The Flying Saucer

I LOVE that this place has a separate area for smoking so it's a place I can go out in Addison, sit indoors, and not have to breathe smoke! Yay for the Flying Saucer! The beer selection is also why I love this place. I haven't had the food but once, but it was good when I did!

Beer selection is out of this world.  And you HAVE to get a hungry farmer plate.  The salmon is fabulous and the cheeses contrast nicely.  I'll be going back!

Probably odd, right?  I'm not a beer drinker, and I won't ever get my plate on the wall for drinking 200 different beers [though, I visited this place with a guy who is about 35 away from getting his second plate].  But, you've gotta' respect a place that seems to offer a great experience for its intended market.  Flying Saucer is a comfortable place with plenty of tables and places to sit back and drink an exceedingly wide range of beers from all over the world.  I sat there for a couple of hours during a recent evening with a few people, and without any concern about tying up a table or feeling compelled to move on.

Our waitress was great.  She knew the products, and could address a wide range of questions from our party.  She was very accessible.  Most everyone sampled the products.  We also tried some wings and chips & queso.  Despite not ordering food, we felt welcome to be there.  By the way, the atomic hot wings are hot, but not ridiculously so, and the dry rub had a nice range of flavor ... not just extreme temperature.

Comfortable place.
