Came here last night before going to Mid Oak Distillery. The bar comfort food was very good. I personally had the Reuben sandwich and a nice pint of Guinness. I will definitely come back. The hostess and waiter were both very friendly and made us feel at home. Next time we are in Midlothian this will be a definite consideration for lunch or dinner.
Review Source:Met a few friends for drinks on a Friday - early, around 6:30. Â The place is really nice inside - lots of wood, big space, clean. Â Service was good - started off at the bar with a Cosmo, which was made right. Â
Moved to a table when others arrived and had a great waitress. Â A few more martinis and then we headed to our next destination. Â
This review is only for drinks and atmosphere. Â I looked over the menu, and nothing jumped out at me. Â I also looked over their band schedule and will be back to check that out. Â Not sure what the crowd will be like when it is croweded.
I was there for lunch on 4/27/12. Â The place is really nice inside. Â The decor is fitting for the type of establishment it is, but on a sunny day, it's really difficult to see when you're inside. Â The light shines through the front windows and your eyes never really adjust, since it's so dark inside. Â Some sort of tint on the windows would be really helpful.
I wish I had more good things to say. Â My dad, sister and I waited about 45 minutes to receive our food. Â It wasn't a difficult order, it was a burger, soup and something called a Boxty. Â I'm not kidding. Â That's all we ordered, and it took about 45 minutes to make that. Â The restaurant wasn't busy at all. Â There were 5 people in the restaurant when we came in, and they had already ordered. Â Two more came in after we ordered. Â I'm really confused why it took so long. Â Oh, and don't expect the Boxty to look like it does in the menu's pictures.
My sister said the soup was okay. Â My dad said his Boxty was okay. Â I ordered the Bacon Cheddar burger with house-made chips on a pretzel roll. Â Well, the menu said "pretzel roll" so I assumed that's what I would get. Â My burger came out on a bun about twice the size of the burger. Â This was some seriously hefty bread, folks. Â I asked the server about the pretzel roll and she didn't know what the menu said and was generally confused by it all. Â I told her not to worry about it. Â I thought, "Maybe they ran out of pretzel rolls." Â That is, until I looked at my sisters bowl of soup and saw half of a pretzel roll sitting there. Â Oh well, it's just bread.
The burger itself was beyond bland. Â The cheddar had been most melted off and it had one slice of bacon, cut in half. Â The meat had zero seasoning. Â It just tasted like ground beef formed into a patty. Â Nothing more, nothing less. Â It was about a $3.50 burger they're charging $7 for. Â The house-made chips were good, but would have been better had they let them cook all the way through. Â No one likes chewy chips.
If you're going out for drinks, I'm sure this is going to be a nice place to hang out, and maybe see some live music. Â I just don't recommend the "eatery" aspect of it. Â Especially if you're on lunch break from work and only have a short amount of time.
