They have some seriously delicious and creative comfort style food, (also some awesome staff members), but are inconsistent. This is due to poor management at the top level of the business. New employees are not trained sufficiently. Take it from aninsider. This is why you'll see reviews here from opposite ends of the spectrum. It's a shame because when the food *is* doneright, it's fantastic.
Their cheesy crab bavarian pretzel was to die for. Very salty, so great with beer. Only 4 stars because the price was a little high
Please make things consistantly the same. The first time I had the Dungeness Crab pretzel, it was so yummy. Perfectly baked, soft, and plenty of crab. The 2nd time I was so excited and ordered on for my sister too because I told her it was so good. Wewere bummed. Burnt, hard cheese sauce, and barely any crispy crab on top. Super bummer.
Delicious custard filled churros and some type of yummy caramel sauce! We will be getting these again!
I tried the Reuben and thought it was excellent, but I definitely want to come back and sample more of the menu. The restaurant specializes in elevated meats like hamburgers, hot dogs, and pastrami, though there are other intriguing choices as well. The owner uses high-quality ingredients to create delicious dishes and is clearly passionate about the menu, which is always a positive sign in a dining spot.
