General Poors Tavern

You have to get the belgian waffles with sliced almonds, fresh strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast...outrageous! !

I come here for happy hour with my friends after a long day. It's like cheers. The bartenders know the orders and treat us like friends.  It's a regulars place, but they do welcome new friends.  They have a free buffet with Thursday and Friday happy hours. the food is good not great, but it's nice to help sober up when drinking.  It's super casual, so sweats, jeans, whatever works.  A lot of business men and lawyers stop in after work, so really anything flys.  Definitely worth the casual happy hour when in the area!

Since my initial review of this place, we've more or less made it a regular stop on our roundtable of restaurants, hitting it at least once a month, if not more.  

Our latest trips was last Wednesday evening, arriving around 7:45. bar side had a good crowd but the restaurant side was fairly quite with only 2 other occupied tables.    

This night we started with the potato skins and a dozen steamers as our appys.
The appetizers here are generally just OK.  The potato skins are standard bar fair,  edible but nothing to write home about. I was a bit hesitant about ordering the clams mostly because I was not wild about the one other seafood appy I had ordered previously, the crab cakes. But I'd been on a clam kick that week and and Jr. wanted a couple so I thought "what the hell."

These things were outstanding!!! I mean there were 12 or 13 nice sized little necks but the thing that made this dish was the broth they were served in. This stuff was absolute KILLER! Just having soaked in this stuff for a few minutes made these clams an absolute joy to consume.  Even my wife, who can't stand seafood, or anything that been in close proximity to seafood was soaking bread in it a wolfing it down!

My wife, having been a bit disappointed with a Chicken Piccata she had ordered elsewhere earlier in the week saw it was on the specials menu here and decided to give theirs a try. She raved over it, Said it was "delicious." And getting anything better than "nice" out of her is an accomplishment.

My son ordered his standard sliced steak sandwich which he didn't really comment on but which I guess was up to their usual standards as the thing disappeared in about 8.6 seconds.

I ordered my usual Broiled Sole.  I noticed that another reviewer mentioned that the seafood here can be hit or miss. I have to say this has not been my experience. I pretty much order the same entree every time I'm here and have yet to have a bad one. In fact, I come here specifically for that dish. Whenever I'm in the mood for sole, General Poors is where I head. Yes, I have thought that it has been slightly better on occasion than a couple of other occasions (when the fish might have been the slightest bit overcooked) but it has never been bad, not even close.

We will definitely continue to be regulars here and I continue to wholeheartedly recommend the place.
