Bad Dog Tavern & Grill

It's the place that gets business when other places are busy...but you get to kibitz with Eastern European chicks that have graduate degrees

I thought this spot was quite good...it's simple bar food, but it was tasty and the service was really friendly.  

I have to assume this place gets relatively packed at night and during games, and it was rather crowded when we were there, but it's cute, and I was perfectly happy with my lunch.

The food at Bad Dog Tavern is not good.  I had a flavorless chopped salad with bizarre chunks of boiled potato in it.  I also ordered the Steakhouse Burger which is an ordinary angus beef patty and onion rings (good) coupled with a soggy bun and overpowering amount of rosemary and thyme (bad).  I only ate two bites.  The bartender-server just cleared the plate and, when he got around to it, offered me a refill on my soda.   I wasn't impressed.  It gets an extra star for trivia nights on Thursdays, which are fun.  But by and large, BDT seemingly goes out of its way to mess up easy things.  This place is very skippable.
