    My wife and I decided to try the Slowdown Grillpub as we like local businesses and were dying for a new local spot to diner when in the area. We're happy to say that this is a nice little spot, and a few minor tweaks to the overall experience will make it better.

    Atmosphere - Say hello to beige and warm colors, as the Slowdown Grillpub has completely renovated the interior from the drab old business that used to be there before. The main theme for the restaurant is relaxation, and you're able to do that here in a nice clean booth or at a large table. A large bar with well placed flat screen TV's will also make for a sport's lovers night if going for the game or a beer after work. Nice layout and color scheme inside.

    Waitstaff - Our waitress was pretty good for the most part, recommended some good beers on the beer list (over 40 on tap and to go six packs are available as well!), and took care of a food issue that I had with my meal (more on that later). The place was pretty slow when we went in, so it was nice to see things coming out quickly after ordering them.

    Food - Ok, so a few minor misses here. Let's start with the good, split and order of pork dumplings that were awesome, even better then some Chinese places in the area. Crispy dumpling outside with juicy pork inside, delicious. My wife enjoyed her Slowdown Sliders (one each of a burger, crab cake, and pulled pork). I decided to try their wings, which were pretty good. Not the best I've had, but definitely better then take out or chains in the area. Now the not so good, the fries we ordered came out cold to start. Like, stale cold (yeech). The waitress brought them back and a minute later, some tasty fries came out. Although don't bother with the cheese sauce, looks like a bad whiz that's also cold. The menu here is really, really big, I'd prefer they cut down some of the items and just focus on making a few things, really good instead.

    Intangibles - We had a small fruit fly buzzing around us for most of the meal. Can't say that this was due to a cleaning issue, but pretty annoying and no idea where it was coming from. Make sure to check out the specials when you go, Monday's were $1 off craft beer, although their online menu says 1/2 off. Parking lot can be tricky to get out of during rush hour, may do better to go up the complex and out at the light if it's busy.

    Overall - I'm happy that I don't have to drive 15-20 minutes now to get a decent meal at a sports bar themed place. This seems like a good place for Football Sunday to grab a six pack and some food to go before the Eagles game. Not sure if they're thinking Sunday ticket for the bar TV's, but that might bring in more crowds during football season. Slowdown Grillpub is definitely a good spot to stop in Aston, and recommended to give it a try to see how you may like it.
