The Cottage Bar & Grill

I often drove by this place and wondered what was it like. I finally decided to stop in for a beer and something to eat. I found a clean and friendly comfortable bar. The beer was cold, the food not so good at all. I ordered a Malibu chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. I received 2 BURNT, deep fried chicken pieces on a bun with a piece of cheese and ham on it. They served it with REGULAR fries. When I complained I was told the chicken was frozen so they cooked it longer and they made a mistake on the fries. So I got stuck with a nasty, heavily BURNT and over cooked chicken sandwich and BURNT potato fries. Yes they over cooked the fries too. I recommend the place for a beer, but when it comes to service or food, go elsewhere.

OK... so thanks again to Yelp and it's reviewers, I found a nice little bar and grill to go to for lunch!
I'm gonna stick with the trend... definitely a 4 star establishment!

Here's the skinny:
Where's the Door?
No Craft Beers...
Daily Specials!
Ooh... Patio

Here's the fat:
The main door to the bar and grill is a side door to your right as you walk underneath a trellis on the East wall. I wasn't sure which door to go into... There was on that said "Banquet Hall" and another door that kinda reminded me of a 16th century village house front door... that's the one.

I asked if they had any craft beers but, unfortunately they did not. They do however have a fine selection of import beers, the one I tried today was Tennent's Scottish Lager($4.00) - pretty good, not my favorite beer but it was A-OK.

The specials change every day except-

Thursday - $1.50 Sloppy Joes - these come with homemade potato chips.
Fridays - There's an all you can eat Fish Fry for $9.50 all day long.
For the current days special check the board to your Left as you walk in.
The Sloppy Joes are pretty darn good BTW.

There's a Patio out on the West side of the building, it's huge considering the size of the bar. It has some pretty neat brickwork and even has a wind shelter for smokers too.

Check this place out, it's a neat little pub.

The cottage is a tiny place, but at the same time it's kind fun. They have a back patio, which seems bigger than the bar itself, with beanbags to play out there. The food is actually pretty good too. Bartenders are allways friendly and quick. Not a bad little place to stop at.
