The Flying Pig Saloon

Good beer selection, fine food, it will do. Love the decor and the atmosphere. I am really surprised however, at how many people praise the service here! I've been coming ever since I moved in down the street a year ago and every time hope it's going to get better. I've spent half my night trying to get a refill - turned around in my chair staring down a waitress who is talking to the bartender/watching TV. After we get our food we're often forgotten for the rest of the night. Once we waited 15 minutes after finally flagging someone down and asking for a check to receive that check. I understand being busy, I have worked in restaurants before, even an eye-check would help. I almost want to take it personally when I am in there, and now that I see how many people claim they have had fine service, good even, I might start! I don't know what I did to make you mad, Flying Pig, I have always just wanted to love you!

The rest of my party told me it was my fault for getting anything other than pork at a place called the Flying Pig. So yes, maybe I didn't capitalize.
I will say they have a great craft beer selection!! The place is very cute and kitschy with lots of flying pigs and piggy decor hanging from the ceilings and vintage beer signs and posters on the walls.
After trying a couple of different IPA's, I was starving and ready for a nice, juicy Prime Rib Sandwich. I ordered a side of garlic aioli for the fries, and that was a solid combo, I definitely filled up on those. This was partly because they were good fries, but mostly because that sandwich was just NOT good. After hitting the first chewy hunk of cold, clear fat, I opened it up to find that too much of the sandwich was this inedible fatty texture. I should have taken the advice of council and gotten the grilled cheese, or one of the pork sandwiches, but I really didn't expect the Prime Rib to be this bad. Everyone else in my party of 8 seemed overall happy with their orders, so maybe this is one of the only items on the menu that is a miss.

All I have to say is that this place has, by far, the best grilled cheese on the face of the Earth! Do yourself a favor; go to this place and order the cheesy pig. Choice of two cheeses, plus bacon, ham, and tomato? ZOMG!
