Great American Pub

Ah the GAP. Proud owners of my first ever One Dollar Tip.

Was seated in a booth, no one came over after 15 minutes. Spoke to hostess who couldn't have cared less, who then nonchalantly flagged down a girl probably 16 years old to wonder over. Her eyes were both glossy and bloodshot red, remarkably matching her hair color precisely. She giggled as we each ordered diet cokes? I didn't want to grow a beard by the time I left so I put our order in for a pepperoni pizza.

It came out cold after 30 minutes. not lukewarm, but refrigerated hangover curing pizza style cold. After another 20 minutes we asked for the bill. $14. what a convenient number. I introduced her to Abe Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton, punishing her with a George Washington for all her hard work and great service.

I have been here a few times since December 2012 and have had the same waitress who recognized me and remembered my cocktail order.  Their watermelon martinis are the best and I have brought several pals back to the GAP just to try them. The menu is standard pub fare but the steak tips (more like medallions) were excellent and their spinach and artichoke dip was very tasty. Try it and see for yourself.  For dessert, our waitress strongly recommended the chocolate chip cookie pie and she was right.  She actually makes it herself.

I have a friend that loves the joint.  However, I do everything in my power to avoid this place.  I've never had a bad time here, no one has ever been rude...it's just...well...boring.  It's a sports bar and I think I have expressed my disinterest in that before.  But that's not it.  I can't quite put my finger on it.  It might be the shape of the bar, as you can't go around it once you've gone down one side of it.  It might be the people there, I just don't...know...But the pizza is good, so it got two stars.  I think that my review shouldn't deter you from making your own decisions about the place.  OH!  But if you're  a grammar nazi like me (and I know I've made typos in other reviews-forgive me)  I went in today and there was at least 3 typos in the daily specials.  That's another reason that it got two stars and not three.  I absolutely hate bad spelling and grammar in something like that.
