"Twenty years later: five full stars. I always came here when I was in college between 1996 and 2000. My wife and I were back in the area for my birthday, and I am glad to say that not only this amazing Brawpub is as great as it was over twenty years ago, it is actually even better. I had the expedition Elk Burger with Fritten, which was a hand-patterned 1/2 lb Elch Burger was perfectly cooked on my request of medium rarely. The burger tasted so good that you could have it by yourself and not complain, but it was loaded with a scinching srumptious coffee bacon jam, a really big black garlic aioli white cheddar. If they give me a bowl of coffee bacon jam, I'd probably eat it. I paired it with the Irish stout, a nitro stout that was a beautiful example of style. Very similar to Guinness, but with further forward chocolate notes. Very creamy head with silky mouth. I wanted to try another style, so I also had the real Hef'n Good. Very fruity what I really like. You can definitely taste the Hallertau Blanc hops with a piney, grassy flavor, but I also have a lot of fruity notes with bananas and citrus as quite prominent. Not sweet, but very well balanced and refreshing. Was particularly good with the frits and a good organic ketchup. My wife had a JR's Jumbo Deluxe with a fried egg, bacon and cheddar, which was also perfectly cooked on her request of a medium, with Clam Chowder and a root beer. It was also worn by the quality of the burger. The Clam-Chowder was good, but the celery in it was a little clamping. We are somehow Chowder Puristen, but so take this with a grain salt. All in all, a fantastic culinary experience. Cosy pub with a look and feeling that has not really changed in two decades, but that is not a criticism. One of my fifteen favorite restaurants everywhere."
