Rebel Bite

Note: we went here a couple months ago, I'm just posting the review now. It is possible that they've gotten better since then?

We were *not* very impressed. We ordered the chili, a fennel pizza, and the Karl Marx (marinated beef) sandwich, and a drink. They came back after several minutes to say that actually they didn't have any chili, so we swapped in garlic fries. Food came out quick enough, we didn't have any complaints about that, other than I didn't get my drink until I asked about it...

The garlic fries had a small amount of garlic on them, enough that they *looked* like garlic fries, but not enough that they actually tasted like anything more than just regular, boring fries. Not worth 5 bucks. The sandwich, I actually thought was pretty good, but I agreed with my girlfriend (who was less impressed with its taste) that given its size, and the rather small ratio of meat to other things, it wasn't really worth 9 bucks. And the pizza, which the menu claimed would have "shaved fennel, caramelized onions, italian sausage, fresh torn basil"... well, it had fennel, which looked impressive, but didn't really taste like anything, and little sausage pieces, the kind you see on cheap pizzas like at Sbarro's. I didn't see any onions, and certainly no basil, so really, it just tasted like Sbarro's pizza, only with higher quality cheese. Definitely not worth 16 bucks. Basically, at the everything-was-half-price prices that we actually paid given we had a LivingSocial voucher, those were probably about the prices we thought all the food merited.

Oh yeah, and it's ugly as frack, too, which I don't usually notice, but seriously, cheap plastic tableclothes?

This place is awesome! Understated, subtly ironic, and attentive to the goodness of food and beer. Not fancy but correct.

I have been coming here frequently for the past 6 weeks. This place always has great service. I have never had to wait a long time for  food to be prepared. Great beers. They always change their selections and have almost 30 beers/ales/IPAs. Their food is pretty great amd cheap prices everyday 5-7pm Happy hour. I have not ONE complaint.
