience a 4.5 but don't think I quite would round up to a 5 due to the long wait for our orders. Still, I'd absolutely wholeheartedly recommend a visit here while in Fayetteville!
