Pig & Fiddle

Great service. Food good. Had pretzel and burger. Hubby had corned beef.  It was a little loud but overall good.  I would go back again if someone suggested it but I probably wouldn't jump at the option.

I'm kinda annoyed by all these three star reviews where they flat out say they loved the food and thought the beer selection was awesome.  How does "loved it" equal "Ok"?

Anyway, my husband and I ate there tonight and I am definitely a fan.  I got the burger medium and my husband got the Ploughman's plate and then we split them between us.  The burger comes with an egg, and I can honestly say it was one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had, aside from the fact that it was a hot mess.  The Ploughman's plate is kind of liver-heavy, which I like, but it may not be for everyone.  It was pretty hearty, three cheeses, lots of bread, rabbit liver pate, several other meats that I can't remember exactly and fresh mustard.  It was delicious and overall quite a nice dinner.  

We got there at 6:00 and were seated immediately (with no reservations), but by the time our food came, the place was fairly hopping so reservations might not be a bad idea.  Decor was pleasant, but I could have lived without the "Sows" sign on the women's rest room.  The waiter was nice and also bore a passing resemblance to Ryan Gosling, but it should be noted that he did not spout any feminist philosophy. :)

I stopped into the Pig & Fiddle recently killing some time with a buddy of mine. Since it was early afternoon happy hour, the only patrons were seated at the bar. We grabbed a table and I started staring at the huge chalkboard beer menu, which was Impressive to say the least. Our server was very nice, and chatted with us about the various international, domestic and craft brews. Pig & Fiddle has an extremely deep beer selection, and (generally speaking) is not for the meek. That's not a bad thing, but don't visit expecting to find the typical commercialized swill many of us are all too familiar with. I had two or three brews that one would be hard pressed to find at many places in the twin cities, or beyond.

The happy hour menu, though small, did not disappoint! I ordered the mini fish and chips that was a perfect snack, and exceptionally good! Crispy golden fried whitefish served with hand cut chips, sea salt, malt vinegar, and a very unique tartar style dip. Simple, but done perfectly - and if I remember correctly it was only six dollars.

Beyond that, I regretfully cannot comment on the remainder of the menu, though it appears to be one I wouldn't mind diving into for a big dinner with friends/family sometime soon!
