price: $$
verdict: it's aight

don't throw sausages at me, but beer really isn't my thing. so when i partook in the goodies offered here, i really focused on the food and the environment rather than the beer. so my review is based on the food and the ambience alright!

i ordered one of their sausage specials and was not into it. the sausage tasted fatty, the sauerkraut was interesting in a tarty way, and the mash potatoes would lose a fight againgst the mashies at kfc if one was to be had. their thin fries were good though. my friend liked her dish. *shrug* but it's not a place for food. i think it exists solely as a place to drink a lot of beer...hence a few beer guts walking about.

parking is super atrocious too. if you do manage to find a spot in their parking lot, i swear, you will feel like austin powers in his movie when he needed to maneuver his golf cart in a narrow hallway...that's how i felt when i was trying to get out of their lot. reverse, foreward, reverse, foreward....CRASH. j/k. that didn't happen, but don't be suprised if someone bumps into your car or you bump into their's while trying to get out.

i don't mind coming back, but is it really worth it? probably not. i won't shun it though if i'm really desperate.
