T's Bar & Restaurant

Came over after having a few drinks at Hopleaf. I wasn't really feeling the vibe as it was an older crowd but the staff was still nice. We hung out in the back room which had games and a pool table. They do have some awesome gender neutral bathrooms.

I found out about this place on Yelp.  The reviews attest to its greatness and I'm here to chime in to that effect.  Met a friend here for a drink and we ended up having dinner and dessert if that speaks volumes.  Speaking of volume, this place is definitely more BAR than restaurant.  We went on a Sunday evening around 8pm and the place was lively!  Nevertheless, we were able to find a secluded corner to have a civil conversation amidst the clanking of balls on the pool table and the occasional screams when the home team did something right.  I'm all about simple food done well.  This place embodies that ethos.  I ordered a turkey burger which was juicy, topped with all the right goodies and served with a side of garlic mayonnaise brimming with shredded cheddar cheese in a little gravy boat.  Seriously??  I wanted to slather the whole mini mayo-filled boat on to my burger.  But I settled for about a third of it.  The fries were good.  Not much more to say about that.  My friend gushed about the macaroni and cheese with bacon.  She managed to finish slightly before me so I gather she wasn't just being kind.  Dinner was complemented by a double pint-size beer special or vice versa.  And flourless chocolate cake (for the win!)  Lastly, our server was delightful.  I can tell she enjoyed talking with people and sharing a few quips or jokes here and there, but it was all in good taste and not intrusively done.

The food was solid for what it was.
