I really appreciate that this restaurant is in my neighborhood. It's a perfect place to go when it's late and most other places have closed or when you have a group of people who all have different food and budget requirements.
For those on a budget there is a choice of Steamburger, Oceanburger (fried fish patty), Chicken Breast or Veggie Burger all under $5. They come with a bag of chips. You can upgrade to fries for and additional $1.95. You can also add items such as cheese or tomatoes or bacon for a nominal fee. All the above items are good. The veggie burger is bigger than the type you'd buy at the grocery store.
Their appetizer list is long and vast. Nachos are giant and could easily feed 6 to 8 as an appetizer. I was never that impressed by the potato skins but if you like wings, you're in luck. They have real wings, as well as the boneless variety. Wings are pretty much a staple in any beer-themed restaurant but they do prepare them well here.
They also have entrees that start around $10 and go up. I almost think that these items are unnecessary. There's plenty of sandwich options from $6-$8. The Tuna sandwich is served open face with mounds of tuna on each slice of bread. The Cajun Chicken sandwich is slightly spicy but not overwhelmingly so. Both come with fries and are tasty and filling. There are salads, which are pretty mediocre. Lettuce is lettuce no matter where you go. If you really want a salad, this isn't the best place to grab one.
If you want a beer, with over 100 different varieties, this is the place to be. The place can get really noisy when it's full and the service is usually good but occasionally it could be better.
Usually we're too full on beer and food to order dessert. But we did order the Mud pie once. It was good once it thawed. It arrived at the table frozen rock hard. We took it home with us and 20 minutes later, it was of the perfect consistency.
