Burgers & Beer Bar and Grill

I really wanted to like this place…I really did. Ate here 6 times. Mostly on Wednesdays and Fridays. First the positive: The staff is super attentive and friendly. The manager or owner comes by the table every time to check on us. The nachos with pork is good and so are the fried pickles and bone-in chicken wings. The bacon wrapped asparagus was tasty too. I tried four meals off the main menu and the only thing I liked was the pulled pork sliders. The atmosphere is loud and distracting but it’s a sports bar so it’s expected. We never had to wait for a seat even during March madness. If you like IPAs they have a good selection and you’ll find something you’ll like. Now the not so positive: The beer cheese sauce gets cold super fast and turns gelatinous on your hamburger. The halibut fish and chip is not PNW worthy. The breading seemed like panko and not a nice crispy beer batter like you’d hope for. The fish itself was not flaky. It seemed more like it was ground and formed and frozen. Expect to pay $12.00 to $15.00 for most items on the appetizer menu. They don’t really have anything that’s gluten free. The best they seem to be able to do is wrap a burger in lettuce. Every time we went they only had one choice of dark or stout beer. Lastly, at last nights meal they got one meal order wrong and forgot a to-go order. Once this was brought to their attention they fixed it but, of course, we had to wait. Also, the ice water tasted off. Almost like the glasses were washed with bleach and not rinsed well. Again, I really wanted to like your place and I felt like I gave it a good run. There are just so many really good restaurants out there and the standard high.
