Opening weekend, so I am trying to be understanding.
The inside feels like a cleaned up Gardski's. You order from a counter and plenty of open seating up, down, and outside.
Speaking of outside. This is where the bar is, a cool patio concept with a bunch of different types of seating arrangements. They are going to have to figure out shade though, because in the summer (which yesterday felt like) it was hot. The tables and chairs were warm/borderline hot to the touch. Pretty uncomfortable if you weren't in the shade.
The good:
The location is solid. The burgers were good. I got the FOLC burger.
The bad:
management? I don't know who to blame for the next part of this. Took 45 minutes to get 2 burgers. For being a "bierHaus" they had shiner, coors, and budlight on draft. They were out of a bunch of drafts and cans. I was expecting to be able to get something more interesting than that.
When the food came, they informed us they were out of french fries.They were also out of about half of their menu including chicken strips, fish tacos, pork sliders, and a few other dishes. They cut off lunch service at 1:30pm, turned away many customers. Watched many folks complaining about the amount of time it took to get their food.
It seems like they had plenty of staff, just not organized. I feel like they are trying to be a bunch of different kinds of places all rolled up in one. I hope to chalk this up to opening weekend, but they have to get it figured out with graduation coming next weekend and then the death of summer coming.
Overall 3 stars. Would go again, but not excited about it.
