Roman's Pub

OK I have to qualify this review with a couple of things...

First, I used to cook and tend bar across the street in Niki's Nook in 1991-1992. Roman's opened while I worked there... So they are doing something right staying in business for about 20 years where other businesses have changed hands multiple times.

Second, I was happy with my visit here but also disappointed. The bartender on duty Pat, was a lovely Thai girl with a ready smile and genuine enthusiasm for attending her customers.

Full bar with a decent selection of beers. personally like to see some craft beers but that's me and not what may sell where young Marines want quantity over quality.

The food is still prepared fresh to order so it takes a bit to get it but it's usually tasty. I ordered the Mantle Chicken sandwich. Mom goofed and made it spicy, no worries, I love spicy food so I asked to take it anyway.

I noticed portions have changed, the sandwich is on the menu as Chicken with Bacon and Cheddar. It came with weak processed cheese slice, I'm guessing mild cheddar/american and one piece of bacon. Years ago it would have been more bacon and freshly sliced sharp cheddar. a few more fries wouldn't have hurt either.

Once again they are doing something right they are still in business in a town where most others have come and gone multiple times. The food is fresh and tasty, and the menu is not overly cluttered. Pat is a joy to chat with while you are there. Check them out they are worth a visit.

Sláinte!
