Okay... I stopped writing Yelp reviews years ago, but I had to come back from the dead to say...
Flatbread Factory is a broke beer nerd's paradise!
$2 pints on Tuesday and frickin' Saturday. Â And we're not talking watered-down, mass-produced swill, oh no:
Green Flash West Coast IPA; Southern Tier 2XIPA; Founders Dirty Bastard; Six Point Brownstone... the list goes on.
Unlike other local spots boasting impressive tap lists (I'm looking at you Farmhouse), these guys give you proper 16 ounce pours on all of their draughts.
Regular prices for the beers are reasonable as well... The server we had, Annie, was nice and knowledgeable... I didn't try the food, but my buddy said his wrap was delicious.
I'll be back for sure :)
I've been here before and wasn't impressed - that was a year ago...this visit was worse than the first....
Was here last Tuesday with a group. Â One member of our group is gluten intolerant, and ordered his food accordingly. Â When the food arrived , the young waitress had not heeded the request... Â ok ...yes mistakes happen. Â But when he told her he was indeed sorry but would need a new order as he ordered the food according to his limitations, the waitress said "I PROMISE you , you DID NOT order the food that way!" Â .."Do you actually want me to make you a new order!" Â
She did make the new order and our friend expressed his gratitude. Â This young blonde waitress (with a white winter hat on) did not ONCE apologize to him but was absolutely annoyed that had to do her job. Â Â
To continue............later, I asked her for a glass of water. Â She said she would be right back. Â Instead she went and cleaned a table, talked to a table of young men, and stood at the bar and chatted with the bartender. Â Only when I got up and got the water myself did she acknowledge. Â
So if you want water or food made to fit any kind of nutritional need, steer clear .
Have been too lazy lately to write about restaurant experiences. But here it goes my husband and I have been to this place three times and really like it. Yes the menu is limited, but what they serve is good and freshly done. Also they have specials on something alcoholic several times a week. On the designated day you can get whatever they have on their wine or beer list for a low price. They also have margarita and martini special days.
We really like their pizza which is very thin crust almost like a cracker with a decent topping. Their combination of pizza topped with salad is also good. We recently had the pear salad with blue cheese dressing, very good, the freshly caramelized pears where still hot and the dressing absolutely fresh, very light.
When the Lake View House is full or you don't feel like paying Pauline's prices head for this place, it is a bar like atmosphere yet families are there, and the service is good and friendly.
This was unequivocally one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. Actually, we gave up before dining. We should have turned around as soon as we saw the filthy bathrooms, but for some reason stuck it out. Inattentive staff forgot everything from drinking straws to which table ordered a salad. One couple walked out after about 15 minutes because the waitress walked by no fewer than three times without even acknowledging their presence. After about a 40-minute wait, our pizza arrived cold and soggy. We paid for our drinks and left. What a dump.
I find it curious that Yelp filters out only the bad reviews of this restaurant. I'd feel bad for the unsuspecting diners who misguidedly head to this place due to the "good" reviews. I cannot imagine being given anything remotely edible based on our experience here.
I have only been here once before because I live in Massachusetts but I have to say it was pretty damn good. Â The jalapeno poppers there are not your usual deep fried, tasteless appetizers. Â They took a whole jalapeno, injected it with a scrumptious cream cheese filling, and breaded it with a almost nutty concoction. Â It wasn't covered in your usual popper batter. Â They are pretty hot but if you use some of the interesting Marmalade dipping sauce (also delicious), it helps mask some of the heat. Â They were the best poppers I've ever had. Â The pizza (pepperoni) was covered in fresh mozzarella, pepperonis, and a really fresh and tasty red sauce. Â The crust was crunchy and flavorful. Â I didn't have any beer because I had to drive four hours after my dinner but they appeared to have a large selection (with great daily specials). Â I would go again when I'm back in Vermont (specifically to have those poppers again!)
Review Source:There's always room in the world for good pizza. And good beer. Flatbread Factory and Tap Room is one for two. Â With a really good small (16) selection of beers on tap, there's something for every beer lover. Â The flatbreads, however, are another matter. The dough is tasty enough, though very floury and pale. The toppings are ambitious, but the night we were there they were out of pears for the pear & proscuitto. We tried the Dalai Lama, Summer, and Cheese, and were pitched three strikes. Â The cheese pizza was totally overloaded--much like what they serve at the Costco food court. The promised baby arugula and basil were absent on the Summer, with baby spinach instead. The cheeses on the Dalai Lama were vapid and heavy. We can't speak the rest of the menu, though it seems to lack coherence (unremarkable Starters, goofy Full Plate Salads, odd Nachos, South of the Border, Sandwiches etc.). In short, the restaurant doesn't have a clear identity. The abundance of televisions did little to earn it credibility points as a serious eatery.
Having seen too many restaurants come and go, I don't have high hopes for this one's survival.
