Bunganut Pig

This is my neighborhood bar, its literally in my back yard. That being said I visit it 3 times a month tops. Draft types are limited upstairs (Only place I ever go... Went downstairs once... never again) They do have a Sam Seasonal on tap which is good since I'm from Boston.  The food is ok pub food. I stick to the chicken fingers since I don't eat red meat. However my friends say its easily the best burger in town. Their sides however suck. Best option is onion rings, not a fan of the potato wedges. There always seems to be more staff then customers, but again I go on off nights. Weekends I can hear the live music from porch, sounds good most of the time.

came here st. party's day for a change of scenery..  nice place..  love the quieter atmosphere of upstairs bar/pool room..  like how the pool/darts area is "seperated" from the bar area..  Ian, the bartender was awesome..!!  great service..!!  only complaint is - not enough beers on draft, maybe larger/domestic selection..  and "one horse town" bathrooms, only 3 of them..  wish i could have tasted the burger, but got there after kitchen closed at 10pm..

So, I have sat here for a while trying to figure out how to best start this review.  I have such mixed emotions about this place.

I had been here almost a year ago.  The food and the service were both good last time - but, its so damn far from where I live it makes coming here often pretty impractical.  

This past Saturday night - I thought about the restaurant.  I wasn't doing much at the time so, I got my roomie and he and I drove 30 minutes to eat at this cool Restaurant/Pub.

We walked in and stood there for about 5 minutes or so.  There were plenty of empty tables in the place (which, if you've never been - the restaurant downstairs is very small) and lots of employees walking around - none of which spoke to us.  We waited for about 5 minutes and finally someone came to seat us.  Except - she was trying to NOT seat us.  She asked if we were there for the music.  I told her no, we had just wanted to get some dinner.  She then said that it might be best if we went upstairs to the bar, then, because they had the tables downstairs reserved for an 8pm show.  It was just now 7pm.  I asked was there no way we could be seated down here?  She relented (but didn't seem happy about it) and gave us a table that was reserved at 8:15.  I guess I didn't understand that why they needed to keep the tables empty for an hour + ?  I mean - restaurants have reservations all the time, right?  Why try to get me to go upstairs to the bar area?  I mean - I know she had no idea where I came from - but I drove 30 minutes just to eat here in this area.  I don't know - just rubbed me the wrong way.

Then we get seated and it took a full 20 minutes before someone came over to even get our drink order.  We were JUST about to get up and walk out when the server finally came by to get our order.  I stayed longer than I normally would have - but, we drove 30 minutes and I wasn't looking forward to turning around and driving back.  But, from there - once we actually GOT our order placed - things improved.  My drink was refilled a couple times, the food was hot and fresh.  All in all - pretty good.

My roomie and I both got the burger.  I asked for bacon on mine and she said it already came with bacon.  Which, was news to me since the cheeseburger only indicates it comes with cheese on it.  Whatever - that was fine.  But maybe they should call it a bacon-cheeseburger instead of just a cheeseburger...?  The fries were OK.  

Again, the food was decent (although the menu is incorrect), the hostess rubbed me the wrong way and the service couldn't have been slower.  So, for those reasons - I'm giving it 2 stars.  I've had better, for sure.  Maybe you'll have better luck if you stop in on the Pig.
