The hamburger was so-so, and the 1/2 cider I ordered was literally like 4 ounces. I asked the server about the fact that it got a poor rating on their own score board. He said try it and let me know what you think. He came back with the drink and assumed he was providing me a sample to try, nope, it was the actual drink. He never followed up to see what I thought of the drink. The grapefruit cider I didn't finish because it wasn't worth finishing, their own rating was correct. My colleague had over cooked fries in old cooking oil that were burnt and he was also disappointed with his beer and didn't finish it either. He stated the beer was as bad as the fries. But it looked like a lot of happy customers, again it must have been a one off experience with the food and beverages.

They definitely know how to do get IPAs, but I’m not a big fan of the flavored stout approach. I get that it’s different and probably great for people who like that kind of different, but it’s just not my different. Excellent place for a flight or more :

Unfortunately we learned the kitchen closed early, perhaps since they were slow that evening. So, word of caution: The Answer'skitchen may be unexpectedly closed on slow days. For the drinks: great variety of good beers, I recommend. But do not count onbeing able to enjoy food.
