Steve's Belgrade

Has been long time since being in town and being at the Belgrade, service was terrible and actually tried talking to Steve the owner, I met him at Torch Light,  he is a real piece of work and totally full of himself. He was with his wife who looked like a trophy wife and was not at all polite to me or any other patrons. I will never go back to either of his bars.

Stopped here on a business trip to try the half beef - half bacon burger.  The place had an atmosphere that was perfect for a neighborhood bar.  The bartenders/waitresses were really welcoming, and my food came out quickly (granted, I was the only one eating there at the time).  The bar itself had almost every seat filled with a wide variety of ages.  Everyone was really relaxed and friendly.  They have a small, but decent draft selection, and a large bottle selection, including micro-brews.  There bar also looked nicely stocked.  There were darts and a pool table in the other room.

The food itself was good.  The beer was nice and cold, and the food was hot.  The fries were big and tasty, although thick-cut isn't my favorite type of fries.  The burger itself was good, but for being made of half bacon, I thought it was a little dry.  I expected it to be more fatty than it was - I would be surprised if they really are using a 50/50 beef/bacon ratio.  The waitress didn't asked how I wanted it cooked, and it was medium-well.  I think if it was medium-rare it would have been juicier, and the taste of the bacon would have come out more.  It was almost an aftertaste, and I might not have known it was mixed in if you didn't tell me.  The toppings on the burger were great, especially the pickles!  Get the pickles!

All in all, I really like the welcome atmosphere of the place, but was expecting more of their burger.
